RTS ideology?

Of course a disorganisation doesn't have a single ideology. Here, though, are some writings from RTS-types which express some of the ideas - and let's not forget practises - that most of the people involved have some sympathy with.

• The Financial Crimes! (err... coming back soon)
• A clarification on disorganisation
• Articles:Ecology and the social city
• Why did RTS link up with the tube and Liverpool dock workers?
• Shadowy Anarchist Extremists Target City in Riot Threat
• Essay: The Evolution of Reclaim the Streets
• Images of Subvertising
• Street Football
• Essay: What is globalisation? from Do or Die
• Reflections on J18
theory and analysis of the June 18th 1999 'Carnival against Capital'.
• Street Politics a response to the mayday 2000 media

Capitalism is a big subject, and if you've paid any attention at all to the other stuff here you'll have gathered that people around RTS are firmly opposed to totalising ideologies. (That's not to say there's much sympathy for postmodernism or anything. That's mostly an academic aberration to be kicked over on the path towards whatever really comes after modernism.) Here, though, are some texts and links to texts, that quite a few RTS'ers have drawn on... submissions welcome.

Ultimately it is in the streets that power must be dissolved: for the streets where daily life is endured, suffered and eroded, and where power is confronted and fought, must be turned into the domain where daily life is enjoyed, created and nourished.
