The IAC Strikes Again (with glitter)!

The International Anarchist Conspiracy, popularly known for its glitter(magic)-filled water balloon attack on the Minutemen in Seattle has struck again---this time in Tacoma.

Somewhere in the dark, industrial heart of Tacoma, hanging on a fence was a sign in support of Ron Paul, the favorite fascist, anti-immigrant presidential candidate of the Minutemen and their nationalist ilk. (By the way, it was a shitty banner. Very poorly made. Pretty sad.) The sign read "RON PAUL / PRESIDENT 2008".

Activists from the IAC magically changed the banner right there---through the sheer power of their wizardly minds.

When the cloud of sorcerer smoke had cleared and pixie dust (or was it pixie sticks?) floated to the ground, the anarchist witches and warlocks were gone.

Yet the Ron Paul banner remained. Only over the original words are "Destroy Nationalism (A) / (E) Tear Down All Borders." Glitter covered the new words and sparkled in the sunshine---filling us with hope for the new world we are building.

Rumour has it that the IAC worked this magic that night to point out what Ron Paul and his followers stand for: nationalism, anti-immigration, racism, and ultimately, fascism."

Although it does not matter who gets elected. People will be there to fight whatever authoritarian jerk fills the position. We can not settle for any politician to rule our lives. We will only be happy when every single individual has control over their means of survival and their lives, and every community has control over local decision making.

Of course, we will not stop fighting then. We may have to keep fighting to keep the continuous revolution going. We will never reach a utopia. We will keep fighting the fascists and authoritarians and our own conditioned tendencies toward hierarchical expression.

But today the IAC sent a message to Ron Paul, his supporters, and everyone else who sees the sign: these leaders are nationalist and racist and we will fight them wherever they have or seek power.

*This message was not endorsed by the IAC. It may be dangerous (or beneficial) to your health. Side effects may include the desire to fight politicians and minutemen, picking up random sticks and trying to use them as magic wands, and cultivating a sense of collective struggle and belonging, because you are not the only one *
