London Riots: It's not a protest against capitalism, but a manifestation of 'it'

Sorry to some hard core friends in the left, but judging by the scale and effect of the London riots now, I call these idiots 'lumpens' in the real Marxist term. It's not a protest against capitalism or neoliberalism. To me, it's a manifestation of the dark side of capitalism and neoliberalism that real forces for social change must likewise condemn and oppose.

Revolutions, uprisings, and insurrections inspire and encourage people to join the struggle, rather than frighten and harass ordinary community people and workers. At times, looting is necessary out of hunger or cold (just like this seagull), but looting based on capitalistic consumerist mindset to get luxury goods and gadgets is never justified.

Stop acting like organic intellectuals to these lumpen thugs! And let's continue questioning, critiquing, and attacking the real enemy: the system that perpetuates the sacrifice of human beings and nature to profit!
