calling all ANARCHISTS!!!

Calling all Anarchists,

JAN 31 -- During Bush's State of (Emergency!!!) the Union speech: come out to Union Square

5:00 -- Rally with speakers
6:00 -- We drown out Bush's lies with a cacophany of sound (bring drums, noisemakers, pots and pans, etc)
7:00 -- Regime Change in the USA: We topple a 35 ft. statue of Bush!


This is not an official World Can't Wait email, but an invitation from someone sympathetic to the concerns of many anarchists who thinks it's really fuckin important for you guys to be out in the streets this coming Tuesday Jan 31. We are at a pivotal historical moment. The Bush regime is setting out to radically remake society very quickly, in a fascist way, and for generations to come. We cannot sit by, passively content with business as usual, or even "protest as usual" while the Christian fascists and the Neocon agenda moves farther along... while the reactionary fringe becomes the new normalcy. This IS what is happening, as the democrats seek common ground barely able to contain the anger of their increasingly discontent base. The World Can't Wait will be out confronting these fascists everywhere we can. That's why we barged into John Yoo's (War Criminal -- responsible for legalizing torture) class at UC Berkeley dressed in orange Guantanamo jumpsuits and told him to he was responsible for this. That's why we were out confronting the anti-abortion stormtroopers recently, and (along with some anarchists, I think) attempted to stop their "walk for life [sic]". That's why last Nov. 2 we organized the biggest high school walkout in decades -- over 200 highschools walked out nationwide defying barbed wire lock-downs, suspension and truancy threats. We will not stop until Bush is driven out and everything his regime represents is repudiated. Imagine the recent upsurges that toppled regimes in Bolivia, Argentina, and the Ukraine, imagine France in 1968. During this uplifting process, in which the people take independent historical action and begin to feel their own strength, we can discuss what comes next: anarchism, democrats, greens, communism, or something else...

WCW is not a "vanguard party" -- it is a new organization seeking to build a mass movement around (our basis of unity) driving out a hated regime and reversing the overall direction that this country has been heading in for a long time. In our permit battle for Nov. 2, as well as union square, we have been asked to "disinvite" the anarchists. Of course we said HELL NO! Your righteous anger is needed now more than ever!
