"MILITANT APEC protesters are secretly plotting an outbreak of violence for
US President George W. Bush’s arrival in Sydney tomorrow, distributing a
rioter’s training manual on how to wear gas masks, confront police and even
evade fares. The clandestine anarchist action, six weeks in the making, has been
dubbed “FLARE in the void” and is described as an “Anti-APEC counter
convergence”."
Modern anarchy is inherently violent and anti-democratic. Laws are an expression of the will of the collective. Sometimes the people change before the laws change, which means that it is the job of the people to go not to the streets to change the laws. The role of people in the people in a democratic system is to vote for leaders that reflect the changes in the population, to change the laws. The inherently violent and anti-democratic voice of anarchy is that they don't have to follow the laws - they don't have to abide by the collective will of the community. They create change not through discussion, but violence, because they don't believe in discussion.
