 Please explain the strategy to me. The way I interpret the strategy of
 engaging in vandalism as part of a largely non-violent demonstration is
 that it is intended to further radicalise those demonstrators by provoking
 vicious reprisals from the authorities. No doubt it does serve to open
 their eyes, but if the cost is to further alienate them from the great
 majority of people, the price of recruiting a few more people into the
 extreme "radical anti-capitalist" movement is too high. Because it is
 counter-productive in the long run. >>
