To start: I have zero problems with revolutionary violence, nor with defying the laws of the Dutch State. However, at this time and place, the use of physical violence against the government of the Netherlands has zero tactical use. The anarchist movement in the Netherlands is still very small, with only a couple of hundred people actively sympathizing with it. Many people in the Netherlands think that anarchism is a naive ideology or actively fear it, and see the Dutch State as legitimate, all be it flawed.
This is not a climate that will make insurrection viable, and will only result in repression by the State, mass alienation and a reactionary backlash.
We should focus on gaining mass support (without resorting to petty respectabillity politics), millitant direct action that does not turn into full scale terrorism, and expand the practice of mutual aid.
Don't destroy the cocoon of Dutch anarchism, because a movement in its infancy cannot defend itself from fully matured institutions of repression.
Dont do this! (It's not tactical)
