@autonomysolidarity I am greatly in favor of anarchy or consensus-based decision-making. But it is not going to come about through violence. I'm sorry they died, but this was a bad mistake all around. Not only is it dangerous to the activists who use violence, it gives authoritarians another excuse to imprison and kill anarcho-activists who are peaceful and working to change in a non-violent way.

@flyhigh Were you there? Are you sure that this is how it went?

It is precisely these authorities who tell the story in this way ;)

@autonomysolidarity Fair point, but then what happened? Is it also not true that other people who used violence have been killed by their own explosives? So, let us say that it is never a good idea to use violence to get what you want.

@autonomysolidarity Never. I'm aware of Gelderloos and I do not agree with him at all. Violence begets violence and only gives the authoritarians more excuses to attack everyone, even non-violent anarcho-activists, who are against the nation-states.
