STOP EDL! - Stockholm 4th August
STOP EDL!
Where: Stockholm
When: 4th of August
With the acts of terror committed in Norway on the 22nd of July 2011, Anders Behring Breivik shocked the whole world. How can a seemingly ordinary norwegian man decide to take the lives of 77 young people? Pretty soon it was clear that Breivik didn’t act in a political vacuum. The conspiracy-theories about the so-called Cultural Marxists’ conscient support of an “islamisation” of Europe at the expense of traditional christian values were not conceived by him alone. Breivik’s context, the anti-muslim “Counterjihad movement”, is a loosely coherent milieu of intellectual bloggers, anti-muslim hooligans and right-wing populist parties throughout Europe. They want to take on the struggle over public opinion, electoral votes – and the streets.
In 2009 the “English Defence League” was launched in Luton, England in an attempt to mobilise an anti-muslim sentiment as a movement on the streets. In the beginning they managed to mobilise a few thousand participants to their provocative and confrontational marches through areas in England with a big muslim population. This year the number of participants on EDL’s marches have decreased drastically from a few thousands to a few hundreds, but the organizers behind EDL and others in the international anti-muslim milieu are now aiming to make the movement take root in other parts of Europe than England.
As the attempts to launch a Swedish equivalent, the “Swedish Defence League”, haven’t been succesful, the English leadership is now taking control. One year after Breivik’s massacre they will make another attempt – this time they want to found a global counterjihad network. On August 4th, EDL and the Counterjihad movement “Stop Islamisation of Nations” (SION) are holding an international manifestation in Stockholm with all the anti-muslim top names. The same day as the Pride parade swirls through the city. Their goal is to use Pride as a Trojan horse, to appropriate public space in order to spread their distorted right wing extremist views. With a rhetoric and an imagery derived from the crusades of the middle ages, these racists and right wing extremists should be confined to the history books. Let us in unity show the world that we refuse to accept the march of Breivik’s troops in our city.

pew pew pew
It could be said that on their trip in Århus, Denmark, Tommy Robinson announced they were coming to Malmö in Sweden next.
The leader of Swedish Defence League yesterday admitted it would be nearly impossible for them to arrange a meeting in Malmö. So they have choosen Stockholm for the first international counterjihad-meeting with the whole movement in place in Stockholm.
I seriously hope this provokes a massive anti-fascist response, and a physical response at that.

This is the same day as the Pride parade in Stockholm. It usually attracts tens of thousands so there will be a lot of people in the city this day.
The EDL will gather only a few hundred meters away from the Pride-parades park.
Wasn't this (go global etc) exactly what they claimed they where going to do in both amsterdam and aarhus? All catastrophic failures for them... I have all faith in our swedish comrades dusting up what i expect to be about 20 wanabe hardmen keeping another 30 utter loonies company..

I think the Amsterdam and Århus was just to create contacts. This time in Stockholm it is the real thing with all the main players from the US, Australia and Europe coming togheter.
The "intellectuals" of the movement will be those holding the speeches.

This is it if we really want to stop this fascist movement spreading all over Europe. If this is a huge failure there is no going forward for them because it takes a lot of time and effort to bring all the defence leagues in the world together and all the main players from US and Europe.
Last times they also claimed all kinds of "leaders" would attent, it turned out some never got invited, most declined, in the end it was tommy for five minutes and not much else..
Ofcourse we should smash them with utmost determination, but ridicule might be more effective than madd violence by now..

They have to go abroad to "defend England" because England doesn't want them, classic.
WE RIDE TOGETHER WE DIE TOGETHER
Today this reached the mainstream political debate in Sweden. The tags #Pride and #EDL have been trending all day also...
Anarchopride have long worked against the de-politicization of Pride in Sweden and this have caused some big conflicts this year with the liberals. Also involving right wing ministers.
So today this article in the conservative newspaper SVD blamed "the extreme-left" for making Pride in Stockholm cancel an event showing an Israeli documentary about "coming out as a jew".
And they basically said that it was the extreme left that was the big threat against Pride today and not the extreme right. With the lefts demonstrations against the military and police taking part in Pride and those not having an anticapitalist agenda.
Now it turns out that it was an israeli PR-firm that is heavily involved in arms trade "JKL" who wants to show this documentary and they were still having conversations with Pride about where this should happen.
So, to sum it up. EDL, an extreme right wing organisation wants to have a demonstration at the same time as Pride in Stockholm with people high up in the US Israeli-lobby taking part. The israeli PR-firm "JKL" orchestrates a conflict and tip of the right wing newspaper SVD and suddenly it is the left wing that is the enemy against Pride.
At the same time as it is the fascist hooligans in EDL that wants to use Pride for its own sick causes. This practically happens on the one year anniversary of the fellow EDL-follower Breiviks madness in Norway....
Fucked up. But glad that Anarchopride is finally having the balls to say goodbye to the official Pride and telling everybody to come and throw rocks at EDL in celebration of Stonewall.

sure, the hardcore, the now and future streetfighters should be dealth with decisively and swiftly (but may i suggest also as discretely as possible, as every one ever been on either side of attacks knows, a sillent, unexpected, and unexplained attack is way more demoralising and effective than one that follows lots of chestbeating and giving it the big one, then it will be expected and far more easy to rationalise away with "it could have been worse" or "we stood our ground" etc etc), but one should also not hesitate to deploy the weapon of riducle to frame them for the usefull idiots of the actually already dangerous anti-imigrant right that they are, as discussed in this sub-forum before exposing english C18 as the ragtag collection of drunk nonces who werent able to organise a piss up in a brewery that they where turned out to be far more effective that the mythologysing them as aryan top-boy terrorist warriors ready to unleash the nazi-revolution that they never where by searchlight/mi5/labour ever was.

The EDL have a thing for turning up at the same time as Pride parades, as recently as Bristol's pride...

Probably patological, anything with the word "pride" in it they just have to be there...

The RS will naturally take part in the counter demo. Unfortunately, I can't attend personally as I'm working, but make no mistake -- these people will not feel welcome in Stockholm.
