On October 3, 2010, during a demonstration in the city of Birmingham (Britain) while the police were dispersing a mass protest against the Tory Party Conference, our comrade, publisher of the Bolshevik online newspaper "For Bolshevism Inside the Communist and Workers’ Movement" was brutally set upon by police and taken to hospital. He was beaten by police and attacked by police dogs, because he was carrying a red flag, which the police tried to wrest from his hands. He was also arrested and held in a police van for a while, where he was questioned, then released without charge. Friends of our comrade, informing us about the incident with the police, accompanied the message with slogans:
No to bourgeois justice, no "peace" will stop the excesses of the police!
Down with the mask of the policy makers, compromisers!
All workers, migrants and the unemployed - unite!
Solidarity in action!
Only together can we defeat the exploiters!
No to cuts! No to wage cuts!
... Revolution! – Smash capitalism!
The growing protests abroad, confirm that imperialism is moving towards its demise and its law enforcement structures are becoming ever more brutal in protecting the power of the dying out exploiter system. Enough of all of us living on the territory of the USSR playing parliamentary games. No adapting to the regime, but its demolition should be the essence of our struggle. And none of the repressive measures of those in power can stop the natural objective course of history towards socialism.
Long live the anti-imperialist struggle of workers around the world for peace and socialism!
Our cause is just. Victory will be sure to follow us!

STATEMENT BY FOR BOLSHEVISM-AUCPB REGARDING SUPPRESSION OF LEADING ACTIVIST, PUBLISHER OF “FOR BOLSHEVISM INSIDE THE COMMUNIST AND WORKERS’ MOVEMENT”
On 3 october 2010 during a demonstration in Birmingham against Tory party cuts, a leading activist of the For Bolshevism-AUCPB group, publisher of “For Bolshevism inside the Communist and Workers’ Movement” was singled out by the police in a sinister fashion and brutally set upon on by over 6 policemen, after been thrown onto the ground. Whilst on the ground, a policeman was clearly heard by witnesses to have shouted at the other policemen to “get into him!”. The comrade was then thrown into police riot van, searched and questioned, then released without charge. The pretext for the brutal police action was in their words “the person was suspected of being in possession of a weapon”. The activist was holding a red flag and in an area where the police nearby were at the same time “kettling” and suppressing a small number of protestors that had broken away from the main body of the march a little earlier. Police attack dogs were used to disperse protestors that the police “saw” as being “in the way”. After suffering injuries as a result of the police wading in and wresting the red flag from the activist by now on the ground and under attack by over six policemen, he was sent to a nearby hospital for treatment.
Indeed, being singled out in a sinister fashion for attack by police for holding a red flag, clearly shows the aims and nature of imperialist domination – to suppress progressive forces and frighten young people away from fighting capitalism. The red flag is capitalism’s worst nightmare and enemy. Capitalism and imperialism is in a systemic crisis, therefore methods of suppressing progressive forces will become even more brutal.
Therefore, For Bolshevism-AUCPB and all its supporters in the UK and around the world denounce, and at the same time express their deep hatred and indignation at the UK police who committed the outrageous attack on our comrade, and extend militant solidarity and sincere wishes for his speedy recovery from the incident.
The atrocious actions of the police against our comrade on that day is an act of intolerable violence, an inhumane act and a despicable suppression after designating him to be stopped and searched. In fact, all he aspires for is to defend popular people’s rights, their interests and socialism against imperialism.
Though the suppression of the progressive force by the authorities gets more vicious and despicable, they cannot quell our comrade’s revolutionary courage and spirit, we believe.
REVOLUTION!
SMASH CAPITALISM!

ATTACKS AGAINST POLICE TARGETS IN BRISTOL
@ | 10.10.2010 14:08 | Social Struggles | Workers' Movements
Anti-police actions on the nights of the 8th and 9th October.
1. Avonmouth police garage was a soft target with 30 rocks thrown over the fence at vehicles.
2. CID regional HQ, Kenneth Steele House, Feeder rd. Plainclothes vehicles, including one sports car, smashed with rocks.
3. Fishing line strung up at 9ft for the mounted police of Bower Ashton mounted police and dog section.
Pick your moment, your terrain. Ambush.
Some angry people are not content to stagnate in silence. We recognise our brains as weapons. Wouldn't it be nice if more people broke away from the British tradition of sitting back and taking shit from cops in the U.K and actually fought back for a change?
Solidarity with all those inside and outside the prison who fight the system.
This is for all those beaten, abused and murdered by police.
