I don't understand. Can you expand?

Intra-left debates often pivots from strategy ("optimal protest form") to freedoms ("the right to resist").

Relevant bit from Engels: Everyone has the right to revolution. That doesn't mean we should start a failed one. Reactionaries want that, to throw our cause back by decades!

Strategy matters!

Once you understand that THEIR STRATEGY is to create "spicy protests" -- and that their strategy works when they pull it off! -- it becomes very hard to support anything but disciplined nonviolent resistance.

Anything else hands them little wins!

Federal agents do roughly the same thing.

Since the Church Committee, the FBI shifted from "kill leftists" to "entrap leftists". THEIR STRATEGY is to get you to agree to do illegal shit.

Anyone suggesting you do illegal shit is (almost always) a dumb larper or (rarely) a fed hoping to arrest you.

Reminder: Fascists love to infiltrate leftist protests to start fires & break shit.

Dozens of examples from BLM, including THE event associated with "riots".

It's THEIR STRATEGY to associate us with property damage and violence.

Because that dramatically lowers turnout & sours public opinion!

Now we just need to find the button that replaces centrist Dems like Crockett (careerist egoists, "I heard a social media rumor that James Talarico said something problematic")

With centrist Dems like Louise Lucas (Evelyn Normielib, "Tim Kaine is a cuck for opposing 10-1 redistricting")

A thousand lefties & libs alike took up the shovel to bury this Therapist Speak.

Nobody cares about the "trauma" of hearing a whistle in your neighborhood, because everyone knows stopping ICE ethnic cleansing matters more.

Woke 1 is truly dead.

Thank you. Will you support plans to ban billionaire ownership or to create public media dollars, such as the "local news vouchers" proposal from Democracy Policy Network? democracypolicy.network/agenda/stron...

When we talk about authoritarianism, it’s not just Donald Trump.

Musk owns X
Bezos owns Twitch
Zuckerberg owns Instagram and Facebook
Larry Ellison controls TikTok

Billionaires increasingly control what we see, hear and read.

the Bring Back Shame Popular Front is expanding

Incredible unit of measurement

The conservative movement is so dominated by ultra-rich men that "protect powerful men" always beats "defend consent".

For proof: Every time a public figure is outed as a rapist, conservative pundits line up to defend them.

They'll even side with *liberal* rapists!

If Epstein had declared "I am a conservative being witch-hunted for my beliefs", the entire Republican Party would've spent the last decade defending ephebophilia

Socialists in the early 1900s, from Lenin to Debs, HATED "propaganda of the deed" -- because most of it was random, stupid shit that won nothing but public backlash.

Debs, 1912: "The physical forcist is the victim of his own boomerang. The blow he strikes reacts upon himself and his followers."

Performative anti-strategy is a major leftist mind-killer

Did burning garbage:
- Promote your cause? ❌
- Persuade bystanders? ❌
- Inconvenience ICE at all? ❌
- Make your cause look a lil bit scarier? ✅

Too much love for performative methods, too little for "does that method win anything"

The American Century of Humiliation cannot begin soon enough

Half of college Republicans are just Nazis, no two ways around it

Identity deference was a key failure of Woke 1. Marginalized people were innately more aware, less open to evil.

The ICE agents who arrested Brad Lander? South Asian. The federal agents who shot Alex Pretti? Latino.

Nobody is immune to evil. We must destroy evil structures. We must abolish ICE.

Thank you for fighting against ICE terrorism on the streets.

Will you join AOC in demanding "Abolish ICE"?

ICE is no longer an immigration enforcement agency. It has become Trump’s domestic army.

If my “conservative” colleagues truly believe in small government, they should join us in demanding an end to masked federal agents terrorizing communities across this country.

If the Democratic nominee in 2028 doesn't support court packing and court reform, they're a garbage sellout.

Republicans in Utah packed courts because they couldn't handle Democrats getting one (1) seat.

We can pack the courts for helping Trump override democracy & oligarchs control the media.

Trump is giving a speech to Iowa farmers.

Every time I hear them cheer him for forcing ethanol onto American drivers I become 10% more Maoist.

So much of American conservatism is funded by subsidized farmers, state-mandated car salesmen, and grifters on TV.

Yeah, but note: Nobody, lib or left, wants to claim the Weimar period, because we lost.

Most types try to lay claim to the periods when lib & left worked together, like Lincoln or FDR or MLK-LBJ-CRM.

People try to lay *exclusive* claim to the good stuff, not the bad stuff!

remember when the panama papers came out and we found out every rich person on earth was committing tax fraud and then nothing happened

Addy is wrong: Many things happened!

- Someone carbombed the journalist who released the papers.
- Billionaires started buying up local media and newspapers.
- Several countries reformed tax codes to become havens for the ultra-rich.

We need to destroy the global oligarchy before it destroys us.

We live under a Pedophile Occupied Government.

The oligarchs loved Pedo Island and its power networks. We need to destroy that power.

It's funny: The neolib & the vanguardist above both talk like they're playing with dolls, in a history that never happened.

But history exists! In fact, BOTH communists AND liberal abolitionists were mad that Lincoln was too moderate. But they held their noses and voted anyway!

Online Libs & Online Commies hate each other more than actual libs & commies did.

German communist immigrants in the Chicago Arbeiter-Verein organized tirelessly for Lincoln in the 1860 Republican primary, because he was the leftmost viable candidate.

They were right!

Not to defend Chomsky, but isn't that quote from Epstein, with no reply from Chomsky?
