Do you seriously suggest someone attempt to destroy this building?

[hazard]

what do you think?

as it stands, thats one of the nicest suggestions I've heard involving the US in sometme. its just a building, you know.

[Donut Master]

People might be injured. That's violence, something which I am very opposed to.

You're not thinking ahead at all if you seriously would want to do something like this - you're just plain out of touch with the way the world works. THINK: what would actually happen if someone were to destroy the building?

There would be a serious backlash from Bush and Blair, claiming that terrorists are back once again to cause menace to the western world! This would be used as an excuse, yet again, to further stamp out our civil rights and crush political dissent. Even worse, if they found out a leftwing radical was responsible... there would be no end to the followed persecution of leftists in both countries. "Communists are dangerous! They want to bomb us! Let's 'round 'em up!" You would quite literally achieve the opposite of the desired effect.

Even disregarding the backlash, why blow up this building? What is it's importance? Very little, that's what - it's a damn embassy, destroying it will do nothing. If you are going to destroy some property, why not a munitions factory, or some missiles, tanks, etc. At least do something that will hinder Bush's ability to fight these imperialist wars, otherwise you're just wasting your energy with meaningless violence that will effectively result as shooting yourself in the foot.

Get your head out of the clouds and smarten up a bit, comrade!

Sorry Donut Master, i dont know what came over me, im just a little fed up of the Amerians :-(

[The Sniper]

oh dont worry i dont think it will be completely destroyed on may day just sort, besieged. Plus i very much dought any ppl will be workin there that day as it would be completly insane. Donut master unlike u i argee with violence as a means to an ends, in certain cases. No u are rite if the embassy is completely destroyed there would be a backlash, but if it is attack and damaged is done to it, it adds weight to the movement and draws attension from the media. It shows the governemnt that demonsations are gonna have an effect no what what properganda and media backout they use.

[thursday night]

We are weakened when we cannot separate violence perpetrated by the imperialist/capitalists and armed revolt against their violence that is our only tool in overthrowing capitalism and establishing socialism.

[The Sniper]

Armed revolt isnt a clear cut thing, its a whole system of events coming together at the right time and with the right ppl leading it. Armed revolution doesnt start with ppl just picking up guns and overthrowing the governemnt, its a whole system, and something has gotta set off that system. Im not talking terrorism, that is something i nither argee with, support or will ever back (even though in the famous Cuban revolution terrorism was used). Its all about starting off a chain of events that leads to revolution and that chain has to start somewhere my friend and if it means public fustration being vented and backlash from the government, im all for it. With oppression comes the need for something else, something better and thats wot we are all after.

[hazard]

donut, I'll get my head out of the clouds when you get your head out of your ass.

that's violence? did you figure that one out all by yourself? take a look around. america has been bombing Iraq non stop for a decade. THAT's violence. soldiers just gunned down 13 demonstraters in iraq. THAT's violence.

one little, insignificant, fascist embassy is not going to make a difference in light of all the REAL violence going on in the world. blowing up the embassy would be more like justice than violence.

who is that wormy lookin dude in your avatar?

[kylie]

one little, insignificant, fascist embassy is not going to make a difference in light of all the REAL violence going on in the world.
exactly, its not worth the resources to destroy that embassy. the contents of it and people, on the otherhand, it could be worthwhile, but the building itself is just that, a bunch of bricks.

[RED FIRE]

Could noy have said it better THURSDAY NIGHT,right on its the only way to smash the barrier.

[WhoWillFight]

wish i could be there to lend my strength to any attack on the embassy. Donut they wont be attacking with nuclear bombs ya know.
Violence is not the monopoly of the oppresser

[Dirty Commie]

If you make one cake you are NOT a chef
Paint one picture you are NOT an artist, but,
If you blow up one embassy you ARE automatically a terrorist!-SNL

Listen. Although Communism by nature is opposed to violence (particularly petty violence), it realizes that true pacifism cannot be achieved unless the WORLD is communist and all boundaries are eliminated. Che Guevara- the epitome of the perfect commie warrior- was a peace lover, but realized that in order to achieve true peace he'd have to fight, and even give his life (which he did). A communist cannot effectively be a pacifist in the sense that pacifism is opposed to all conflict. In a capitalist world, it's virtually impossible, in the sense that you have to "defend your pacifism", which is an oxymoron.

In a communist utopia, where the world is shared amongst the people, one can be a pacifist- in fact, we'll all be pacifist by nature- as we won't even need to "fight" for it.

I do actually agree with you in that bombing the embassy would achieve nothing at best, but being a pacifist communist simply isn't practical (although perhaps possible).

[CubanFox]

The US embassy in Canberra is safe as houses. If I was stupid enough to try and destroy it (btw, very good points, Donut) I'd be mowed down very quickly by the plethora of armed guys that guard the place.

[BRIN]

why don't ya just kill the arse hole who run the place ,you can do this by ramming a hatpin in they're ear.this penertrates the brain and causes a heart attack so walla natural causes.The ira did it to some brit guy,i got this from the anachist cook book

[CubanFox]

They'd take a look at him and notice that there was a small hole in his brain.

[Leftist Spider]

Revolution cannot be achieved without destroying things. How on earth are you gonna declare a revolution, so to speak, if you're just gonna yell and shout? Do you think they're gonna listen to you? Besides, we want to overthrow them, so how on earth are we gonna do that eventually if all we do is be pacifists while the entire army is like a puppet in their hands?

[ComradeRiley]

We need to destroy everything we can of those wanker capatilist bastards american shit heads

[Dirty Commie]

I agree with comrade Riley.

[hazard]

so do I

except capitalists aren't bastards, they're pigs

communists are bastards

[Kapitan Andrey]

hazard...Ha! If capitaliss are pigs and communists are bastards...then who are you?

As for me, I'am temperate-socialist.


I always wanted to throw something into u$ embassy...stone...egg...ink...no matter...I WANT TO DO IT!!!

[hazard]

what I mean is in the typical phrasing of this dichotimy, the capitalists tend to refer to communist's as "commie bastards" while the communist's tend to refer to capitalists as "capitalist pigs"

at least that's my understanding of it

pig because of greed, filth, and appetite

bastard because of communal values (ie. family disintegration, property disintegration and inherital disintegration)
