Chicago SDS: Join the "Imperialist" Bloc for Oct. 27 in Chicago
Tired of boring old political rallies with overly moderate speakers? The Imperialist Bloc wants you! As an anti-imperialist organization, SDS was distressed to learn that an "anti-imperialist bloc" was unwelcome for the most part by the Chicago O27 organizers.
Tired of boring old political rallies with overly moderate speakers? The Imperialist Bloc wants you! As an anti-imperialist organization, SDS was distressed to learn that an "anti-imperialist bloc" was unwelcome for the most part by the Chicago O27 organizers.
Therefore, we have called for the assembly of a creative bloc of individuals to make an "imperialist bloc" instead, one that prides itself on its brute force and corporate interests. The Imperialist Bloc will march with the student feeder bloc, but by no means would we want this to be a student-only event. We welcome all activists fed up with politics as usual, students or otherwise, to dress as their favorite warmakers, including, but not limited to: kings and queens, CEOs, generals, and, of course, politicians of all stripes (NOTE: the Imperialist Bloc is non-partisan, therefore all Presidential candidates or facsimiles thereof are welcome to perticipate). On Oct 27th, Join the Imperialist Bloc and student feeder march! Join Chicagoland students and veteran activists as we resist U.S. imperialism in Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine,and Iran! Dress as your favorite warmaker, general, politician, CEO, or other imperialist and meet us at: 1 pm, Army Career Center at the University Center dorms (525 S. State St.) See you in the streets!
