Yeah, I don't see why anyone should stop going if it's not allowed. Asking for permission for a match / rally / protest is more of a "Hey, just a heads up, we are doing this and want it to be peaceful and remain a safe" thing.

Oh, sorry - I hope you did not take that as being accusatory. Like "rah people should do it anyways!" I mean more along the lines of, morally speaking, asking for a permit to protest is a nice thing to do. The government really shouldn't deny it and if so, the people shouldn't respect that. It's really awesome that you are going.

OhFunny posted:The last post on their fb page was a week ago? I don't have a Facebook account so I didn't think to check there. I saw that they meet every 3rd Thursday, but did not see the event on their calendar. I had been burnt in the past with the Dem scheduling a reoccurring meeting that they don't do anymore. I haven't reached out, was just looking since people were talking about the DSA gaining ground.

The person is pretty clearly from outside the US, so you can probably forgive the lack of knowledge there. The concept isn't exactly wrong. Dems need to do more to attract working class voters and having a spokesperson from that group of people would be a good thing.

Seems like a common tactic right now. There's a big hubbub for Cory Gardner, Republican Senator of CO doing the same thing - http://petitions.moveon.org/sign/senator-gardner-hold

SomeMathGuy posted:Makes sense. Gardner's been voting and commenting on protests like we're a safe state for his re-election when we're anything but. From what I understand they are planning to print it all out and have people deliver it to all of his offices during business hours. Can't hide forever you fucker.

It's really frustrating talking about unions with neoliberals. They all seem to have the exact same stance as your average Republican: That unions are bad, violent, and are not necessary anymore. How do these people expect for workers to be able to act as a countervailing force against corporations and concentrated power? I'm sure unions have their problems and I'm sure there is always going to be work todo, but you don't abolish government because it has its flaws. You don't outlaw religion because the Catholic church protected kiddy-touchers. You don't do away with police because they like shooting black people. You work to fix problems in these very important systems. You don't just demolish the system and pretend you're better off. It's just interesting that the only one they are for demolishing just happens to be the one that helps empower the powerless.

Sorry, neoliberal democrats. Now maybe we can move on with our lives, because it wasn't clear at all from context.

SomeMathGuy posted:You'll note that the government, the church, and the police are not contrary to the interests of the capitalist class and thus do not always have various media apparatuses blasting about how bad and corrupt and bad they are at every opportunity. Just out of curiosity, since I know we there is a good amount of overlap with DSA / anarchists, what would things ideally look like without government or police?
