Liberals suck, but we will never win the bigger struggle if we don't win them to our side. For better or worse, they are one of the 2 largest political sectors of our society, and I don't think we have much of a chance appealing to the other one.

And I'm not talking about the democratic establishment. For the Revolution (or even just some loving social democratic reforms), we need freaking soccer moms to get on board.

...noone said building a better society would be easy.

So final word on the meeting: not nearly as trainwrecky as I feared, but not as productive as I would have liked. No actual planning happened. I'd like to organize another one that's just elected reps from different groups trying to plan stuff out and talking about projects they'd like to do

Because like, the co-organizer of this was a bunch of libs and an ACLU dude who talked a whole thing about the system but not at all about how to help and improve our community directly and like what the gently caress why are we not doing things that can have an immediate impact

i agree but i think it's important to be realistic about how many liberals can be won over absent some external motivating factor

ISO speaker is agreeing with all of it but also reminding us that the class war exists and how that plays into the other divides. Spending most of his intro time reminding us about the class war and the lost history of resistance. Cville is a turning point because it was the far right uniting across their differences and marching on an area where they weren't welcome. Aaaaaaaand now it's a call for nonviolent protest with no understanding that sometimes violence is necessary

The co-organizer ladt is now literally calling for a struggle session jfc

ISO has made non-violent resistance their line as far as I can tell.

Speaking as a member of the ISO, it's a tactical question rather than a matter of principle. Street fights against nazis have been going on in one form or another for decades, and it doesn't really stop them in the way that mass mobilization does. By comparison, look what happened because the tens of thousands of people mobilized in Boston, ACT for America shut down a whole lot of their rallies. It's not because more Nazis got punched, it's because they were massively overwhelmed.

And the way you get tens of thousands of people out there is by appealing to liberals who may not really be up to the task of, say, throwing a punch, or taking pepperspray. Not giving the cops (let's be honest, they're the real threat at these actions, not the fascists) an excuse to attack. That's not to say there's no place for violent resistance, you just have to be deliberate if you want to win.

as not a member, yeah, that pretty much says it

self defense is the key in a lot of this, and overwhelming solidarity, yes, even with libs, is the best key of all. We need a forward punch to get actual policy change but that's why action to turn the Dems left while mainly keeping violent action to literal actual nazis holding violent rallies like in Charlottesville is the place we should be hard at the moment

the police stay idly by while white supremacists openly march with nazi flags and beat people in parking lots while any left protesters apparently deserves real action and the media class will always find a way to punch left. Action needs to be done and Support Our Troops in Antifa but how the gently caress else are we going to really fight this without getting libs on our side?

Discourse Collective had a good debrief of Charlottesville over the weekend and they went over some of the tactical aspects of protesting. They touched on some of the hierarchy issues and mentioned the long and rich history of leftist groups getting subverted by the feds

Yeah, the old site wasn't great (the one before that was p good circa 2010 or so) but Kinja is not a good look for the av club. If you didn't give a poo poo about celebrity gossip or whatever, it was easy to skip over the newswire or their video features, but their new review section looks what a dumpster fire rolling down 5 flights of stairs sounds like.

I was going to say Kinja keeps getting worse with each update but remembered nothing will ever beat the one from like 2010 where comments could only be seen one at a time and replies branched so you had to click on little squares to switch between seeing each reply individually, which would then display all new little squares of the replies branching off that one.
