[…]perpetuating the mantra of “art for art’s sake” isn’t merely irresponsible—it reinforces the status quo of the capitalist class. It echoes an ethos of "apathy for apathy’s sake.

Your first part is kind of why they’ve become known as anarchist tactics though, because it seems to me, and this might come off some type of way, that anarchists are the ones who are willing to take that kind of risk. And sometimes you just gotta take that risk, I feel. I mean, it’s putting benches up. You can make them with wood, and you could probably do a bunch in the afternoon. And maybe they get taken away, but you just build new ones. I mean, hell, in LA there was a group of people who were doing crosswalks, and the city started removing them, and it caused a bunch of problems in the media, because people were like, why are you removing these crosswalks? Why didn’t you build them in the first place? And then it became a propaganda win, which is what we need.
I’m also really glad that you guys are doing that GED stuff. I think that that is a winning strategy, a winning move. You know, I think about my own father, who had to get his GED when he was like 23. And, you know, he’s kind of like an apathetic Gen X conservative, and I wonder if that could have been, way back then, a kind of starting point to make him not that.
Lets not get hung up on semantics though!
Not a bad idea, I still need to finish Women Race and Class by Angela Davis.
Fair, fair. I only went with that because the orgs I’ve worked with in the past, IRL, whether it’s, FoodNotBombs, or putting out fridges and food and stuff, they’ve all been very explicitly, yeah, we’re anarchists. Which, which is cool, but limiting, to say the least. Fractured and limited. (We need a Vanguard)
I feel like dating apps have set this weird precedent where you meet someone and you immediately have to decide whether they’re someone you want to date/ ave a relationship with or if they’re someone that you want to be friends with but in my experience the people that I’ve dated have typically been people I was friends with and then it kind of naturally just becomes a little more romantic and a little less platonic.
I can’t help but feel like that was how it was before online dating became the norm… You know, you become friends with a woman/man, and then maybe it becomes a little more than that, and if it doesn’t, I don’t see why you still can’t be friends. Just make it very clear that if one party isn’t interested in the same way as the other party, it’s up to that other party to come to terms with that, and as long as that other party can come to terms with that and move on and not be like, “well, you know, you’re the only one for me”, then I don’t see what’s wrong with this logic.
Why not?
I only post on r/trueanon but i think I’m shadowbanned. Shadowbanning is so insidious
Asked this in my group chat, figured I ask it here as well. Why don’t any of these parties apply anarchist tactics within the party frame work to build dual power and do praxis? My experience with organizing IRL is mostly stuff like Food Not Bombs Things like tactical urbanism
I see this a lot in my neighborhood, most of the bus stops lack shade or a place to sit, so you’ll have old and disabled ppl forced to stand. Saw a old lady with a walker having to wait like that. Tactical urbanism would be getting together and building benches for those bus stops no cross walks in my neighborhood, we could fix that
communists tend to be more educated than average, we could be helping people get their GEDs, holding classes funded and organized by the party, this appeals directly to the masses, you help someone get their GED? You’ll have a loyal comrade.
I have a friend who is a school teacher, a science teacher. She has four classes of students, each with about 30 kids in it. She’s given $300 at the start of the school year to buy all of her supplies. Not only would it be an incredible propaganda win to go, Hey, look, the Communist Party is supplying schoolteachers with the supplies to teach your kids. Because the current regime won’t provide for your kids. You see what I’m saying? We have to build that dual power. We have to improve the material conditions of the working class.
I mean, this could range from anything from helping the homeless have food in their belly, setting up mobile libraries, setting up coat drives, cooling centers, building bus benches, running workshops, building impromptu third spaces, guerrilla gardening, lot cleanup, Alleyway restoration. Like, if a party has numbers and has people paying dues, those people should be being put to work, and those dues should be being spent building the dual power and improving the work that can be done.
To me, if I join a party, that’s what I want to be doing. I want to be put to work. I want to be with a leadership that is trying to get work done. I’m trying to stack W’s, and my concern is that I’ll join one of these parties, and we’ll just be selling newspapers, which is, I guess, important. I mean, I run a blog, but I want to do things that I couldn’t do alone and have zero interest in reformist electoralism within this settler state. Maybe they do these things already and I’m just ignorant.
What’s a good follow up to Settlers? Incredibly blackpilling book, surely, but surely there’s a follow up discussing things that can be done.
Capitalism is a meritocracy! but also:
I found out lace code is still a thing when I went with my Dad’s friend to a Sabaton/Amon Amarth concert.

It’s kind of ironic, I haven’t started the job yet, and I don’t even know if I’ll be able to take this opportunity because I’m too damn broke to get everything I need to fucking… get licensed and… such. My driver’s license was expired, I gotta handle that, my… I need to buy a suit and… all these other little things, I’m short on my rent. Shit, it’s not looking good. But… we’ll see. Because this is a sales job, so… You don’t have a motherfucker who… advocates for Medicare for All, selling Medicare plans. Ain’t that a motherfucker, huh? That’s something I had to reconcile. But see… I was working in tech, man. And I don’t give a fuck what… position you in. If you working in tech… Yo shit… You, you got blood on your hands, like… When you work for Microsoft, who built the AI that’s killing the Palestinians? Microsoft. You work for a contracting company, who you really working for? You work for the government. There’s no escaping that if you work in tech. So, I mean, at the end of the day… I can’t put too much… weight into my own ethical choices when I’m only… The reason I’m taking this job is because I don’t want to get called back at the end of the day. And yeah, man, I know what it is to have to try to reconcile that shit. I got friends who are doing… mandatory minimums… for the same shit I was doing. I got friends… You know, my grandfather did 25 years in prison… for selling crack. Like… He’s a motherfucker. He’s… Growing up with no… power sometimes, having a… leaky roof. And now you’re looking at… making enough money to possibly be able to pay for my friend’s healthcare and shit. Who’s to tell me I can’t go get that money? At the end of the day… That money, in my head, is going to pay for a lot… better shit. And do a lot more work. And do a lot more work. And do a lot more work. And do a lot more work.
You would be better off using 4chan, at least you don’t need an account. It’s the same type of posts.
Check your stories, and see who’s viewing them. I’ve done this type of thing before, and you’ll notice that you’ll have a lot of people who you don’t follow start watching your stories.
