While mostly white “leftists” were inventing strategies based on missing analysis, there was an organization in the city doing all of this better: Community Movement Builders.

    this is something that happens at every level of resistance in every struggle on planet Earth.

    some people blame the people fighting back against the bad thing for the bad thing happening.

    it is cop shit and the authors belong in a fucking gulag.

      maybe there'd be less criticism from future gulag-prisoners if the level of resistance in question wasn't dudes performing "kate bush flash mob[s]" lol.

        Pretty sure there was men and women involved.

        Trying to discount it by saying it’s “dudes” is the worst type of identity politics divisiveness. As if “dudes” won’t be a part of any communist struggle. Lol.

        And when you risk domestic terrorism charges to fight the police state, then You can criticize. How about that?

          So you're not allowed to criticize other socialists unless you've already exposed yourself to the police state and sacrificed your entire future. Very not-fed opinion.

            Uh yeah. You can’t be a back seat driver / peanut gallery.

            If you’re not willing to take the same risks, at least support those who are. They have enough problems without other leftists dividing the movement and weakening their support. Divide and conquer is the fed shit.

      Criticism is not excommunication. Not to mention we can honor people as martyrs for the right cause and still criticize their methods.
