text: The worst danger to our democracy is how corporate money distorts the political process. The Black Bloc anarchists are aligned with even the mildest and peaceful of  progressives on this issue. 
  
  Corporate power is inimical to democracy, hence the smashing of corporate franchises during the Battle in Seattle, and elsewhere. It's symbolic of a political program. 
  
  It's just too bad the courts won't protect us from the corporate takeover of our elections and political parties. Kind of like the way that the Charlottesville police couldn't protect Heather Heyer against the violence Richard Spenser, David Duke and company brought to the city.
