Blocade All Power! International Call For Solidarity With Egyptian Anarchists & Those Fighting For Total Freedom

The Egyptian state has declared the black bloc illegal, to be hunted down, beaten and arrested_____
We ask state and capital for nothing, their tyranny will never mean freedom____
Every single person on this planet who struggles is a friend____
On February 6th, our solidarity equals strength.

Thanks for getting this out
Thanks for getting this out there. Hopefully friends worldwide will take up this call and organize solidarity actions. I can't think of the last time I felt solidarity action made sense other than now. I suppose that is the nature of the changing game.

I honestly don't see an issue
I honestly don't see an issue with this black bloc campaign, not at all because I am an anglo american and clearly we are involved in some capacity. What troubles me is after the Muslim britherhood is deposed, if we will be able to control this force we are unleashing or will it become another al qaeda in anarchist garb.
Not really sure how to
Not really sure how to respond to this, I think the best way would be to point out that the extreme fundamentalists in Egypt have already announced opposition to the black bloc with a "white bloc." So, essentially they have differentiated themselves already.
That said, our anarchist comrades are being attacked either way, those who are fighting for freedom in Egypt are under attack in general. This seems to say, "lets show them support."
Funny, that's what the CIA
Funny, that's what the CIA said when they created Al Qaeda in the first place.

uh... what the fuck? I think you're confused...
Yeah ... that was 6 or 7
Yeah ... that was 6 or 7 different kinds of racist and fucked up ...

TV interview with the black bloc! I so wish this had subtitles:

A few days ago, there was a
A few days ago, there was a call on this site against NATO support for the Syrian rebels. Now, its a call for anarchist support of Egyptian rebels. What happens if NATO decides to ship the Egyptian rebels some hardware? This site can be full of ambiguities. Maybe one should accomodate ones self to the idea that its okay for insurgents to accept outside aid.
what's up with the people in
what's up with the people in this thread who haven't been paying attention to what this is about? Have you not noticed the 1000+ news reports and 4 articles on this site giving this call some background?
So... The ambiguity you speak
So... The ambiguity you speak of is caused by a hypothetical situation that isn't actually informed by the context of this call-out. It's actually a false dichotomy. Let's talk about organizing public anarchist responses to actual events, not hypothetical ones, OK? So as of right now, NATO isn't supporting Egyptian anarchists! That'll be the day, right comrades?!
NATO teal/blue colored
NATO teal/blue colored slingshots
And if the Egyptians were
And if the Egyptians were getting any outside support, wouldn't it necessarily be kept as covert as possible? My point, however, is that it is contradictory to support insurgents in Egypt, but not in Syria.
The US has backed Morsi and
The US has backed Morsi and the MB from the moment it became apparent that Mubarak had to go. Stratfor even ran a front-page headline cautioning investors not to worry, because the revolution in Egypt wasn't a real revolution, so much as a cosmetic makeover (one figurehead down, another in his place, the US-backed Egyptian military & business elite still in the driver's seat). So, to address your hypothetical, no the US and NATO are not backing Egyptian anarchists, they are backing the police and military who are killing Egyptian anarchists.
As for your initial point about ambiguity: of course. Politics is complicated. It always has been, and always will be, full of contradictions and hypocrisies.
That is true. But why decline
That is true. But why decline support for Syrian insurgents merely because they do get at least some material aid from NATO???
What kind of Egyptian rebels?
What kind of Egyptian rebels? The antiauthoritarian ones? Because I'm sure NATO won't send help to them.
What makes the Egyptian
What makes the Egyptian pemdeserving of support than the Syrian people?
"What happens if NATO decides
"What happens if NATO decides to ship the Egyptian rebels some hardware?"
Considering we're talking about anarchist, that has got to be the stupidest thing I have ever read. Just look at history, what would become nato didn't give the @'s in spain weapons, nor did the fuckin' reds in russia, who were suppose to be fighting on the same side. Instead the would be nato-nites funded franco just like they would fund the brotherhood over team @ any day of the week. As we know, the US has no problem equipping religious fundamentalist, but they will never fund the means to their own end, because sadly their not that stupid.
The bolsheviks fighting on
The bolsheviks fighting on the same side as anarchists? Nato-nites? What?
And yeah, NATO is not going to help the antiautoritarian rebels.
If it means getting rid of
If it means getting rid of the Assad regime in Syria, or the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, they just might. Anyhow, if I were a Syrian, or Egyptian rebel, I wouldn't be looking any would-be gift horse too closely in the mouth. Modern infantry, anti-armor, and anti-aircraft weapons sure beat rocks and bottles!
No ... they won't. Here's a
No ... they won't. Here's a screen-name I've seen posting stupid shit on multiple occasions now ...
"The bolsheviks fighting on
"The bolsheviks fighting on the same side as anarchists? Nato-nites? What?"
He/she is referencing the Republican side of the Spanish Civil War, which the anarchist CNT/FAI were on. The authoritarian elements of the Republican side were primarily armed and supported by the USSR, which betrayed the anarchists in the notorious events of May '37 in Barcelona.
Duhhhhh! NATO didn't exist
Duhhhhh! NATO didn't exist during the Spanish Civil War. But the French gave the Republican side alot of arms. As did the USSR. And neither anarchists or Marxists in the French Resistance, during WWII would not have been complaining when the Brits or the Americans parachuted arms cannisters to them. Any armed conflict can breed strange bedfellows.
"the French gave the

We could have delivered arms
We could have delivered arms to the Spanish Government [Republicans], a legitimate government...We have not done so, in order not to give an excuse to those who would be tempted to send arms to the rebels [Nationalists]. Blum, 1936.
"But the French gave the
"But the French gave the Republican side alot of arms."
No, they didn't. I think there were some very minor shipments of light aircraft in the opening months of the conflict, but other than that the French refused to arm the Republicans.
Why are people thinking that
Why are people thinking that the Special Activities Division or the like would give weapons and training to a few hundred antiauthoritarian rioters? Seriously, what the hell.
No one is saying that. but
No one is saying that. but what if they? Should an anarchist insurgent decline the aid? That is the question.
That question is so abstract
That question is so abstract as to be meaningless. In practice, aid is always given with an agenda. In situations like these, "the rebels" are never a homogeneous force, and foreign states will always give aid to those elements who they think are closest to their interests. As with the USSR arming the Spanish Stalinists in 1936, so with the US backing those elements who they think are most likely to become pliable dictators in Libya and Syria today. Aid from foreign states will always end up in the hands of people who want to crush anarchists, pretending otherwise is as useless as asking "But what if Makhno came back to life and offered the black bloc a nuclear bomb?"

It's probably a bad idea to do this because the Egyptians have not yet destroyed the pyramids and as was prophecized by the Anarchist "International" we will "not win" until they do this.
