Re: Alliance 2008 candidate list
Some very misguided people here.
The rest of you are just another bunch of middle class people thinking you understand the working class.
You dont.
Can any of you please explain how voting will help the working class/ poor of Aotearoa?
I know I should leave you fools to your beleifs but the problem there is when that happens you go along convincing the working class to give voting one more chance. That they must vote or they can be blamed for the mess that voting creates. Well we all know that taking part in the system is the problem not who you vote for. This bunch of misguided people and fools are just the same as anyone in the national party or any party asking for working class people to vote.
You seek to control us.
Some of us cant and wont be controled and work hard in our communitys to educate our people of the ways that we can go forward without people you lot.
Voting is not the solution but the problem.

Free distribution of smelly old clothes that noone wants?
Re: Alliance 2008 candidate list
Good to see you coming out of the woodwork with very silly comments like this.
"What, specifically, is this "hard work in communities" that will get the working class "going forward"?"
No sense in telling you middle class fools who's only answer is to vote vote and vote again. If I said what I really think of this sort of action I would be thrown off Indymedia. It is the likes of you all that keep the working class poor of money, as slaves to the rich. We might be poor of money we are not poor of ideas. So be very careful as you try to tell our people about the total usless excercise you call voting. It delivers not like the post person to all but only to those who made the system. A horrible system of control. As I said people. We are not poor in intelligence.
If you vote you can be blame for the mess it causes and the many deaths of poor people.
Re: Alliance 2008 candidate list
Taking twenty minutes out of your busy calendar - I know all anarchists spend almost 22 hours a day "organising the working class" and another hour telling us how "they wont be controlled". Some of us find that the main problem in political life is not finding time but fiding some way to connect to the rest of the working class and convince them of the need for change. The barrier is not so much the credibility of bourgeois democracy in the eyes of the workers, but the lack of credibility that the left has.
Your mommy and daddy love you really. Ring them and sort it out. After that, have a serious think about twenty minutes that can maybe stop John Key from being your PM. Clark's not that much better. Thats where all your good work comes in. Lets get some respectability so that next time, we have a better option than voting!

Re: Alliance 2008 candidate list
Much as I detest the class-baiting that often passes for debate on this site, I have to say, this comment *definitely* reveals it's writer as a middle-class poser. If you'd ever been cold, or hungry, you might realize the value of being able to get clothes and food without paying (or having to deal with patronizing christians).
