>>What to brace for are more incidents which will justify a united front of government and corporate assault on civil liberties...<<
These may be manufactured quite easily,agent provocateurs have a long hirstory in anarchism.Oddly the more the MILIND strive for security the faster it slips through their fingers.Stasi east germany and the old South africa had state of the art security backed up by state terror yet they collapsed like a house of cards.The modern State is so brittle it's threatened by 000's and 111's.That's all I've used to attack it,its cost me a few hundred $ and cost them Thousands and thousands.Civil liberties,that is basic human and civil rights,are best defended by "the force more powerful'.Solidarity,peaceful,massive civil disobedience,disruption,resistance,sabotage,boycotts,strikes will all be required soon.The entire Eastern Bloc fell, almost bloodlessly, in a couple weeks, because one by one everybody realized that all that's sometimes required is to finally stand up and be counted, and to just say no to the government. When the time was right, all it took was a slight push.Now we have modern encryption there is simply no excuse for more authoritarian,hierachic power structures dictating the music.Our struggle is to encourage people to dissolve power and return it to the hands of humanity. What people do with that power is out of our hands. It is very important that people are critical of all decisions made via direct democracy and anarchy, but we will be powerless to stop it, if ultimately, that is what people choose. Now, I have enough faith in humanity that people will not come to a consensus which destroys humanity. This is why I'm comfortable with APster, and what anarchist societies will ultimately do with technology.
