"Fundamentally we need to understand that there is no constituency for bolshevism in the US today, and understand one of our current objectives being the construction of such a constituency."
@cde_six@SwampCommunist Explain to me how what you are are doing impacts the balance of forces that are arrayed against Gaza? How is what you are advocating significant? You’re saying nothing, just jargon.
@cde_six@SwampCommunist commitment means doing things that aren’t sexy militant leftist stuff like getting or organizing a union job, building a mass mvnnt to alter the current subjective forces to allow us more weight to any escalation beyond ‘stop sending arms we are going to get ourselves arrested.
@cde_six@SwampCommunist Fighting a police officer, doing an unpermitted march, whatever, are all symbolic. ‘Escalation’ of that kind is nothing but aesthetics for your ego. Militancy means commitment. Weather underground cosplay is basically prayer.
@cde_six@SwampCommunist If you’re willing to go to prison for Gaza for 10 years, go get a job at a warehouse, hospital, etc and commit to organize and struggle for 10 years and bring these ideas to people with real power (critical sectors of the working class.)
Modern iterations of ‘Abolitionism’ really need to be analyzed critically. Where did abolitionism come from and who are its main adherents? Why?
You can’t fit this easily into a tweet, but I’m happy to discuss this with anybody.
I feel like older communists aren't seeing just how much abolitionist baggage young activists have from 2020, among a lot of student radicals it's like an assumed shared value. Drawing that line of demarcation in an organized way vital in winning advanced student.
@yaletown_2233 @MRC_SLC @katalinscherer I don’t own a car and commute through this exact neighborhood daily. So it’s annoying to watch some soft Harvard-Yale neighborhood baby come through here and bother people just trying to work.
@yaletown_2233 @MRC_SLC @katalinscherer But living in this neighborhood i know that for these guys to park elsewhere they would need to cross the street every time they need to go back to their truck. Huge pain in the ass. On the other hand it would have taken @MRC_SLC 10 seconds to not be an anti social freak.
@stone333333333@bikelakecity No, for bothering people doing a job in the sun with his tattle tale hall monitor, whining middle class bullshit. Who gives a fuck if it’s illegal, you have a red triangle in your handle and you’re going to cite legality?
