Waking the Masses
31 10 08 - 00:57 With the market hitting an all time low, small business owners and home owners are at risk of beingpushed under. We are moving into an economic crisis. But what I see is somthing much more tyranical than just a
swing in the economy. This has been a long time coming. I am talking about the eradication of the middle class.
The gap between the poor and the rich is widening, and the ratio between the two classes is alarming as is. We as
people in this country have no say in decisions that ultimately affect us the most. I'm not going to bullshit anyone,
us anarchists are fighting an uphill battle. I do believe in firm and direct action, and am not opposed to
agressive protesting by any means, but there is a more effective way to wake the masses.
Start with those that are close to you. You may become frustrated with those that disagree.
Do not push your views like a bible thumper, just inform them and let them
do as they will with that knowledge. Because that is the true spirit of anarchism. The freedom to carve your own
path and belief system. Besides, you can catch more bees with honey than vinegar. Ask those around you about the
current dilemma. Listen to thier views, and in turn offer yours. Remember that most people you are trying to wake up
will try to denounce the truth. This is due to the fact that most people have been automated hive
workers and consumers for so long, that anything off the beaten path will scare them.
One thing people fear, is change.
If you want to take a more active roll as an anarchist, without causing too much havoc, you can fly post,
hang flags and signs on freeway overpasses, burn copies of Zeitgeist and pass them out, or search for an anarchist
group in your area.
