Why the anger at the Spanish state? It is behaving just as states
usually behave, name a state that doesn't have its gangs of black clad
bully-boys with their padded shin guards, elbow pads, protective helmets
and long batons, backed up by another gang who have rubber bullets and
live ammunition? Name a state that hasn't used these thugs against its
own unarmed citizens? The Spanish state is just showing its true
colours, after all the sanctity of the state was being attacked by young
and elderly, armed with pencils and paper.
How often have we seen from a
multiplicity of media outlets and personal experience, this sort of
state behaviour across the globe, but somehow there is always shock and
horror when it happens. We should expect it, that's what the state's
armed thugs are there for, to make sure that the people know their
place, the citizens must behave as subservient sheep. Start to act
collectively to shape your society and you will always feel the wrath of
the state.
Instead of criticising the Spanish state we should be looking at
how to free our minds from the concept of a state, how to organise our
society by means of the people taking control and shaping their
communities, and society in general, to meet their needs and desires. As
long as we participate in the charade of representative democracy, with
its political parties, abdicating our own power to a handful of over
paid political ballerinas, with their vested interests, we will see
these scenes recur time and time again. Every time the people say the
have had enough, the state will come down with the full compliment of
its brute force apparatus. That's what it is there for, to keep you
accepting your servitude.
