i mean the protests did lead to that one precinct getting torched, which is one of the best things I’ve seen happen in a long time.
cant believe I watched a police station get burnt up live on twitch. what a weird time to be alive
I mean had there been better organizations leading into the protest maybe.
Like if DSA/PSL/CPUSA was an actual electoral force and/or a general union like the IWW was in place to be able to threaten a general strike then they could have worked with BLM groups to force their actual demands.
There wasn’t, though, so once they started making people go back to work by lifting restrictions, Dem campaigns were able to co-opt the energy of the movement, and there was no labor threat to capital it wasn’t really going to happen.
To be fair, the real radical leaders of BLM who could have taken the protests to the next step were all found dead by suicide in cars that spontaneously combusted.
Wait really? I thought they just got ousted from the orgs by liberals.
A good handful of mostly Black, leftist organizers have “mysteriously” died since Ferguson way back in 2014. Same as it ever was.
the problems of 2014 are really ripening now, huh?
The problems of 2014, of 1992, of 1979, of 1968, of 1963, of 1955…
Excited for my kids to make fun of me with a :vote: emoji but it’s the word protest. Also it’s on cybermyspace where the hdmi cables plug directly into your eye sockets
Don’t organize, don’t agitate, don’t protest. Just stand still in your closet and hibernate until the class revolution has swept through this land and installed pure communism.
:bordiga-despair: me getting into the
sleeppodchair to await the dawn of a true proletarian revolution
