    This scumbag is coming in october 26 to speak right in my campus. Please everybody should come to the Michigan State University to oppose this piece of shit and the people bringing him.

    They shall not fucking pass.

    Update:

    We don't still know where is the lecture but we will have a rally point in The Rock (If you ever come to MSU just ask where the hell is that) at 6 PM in October 26.



    East Lansing, Mich. – Nick Griffin, the chairman of the British Nationalist Party, will give speech at Michigan State University on the issue of how Europe is rapidly becoming Eurabia. He will be speaking on October 26, from 7 to 9 p.m. The university has not yet assigned the lecture hall where he will give his speech.

    The Young Americans for Freedom (YAF) is a conservative, non-partisan political organization that was founded on September 11, 1960. Former members of YAF include President Ronald Reagan, author Pat Buchanan, Congressmen Tom Tancredo and Dana Rohrabacher, Vice Presidents Dick Cheney and Dan Quayle, and actor John Wayne.

    Over the last year and a half, MSU-YAF has hosted speeches by Congressman Tom Tancredo, Minuteman Civil Defense Corps President Chris Simcox, Center for Immigration Studies Executive Director Mark Krikorian, and many others.
    I don't still know the place where this asshole is going to speak. I will discuss this with the people I work in here. I will hopefully get you updated.

    Isn't the University of Michigan known for radical student action? If that reputation is true, you should have no problem letting him know how you feel about his "free speech".

    You should pie him. And then shut down the meeting. I recommend fireworks, personally.

    This is not UofM, this is michigan statre university, and yes there is a sizeable radical population.

    Today I am going to meet up with some comrades, but apparently the event is going to be full of cops who will not hesitate to arrest. When Christian Simcox came, that minuteman scumbag, the crowd became rowdy and there where a few arrests. Lets see what comes out of the discussion.

    Fuck cops they make everything more boring.

    Of course, I didn't mean they had to attack him or anything. But it would be nice to see a lively protest against this fascist.

    Mate, we do what we can to stop him speaking and organising here. But the US isa bit out of our way.

    It's really heart warming to know we've got comrades who are willing to help out when things get out of our reach.

    Good luck with this!

    It would be nice to see a lively debate, where Nick Griffin's arguments are taken down, refuted and ridiculed. Of course, this is not to say that the debate should be confined safely within the comfortable four walls of a lecture theatre (which is most likely the intention of this 'Young Americans for Freedom&#39. Set up stalls outside, distribute literature, engage people in debate, prepare for confrontation. The point is to win the argument, thus winning people over to our side.

    But the pathetic 'No Platform For Fascists' lobby would rather appeal to the institutions of bourgeois society to pass banning orders against the far-right. You don't eradicate scum by sweeping it under the rug.

    Exactly! The most powerful weapon we've got against these bastards is their own vile words, exposed for what they actually mean. Banning them just lets them chuck fuel on the fire for their "freedom of speech" platform, which actually generates a lot of sympathy for them.

    Let 'em speak, take 'em down. Easy.

    The walls pull back, they are transparent and they pull back... love can create this feeling, or art; it is rare to feel it in society, where one is almost always confronted with a kind of obligatory inertia, where the activity one pursues goes almost always hand in hand with the painful feeling of its limitations. But during the strike, we could touch it with our fingers, rub our hands across its back.

    I don't think they were talking about getting the school to ban them, I think they were talking about direct action against the fascists.

    Er, the "No platform for fascism" has its use, it is not just some romantic pandering against the evils of fascism.

    The theory behind it is that fascist efforts to organize should be disrupted the shit out of them. This makes it impossible for them to have cohesive organization and therefore, as BCBM said, "makes the streets safer".

    I don't think normal people, except hardcore liberals, give a shit if Nick Griffin is disrupted or not. Perhaps, because Nick Griffin isn't exactly trying to organize fascists here, the "no platform for fascism" doesn't applies to him. However, if anyone is willing to interrupt/shut down/disrupt the shit out of him I wouldn't care.

    I need to be really careful because I am not an american citizen.

    Wow Marmot i diddnt know that you lived in michigan. I've got some comrades up at cmu that would be more that willing to come and shut down the fash.

    The YAF are ridiculous really, the one at central is lead by a selfproclaimed monarchist (i think mostly for attention). He tried to take over the college republicans last year by calling the cops on a party full of the CR toights, but they were all 21 anyways. Anyways send me a pm with details when you have them.

    Diddnt the SPLC name the michigan state yaf specifically a hate group?

    ...revolutionaries are anti-civilisation because we are opposed to what class society defines as 'civilized' and desireable; because class society and 'civilization' are two-sides of the same coin. Hierarchal organisation, parliaments, commerce, property rights, the police, law and order, fences, borders, religious institutions, these are the things that define 'civilization.' These are the institutions upon which 'civilized society' and class society are based; and all of these will be destroyed when capitalism, the state --- when bourgeois society is pulled down and trampled on by the exploited and oppressed in the struggle for liberation. - bleeding gums malatesta

    It sounds like Nick Griffin almost would be mainstream in the USA.

    I'm sure many here in America would sympathize with the BNP's hatred of immigrants and "sexual deviants".
