Elitist anti-war actions continue

Having learned nothing from the apocalyptic consequences of the irresponsible, misguided and musical solo run of the GNAW action on Saturday, another group has foolishly decided to utilize a tactic which is not MASS MOBILISATION. Theatre splits the movement.

Though they claim to be linked to theatrical groups in other countries, the organiser of the Lysistrata reading will surely see lower numbers than the 150 million who marched through the streets of Dublin behind the true and only leaders of the anti-war movement.

This will represent a huge setback for the anti-war movement in Ireland as the government will be laughing the splits that have been caused by the elite actions of a few who fetishise culture and do not understand that the time is not right for culture or 'theatre' as they call it.

They have also shown their tactical naivety by publicly announcing their plans to read from Lysistrata, as this will allow the force of evil to prepare - I would only support this type of anti-war action if nobody heard about it. And probably not then. Read the link for more details on this foolish action which we must condemn loudly and throughout the media before it splits the movement.
