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:

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.

Good to know but what’s a Will Menaker, then? And what’s this guy have against people who listen to subreddits? This post confuses me.

How can you listen to a subreddit?

Hell yeah that’s one of the reasons why it’s great.

Soccer is the people’s game (but other stuff is cool too)

$825 a month on rent? Where in the world can you spend $825 on rent and make $100k at 25. The disconnect is unreal.
