to the excellent posts about building popular power you can see it in spots in the midwest where they had blm protests way before the 2020 explosion, and they were thoroughly owned (and murdered by the police) but their tactics were still carried forward so that when 2020 happened they were able to burn down a cop station. portland protesters have been facing down the cops and their nazi pals since the 80s, and they were able to sustain protests for almost a full year. they were also pointless against the specific topic, but became a laboratory for the dos and donts of sustained protest (mostly donts) even the hong kong color revolutionaries taught a number of advanced tactics such as the umbrellas, much to their actual chagrin because they were ideologically opposed to blm

JainDoh posted:excellent post. protests of this size would have been unimaginable in 2019, and many people thought after 2020 it was sheerly the quarantine that led to the numbers. Agreed and I would add 2 more important distinctions 1) the presence of organized labor in street actions. They are not showing up every single day in the last 7 months but there locals all across the country throwing in with statements of international solidarity, taking material action within their own organizations to support ceasefire/divestment calls, and a huge variety of shop floor actions to protect student vanguards, slow down administrative function of universities, protect members of their workplace who may be retaliated against for being party to organizing etc. An enormous development - trade unions have long been slumbering, and the new generation of members and organizers are charting paths of renewed militancy. 2) the sustained nature of street actions for Palestine. these campus flashpoints are following a completely different trend from occupy, Ferguson, BLM, which were singular actions with no future plans for escalation or sustained tactics. Since Oct 7, there have been near daily actions all across US raising a series of demands. As these demands have not been met, instead of fizzling out, Americans are escalating. Its Epic.

WoodrowSkillson posted:no protest is going to stop it today, tomorrow, or in the next few months. america is still building the capacity to effectively mass protest. for decades after the civil rights movement, protests have been hamstrung and neutered by "peaceful" protest propaganda about how the civil rights movement worked, along with effective management of popular demands by the elites. for a long time they have been very good about letting off the gas on things like gay marriage and keeping people just happy enough that the only protests were marches and other such ineffective methods. That's failing now, they are running out of concessions, and they can't concede on israel without collapsing significant parts of the system. ah, so this is the new cool zone thread somebody DM me when one of the regulars shoots the dick off of a random gropyer in the parking lot of a dave n busters

Granted, I think one fundamental way these protests are different than OWS/BLM is there was a way for the Democrats to "accept" their demands thus beginning the process of neutering those movements and replacing them with an safe alternative. Anyone remember Occupy Democrats? I think there was attempt at that at Brown but I think part of the issue is that Israel is simply too much of a live wire and that there isn't even room for pretend concern at this point, it is simply jack boots on the ground. Also to be honest this whole thing isn't about the US in reality, and the real war is happening on the ground in Palestine. Even if the entire movement collapses it isn't going to slow the stride of the Palestinians, it is a nice thing to see though even in the heart of the empire there is still some resistance.

good news from Qubec https://twitter.com/SamHersh01/status/1785708697118798125 quote:In Wednesday's ruling, Justice Chantal Masse wrote the plaintiffs failed to show that the protests were causing irreparable harm, nor was there any indication at this point that the protesters intended to block access to exams or McGill's buildings.

Anyone remember Occupy Democrats? The Democrats only got their foot in the door with BLM because Trump was president during the 2020 protests and its always easier for the losing party to fingerwag the President over their poo poo when they arent the ones in power. Same with how they reacted to COVID then and now. Now that Genocide Joe is President, all the Democrats have is These protests are bad, actually. and Do you seriously think Republicans can do better? Biden winning 2020 just helped show more people how much of a sham the Democrats are.
