S24: A call for a Revolutionary Anti-Authoritarian Bloc Against the War and Capitalism
On September 24th, Anarchist Action, an autonomous network of groups and individuals, has called for a Revolutionary Anti-Capitalist Convergence Against the War in San Francisco. Over the summer, Anarchist Action has held several successful (sub)urban insurrections, militant street parties, and marches in and around the Bay Area. We are inspired by our comrades from the West coast, and as they converge on the streets in San Francisco, we too will take to the streets of Washington DC!
We are calling for a Revolutionary Anti-Authoritarian Bloc Against the War and Capitalism. Meet on September 24th and bring flags, sturdy banners, clothes to blend in at the march, and other defensive items you might need to oppose the war and the system behind it!

Ben Seattle

(1) organize a decisive break from the
confinement of liberal-imperialist politics,
(2) mobilize the masses in their millions and
(3) chart the couse forward to a world without
imperialist war or capitalist exploitation
