Radical Youth like to pose radical, but there is little there in the way of theory OR practice. They seem to attatch themselves to the hard work that other movements or groups or unions do without doing any of the work themselves, but want to cash in on the media. Their ideology is hopelessly divided between anarchism and socialism. Their magazine is lightweight, sloganinising propoganda.
Give them a few years and they'll all be in the Green Party or Labour. They are not dangerous- they seem content to hang out in a cooler than you punk ghetto. There are other more dangerous radical groups out there, but Radical Youth ain't one of them

I'm sure Omar will be gutted to hear that, media student.
Who do you think the really dangerous ones are?
This workshop is nothing more than child abuse on a large scale

Radical youth are giving lessons on Anarchism and capitalism? .. maybe I should change that to Anarcho-Capitalism... then it might be worth attending :-P
Is mad Nicky Hager involved in this group?
What he's done to Brash smacks of Agitprop and so does this anarchistic nonsense.
Hager is likely to be leading the organic gardening workshop. 'Organic gardening' is a creation of the international communist movement, designed to reduce capitalist profits by putting supermarkets and chemical companies out of business. I used to know some Workers Communist League members years ago and my mum is an organic gardener, so there you go - a smoking gun!
I'm partial to a bit of organic produce myself Sam.
Perhap's me, you and Jim Kebbell could get together for a bite of tofu one day?
You're really cool calling Trev a 'wanker' anon1!.
Keep it up, one day, when you grow up, you'll be a real anarchist!
EXOCET
What would you call him anon 2?
What other accurate description fits an otherwise healthy male who spends hours grubbing up every trivial detail of anyone even slightly liberal and posting same in cyberpsace with self righteopus wrath and quivering indignation.
For your information I think most anarchists are wankers too, but not in the same league as Trev. Every anarchist I know has at least a quarter of a life going.
And that is why you prefer to stay Anon, not a shred of dignity to accompany your lack of arguement.
I thought Hagers part in the organic gardening would be the part where he recycled all his own human waste, god knows he's recycling a lot of that lately! :)
Uncle Trev's web log is visited by an increasing amount of leftists for the reason that this is the place to get the juciest bites of realpolitik. What now follows is a radical dissection of how "radical" radical youth are.
Not much.
Hippie moralism inherited from wealthy Waihake island dwelling union bureaucrat parents. Vegan absolutism. Sneering righteousness that exhibits utter contempt for where ordinary pie eating, beer swilling working class Aucklanders live.
Loud mouth middle class brats who think
that publisihing a lame ass fanzine and pimping on other movements rides earn them a red and black star.
Pathetic.
This group will self destruct in five months. Four. Three. Two. One.

"Uncle Trev's web log is visited by an increasing amount of leftists for the reason that this is the place to get the juciest bites of realpolitik"
Or in my case I'm just nostalgic for good ol' Muldoon-era anti-communist hysteria. I get a giggle out of someone who genuinely believes the few pathetic left-over Marxists still active are a threat.
By the way, if your sneering ramble at Radical Youth is a 'dissection', I'd hate to see what you'd use to cut up a dead lab rat - a turnip perhaps?
Who's the biggest threat to capitalism in NZ Sam, you and your anarchist comrades or the socialists?
Go on Trevor, do an expose of us anarchists. SPA and the WCL are boring. do us instead.
some of us are feeling left out and we need a laugh.
