Anarchists Plan Direct Action Against the DNC/RNC

As the country gets invested in the electoral politics and is forced by corporate rule to choose between 2 sell-out parties representing the ruling class, some Anarchists are planning to use this as an opportunity to protest capitalist globalism and demonstrate that another world is possible. Current debates include violence vs. non-violence, appropriate targets, and appropriate actions. I am personally sick of some of these conversations when neither advocates for property destruction nor non-violence are engaging in the consistent long-term strategies of protest that are necessary for real victories. It is not enough to engage a few days a year--we need the streets every day. But not only do we need the streets--we need strategies to help people in great need--we need systems networked together to replace the state and bring power back to the people. How to do it? That's what those of us who care have to figure out.
