15. Anarchists, Black Block, are NOT "on the left"
Sat May 19, 2012, 05:54 PM
May 2012

Anarchists are closer to the Paulbots than anyone. They are extreme Libertarians. They picture some idealized utopia where no one can tell them what to do, no rules, or regulations. No social responsibilities. Libertarianism taken to its ultimate end.

Personally I think its time to ban Black Block from peaceful protests. They should be surrounded and made to take off their face coverings if they want to participate. Not only to prevent the reputation and goals of the protest, but to fish out police agent provocateurs that, YES, are being used more and more, especially hidden within Black Block. If others in the BB don't start something, you can be sure that one of these scumbag provocateurs will throw a brick through a window to get things started.
