Not only that but the coalition they've built as well. A lot of students and young people, street fighters with ties to small fash orgs, neoliberal pro-US politicians and businesses who feel locked out of the state's networks. Mix of legitimate grievances of police brutality, corruption, and economic mismanagement solved with a programme of overthrowing the government and allowing aforementioned pro-US politicians to fill the political vacuum, business interests with a penchant for privatisation to fill the economic vacuum and the small emboldened fash groups to fill the vacuum on the streets. There's a lot of differences ofc (no socialist rhetoric from Yanukovych or commune movement in Ukraine) but plenty of similarities too.

I mean, I guess, but black bloccers aren't just disaffected youths though? They're dyed in the wool anarchists, experienced activists who do this thing enough to buy the flag for it. They wouldn't want to call themselves it, but whether they like it or not they're in the vanguard of that movement and have a responsibility to have more of a political strategy outside symbolic anger. What if the FLN in Algeria had no political strategy outside make total destroy? Did they pick their targets at random? Idk man I'd just rather it was the big barricades people were building in DC that was on the news rather than some guy knocking over a bin.
