Press release 'Anarchists call for mass opposition to military parade'
Responding to last week's controversial decision by Belfast City Council to hold a 'civic reception' and military parade in November for returning troops from Iraq and Afghanistan.
Michael McGovern, spokesperson for the Belfast branch of the anarchist Workers Solidarity Movement states,
"This display and glorification of state terrorism at both home and abroad of rampant militarism of a deeply unpopular and brutal occupation resulting in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians should be vigorously opposed and prevented from taking place."
Furthermore, "It is also hypocritical of the main nationalist parties to oppose this parade considering their eagerness to wine and dine, and roll out the red carpet for their commander in chief George Bush and Tony Blair during their recent visit.”
In addition as anti-militarists, “this is a futile attempt to gloss over growing discontent within the army whenever morale and recruitment is at an all time low. We also call upon serving soldiers to disobey orders and refuse to be cannon fodder in the interests of imperialism, careerist politicians and generals."
No War, but the Class War!
