World Can't Wait Gears up
LA Indymedia is reporting on the first of the World Can't Wait "actions" leading toward tonight's State of the Union address. Comments:
LA Indymedia is also coming under scrutiny for censoring posts for no apparent reason. It is less odious however than UK Indymedia as previously reported, and, to their credit they appear to acknowledge the problem and will investigate.
for those of you not aware the Revolutionary Communist Party, the fucking Maoists formly under the banner of Not In Our Name, are the ones funding and supporting this World Can't Wait parade through the streets of L.A. this is the same RCP who started the riot with the cops during the L.A.

You people have been "protesting" for 40 years, and STILL no one is paying attention. You have nothing of interest to say. You wave signs. You allow your events to be co-opted by the brain-dead morons from "black bloc", who only make you all look ridiculous. Ordinary people won't go near any of your events because you have degenerated into vandalism, violence, pointless confrontation, and nihilism. You have allowed yourselves to be duped by the RCP, WWP and their endless front groups. Sorry, but the rest of us are not interested in being tools. Perhaps some day, when you can move on past "Maosim" and "Marxism" and "Socialism", all dead idologies, you might have a point to make. As of now, you don't.
