<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">This is precisely my point.&nbsp; What are their politics?&nbsp; Certainly, the catchphrase "diversity of tactics" has been formulated as a way of agreeing to disagree.&nbsp; But this disagreement presupposes entirely different schemas for understanding what exactly "politics" is.&nbsp; Moreover these disagreements degenerate into sectarian squabbles in which people who define themselves as anarcho-syndicalists refuse to even speak to people who refer to themselves as anarcho-communists.&nbsp; The terms of debate become reified, they take on a surface appearance while the material relations underlying these terms&nbsp;are completely overlooked or covered up.&nbsp; Thus,&nbsp;some groups are&nbsp;all too happy to totalize the field of&nbsp;opposition with unquestioned common-sense assumptions on what diversity means while refusing to even listen to the arguments of a few troublemakers.&nbsp; In other words,&nbsp;I want to uncover the entire form that the disagreement takes needs to be exposed.&nbsp; I feel that by having different "activists" draw/spatialize the relations&nbsp;they have&nbsp;with other people/groups, many of these assumptions can be brought out which would ideally provide a basis for discussion between&nbsp;people/groups.</P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">&gt;Chris, sorry to have to be ironic, but I had no idea that the different </P></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>&gt;protesters constructed their their relations with each other. I thought
<DIV></DIV>&gt;they simply disagreed, and that these disagreements had to do with
<DIV></DIV>&gt;their politics.
