i’m a teamster at UPS and i’m proud of the work that I do. my coworkers are crazy and idiosyncratic but i believe in them, even if a lot of people don’t.

[ed | 🔻🇵🇸🇵🇷🇭🇳📕 @prolepedestrian]

@ctizzie They looked like this when I was a paper member back in 2018

@redsun1509 @ThaDJMKULTRA Do you think 21st century America has the same political rights and ability to organize for socialism as Tsarist Russia?

[union stewart @un_hambourgeois]

the replies to this are a great demonstration of how worthless the online left is. so many of these people have built elaborate mental monuments about how they are too important to live a working class life to organize workers. liberalism is a fucking plague

[B @BDVW98]

@GLOPULON @SwampCommunist Do you hear yourself? UPS workers don’t care about their workplace conditions? You don’t think they care about management harassment? About access to water or clean drinking water on the job? You are a clown who clearly has never actually organized in your workplace.

This morning, June 16th, there were multiple coordinated raids on immigrant rights activists in the Twin Cities. At least 15 people have been indicted, with the U.S. Grand Jury charging “conspiracy to impede or injure a federal officer,” alongside a number of other trumped-up charges.

“Those of us in the labor movement know that an injury to one is an injury to all. An attack on immigrant workers, the backbone of labor in this country is an attack on the entire working class.”

All the "Marxists" in the qts and replies are positively fuming at the thought that they would ever deign to get their own hands dirty

[Silver @SxLongshadow]

There is going to be a lot more of these about every org in the next 5-10 years.

[Pravda @Pravda47]

Why is joining a trade so frowned upon amongst non-ML/Maoist Marxists? Why do so many want to limit themselves to academia, and social media? Why are you content with remaining spectators rather than becoming apart of the proletariat you claim to represent?

[FRSO | Freedom Road Socialist Organization @freedomroadorg]

The point of class analysis is not to judge individuals, but to understand the general revolutionary potential of large groups of people. Some petty bourgeois will take up revolution. But our broad strategy should focus on the working class.

clear line of demarcation emerging on the tl between people who think revolutions are made principally by:
a) thinkers and communicators, or
b) the toiling masses

[MLMinPractice ☝️🥷🇵🇸 @mlminpractice]

This discourse is driving me insane, Lenin and Mao absolutely considered academia & the intelligentsia to be of the petty bourgeois and a bunch of people on here are acting like it’s completely out of left field for an ML to say the same

@SwampCommunist @militanthotdish What about Marxist grad students who also are UPS teamsters 🤔

[B @BDVW98]

@Mike_from_PA @josecanyousee Is she? In what sense has she actively participated in DSA besides being endorsed by them since 2018? Genuine question

[charles @deephousegibbon]

“Some Points on the Mass Line” by FRSO is an excellent resource for anyone interested in what it means practically to be a communist organizer in the real world.

Essential reading imo!
