Anti-Racist-Action are a pack of
Commie vandals posing as heroes.
They claim to oppose racism, but their real purpose is to disrupt any
legal gathering, protest, or any objection to Leftist or Israeli
parades, marches, and events by instigating riots. They function
on a passive aggressive principle. When unable to provoke their
targetted opponents they throw things at the police, hoping to
instigate mass arrests and event-disrupting tear gassings. Then
they do an Indymedia reportback because they are, of course, friends
and acquaintances of IMC.
They pose as an unrelated and objective third party. This is
laughably incompatible with their profile and organizational beliefs:
ARA Profile and Beliefs:
ARA began as an antiracist skinhead organization but became a
gay-transformist race marxist club much like the Dead Kennedys.
They use the specter of racism as a hype to exert social control on
various public and private institutions and to excuse their idiotic
and destructive behavior. Like 1960's panhandling gone awry, this
is protest gone awry.
ARA hypocritically organize as anarcho-communists yet (like
Scientology) threaten lawsuits when described unfavorably by outsiders
or when their relationships to local communist bookstores are
reported. In this and in membership criteria and action they are
censorious.
When they are not stalking, they base their planning on information or
brokerage provided by racial defense groups such as Hatewatch, SWC,
ADL, SPLC, or Political Research Associates -- groups with an
intelligence agency dual function. *1(This
is referenced at the
end of the article.)
ARA is affiliated with the Revolutionary groups, ABCF, NEFAC, FRAC,
FNB, SPUSA, WWP
and also the individuals Rory McGowan (FRAC) and Mark Laskey (NEFAC).
Boston ARA's address was listed on the
http://www.antiracistaction.ca/network9172002.html as
Sabate Anarchist Collective
P.O. Box 230685
Boston, MA
02123, USA
Sabate36@juno.com
SAC (extinct) is comprised of its founder: Mark Laskey who runs NEFAC,
operates The Lucy Parsons Center, and has proprietary coverage by
Boston IMC's editorial collective.
ARA Structure:
ARA's structure is a campus-fed anarcho-communist club organized in
cells. These cells organize and start riots and author content
claiming to be an oppressed dissent group if not a minority group by
reason of their beliefs and ideals. They alternately bill themselves as
an "anti-fascist" organization, which means they are like Spartacus or
any militant communist group. They are communitarian in the gang
sense of the word, organizing mobs to flyer various towns in response
to perceived offenses which may -- but rarely do -- include the random
posting of a lone racist photocopy in town of no consequence.
The average ARA member and cell is anonymous, autonomous, cowardly
(brave only in a group), internationalist and anti-nationalist youth
oriented, violent, dependent upon Indymedia and on racist gatherings
for venue. They are not only reactive but preemptive. They
label events as racist or fascist whenever it is convenient or
necessary to generate an event or add themselves to the protest
rider. Their cells are secretive, paranoid, and exclusive.
Here is an example of a letter to a new prospective member:

Your request

Subscription request
has been
rejected by the list moderator. The moderator gave the following
reason for rejecting your request:
"this is a
closed list that is used for communicating information about or
pertaining to anti-fascist political prisoners and prisoners of
war. If you can prove who you are, and what A.R.A. collective that you are
affililiated with, then you can be added. sorry for the "assholeish"
nature of this, but sometime our work dictates a bit more security
consciousness."
Any
questions or comments should be directed to the list administrator at:
ara-support-owner@lists.mutualaid.org
ARA are:
--Confrontational and vigilantist.
--Communists who add homophobia, sexism, classism, McCarthyism and
capitalism to the ever-growing list of
race crimes.
ARAs like:
--books by Noel Ignatiev, Tim Wise, Ward Churchill
ARA do:
--Wear pretentious clothing and cry wolf like the Guardian Angels.
--Wear black masks to escape punishment for illegal activity. *2
--Disbelieve in privacy or freedom of speech for others.
--Engage in physical assault.
--Disturb legally held gatherings, thereby violating the First
Amendment.
--Make money selling rebellious stickers and hokey trinkets.
ARA have advocated:
--homosexual marriage
--illegally shutting down through physical interference all family
planning clinics that do not provide
abortions (ARA New Jersey) *3 (A federal
offense)
--banning "hate speech" by use of force and intimidation
--brainwashing university instructors by using ARA training and
screening programs
ARA have said things like:
--"We will be organizing in several different contingents with various
risk levels and levels of political
and tactical unity." (Michigan ARA)
http://michiganimc.org/newswire/display/136/index.php
ARA have engaged in:
--stalking
--bogus lawsuit threats
--picketing peoples' homes
--rioting
In conclusion, here is presented a description of ARA by a troll.
His joke is not wide of the mark:
What the ARA really is
by MTBB Thursday September 18, 2003 at 07:45 AM
The ARA is basically a group of cowardly, masked, unemployed,
uneducated, drug addicted street scumoid miscreants. They panhandle for
spare change so they can afford more drugs or alcohol for consumption
to help them forget of how useless they really are. If they do not make
enough money from begging that day, they dig through BFI garbage
dumpsters to search for leftovers of rats, mice, feces, and half eaten
fly infested food. They sleep in garbage bins also as its good to have
a food source close to where they live. They are against soap and water
and do not take baths as standing next to one of them can easily tell
this from the stink they give off. They wear many layers of clothing
even in the hot summer to hide their skinny bodies and needle marked
chicken bone arms. They only act tough in person when they outnumber
their opponents 10-1, and even then they run when confronted. The
everyday working person looks at them in digust and laughs at the very
sight of these pathetic losers.
Anti-racism is a cancerous creed. It's spiritual syphilis: It rots the
brain, and infects and decays the bones and organs of a thinking,
creative, healthy society. In the name of "tolerance" and "diversity",
all questioning, debate or dissent are gagged in an orgy of
intolerance. They smear what they fear! http://thunderbay.indymedia.org/news/2003/09/8698_comment.php
