World Can't Wait anti-capitalist contingent/counter protest (october 5), meeting Sept 16

The World Can't Wait anti-Bush protest is coming up on Thursday, October 5 in Seattle.  As you may know, this protest's intent is basically to yell the Bush regime out of office with a mass of people marching in the streets, which is totally ineffective, impractical, a waste of time and resources, and ignores the larger problems of government and capitalism.  

Also, World Can't Wait is led by the RCP (Revolutionary Communist Party) who is a leninist-maoist-stalinist vanguard party led by chairman Bob Avakian.  

There is a possiblity of an anti-capitalist contingent/counter protest, taking the focus off of Bush and addressing the bigger issues of capitalism and the state, and maybe against RCP.  Affinity groups are welcome.

A meeting is being organized for anti-authoritarians from the Seattle, Tacoma, and Olympia areas to meet and strategize.  Follow-up meetings may follow if we decide it's necessary.  Tacoma was chosen for its central location, not too far away from either Seattle or Olympia.
