i joined the DSA, and I want more unions, class solidarity, strikes.
it’s just so fucking frustrating how many workers will die protecting their oppression.
every protest where the organisers speak more about how to make sure the protest doesn’t inconvenience anyone.
Fuck, use No Kings protest to block the roads they are protesting in for a few days and the government will collapse and a new one who is terrified of the people will make good policies.
They can’t send the police to arrest half the nation. And if dems had balls they would state that they will pardon all the protesters who are detained. (Dems with balls, that’s like a horse with a horn)
but we can’t inconvenience a single driver. no no no.
When I lived in Barcelona, I think most protests blocked the whole road.
Ahh, yes then I am too familiar with your frustration.
We are organizing, for the first time in our chapter, a visible coordinated intervention in No Kings. We are taking sign up sheets and lit, wearing our DSA gear, making plans for before and after.
I did some work with 50501/No Kings groups earlier this year, but I didn’t have support and burned out with little lasting effect. In general our chapter is slow to mobilize because, like you said, its a waste of time waving signs at empty govt buildings for 2 hours on a Saturday. I worked alongside PSL and they were a lot more effective because they could coordinate. PSL is far from perfect, same as DSA, but at least they are 1:1 much more centralized, with a greater deal of cohesion on strategy and tactics.
Now we finally have some capacity and urgency. And can stand apart from the liberal mobilization movement and light a beacon for people looking for something more practical and radical. There are a ton of people getting the message everyday.
Fear can have the intended effect but it can also backfire. It might take a while, and we def aren’t ready to meet the moment as a movement. But the imperial core is where all of the contradictions of empire are stock piled. If history is ever gonna happen here, we will have to grow the fuck up. And maybe it won’t start here. But the working class is international, it doesn’t have to. In either case we gotta try and hang with it.
In any case I was not aware of your game Albert, see there’s hope for us yet

otherwise it is just a party, not a protest.

100%
I might be a bit pessimistic, because the road to victory is long and hard. but we will get there.
Fuck, the imperial core is collapsing all by itself.
Solidarity forever brother/sister
Pessimism of the mind, optimism of the spirit!
Solidarity forever comrade!
