What does the "E" stand for

This is the anarchist progest group from the Pittsburgh Summit of the G-20. They have excellent
"signage" but this and other banners have an "A" at one end, left, and an "E" at the other on the
right.

Seriously, does anyone know what the "E" stands for? Or not seriously, if you choose.

14. All revolutionaries are.
The lower classes are just the stepping stones and cannon fodder one group uses to get to the other.

7. Although I align a lot with some of their ideas, my opinion about Anarchists is similar to
my opinion about Libertarians.

In short: I think their ideas sound ok on paper, but I am skeptical that either form of anarchy from the right or the left would fail in practice, for the same reasons every political/economic theory can have problems, that at some point someone will take advantage of said system, and fuck it up. At least with representational Democracy, when it gets fucked up we allegedly have checks and balances to try to bring it back around. To me, Anarchistic/Libertarian societies would devolve into a might-makes-right situation which would be no better, and probably worse, than the power abuses we see now.

Maybe I am being short-sighted or cynical, I just have a hard time taking either idea seriously.

12. Maybe the "A" is for Affect
You get an A&E for Affect & Effort!

I guess that's when we work extremely hard and get emotional while we do it?
