Unity & Struggle

We are Unity and Struggle, a small US anti-state communist group. We organize always and write interesting things sometimes.

U.S. police are an occupying army.
the war abroad IS the war at home.

[Black Rose/Rosa Negra @BRRN_Fed]

Yes, we should defend the occupations with everything we have.

But remember: all is not lost if they end.

The test of their efficacy is whether they have set down roots for something bigger, longer lasting, and even more difficult to dislodge.

[Black Rose/Rosa Negra @BRRN_Fed]

Following from this, while the occupations will not last forever, the connections made within the mass movement galvanized around them can be made durable (between students, campus workers, staff, faculty, and local residents).

These connections generate new points of leverage.

[Black Rose/Rosa Negra @BRRN_Fed]

One important lesson is that physical occupations are just one tactic that should be incorporated into a strategy aimed at bringing in ever greater circles within the university and ultimately, beyond it.

In this way, mass democratic assemblies are critical feature.

[Black Rose/Rosa Negra @BRRN_Fed]

In 2009 a wave of campus occupations swept across Calfiornia's public university systems.

Some of the key tactical lessons from that time remain relevant for this moment, as do important lessons about strategic limitations. 🧵

Press release of today’s #A15 action at Maher Terminal in Elizabeth, NJ today:

[Talia Jane @taliaotg]

Maher Terminal in Elizabeth, NJ was greeted by a pro-Palestine caravan led by Port Workers for Peace early today to call attention to Israeli shipping company ZIM, which docks there.

The caravan took police by surprise, who mobilized ESU, a drone, and motorcycles after it ended.

Presenters will give reflections on their work and the theoretical contributions that flowed from their practice: anti-capitalism, indigenous sovereignty, decolonization, revolutionary trans feminism, anti-imperialism; and the “braided” relationships between them all.
