anarchie!!

To me, this pic has nothing to do with anarchie. Nore do I think it’s a very useful tactic to reverse cars.
Though I think that when we get to anarchy, people will upturn their own cars since the only use for it will be as a barricade. 

I do not want to have spent my life only giving half of my best to everything I do. I want to die knowing that I really lived. I want to leave a lasting impression on others. I resolve to live, and know that I did it with passion.

¡No pasarán! No passaran!

By Anja Hermans

The essential fact about a totalitarian regime is that it has no laws. People are not punished for specific offences, but because they are considered to be politically or intellectually undesirable. What they have done or not done is irrelevant.

George Orwell, writing in The Observer 24 December 1944

The people who write pamphlets against us and vilified us in the newspapers all remained safe at home, or at worst in the newspaper offices hundreds of miles from the bullets and the mud.

George Orwell – Hommage to Catalonia (p. 214)

Talking about the communist propaganda against the Trotskyist POUM he was fighting with in the Spanish Civil War. Sounds to me the like the negative comments you read on Indymedia etc. nowadays by “keyboard activists”.
