[Marxism] A "protest in suits" movement. What do you think?

[David Picón Álvarez <david@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I've seen that there is some kind of "protest in suits" movement being born. 
Although I don't think the people involved are Marxists, I think the tactic 
is interesting. From their website:

"On September 15th, members of The Seminal staff attended ANSWER Coalition's 
antiwar march in Washington, D.C., dressed in professional attire. Our aim 
was
to reclaim the symbols of power and show that protesters are speaking for 
ordinary Americans. By dressing professionally, we believed we would appear 
articulate,
serious, and organized."

What do you think? Clearly, "marketing" and aesthetic considerations can 
make a tactic more or less effective. I wonder if this will give people who 
are enmeshed in the bourgeois value system of convention and respectability 
something to think about.

--David.
