Community self-defense

Organized and dedicated people are organizing self-defense coalitions. If you're in LA it's never been easier - you mostly just are asked to be a body with eyes, ears, and empathy for a few hours a week. Community self-defense is one of the sole things blocking ICE from kidnapping more people right now. Be a part of the demonstration that this is not acceptable.

Getting Organized

If you have any heart, then you can see that we need a revolution that would strike the final blow against the greatest cause of misery and exploitation in the world, U.S. Imperialism. I’ve seen a lot of folks who recognize this, but then very pessimistically bemoan the lack of organization among the left. Generally, the people who believe this are not organized themselves, and if they were, they would probably not believe this. They don’t know that as capitalism progresses, it digs its own grave - the crises of 2020 resulted in a swell of membership among all the Red organizations, the Palestine solidarity movement after Oct. 7th saw a swell, and now after Trump’s re-election, we are seeing droves of people join orgs like DSA, PSL, and FRSO. In contradiction between two things (eg. Capitalism being the contradiction between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat) we can first make quantitative changes (an increase in membership, the establishment of greater union power, the development of political leadership among the masses) which at a certain level makes a qualitative leap that changes the nature of the contradiction. The aspect which was primary, becomes subordinate to that which was secondary. The more we fight, develop, and harm the enemy; the more we shift the scales in our favor and make the possibility of revolution higher. There is hope for a revolution w/in our lifetime.

'Wmd's' and iraq

Marching with more than a million people when I was 18 to protest the illegal invasion of Iraq and seeing that the government did not care one bit what the people of the country wanted. I haven't trusted politician's since then - until Corbyn but we all know what the establishment did to him. I've spent my life protesting and causing 'good trouble' but they still don't care and they never will - now I'm building community and looking to get involved in mutual aid locally. The only thing we have is each other, the government isn't coming to save us. Quite the opposite in fact, no matter which party is in power.
