BATTL.nl Special: The Black Block Tactics For this BATTL.nl Special we collected a few sources to inform you on a relatively new phenomenon: the Black Blocks.

Are they frustrated, moronic, anti-social left-wing fascists? Brave frontiers in a just struggle aiming to uplift humanity? Or is the truth to be found somewhere in the middle? We offer you a chance to make up your mind, nothing more…

	Three Articles from Black Block Members, Ya Basta solidarity from Genoa "The whole idea of a Black Block is that people wear all black, and stay in a tight formation. If people don't stay in formation, and wander around with large gaps in-between, well, that's not a black block, that's a march of anarchists wearing black. A black bloc requires that people stay tight and stay alert."
	Black Block Tactics "The Black Block has gained alot of publicity in the past two years. What people dont understand is that the Black Block is not an organization or a group. It is a tactic. It helps reinforce security and execute our goal in the presence of high-profile demonstrations."
	ANARCHIST/BLACK BLOCK MOTIVATION "Firstly, I am an anarchist, and this has been written because much of the anarchist position on street fighting tactics needs to be explained, especially after the murder of the brave street fighter Carlo Giuliani. Nobody should expect radical change to be a comfortable and easy process."
