I recently came across this law enforcement manual detailing the tactics of protesters, written in 2003. The material is obviously dated and informed by anti-globalization protests in the 1990's, including the "Battle of Seattle." Still, this is good counter intelligence for anybody involved in the Occupy movement or any other US protest with a violent law enforcement presence, which is pretty

This is some of the best writing I have seen about tactics during street protests. Occupy Portland Outsmarts Police,  Creating Blueprint for Other Occupations   by Lester Macgurdy The Portland Occupation stumbled upon a tactical innovation regarding occupying public spaces. This evolution in tactics was spontaneous, and went unreported in the media. On December 3rd, we took a park and

I haven't done a "Tip of the Day" for quite sometime, but after recent events and discussion with old comrades, I just had one lesson of guerrilla warfare relevant to the current Occupy movement(s). It increasingly seems as though there is a coordinated, perhaps federally effort by cities across the country to forcibly remove Occupy encampments and the allegedly constitutionally-protected

Having been attending street protests and other direct actions in the San Francisco Bay Area since I moved here, I thought I had a pretty good pulse on how thing went on the streets. Then the #occupytogether movement started. Suddenly the context and participants in street actions have changed dramatically. The most notable development that has come with the rise of OccupySF  and Occupy Oakland

Recently, I received a call of solidarity and to action via social media around midnight. The OccupySF encampment was facing eviction by police. Comrades were in trouble so I raced to downtown San Francisco to show the members of the encampment, many of whom are from out of town, some real SF solidarity and how we handle the cops. Bay of Rage had this fantastic account of what went down,

See my report back on the original #opBART protest here After the seeing the very disorganized nature of the first #opBART, many people showed up for round two hoping to help the protest be a little more directed, energized and radical. This time I didn't bother to go into the station, foreseeing its closure and all the protesters ending up in UN plaza and instead just waited above ground.

My home state of Vermont has been devastated by the worst floods since the 20s. This is a call to all radical Vermonters and friends of Vermont to help rebuild and most importantly help take care of your friends, family and neighbors.

I attended the action and wanted to share what I saw and give some strategic and tactical analysis of the action.

The ongoing "civil" war in Libya continues, despite "Peace President" Obama's imperialist use of NATO air-strikes and thinly-veiled assassination attempts to support the anti-Gaddafi rebels and his refusal to seek congressional approval for the illegal war. Via the NYT, the poorly armed and poorly trained rebel forces provide some valuable lessons in the conduct of irregular and by extension

If you are involved with organizing a new group or network, it is extremely useful to have regular meetings. This meetings can take any form you like, the point is having an easy way for people to be involved and to get involved.

Editor's Note: This is a follow-up post to my most recent post on revolutionary strategy in the U.S. in 2011. Squatting and other forms of occupation/reclamation/liberation is one tactic mentioned. This article outlines the basic methodology of doing so. Based on my conversations with squatters (present and prior), this information is relevant and valid.via SlingshotBy The BAsic Cereal

With the year 2011 already in full swing, and given recent events and personal experiences, I felt inspired to write a post outlining what I believe to be a way forward in advancing the revolutionary anti-capitalist movement in the United States, although this does not exclude it from being applicable in other countries or regions. There is no doubt in my mind that we stand at a unique historical

I recently dumpstered/freegan-ized the above pictured ammo from an abandoned house, around 450 rounds of .22 lr and 50 rounds of .38 special. The house had already been robbed of the guns, which I have heard is pretty common when houses are left uninhabited by death or other purposes. I have gotten freegan ammo before, but none in as good as condition as these vintage boxes.

Saheim originally gave me the idea of using tampons to seal GSWs (gun shot wounds); as tampons absorb fluid they expand. Of course my inner hippy told me that non-bleached cotton would help prevent toxic shock syndrome if the wound did not receive immediate attention. I asked an ER nurse about this idea and she said that it would stop the the external bleeding but the major tissue damage caused

Regular readers, few as they may be will probably have noticed a lull in posting on The Revolution Script. The reason for this are two fold. First I just moved to the San Francisco Bay Area and have been getting settled and established, which takes up lots of my mental energy and keeps me from my revolutionary duties. Second I have not been around firearms since my move, as reactionary liberal

But for those who seek to achieve real social and governmental change within Latin America, or anywhere else for that matter, the route of guerrilla insurgency might not be the most desirable way to do so. If one looks historically at the effects of civil war and guerrilla activity, one recognizes that Gandhi’s campaign of non-violence to remove the British from India, might offer a much better

After a Yugo SKS, the WASR-10 by Century Arms International is probably the rifle most commonly purchased by aspiring revolutionaries in the united states. The reasons for this are simple: they are AK-type rifles and they are the cheapest option, outside of handbuilding which is considerable effort. I own one and was recently sent a link for a cheap AK-74 clone by CAI by loyal reader Spiderman

Traditionally, guerrilla insurgency theory has been essentialized into two schools of thought. The first, Guevarism is marked by its adherence to Che Guevara’s foco theory, which says that a revolutionary uprising can create the necessary social conditions for a successful socialist revolution. It is a radically vanguardist, derived from Marxist-Leninism and adapted for social, political,

A golden rule of infantry is to take care of your feet, a rule which is even more important for the guerrilla. And for good reason, battlefield conditions can cause severe harm to your feet. Mobility is one of the guerrilla's assets and s/he can not afford to be fettered by an injury, infection, blister, fungus, etc. when airlifting/evacuation is not possible.

The lack of resources, financial and otherwise is one of the defining characteristics of the guerrilla; many of the differences in tactics and strategy between guerrilla and conventional warfare are due to the gap in resources. For example, most conventional armies outfit their soldiers with some level of body armor, often soft armor (kevlar vests) combined with trauma plates to provide

The life of a guerrilla is a simple one, spent away from the comforts of civilization for long periods of time. He cannot afford the extra weight of many of things he might otherwise use in his daily life. Something really small that I have found to be really useful are tea tree oil toothpicks.

If you are shooting a long arm with a sling, you can greatly improve your accuracy with one simple trick. Just put your elbow partially through the sling from above, and then wrap your forearm around the sling again. Then go into your normal shooting stance, pulling the sling taught against the back of your arm, right above your elbow. This steadies your shot dramatically, giving your better

In the chaos of the battlefield, confusion, disorientation and limited/ a lack of communication can run rampant, reducing the effectiveness of a unit. One simple tool that can mitigate these is tracer ammunition. Tracers use pyrotechnic charges which glow and allow the bullet's trajectory to be followed by the naked eye, particularly at night. The most common use of tracer is to load tracers as

I am going to be trying something new here at The Revolution Script with this post. Most of the time I talk about a fantasy land called "the Revolution" but today I am shifting gears and explore another hypothetical reality, the Zombie apocalypse. I have long been a fan of zombie films and have spent many a long hours thinking about what I would do in case of zombies or Zeds. After hours of

I have been thinking about expanding the staff here at The Revolution Script. If you would like to become a regular contributer, prepare a sample of a post that you would write and post it as a comment to this post or email to me directly. Or if you simply want one article posted, I will consider those as well. Only serious inquiries please.

The Vermont sovereignty movement continues to grow and gain popular (a term I am using loosely) support as people become more disenfranchised and dissatisfied with their condition and that of the rest of the United States as a whole. There are many who wish to create a worker's state in Vermont and develop a post-capitalist society which would hopefully facilitate the dismantling of global

The blog has grown larger than I ever imagined. I would like to thank of the people in my life and in history who inspire me.

One of the many areas in which my gun collections/stockpile has been lacking is that I never, until recently owned a handgun. A sidearm is a vital part of any soldier's gear for a number of reasons; it can easily(but less accurately) be used with one hand; it can be more easily concealed on one's person; it is more suitable for close quarters than a long arm; it can be used in case of failure of

Often described as the revolution within the revolution, female members of the Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN) had to fight to have this law passed and added to the Zapatistas' other revolutionary laws, a law which enumerated the rights that women in Zapatista communities enjoy. I believe that all revolutionary movement must have, among other things true gender equality as part of

I am enjoying exercising my second amendment rights since my return to Vermont. Saheim and I took our respective assault rifles out to the range and shot some silhouettes at 100 yards and a tire and rim at 50 yards. Predictably Saheim's AR-15 was hitting milk jugs at a 100 no problem where my Romanian AK clone was making 12" groups at the same distance, shooting free hand. On the other hand, my

Finally, after much anticipation, The Red Son has returned to his home state of Vermont. It is very good to be back with my friends, family and munitions stockpile. I am looking forward to growing my own food, dumpstering/freeganizing all kinds of shit, hiking, shooting and networking with other Vermonters to advance an anti-capitalist agenda in the state.

I recently acquired this CamelBack Mil Spec backpack from a Navy commissary by means of a soldier friend of a friend. Military commissaries are a great way to get cheap knives, fatigues, patrol packs, camping supplies, food, etc. This backpack was forty dollars less than the MSRP and tax-free.

I am basing this entirely on the store from which I recently terminated my employment, but all you freegans and dumpster divers be on the look out for a higher than normal amount of expired foods being thrown out. Apparently the economic recession has caused food producers and distributors to liquidate their old stock in their warehouses. Because of a decrease in demand much of this is older food

The funny thing about Hawai'i is that while the islands (and the waters and airspace surrounding them) are controlled by the military, draconian gun laws making owning firearms extremely difficult. Besides the permitting process, guns and ammo are outrageously expensive, especially for military-style rifles. And yet I see weapons everywhere, multi-million dollar weapons capable of killing large

The element of surprise and by extension ambushes are two tools that are vital to the operation of the guerrilla. Conversely, being the victim of an ambush can be the down fall of even the most well-armed and well trained guerrilla column.All armies need to move around resources, whether it is troops or supplies and doing this requires that military units leave the safety of their fortified bases

Studying guerrilla movement in a academic context, I have noticed that very often guerrilla movements have extensive critiques of the current system, but spend scant attention to what they want to replace it with. So here is how I would re-organize the government and economy of Vermont, in some-what particular order of importance. Forgive my Utopian nature...1. Agrarian Reform- Subsidies would be
