Why aren't we doing it here?

[DannyRed]

All over the world there has been a history and present practice of i guess you can say "acts of resistance". So why don't we see it here in England? I mean par the environmentalists and animal rights activists you don't really see any displays of people either sabotaging or causing some kind of mass civil disobedience. Okay yes there was that group in Bristol with the train signals but a isolated case wont change much...
Just curious that's all. I'm not condoning violence or damage of property.
Many thanks

The working people of England, the USA, etc. are indeed exploited, but are much closer to being on the receiving end of capitalism than the people of India, Palestine and the like.

Hence the passivity.

Labor Aristocracy from Imperialism and false class consciousness due to intelligent propaganda systems.

Hence the passivity.

and, unfortunately, the apathy and/or ignorance.

2011 riots i do not support in any shape or form. Yes it was bred out of greed and hijacked a legitimate demonstration of anger. Surely this kind of greed is the exact thing we're meant to be against?

2010 student riots i wouldn't call sustained resistance as it was mainly a bunch of pissed off students who only spoke out when they were being put down and straight after went back to their uni's to spend more tax payers money getting trashed every other night and brag about what they did that day for the next 2 years.

And the angry brigade was in the 70s. If anything the 70s and 80s had the best days of action especially with the AFA in the 80s

Exploitation in the core capitalist countries is more comfortable than that experienced across the rest of the world, and England is pretty close to the center of the core.
