So let me see if I understand the situation at hand:

Starhawk goes down to Mexico, and gets some kids all worked up with her star power and ideology. She doesn't, however, prepare them for the forseeable consequences of their actions. She then leaves them to the wolves. (Did she indeed have no clue about Mexican authorities? How is her Spanish? What exactly was she there to train them to do? The whole proposition is dubious at best. Not to digress...)

The wolves indeed pounce on the kids and proceed to eat them, and we are now to come to the rescue, with money and organizing, because of the irresponsibility of her self-righteousness? To mitigate the quite forseeable consequences of her misguided actions? To absolve her cluelessness? We might be able to mitigate or end this little nightmare sooner, but we can't undo rapes and fractured skulls. We are also supposed to move on reaction here, and feel bad to boot.

May I humbly suggest it is time for a rethink of strategy, as this does not represent a functional organizing model (if it ever did). Good morning America: Some people have no commons to reclaim. Some have no rights to fall back on. It is the height of imperial arrogance to assume our organizing models fit other people's needs, let alone convince children in those circumstances to follow our organizing paradigms.

Next time, she should bring the Mexican kids here, to teach dumbass yanks how to survive the typical third world prison experience. From recent publicity on US Army tactics, they might not be so far off the mark, nor so far from home.

It's obvious we don't have a clue here. On the other hand, as long as we're not allowed to debate anarchist leadership because the official line is that it doesn't exist, these kinds of tragedies will continue to plague "our" "movement."

Maybe Carlo Guiliani wasn't a hero, maybe he was just another stupid, fucked-up, tragic mistake of shitty anarchist praxis.

To assume that the people who participated had no prior experience and we're the fatihful devotees of starhawk and her teachings is to discredit theose who participated in the protests of the cumbre. there we're thousands of peole in the streets in those days, myself included, and people who came from many backgrounds.
In my personal opinion more training and skillsharing is a nessicity and one of the things i fel is lacking in "the movement" in mex. and the contribuitions that starhawk made was a useful one and appreciated by the activistswho recieved it. but by no means we're they inexperienced shmucks who we're abondaned.
they are courageous compan~er@s who gave their bodies and minds in resistance and yes i feel as though we do need to act in solidarity, just as those same activists did for the movement of the north during the repression in Seattle.
where will we get if we don't support movements cross these stupid imposed borders and use the privlidge we hold of living in the US to suppport our copman~er@s when they need that support.
There is no need to discredit the training or experience of all involved. Better off spend your time building the movement here.

Movement building? I wouldn't know a thing about that. I'm just talking out my ass.

Can't you tell? I must be-- because I'm not saying things you already agree with. Nope, not a single thing to this critique of "anarchist" "leadership."

That's why a revolution is just around the corner. No, really, come back here, come back and carry this puppet at those cops... it's for the revolution!!

Hi folks – and a question: Does anyone own a copyright on "coralled toy soldiers games"? Weather not I'll find myself playing it too. Civil rights will be demanded in Germany soon.

Keep up the great work!
