Got curious how they managed this. I hadn't looked into pal action much, but it turns out there's a dude named Fergie Chambers who is rich af (like 100s of millions) in the background paying legal fees and such.

I'm so torn between admiring him and being disappointed that he's not doing more to build a vanguard (but maybe he is idk). Either way, being that wealthy and not being a capitalist piece of shit about it is impressive.

Edit: y'all think he'd pay my rent if I do agitprop full-time?

Fergie Chambers

Fergie is sus af. He gave some money to CLN (the org I have been a part of) and my comrade Sungmanitu had a falling out with him and he has done some very very shady shit. Possible fed, definitely dipshit with more money than sense and some sort of white savior complex.

I think it's important to make use of it while it's available but still be critical/suspicious. In the meantime, Pal Action is making some real wins. I am sorry to hear about the pain and hardship he has caused your comrades and organization. For radical movements to really be sustainable, they need to be member funded and independent of these fickle streams of support which can be turned off at a whim.

Not sure why I let myself be hopeful about a rich person

You're... Part of a 1940s Italian anti fascist league?
