  • You didn’t answer my question but that’s ok. Listen, I think there are benefits to these big name protests. People getting out like this for the first time in their lives is good, and the potential for people to move further left is greater. I just disagree with the liberal ideology of these protests. For a protest to be effective it should be anti-police, anti-capitalist, and not pro-America. Of course people won’t get arrested in their police-sanctioned protest and when they support the institution. I don’t think Trump and his goons care about No kings when they’re currently abducting people and throwing them in a prison in the middle of the Everglades.

    I’m still in the infancy of joining this strategy and I’m meeting and doing work with great new people. A socialist revolution is potentially decades away, a class-consciousness needs to grow and establish in the people for change to occur. It will take time to unlearn US propaganda. Better to start now, join an organization like the DSA and talk to people about leftism without capitalist bullshit. The revolutions of Cuba and Vietnam are good examples a socialist strategy working.

    facts and logic

    Sitting down peacefully at a protest and letting the police arrest you isn’t strategic. Giving your information to a shady organization that creates a database that can be used against you is dumb. Oppressors have their own “facts and logic” they use to justify their actions, good luck with yours.

    If someone is about to kill your family right in front of you, say because they don’t like your ethnicity or wish to see you harmed for their gain, do you plead with them through nonviolent methods or try to stop them through violence?

    What is your goal?

    Currently being a part of and help a growing class-consciousness that works towards a socialist revolution. I don’t believe capitalism/imperialism can be reformed or stopped legally. Sure there is some merit to nonviolence, but we’re going against incredibly violent systems where it alone isn’t enough.

    strategic plan

    You mean your 50501 fed op? Any movement that supports the idea of America will always enable the very system of oppression you seek to end.

    nearsighted emotions

    Once you realize that fascists don’t give a shit about if something is “legal” or not, then you’ll realize they aren’t nearsighted. Its ok I used to think like you, give it time.
