Zig-Zag says, "One might say that criticizing 'vandalism' is a classic liberal position: holding ideals of 'equality' and 'fairness' up as replacement for an understanding of social struggles or situations, in which one is often induced into fighting for what they already have (maintaining the status quo) rather than for a destruction of the power structure."
Personally I do not oppose vandalism in general. Historic sites, however, have a value whether or not they mark deep evils of the past. This site should be preserved and its true history disseminated.
AS FOR REVOLUTION:
Breaking a few windows and spray-painting a message will not destroy the power structure. Popular support will. This will not be a popular action.
From war to infringements on civil liberties to austerity: The people, for the time being, are being routed. Fighting back for what you already have is inherently pro-revolutionary when the system we live under is fighting against the people to take everything away.
The difference between liberals and revolutionaries is that liberals will try to stop the momentum of the movement when the balance of power changes and revolutionaries will help bring ever-wider victories.
