I'm starting the White Bloc--who's with me?

Yeah, Randy, that’s a brilliant idea. You lead the way, and we’ll be right behind you. Don’t bother to look back-- you can be sure we’ll all be there to support you when you reveal your secret to the protesters!

Could we have a Boy Wonder Auxilliary of probationary members?

Wait, are you sure this is an original idea? Something seems familiar about it, can’t put my finger on it . . .

Known racist runs around in white costume, commits random violent acts on Blacks? I agree, it seems kkk-cliched

Left-wing anarchists (like the “black bloc” ones) tend to merge anarchistic ideas with socialism–this is a long tradition that goes back to people like Proudhon and Kropotkin. However, not all of them employ violent tactics (or even most of them), and even the black bloc ones typically target property, not people (though they’re often willing to return violence against security officers). Unlike the OP’s proposal of actually assaulting demonstrators, regardless of their affiliation.

Yeah, historically speaking, the color white has been associated with monarchism and the far right, e.g. the counterrevolutionary White Terror episodes. And those would definitely be the kind of people who would be attracted to a “White Bloc.”

Quite seriously, with your choice of colors (or lack thereof) and your anti-socialist stance, your best bet is to make connections with neo-Nazis and Stormfront types, who love to get into street brawls with anarchists. But you need to be aware that many of the anarchists are used to fighting with heavily-armored police, and the ones from Europe are accustomed to breaking up Neo-Nazi rallies and the like. If you’re serious about organizing a “White Bloc” (and you’re not), it’s very likely that your ass would be the one getting kicked.

Strangely enough, there are some local anarchists who’d be down with this idea (with a couple changes).

On May 1, some Black Bloc mofos from Chicago came to Asheville, went to an anarchist party, and afterward went on a rampage through downtown, smashing windows and destroying property. They targeted a lot of small, locally-owned businesses. The cops picked them up pretty quickly, and they’re facing some serious charges.

The local anarchists were enraged by these folks, seeing them as a particular pernicious brand of tourist: come to Asheville, enjoy the mountains, fuck it up, and leave! While the black bloc groupies back in Chicago held fundraisers to pay the $110,000 in bail for the vandals, the local anarchists tried to find ways to help out the local folks that were hurt by the rampage, and did some PR stuff, basically saying to Asheville, “Hey, we’re your local anarchists, and we’re not about smashing stuff up, we’re about community gardens and co-op bookstores.” I wouldn’t be at all surprised if next May 1, the locals do a community-watch thing to prevent a recurrence of this incident.

Our local anarchists are cool.

White-in candidate | Metro Detroit News | Detroit | Detroit Metro Times Here is a prototype for you. In Detroit ,in the 60s there were marches first for civil rights and then to protest the Viet Nam war. Breakthrough was formed to harass and beat marchers. If a marcher got separated after the march, Breakthrough thugs would beat them up. It did not matter if they were women ,men or nuns. They brought the violence that you approve of to peaceful protests. They too had no trouble justifying their aggression.

Rand Rover is a doughy Internet blowhard – he’d get his ass kicked at a Girl Scout rally.

The cock block? Brilliant!

Finally! I really didnt want to explain my own joke :slight_smile:

Was it out there that long? I had to preview to confirm nobody beat me to it.

It’s safe to say the worst of them is a better person than Rand Rover.

And what’s more, it would remain safe to say it, even if the speaker were in the same room with RR instead of communicating from an anonymous computer terminal.

This is all I can think of now…

Well, it was overshadowed by the rather humongous one posted in the OP, you have to admit.

…and sell them Progressive Car Insurance…?

the massive cock or the massive joke? :slight_smile:

Tonight? How about EVERY night!!

God knows American politics and what passes for society is far from perfect, but at least I don’t live in a country where that is going on.

And why can’t I get “The Big Lebowski” out of my head?

Shit. When I was a teenager, I had a friend who was an anarchist punk. I saw him on the bus one day, and we were catching up, and I suggested that we stop downtown for a bite. He shrugged apologetically and said he’d love to, but couldn’t: the American Pride skinheads downtown were looking for him and had promised to beat him bloody if they caught him.

Happens here too.

These tough anarchists have broken up to tens of Starbucks windows! They aren’t to be trifled with.
