For another thing, we didn't want to wind up in a default oppositional relationship to the NSM, where we are the yin to their yang, or whatever. And we like when we win, so we know the key is keeping it fresh and plugging in everyone's diffuse individual and collective creativity.

Those who wrung their hands about free speech, I think, never understood the terrain of battle. For us, this had nothing to do with free speech. And we didn't want to give the NSM what they were looking for, a moral victory in which they look like innocent victim, defender of free speech, and other nonsense. For one thing, when it came to IBB2 we knew the cops would have done their homework since last time, so we wanted at all costs not to fall into old habits. Despite deep and abiding hatred of the NSM, we in PCWC really debated about whether it was worth calling for a second manifestation for a variety of reasons.

I really feel invigorated by the broad uprising that Arizona anarchists have incited here.

It's hard to believe it's been only a year since our first face off with the NSM as the Inglourious Basterds Bloc. It's been a fucking hell of a year here in Phoenix and I suppose lilprole's article about his anti-Nazi adventures with us ( see below) is a good enough time to reflect a bit. First, an introduction from the Phoenix Class War Council:
