So CCAWR blames the PL, ISO, CAWI (and about 700 other people) for marching on Clark--ONE BLOCK--away from where they marched. [Although...I thought that march on Dearborn wasn't even the CCAWR march? I thought that was supposed to be the Michigan Ave. thing which never happened?]

And then the anarchists blame CCAWR for marching on Dearborn--TWO BLOCKS--away from the supposed "good" street to march on--Mich. Ave.

Who the hell needs the Chicago cops to divide us, when we're all so willing to do it ourselves?

And you wonder why the demo was smaller this year?

What the fuck ever happened to respecting a "diversity of tactics?" Or does that not count to anarchists when it's CCAWR....or to CCAWR when it's CAWI and the ISO and the PL (and Neighbors for Peace and every other group that marched down Clark?)?

And if anarchists or CCAWR or anyone else didn't like the way these marches split, here's a novel idea: PUT OUT A PLAN AND A REAL ROUTE NEXT TIME! Don't just leave the decision in the hands of one or two people to make on the spur of the moment. Have a real team of identifiable people empowered to lead the thing, to negotiate with the police. Have a team of marshalls to relay information and keep the crowd together.
