You all are just talking about *ground* offensives. By your standard we had no offensives in Iraq either. The fact that the NVA and the guerilla army were still able to kick the US Army's ass in _high_style_ in the face of insane military, civilian and infrastructure damage is a tribute purely to the conquest of ideology over technology. � From mute@yabbs Mon Nov 9 01:43:42 1992 From: mute@yabbs To: ziplock@yabbs Subject: re: @ & econ Date: Mon Nov 9 01:43:42 1992 If I remember correctly, the NVA did not kick the US army in high style.

I don't know what the ratios were, but it was more than 1 NVA:1 US. Hmm, well guess it depends on how you consider "high style". I certainly agree they suffered massive casualties. Total losses for the Vietnamese population (not NVA, necessarily -- including civilians) have been estimated between one and three million dead. Naturally our 50,000 don't really compare to that. On the other hand, they won against really incredible odds, using mostly weapons that they stole from their enemies, without air support or chemical warfare, both of which were heavily used by their opponents. They furthermore defeated not one but two foreign armies -- ours and the French before us. I consider that quite a victory. � From kapt-k@yabbs Wed Nov 18 14:47:32 1992 From: kapt-k@yabbs To: all@yabbs Subject: boosh Date: Wed Nov 18 14:47:32 1992 Imagine what it would be like to be president. Wouldn't it suck? Getting put in a room with a few agents to get your asshole and other cavities searched before doing ANYTHING? Before going on TV, rehearsing every single move you're going to make, every word, evrything. The president is a neurotic fiend. I saw him on TV the other day, escorting his wife onto a plane. He was wearing a suit that looked like retirement clothes since he lost the race. He held out his hand as a gesture of letting Barbara get on the plane first. Then he followed her in. That took about 30 seconds. It probably took about 3 hours to prepare and rehearse in a little room. It's sick.

How about those Russian pilots that ended up in Vietnam, How did they get there? Bombing is not considered part of offensice actions. It's what is called Strategic warfare where the object is to destroy factories, population centers, and fixed military targets. Offensive actions involve pushing back armies and capturing targest and masses of land.

Yes, it can be hard to decipher who is who, but that doesn't give anyone the right to just kill people because they are with military personel.

The problem is defining what a "real" anarchist is since they always attempt to defy definition by any means at their disposal.

Well the IWW (Wobblies) are quite well known among unionists, which is a pretty big chunk of people, and when people say "The Communist Party" they are usually thinking about the CPUSA, which was the main target of the House Unamerican Activitees Committee investigations spurred on by Joe McCarthy in the '50s. As it turns out, the CPUSA wiggled out of a lot of charges regarding foreign contacts (with the Soviet Union) when many of those we have now found out were true -- the CPUSA got a lot of money from the Soviets, though not very recently. All that got uncovered after the Soviet government collapsed and all sorts of records were made public. � From ziplock@yabbs Wed Dec 16 21:43:27 1992 From: ziplock@yabbs To: all@yabbs Subject: gathering Date: Wed Dec 16 21:43:27 1992 From bbrigade@world.std.com Wed Dec 16 21:28:13 1992 MID-ATLANTIC REGIONAL ANARCHIST GATHERING 1993 P.O.

The only thing that ensures the Mayor power over his people now is a judicial system which allows him to punish people who break laws. If that judicial system were destroyed, he wouldn't have any more power. I think power would fall into the hands of people who could enforce their beliefs by beating others down... Then they'd become mercenaries, who would be hired to protect individuals' private property in return for the sharing of the property... In effect, the mercenaries would become lords (because they'd control part of the land) under a king (the landowner who hired them all). Then, I suppose, the mercenaries would grant land to people in return for their working the land that the mercenaries were hired to protec (in NY, I guess the mercenaries would hire people to clean the streets, etc) Now is that monarchy? feudalism? both? -Boo From ziplock@yabbs Sun Feb 14 23:05:57 1993 From: ziplock@yabbs To: optick@yabbs Subject: re: Mailing list Date: Sun Feb 14 23:05:57 1993 In message re: Mailing list, optick said: > AH!

They will be nearly the first ones executed or murdered. People would soon be breaking up into small groups or roaming bands of nomads. Strong leaders will eventually pop up and pull the people together. It will not be a hard task pulling people together with terror-filled images of murderous nomadic bands, starvation, and other such things lingering in the back of their minds. Soon enough those leaders would be laying claim to land which is to be farmed and lived on. The people will rely heavily upon the knowledge, strength, and wisdom of their leader. And that leader will eventually appoint an hier to replace him when he is gone (most likely a good friend or family member). As these groups grow larger, the leaders will see the need for more farmland and living space and it t(will eventually lead to land aquisition from neighboring groups through means of either conquest or negotiations. And no one can control that age old hunger for power. soon you have one group that will formulate into one big group that soon becomes quite a major Kingdom or Empire. Thus you have Feudalism and Monarchy, Buddha. If the government collapses tommorow (And I believe it's going to happen), the inevitable results are going to be feudalism & Monarchy.

Date: Wed Feb 17 19:22:39 1993 I'm a little unclear by what you all mean by a "collapse" of the Amerikan gov't. From the previous posts, I'm assuming you mean that D.C., the Pentagon, and all government offices nation-wide just up and disappear, as if by magic. (And all the people associated with them, of course.) The aftermath of such a disappearance wouldn't be nearly as dramatic as you're all describing anyway -- the grab for power and land would come from overseas, and have little to do with home-grown revolutions. After all, they have the big guns and know how to use them. If, say, the political branches of government would up and go away, then we'd be under military control overnight.... and, if for some reason, ALL governments and militaries vanished, our fate would lie in the hands of the national and multinational conglomorates. Anyways... the point I'm getting at is that the aftermath of the collapse depends highly on the nature of the collapse itself. And I doubt if the government came to an end, many people would really notice. They're too busy watching TV.

The main thing about monarchies of the past was that religion played a key part. I am not sure if it would in the future or not. However it may turn out you can be best assured the end results will be more intense than the last. It may go so far as to where power is always inherited in a darwinistic manner (survival of the fittest) where power is acheived through domination and the removal of foes. America just hasn reached the era in her history yet (I believe), But I think that it may be inevitable. I really would not call it Monarchism, I tend to lean toward centralism acheived by divine right, or at least it will develop that way.

The problem with socialism is it lives by the fantasy that ALL people are equals and/or the working class are the ones that should be embodiment of power, and success should be punished with burden. In socialism there is no individualism, there is only collectivism. I used to be a Socialist, But not long ago I stood before other fellow Socialists and denounced Socialism (and socialist!), and renounced my Socialism. Why did I do this? The answer to that is quite simple, It has become quite clear that the Socialist Movement(s) have been identifying itself more and more with other radical left-wing groups that I have a great hatred for! Those left-wing groups being Liberals, Homosexuals, Feminists, Marxists, Other Socialist groups, Democrats, Cultural Awarness organizations, and enviromentalist! (Quite a liest eh?) I might add I was quite sick and tired of left-wing politics altogether, It is turning into one big cesspool of class-envy and criticism. Just ask any socialist today, they are all blinded by class-envy and criticism of the right, you can't have a political conversation with a Socialist without Class-Envy or Criticism popping up somewhere in there.

What I mean by an abrupt end here in the U.S. would be more like the end of the Republic in Rome. ie; Some great disaster or Assination that would would split the people so badly that riots would a break out, and eventually lead to armed conflict. State militias and the army might split and in the end, the government as we know it would die and the declaration of an Imperator would take place.

It's been the ignorant follies of the Nazi party and the KKK that have given the Fascists a bad reputation. Most right-wing groups should make it a goal to alienate such groups as White-Supremascist, Nazis, and the KKK and work toward the decline and dissolution of them.

SAnd sure enough YOU made the comment about about my intelligence when you felt your ego threatend. It's quite typical, Liberals always tend to be hypocritical. Typical hypocrites you wonder? Well let's take one; Enviromentalist, They are so fanatical about saving trees to make this world a better place to are so fanatical about saving trees (to make this such a wonderful world to live in), that they are willing to drive spilkes into trees which will (and has) end up killing some innocent lumber worker who is just trying to make a living to feed his family and get by. We need fascism to do away with such fanatics who would risk the lives of people just to save a lump of wood! FASCISM Let enlighten you here Buddha, It's easy to see you are only familar with the old Webster definition of fascism. Fascism is Nationalism in the highest degree, Fascist regimes seek isolation of their borders which means no immigrant. (ie; America is for Americans only, No outsiders allowed in), Fascism uses brutality to enforce law in some regimes. But is that bad? I could form the Amercian Fascist Movement tommorow and it could include people of all colors (Black,White,Oriental) and it's purpose would would be anti-immigration and the promotion of American values only, which means all those (foriegnors) living here now would have to abandon their non-American cultures and accept the American culture. The assumption that fascism has to be racially motivated is another liberal (and left-wing) assumption. Why is that??? Because the liberals and left-wing groups promote the most racist policy of them all; Multi-Culturalism.

Hacking, phreaking, and generally ANY form of liberty which could undermine CAPITALI$M would be eliminated by fascist control. The government intends to defend the $$$ which keeps it powerful, hacking and phreaking make that $$$ unsafe, and if they could, they'd crack down. Fascism would give them that chance.

Obviously he had never really thought about anarchy and decided to put it into a category with all of his negative emotions - hate, anger revenge, etc. I infromed him that the true anarchist (in my opinion) is one who is dedicated to overthrowing the status quo and create a new structure based on the concepts of responsibility and personal freedom. We had an interesting chat, since even after I told him my viewpoint he continued on ranting about how he was "gonna blow this guy to Hell and back" with his homemade explosives because the guy in question insulted his girlfriend.

No warrant, no REASON to arrest me, no response to the fact that I told them several times NOT to come into my home, nothing except a good old bump/cut on my head where theyrammed it inot the sidewalk and arrest charges! Assholes! As for my lawyer, he got them to chance it to disorderly conduct and told me to accept that because there was no way I get off in a trial. Well, I did and I got fined $125.00 for it. I'really pissed that I did that becasue it's like admitting that I was wrong, when I know that I what I did wasn't wrong! But, I can't change it now. I'm really pissed at this whole society--it sucks, and ther's nohing I can do but go to Canada (amd probably get fucked ther too). And you're right, for someone who's supposed to be "protecting" me and convincing me to trust them and that I shouldn't commit suicde, thay sure did a bang up job!

Date: Tue Mar 30 20:14:07 1993 my band played a show at my former high school one night and some off-duty pigs were hired to act as security. well anyway during our set, the last of the night, a couple (a bunch) of friends decided to mosh it up, or closer to the truth act silly by dancing (strictly forbidden), well the gist of the story is one of my friends got a flashlight busted (literally) over his head, a maglight no less, and another got arrested for assaulting a pig when he shrugged one's hand off his shoulder. fucking stupid. not quite the same as your situation, but nevertheless a shining example of a fucking pig's stupidity. fredbiscuit From johndeer@yabbs Wed Mar 31 14:50:54 1993 From: johndeer@yabbs To: fredbisc@yabbs Subject: re: freedom???

Ok. Whenever I pass a metermaid on the street (Boston) I hum the theme to Dragnet. Because they are so /<-RaD writing tickets and such. Actually how about some useful information...all right...twice I got a parking ticket, which was totally my fault. I parked on the wrong side of the street when street cleaning was being done. $15 bucks or so. Ok now I mean tWICE this happened. Get this: both times I appealed the ticket (sent in a letter instead of a check) and I won both times. So if you get a parking ticket don't pay it. Appeal it...even if it WAS your fault, what is the worst they can do to you? Tell you are incorrect and tell you to pay up.
