George Zinn: Man falsely claimed he shot Kirk to distract from real gunman, police say George Zinn, 71, is accused of yelling out that he was the shooter to allow the real suspect to flee, authorities say.

There's a LOT of holes in the official story. Tyler Robinson is a patsy.
Do you know who George Zinn is? He didn't do it either.

Under capitalism, food isn't produced to feed people, it's produced to make a profit. When it's not profitable to feed people, we let them starve.  Even when our labor has conquered scarcity, capitalism must manufacture scarcity in order to justify its existence.

Cross eyed sponge Bob can't reconcile the contradictions of being a capitalist, stating both:
- Socialism is when no food
- giving free food to children should be Socialism

Reforms are granted by the ruling class in order to pacify revolutionary action They can be revoked at any moment since class society itself remains intact.

Marc Lobliner post on X: "Why the hell are we giving food stamps to 40 million people?

Does anyone work anymore?"

Marc Lobliner post on X: "Why the hell are we giving food stamps to 40 million people? Does anyone work anymore?"

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.

Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:

* Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled

* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employedโ€”but in jobs that pay poverty wages

You feel depressed and crazy because, in every historical human culture known to anthropology, people sang together, danced together, and ate food together, and you don't sing, and you don't dance, and you eat alone in the dark.

You feel depressed and crazy because capitalism grinds our cultures down to dust and annihilates every authentic species-type social experience or replaces it with a commodified simulation.

You are a singing ape, and you are meant to know fifty dances by heart, which hilltops are sacred, and the names of fifty plants you can eat.

That we would lose our homes, our savings, be forced to labor eternally for meager wages with no voice in the system...
Have come true under capitalism.

Before we throw around the 3.5% rule-  That number is a result of success, not the recipe. A single day of protest, no matter how massive is rarely enough.  Here is what Erica Cheneweth's research actually says it takes:

The movement must create durable parallel institutions:
Distributed leadership: councils and networks that can't be decapitated by one arrest.
Logistics and welfare: Systems of food, mutual aid and legal support for strikers and protesters. 
Secure communication: independent channels to bypass state propaganda and coordinate.

Orchestrate non cooperation: A regime falls when its machinery breaks.
General strikes: the ultimate weapon, halting transport, energy, and finance paralyzes the state. 
Bureaucratic sabotage: civil servants, losing files and slowing orders grinds governance to a halt. 
Consumer boycotts. Targeted economic pressure on regime cronies.

Cultivate defectors: Systematically this is a deliberate strategy
Appeal to patriotism: urge security forces to protect the nation, not the ruler
Guarantees of safety:  public, credible promises of amnesty and a place in the future for defectors
Reach their families: assure them their loved ones will be safe and provided for

Win the narrative war:
A compelling vision: be For something (democracy, justice) not just against the dictator
Counter propaganda: de-bunk state lies rapidly and credibly
Document everything: record atrocities to undermine regime legitimacy and build international pressure. 

Build international support:
Forge connections with foreign governments, NGOs, and media to apply diplomatic and economic pressure on the regime while legitimizing the movement.

All that to say GET ORGANIZED and FOCUS ON THE INFRASTRUCTURE, not the numbers.
