<br />
We will be in big trouble when you start exploring the "contradiction" in the term Anarchist Organisation.<br />
<br />
On the other hand maybe all wage labour under capitalism is based upon exploitation and "ethical" consumption is a myth that recuperates struggle into a market choice. Then again you should have spotted this yourself when you called them "anti capitalist" protesters and not niave liberals who are against bad companies.rwhttp://www.indymedia.ie/article/80434#comment1809532007-01-05T15:18:56+00:00BLahNever said it was an original viewpoint.

I'm sure if he had a coca cola to cool down after smashing the G8, it would be acceptable<br />

Hah...http://www.indymedia.ie/article/80434#comment1809582007-01-05T16:26:24+00:00DaveI think the point is very well made.

<br />
Our "Smash G8" friend in the pic could be accused of being a holiday-protester... i.e. someone who has true anti-G8 beliefs is most likely not going to want to support Adidas. <br />
<br />
A beautiful illustration of why many in the mainstream don't trust or support certain protesters or their 'message'.<br />
<br />
Put your money where your mouth is. Globalisation is more likely to change by individuals changing their habits. <br />
<br />
A small illustration of this is the fact that one of the largest retail companies in the world has changed it's entire marketing and product developement strategy due to the publicity around child obesity (fearing a public backlash).<br />
<br />
And yet they don't give a t0ss if some "crusty" kicks in their window. <br />
<br />
A little perspective people. And a little consistency. Don't be a Guinness drinking vegetarian! <br />
<br />
personally i prefer nikehttp://www.indymedia.ie/article/80434#comment1809612007-01-05T16:43:55+00:00Yawn" someone who has true anti-G8 beliefs is most likely not going to want to suppo..." someone who has true anti-G8 beliefs is most likely not going to want to support Adidas."<br />

Communism isn't a consumer choice. <br />
<br />
"A beautiful illustration of why many in the mainstream don't trust or support certain protesters or their 'message'."<br />
<br />
Well done Dave. What a clear grasp you have of the situation. The main stream mean don't support anti-capitalism becuase some protesters wears adidas.<br />
<br />
"Put your money where your mouth is. Globalisation is more likely to change by individuals changing their habits."<br />
<br />
I agree with this one. People should get into the habit of collective action, self organisation, striking, fighting back and educating themselves. <br />
<br />
Or do you mean they should buy from an alternative shop?<br />
<br />
"A small illustration of this is the fact that one of the largest retail companies in the world has changed it's entire marketing and product developement strategy due to the publicity around child obesity (fearing a public backlash)."<br />
<br />
Yeah because they fear losing profits. Just goes to show how all our demands can be recuperated into Capitalism except our main one. Control over and our lives and the abolishment of exploitation.Badly madehttp://www.indymedia.ie/article/80434#comment1809622007-01-05T16:45:07+00:00JoeThe point is not only badly made but demonstrates a real dependency on the media...The point is not only badly made but demonstrates a real dependency on the media.<br />
<br />
We are not 'anti-globalisation' - that is a label invented by lazy journalists after Seattle. We are anti-capitalist both because capitalism is destroying our world and because it limits our choices to Niike V Addidas V Adbuster recuperation.OK then....http://www.indymedia.ie/article/80434#comment1809722007-01-05T17:53:58+00:00Dave"Communism isn't a consumer choice."
Yes, and ant-G8 is not pro-communism. What..."Communism isn't a consumer choice."<br />
<br />
Yes, and ant-G8 is not pro-communism. What's your point? <br />
<br />
"Well done Dave. What a clear grasp you have of the situation. The main stream mean don't support anti-capitalism becuase some protesters wears adidas."<br />
<br />
No, some people in the mainstream don't support PROTESTERS because of the PERCIEVED hipocracy (i.e. the "they are just messers / students / unemployed" view.) This picture re-enforces that perception. Better than putting him in sandals I suppose! <br />
<br />
"I agree with this one. People should get into the habit of collective action, self organisation, striking, fighting back and educating themselves."<br />
<br />
Agreed. <br />
<br />
"Or do you mean they should buy from an alternative shop?"<br />
<br />
Among other things. Although maybe they believe adidas is an ethically OK company? Perhaps... I suppose I don't know. <br />
<br />
"Yeah because they fear losing profits. Just goes to show how all our demands can be recuperated into Capitalism except our main one. Control over and our lives and the abolishment of exploitation."<br />
<br />
Bang on - as I said "fearing publich backlash"... they saw the wind blowing and they changed. The point I'm making is that they have NOT changed as a result being percieved as a public symbol of capitalism and the negative aspects of globalisation. One guy makes a movie and BANG - it's salads and nutrition infomation ahoy. <br />
