Blok hitam: Perbedaan antara revisi

A '''black bloc''' is an [[affinity group]] of individuals, that come together during some sort of protest, demonstration, or event involving [[class struggle]], [[anti-capitalism]], or [[anti-globalization]], and wear all black. Black clothing and masks are used to make the bloc appear to be one large mass, promote solidarity, create a clear revolutionary presence, (usually associated with [[anarchism]]), and also to avoid being identified by authorities, who videotape protest events. -->

Terdapat pemahaman yang keliru mengenai Blok hitam, terutama yang beredar di media berita besar, bahwa "Blok hitam" adalah sebuah organisasi internasional, padahal sesungguhnya Blok hitam itu tidak lebih dari sebuah taktik yang digunakan oleh sebagian orang dalam demonstrasi. Dalam sebuah Blok hitam, bisa saja beberapa orang dalam sebuah aksi protes tertentu, memiliki perbedaan taktik dan tujuan. Seperti semua kelompok affinitas, aksi-aksi mereka didasarkan pada rasa saling percaya diantara sesama mereka yang bergabung.

There is a mistaken belief, especially among the mainstream news media, that the "Black Bloc" is an international organization of some kind, when in fact it is nothing more than a tactic used by a subset of demonstrators. There may be several black blocs within a particular [[protest]], with different aims and tactics. Like all [[affinity groups]], they are based on common trust between those involved, and usually share a common goal such as blocking delegates from entering a trade meeting, and a mutual understanding of shared tactics. Black blocs tend to be made up largely of anarchists, but can include many other anti-capitalist groups.
