As far as unity and love among anarchists we’ve got that covered. I felt nothing but love in the crowd. However, when it comes to strategizing we fall short. There was a problems with the speed of the March. Should we have gone faster? Should we have gone slower? Either way we needed to decide in a quicker manner than we did. The gaps that appeared in our march were ridiculous. I think we lack communication. But I definitely give props to the Rat Patrol for staying alongside us the whole time, suggesting that the march stop for everyone to catch up and what not. I’ve heard a lot of criticism since the end of the rally up till now. People who have a problem with the way things are flowing should step up and take the initiative to fix the problems they see, not wait for someone else to do it….we are anarchists after all, aren’t we? If you wanted better chants there’s a simple solution for that. Start up better chants. If you want to see better flyers….make them. If you want direct action…get an affinity group and carry out direct action. If you want a mass action move through the crowd and round up people for a mass action. I still love all of you fuckers though.
