The Communists Are Coming!

Good morning, and welcome to G20 day and the anarchy that surrounds it. I'm The Nameless Libertarian, and I'll be live-blogging all the action as it happens, across Britain's Capital, today. All out riot or damp squib, I'll be here, bringing you the details minute by minute.

No, of course I won't really be live-blogging the bunch of guff that happens today. Partly because I suspect nothing will happen, but mainly because I have a job* and therefore don't have the time to waste on such things.

Still, the potential protests have had one great advantage. I'm able to come to work in dress down today. Fucking ace. God bless the hippies. Trixy wouldn't approve, and I'm not sure - given the massive police presence around and about today** - it is actually needed, but fuck it. I'll warmly embrace any opportunity for me not to have to wear a fucking suit.

However, one thing is worth pointing out today. That is what the protestors aren't. They aren't Communists - Marxism has little time for protest, seeing it as ultimately pointless and doing nothing to progress or hinder dialectical materialism and the inevitable revolution. They aren't anti-captialist - their fucking Che t-shirts are mass produced by capitalists. They aren't pacifists - that tag will die as soon as the first brick and/or punch is thrown.

If they are anything, then they are nihilists. They don't believe in anything. They don't have anything to fight for, they don't really believe in anything. They are just against *stuff*.

Many people accuse Libertarians of being negative, and having nothing to offer. They are, of course, morons. Libertarianism is the most liberating of all political ideologies, and offers a true, radical change for the world. These protestors are the ones who are just negative and have nothing to offer. They are against capitalism, they are against war, they are against climate change. And they have nothing to offer, except their impotent, ill-thought through rage.

Fuck 'em***.

*For the moment (crosses fingers)
**25 police vans parked on one street this morning on my route to work. 25. And not one of them was parked properly.
***Not literally, they won't have washed in ages.
