@KraushTakes People tend to refer to the Panthers because theirs were really well performed and useful to take from. Effective organizing is multipronged and Mutual aid networks tend to be key to feeding people on picket lines or providing childcare so people can vote 2/2.
@KraushTakes The Panthers weren't the first folks to have Mutual Aid be part of their strategy nor were they the last (it was key to ACT UP's strategy and progressive and socialist candidates have even started incorporating these programs into their campaigns like Kat Abguzalleh) 1/2
@Serene_Necrosis@gnostic97@recondite1011 Chicago DSA did not have a Red Rabbits team in 2024 nor were they running any of the marshalling at any of the marches. These were mainly handled by FRSO and PSL.
@movement4kshama@RepAdamSmith I think your vanity campaign doing minimal outreach in most of your district is what is helping Adam Smith win.

@Juche_Gang On the second revolution in 12 years with a socialist movement both in the factories and countryside and massive reaction to a long war. Even then the October revolution ended up mainly relying on people not stopping the Bolsheviks instead of joining them.
@GoodVibePolitik I think it's two fold.
In coalition with other left organizations having broad, approachable protests that mobilize folks and then point them in the direction of action to radicalize them.
Be better about providing access to educational spaces that address material concerns.
