What are the types of political struggle that we stand to gain from?
What are the ideologies we need to reproduce amongst ourselves to actualize these strategies?
What are the forms and methods of organization which are required for implementation?
🇨🇳 | The last believed survivor of the “Long March” during the Chinese Civil War celebrated her 105th birthday.
Her name is Wang Quanying, she joined the Red Army as a medic when she was only 14 years old.
Born into a Tibetan family in 1921, Sichuan province, she lost both parents by age one. From age five, she was forced into harsh labor.
When the Red Army entered her hometown, Wang was attracted by their policy of protecting the poor and joined the Women's Independent Regiment.
The one-year-long march starting in 1934 under the leadership of Mao Zedong is viewed as one of the most daring military manoeuvres in modern history.
The Chinese Communist Party defied all odds, including total defeat, by what is often described as sheer revolutionary willpower.
Starting with about 100,000 people, only around 8,000 survivors eventually made it to their destination in Yan'an.
During battles with the Nationalist forces led by Chiang Kai-shek, Wang Quanying was cut off from her unit and went into hiding in 1936. Authorities verified her as a veteran in 1984.
they dont offer anything other than their "solidarity" which is worthless and immaterial to begin with. They feel so strongly about their "right to criticize", go to BF right now to talk your shit and see how long you can go before somebody whoop your ass cause you talking wild
We still support the AES over here. Y’all read headlines and a say fuck a country’s whole liberation movement with no further inquiry, let alone the patience to see how things play out. Weird and stupid.
This happens at Another World, a free space for the people. Please become a sustaining member to help support all the things we do

How to legally and lawfully GET RID OF ALL @Flock_Safety
🚨 Flock has a hidden weakness many don’t know: public records requests.
Activists have successfully forced at least 8 cities to shut down Flock programs, either by exposing unauthorized data access or showing the footage was publicly accessible.
One of the most effective ways to take down Flock cameras?
FOIA Freedom of Info Requests
PRA Public Records Requests

Public opinion turned against Israel so we’re seeing a full court institutional coup. ID requirements for internet usage, merger of U.S. and Israeli military. The committee to protect journalists declaring that Lebanese and Palestinians no longer count as journalists etc
@zachenglish91 Fake news is just one tool in the box. Seeding and spreading reactionary narratives about real situations is the more insidious approach. Often the reaction(s) themselves are the objective and the result.
@NiaFrome Failure is a given, people (groups) have to experiment. Without internalizing the *cost* of failure, then a group will experiment on vibes w/o any urgency on establishing a correct method. Making a group aware of its own (in)tolerance for patience, can be very challenging
"Grassroots leftists" brag about organizations which uphold pure formal equality, constant vetoes and referendums, and no wrecker penalty.
Then their projects challenge nothing and their actual life is spent working 8-16 hours a day under dictarorial conditions with zero input.
American-style "freedom" is greatly overvalued.
American-style meaning: "I can Think, Say, Feel, and Do whatever I want, even if it's incoherent! You can't stop me!"
Reality rules over people who think that way like an unaccountable tyrant they pretend they haven't adapted to.
