Palo Alto: Action Against War, Empire, & Capitalism Planned For Late June

by Anarchist Action Palo Alto (anarchistaction [at] riseup.net)
<b>End the Occupation - Destroy Empire - Dismantle Capitalism!</b>

<p>There's a war on - a war between the United States government and the vast majority

of the world's population. This war has many faces - the

struggles over globalization, corporate empire, and the invasion and occupation of
Iraq and Afghanistan - but everywhere the same lines are drawn. Everywhere the US
government is acting in the interests of
corporations, and everywhere people are being slaughtered, are starving to death,
and are watching their lives be torn apart and sold for profit.</p>

This war has to stop. The occupation must end, neoliberalism must be buried, and any attempt to invade Iran must be prevented. The prediction that the US may not have the military or political capacity to wage another war must be fulfilled. Already well over five thousand soldiers have deserted and recruitment is falling far short of the military's goals. It's our responsibility to insure that the US government does not maintain a political or social capacity to continue its war on the world's population.

What does this mean? This means we need to step up our resistance - and we need to do it now! The US can only continue its devastating economic pursuits if it can rely on our complacency and the safety of the corporations which it serves. If we act together to take back control out our own lives, environments, and relations, present a serious challenge to government power, and inflict serious economic damage upon the corporations responsible for this war, they won't be able to invade Iran or even continue the occupation of Iraq - and they'll be in a lot more trouble than that!

It is not enough to oppose one piece of this horrible puzzle - what we win one place will be taken away somewhere else. From war to globalization, occupation, and all other attcks on working and poor people around the world, to their architect, the G8 - it is the system itself which must be destroyed. As hundreds of thousands converge on Scotland to prevent the leaders of the world's 8 wealthiest countries from meeting to plan their next attack, we must mobilize here to resist it. Converge on downtown Palo Alto late this June - destroy their nightmare, make your dreams possible!
