RBS Chief Has House And Car Smashed

In the early hours of yesterday morning, 25th March 2009, the house and car of notorious thief Fred Goodwin received a dose of proletarian justice. Windows at his luxury home in The grange, Edinburgh, were smashed as was his car. A statement issued by “Bank Bosses Are Criminals” read as follows:

We are angry that rich people, like him, are paying themselves a huge amount of money, and living in luxury, while ordinary people are made unemployed, destitute and homeless.
This is a crime. Bank bosses should be jailed.
This is just the beginning

We can say without a shadow of a doubt that we support the actions taken in smashing the property of this thieving parasite.

Unfortunately it will be us not them who suffer!

Whilst we, the working people of the world, will pay for the greed and decadance of the banking system the parasites responsible for the mess will continue to live in oppulence and splendour. As we struggle to keep up our mortgage repayments, our rent and to pay off any credit we may have these scum bags live the life of riley at your expense.

They only sleep safe in their beds at night because we allow them too.

We need to purge these parasites from our society, they contribute nothing and live off our hard work. Why should we have to work whilst these people play games with our future? With the future of our children and our communities?

The only rational response is to bring this insane system to an end and reorganise our society to keep power out of the hands of parasitic scum like Fred Goodwin.

We need to bring about Anarchist-Communism now more then ever.

Eruptions of anger in Iceland

One of the weekly demonstrations in Reyjavik

Not to be outdone by Greece, the economic crisis has brought out a wave of popular anger in Iceland as well. This article by AFTAKA, Direct Action in Iceland is an excellent, detailed roundup of what’s going on there.

More on the banks

Collecting some more resources to try and understand the banking crisis. The previously mentioned audio talk has been turned into this video:

This new website, Bail us out, has been set up to argue that the billions used to bail out the banks would be better used paying off consumer debt. They’re looking for people to submit stories about why they should have their debt dropped first.

For anarchist views on economics generally, there’s the Anarchist FAQ. Section C, “What are the myths of capitalist economics?” would be a good place to start.
