of anarchy...
here is something interesting in light of the recent death of the pope.
this is some pretty radical shit people, i warn you it may offend.
personally i agree with the stance it takes against the catholic church but i have respect for the fact that a human being died what i imagine to be a fairly painful death...

A man is dead. We anarchists love life and we can't dislike that.Especially for the unspeakable cruelty of an agony indecently exhibitedon the world by the ecclesiastical hierarchy. Anyway, this day that seesall politicians, from Fausto Bertinotti [PRC] to Alessandra Mussolini[ex-AN, "neo-fascists"], bow down in front of the "throne of Peter" wewant to remember the man who was at the head of an absolute monarchydistinguished for centuries in its barbarity. The church that hasperpetuated and blessed the massacre of millions and millions of men andwomen, tortured, burned, killed in the name of the cross isn't the memoryof a now disowned past, but found in Wojtila, its deserving descendent.
Karol Wojtila, for 27 years, has made a name for his reactionarychoices.
Karol Wojtila has been responsible for the diffusion of AIDS inAfrica, where the publicity and the use of condoms could havesaved millions of people from the illness, among which were lots of children.
Karol Wojtila gave cover for dictatorships, the torturer and ChileanAssassin Augusto Pinochet, who shook hands during his trip to thetortured south american country, in whose prisons thousands frompolitical opposition have been tormented. Not a word for the victimsbut only the benediction for the executioner and his family.
Karol Wojtila has dressed in sheep's clothing and that of the wolfaccording to the interests of the organization of which he wassovereign. The left sing hymns for his pacifism in Iraq, but forgetthat he sustained and justified the war that bloodied ex-Yugoslavia.With the catholic cross, against muslims and the orthodox, thepope of religious "ecumenicism" made a saint of Stepinac, thecardinal who with the croatian fascists that lined up with Hitler,said they were "sent by God" and blessed the innumerable atrocitiesperpetrated by the croatian Ustase regime with the complicity of theoccupying italian troops.
Karol Wojtila has protected and supported the cardinal Pio Laghi,already a papal apostolic in Argentina at the time of the dictatorshipthat massacred 30,000 people. Laghi blessed and covered thetorturers and the assassins.
Karol Wojtila was the head of a multinational company withfar-reaching interests in the whole world and a huge income in aplanet where the majority of the population survives on less thentwo dollars a day.
Karol Wojtila, a "champion of life" that has maintained aambiguous attitude towards capital punishment, wasstandard-bearer for a culture of oppression. A culture that wouldlike the humiliation of the women's lives, one that condemned atany cost the birth of babies malformed or destined to famine. Aculture that prefers a life of pain to one of joy and health, a culturethat criminalized gays, that transformed desire and love into guilt,that defends those who haven't been born and persecutes those that live.
Karol Wojtila has sanctified the spanish priests that line up witharms with the catholic-fascist troops of Franco. These martyredsaints wanted to revive the glories of the church of Torquemada andof the Quemaderos, the "collective ovens" where the heretics werecooked at a low simmer.
Just like the anarchists and libertarians of '36 that fought for lifeand liberty against fascism and the clerical oppression, we,anarchists and libertarians today, even with respect for a dead man,we won't bow, we won't join in the chorus of many, that from theright as well as from the left bow to their knees in front of thefuneral of the head of the most ferocious, bloody, andfreedom-destroying organization that history can remember. Ourfight against religion and the church nourishes itself on theunderstanding that only the emancipation from religious stupidityand from priests, that in nourishing can allow men and women afull, joyous life, lived in liberty and respect for diversity, in solidaritybetween equals.
