You cannot blow up a social relationship.
In this case its a lesson that continues to be lost on anarcho-punk animal rights activist Darren Thurston, who boiled lobsters alive in Edmonton in order to free them, moved to Vancouver where he then worked on Saving Bears, by allegedly sending bombs to pro hunting organizations.
Today he sits in a jail cell in Oregon for having fire bombed a corral filled with wild horses and mules. As with most of Thurstons actions this one too failed. But it could have been a disaster, killing the very animals they wanted to free.
When will these idiots ever learn.They aren't anarchists they are an infantile caricature of anarchism.
But of course there are those idiots who consider them political prisoners, instead of the juvenile delinquints they really are. Seriously folks you would think this guy would realize that bombs do not a message make. But they are great for making self appointed martyrs.
I knew Darren in Edmonton , and I argued against his tactics since he refused to accept, that you do not engage in armed struggle when you should build a mass movement. Instead he and his fellow martyr David Barabash decided to engage in armed struggle, for their own selfish ends. And they claim to be anarchists. Which they ARE NOT.
Those in the anarchist movement who continue to mistakenly support these twits in the ALF do a disservice to anarchism and real political prisoners.
