I don't get the point of Anarchists who always seem to be at any big protests.

And please don't use the verb form as an answer to my question.:rolleyes:

    Anarchists protest for reasons just as many other types of protesters do, what is the point in you coming on here talking about ur American government and praising them while they are filling urhead with bullshit.

    Anarchists have the right to protest if they wish for their beliefs.

    their beliefs.

    What are their beliefs...goals? That's my question.

    Might be a separate question: who's responsible for the violence? Is it them or someone else?

    Their beliefs are that having no Government would benefit the country.

    Are they the ones doing the violence at the various world conferences or is it some other group?

    Anarchists (certainly of the leftist Kropotkin variety) disapprove of private property and other aspects of capitalism. Ergo, why can't they protest?

    Anarchists believe that the state should be eradicated as it too coercive. Leftists anarchists (who may follow the works of Kropotkin) disapprove of private property. Anarcho-capitalists support property rights, but still want to get rid of the state.

    You have a stick up your butt big time about the left. I would venture to guess that it could just as likely be right wing elements insinuated into the ranks of these summit protests purely with the intent of inciting small pockets of violence for the cameras in order to discredit the legitimate grievances of the majority of protestors in the eyes of the typically fence-riding public at large.

    How easy for those like you who will see some well placed images and hear some corporate commentator deride the protestors as entirely unruly and simply conclude that there is no worthy agenda held by those who oppose rampant corporate expansionism.

    So very much you have yet to learn.

    I don't get the point of Anarchists who always seem to be at any big protests.

    That's how the thread started. Then I asked: "are they the ones who are doing the violence at these global summits."

    Monocrat answered:

    Anarchists believe that the state should be eradicated as it too coercive. Leftists anarchists (who may follow the works of Kropotkin) disapprove of private property. Anarcho-capitalists support property rights, but still want to get rid of the state.

    It was a discussion... Lefty.
