Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8ok so its really good to see some shit happening in dublin and theres some good vibes in evidence here:
but throwing some soil on a road with a few scabby plants is not guerilla gardening: true its what happened in mayday 2000 in london but everyone admitted it was shite and a waste of time: a few years on if the best we can do is copy a failed action were not really doing anything are we????
guerrilla gardening is about growing food on disused land and opening community gardens for the peeps!
still respect to all who were there buts its not enough just to do "something":
tactics (they call it tactics)
la lucha sigue
Symbolic Gardening it was, the seed never had a chance to grow!
However other seeds were planted around dublin so watch out for a public crop in Sept.
dESPITE THE OBVIOUS PROBLEMS IN SOCIETY i WOULD TAKE MY CHANCES WITH THE ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURES WE HAVE RATHER THAN ANYTHING YOU MAY OFFER. iF YOUR GROUP HAD ANY REAL POWER WE WOULD NOT HAVE ANY STREETS TO RECLAIM.
iT TAKES MONEY AND WORK TO MAKE THINGS IN THIS WORLD - yOUR ACCESS AND MANIPULATION OF THE INTERNET PROVE JUST HOW MATERIALISTIC YOU ARE.
pEOPLE DRIVE CARS - PARKS COST MONEY YOUR ARGUMENTS ARE SIMPLISTIC AND NAIVE - COP ON AND STOP SPENDING DADIES MONEY AND GET A JOB LIKE EVERYONE ELSE.
Your right, all these socialist scum havent got a clue how to run a country but are just spoilt little cunts who are complaining about their prosperous lives.
WHAT DID YOU DO THAT WAS SO GOOD? THAT YOU FEEL YOU CAN BITCH AT OTHER PEOPLE FOR TRYING?
KEEP GARDENING!
Not Everyone agreed................
as for the growing up and getting a job, what a tired old argument...didnt work then wont work now
Start small, work up, pace ourselves and then let it rip!!! Watch this space, the gardening's just getting going. Kudos to whoever brought the mary-jane plant, i couldn't get my hands on one for love nor money so had to settle for pansies and such. Not I might add, a "few scabby plants". The response we received as we hastily planted up our patch from the party-goers was phenomenal, I was freaked that the garden would be trashed straight away & I'd be nicked but imagine looking up as hundreds of smiling cheering faces egg you on and rush down to the music.
It was a fantastic experience and of course it will only get bigger and better, we don't really need alot of smug "I was there in London blah blah.. " remarks and what we should've done etc. The imagination cogs are grinding away and I have every faith that with time we can replace the grime and litter the Irish are so comfortable with on our streets with flowers and fresh bloody air.
Sinda, I think you are missing the point slightly love, there is no "group" looking for "real power". no shit it takes money to make things work and why do you limit yourself by buying into stereotypes? This isn't a bunch of Daddy's money types running amok. You do yourself as well as others a disservice by misrepresentation and obviously not looking at the bigger picture. It's a shame because ultimately you just come across as being especially ignorant and narrowminded. The "organisational structures we have" which you are so found of happen to exist because people picketed, went on strike marched in protest. How quickly we forget in our oppulence.
I love my job by the way, cheers.
Richie who said anything about running the country?
Point Richie
I, on the other hand, *do* know what it takes to run a country. What Im wondering about is how to make a revolution, in the true meaning of the word, a turning of the wheel of time, so that we dont all end up back at the animal stage, the hive-mind stage again.
For those of you in Ireland, Id recommend the MONEY = SATAN poster campaign. Play the religious unease card, make posters without any name on them. When the business leaders of Norway were gathered here with the head of WTO, we entered the hotel and put up posters with his photo, 666 put on his forehead, and the text MURDERER below, nothing more, inside some of the hotels toilets. The same posters we had put up all arounf the hotel the day in advance. Simple action, but good symbolic. They all talked about it, even made the news.
Tactic I agree on, but symbolism is a strong tool.
Fair play to the Garda's they did well .
