people sharing socialist memes on their facebooks are worried that a guy who worked with cops once is going to get them on a list they're already on

Yeah I know I've posted about this in the past but if you are serious about socialist politics that means engaging in actions that might be arrest-able like strikes, occupations, blocking traffic, etc. Even trying to organize workers at private companies can and has gotten union organizers and leftists arrested or removed by police. whatever your opinion about cops and their place in society, socialist organizing directly puts socialists in opposition to cops in some very key ways and as such they should not be included in socialist orgs that are serious about labor organizing and mass politics. doesnt mean you cant be friendly to them, doesnt mean you cant try to convince them of your ideas, but if you are planning actions like blocking traffic, occupying places, or planning strikes, these actions can lead to arrest and confrontation with police and allowing police into your org where they might take part in meetings or planning for such actions can and will compromise the action and the org.

not saying the dude elected to yalls leadership is a cop cause it sounds like hes a labor organizers who has worked with police unions and has been arrested himself. But the fact that he was arrested participating in protest should be clear evidence of exactly why you want to be cautious about cops being in your orgs because you will potentially be facing arrests in your activities just like he did.

Danny's people were pushing him very aggressively at the tables, in an hour various people from his group were at my chapters table multiple times. I feel with how specific he was in his work history otherwise, how he presented himself was dishonest and taking advantage of people's good faith. From my own research it looks like it was as recent as 2013/2014 that he was with them from a document titled and dated "12/20/13--13:41: Austin Travis County EMS Employee Association Recognizes CLEAT Employees for Support" , and he's referenced as a field rep for them in past documents. I don't think people should be dogpiling onto Texas chapters, they likely did not know at all, and while I think there should be increased vetting it isn't comradely to attack people who are likely feeling just as if not more betrayed.
