Subject: This Gandhi Poster Issue


You know, it seems to me that this whole issue about the Gandhi poster is
a test: to see if the anarchist movement has an internal
democracy/concensus aspect that actualy works, or if it is a diffuse group
of people who simply "do whatever they want, and say fuck you to anyone
who opposes them".  I think that if people talk and decide this poster was
in bad taste, and actualy stop using it, that will show that our movement
as a whole has some kind of ethics it stands for, as well as a willingness
to listen to its members and reconsider actions. In the other case it's
just a mess and when we make mistakes they will be a disaster, because
there will be now way to stop perpetuating them.
