Did somebody claim that El Comite called for/endorsed the General Strike? Is this a response to something specific?

Yeah really not sure what you're getting at. El Comite is basically the Bocanegra promotion organ as I understand it, and he vocally describes it as "not a democracy." This is also old news, so your tense is odd.

"Looks like your bad attitudes are paying dividends"
my kind of anarchist poetics.

Uhh, I dunno, maybe because it's a homogenizing, anti-union, sexist, racist, classist public corporation that thrives on maintaining quasi-fascist standards of beauty/hipness within its stores, and it's run by a paternalistic, pandering bro who's busy fighting off sexual harassment charges when he's not getting his dick sucked during interviews? Because it thrives on sucking away and commodifying all the originality of urban culture? Because all the first-gen immigrants it so proudly pays $12/hour work in the factory, while white, thin salesfloor employees are hired and fired based on the (pseudo-)"hipness" of themselves and their friends and their loyalty to a brand image? Because in the big scheme of things, it's still a corporation profiting off your -- and its employees' -- loss?

(Also, they do outsource now. They just pay workers in China U.S. minimum wage.)

Jorde, if you think that exploiting people who live in the US instead of those who live outside the US equals prosperity, then yes, I am anti-prosperity.

Your admiration for American Apparel clearly means you're a disgruntled hipster who shops there. Don't worry, we left the Pabst beer and American Spirits alone, there's plenty to hold you over.

"ass-wholes." So many ellipses. The promise of "More later".... A+ comedic posting, would read again! Don't keep us waiting, caspian364!

Irony: being an ass-whole for generalizing innocent people as ass-wholes.

Black Bloc is a tactic, not a protest or movement.
Next, go read the "why all the smashy smashy" guide.
Then, punch yourself for your asinine generalizations.
Finally, come to grips with the fact that to charge someone for breaking an inanimate object means that a soda-can crusher and a window-breaker, even a pencil-tip crack-er should be punished to the fullest extent of the law. Unreasonable? Of course. Property damage hurts nothing (perhaps the wallet), and to attatch human emotions and empathy for it is legitimate psychosis. See a doctor. Additionally, the word "thug" is a objective and derogatory generalization to describe a bunch of people you don't even know or understand in a pity attempt to make yourself feel civil, in the same fashion as the Europeans and their attempt to "tame the savages" i.e. Native Americans. Ask a tribal leader how assimilation worked for them. Expect an arrow to the knee. It is not the fault of the anarchists that a good chunk of us have either A) Realized the extent of failure of the system and B) Been made thoroughly pissed off by the apathy of the mainstream or C) Been made downright irate by peace-police protesters and privileged bigots that troll everything they don't understand. Got more? Bring it. I love to chat between toppling governments.
