I mean had there been better organizations leading into the protest maybe.

Like if DSA/PSL/CPUSA was an actual electoral force and/or a general union like the IWW was in place to be able to threaten a general strike then they could have worked with BLM groups to force their actual demands.

There wasn't, though, so once they started making people go back to work by lifting restrictions, Dem campaigns were able to co-opt the energy of the movement, and there was no labor threat to capital it wasn't really going to happen.

That movie sucked so fucking hard.

Imagine making Abbie fucking Hoffman say "The system is fine it's just filled with bad people". :agony-immense:

This is like day 4 of the bug discourse. I've been lost then refound so many times I'm not sure where I am?

As a concept? Absolutely.

In it's phrasing? No way. Lol.

I need to get a shock collar that zaps me every time I click the "view comments" button on reddit.

Is there a capitalist Palestine sub i could join instead?

The movie is, in my opinion, the best mainstream depiction of a leftist in film. It's largely accurate (although I don't think there was a shootout before the Chicago PD burned down the Panthers headquarters). However, the main notes that the film hits are accurate and it's depiction of Hampton as a character/leader was great.

Couldn't really disagree more. Maybe on communism, but not for socialism.

 

Saw that these protests are still going on (as of yesterday) and have seen news die down even around leftist areas so this libcom article was a nice resource to see what the deal was and what has been going on.
