I went to my first DSA meeting and they are actually helping organize the coming may day march which is expected to have over a million protests. This is astounding. Literal SOCIALISTS are beginning to organize mass movements with the help of labor. If this trend continues then socialists may soon come to a position of being a legitimate threat to the ruling class.

Holy shit fams, the red lives on

But thats how it starts user. This is how radicalization begins. I'll repeat what I said before. SOCIALISTS are deeply involved in organizing a protest which will have over a million people. This has not happened for a long-long time. SOCIALISTS are teaming up with labor unions which also hasn't happened since probably the era of the great depression. Dont you see, this is a very significant step forward.
I can't speak for LA, but May Day in NYC is usually pretty goddamn red. Not a liberal thing.
HOW ABOUT A FUCKING DEMONSTRATION AGAINST THE USA IMPERIALIST WARS ON YEMEN, SYRIA, IRAQ, AFGHANISTAN, NORTH KOREA, AND MORE???
Or are the libshits and antifas going to keep bitching about irrelevant shit like Trump's taxes or the KKK?
I really wanted to help make my local May Day march a workers' march myself this year. Unfortunately, our local immigrant organization decided to make it about keeping Latino families together.
Then stay at home and watch Sword Art Online.
I'm just joined but I'm trying to work on it. That's the weak link, because we need an anti-war movement now more than ever.
This kind of rhetoric is part of the problem. We needed an anti-war movement when Obama and Hillary were funding Al Qaeda in Syria, and engineering a GENOCIDE in Yemen. We must do everything we can to expose the link between Trump and Obama's policies, or the next sweet-talking Trudeau or Obama type will shut everyone up again.
Absolutely.
Why would you tell someone to do that? I wouldn't wish that on anyone.
Hello libshit. Demonstrating those wars won't do you anything. Literally won't make a difference. Trump's approval rating is as low as it gets, he won't give a fuck and the military is a professional who would shoot you before disobeying orders. The only way to end imperialism is by the proletariat, the one and only revolutionary class, seizing the means of production.
You can't have revolution without a vanguard. The time to start building is now. You build by promoting a consistent message and theory. That means telling the masses about the wars for profits, whether it's popular or does anything or not.
Why are all you libshits so void of basic reading comprehension. Standing out in the streets with mean posters complaining about Trump and the Middle East won't do SHIT. It only takes up valuable space and time that could be used for actually useful activism:
- educating yourself and others on theory
- communizing communities and establishing communist spaces
- countering fascist militias and attacking fascist organizations
- organizing and participating in labor strikes
If you would have started with step 1 already we wouldn't have to have this conversation.
There's your problem. Unions, the basic building block of all leftist politics, are nonexistent in America. All we have here are a bunch of idpol groups which all have long lists of bourgeois patrons who would take their money away if they started organizing the working class.
Shouldve done something when Obama was in power, DRONING EVERYONE
Infact this is a joke compared to protests during Obama and that didnt achieve anything either
Activism in the first world is more or less pointless at this point to be honest. The best thing Americans can do is vote for far left or far right wing parties in order to destroy their center-left parties and organizations. That way WWIII will start and America will be completely obliterated.
Better late than never.
Not yet. The problem with activists is that they have made enemies with the guards of power–the cops, soldiers, etc. The state needs to be defanged. The reason the Russian revolution succeeded was because the guards of power were successfully radicalized by the actions of the state and if that weakness is exploited by activism, especially in the coming capitalist crash and WW3, we will have a revolution facing us.
I'll just leave this here
FUCK OFF RADICALS, MAY DAY BELONGS TO US AND OUR FLAGS.
Hudson Valley is in LA?! Hot diggity damn.
...
leftcoms will do it tbh
Intolerable as always.
why not in the deindustrialized rust belt or coal country
Neck yourself
they have no other way to analyze anything except through the lens of 2016 spectacle
100% agreed. Also, some of the younger folks on here might not remember this: en.wikipedia.org
The largest protest event in human history. This did absolutely nothing to stop the Iraq war.
As you said, the means of production need to be seized. Nothing less.
was done by Indian workers last year
For the same reason why did not make any big marches when Dems were in power, they are all latent liberals.
Thats right but protests are still a very good sign, and unlike before, there is now an administration without the veil of any sort of decency. It is harder to squash opposition now, and it is a good start. The Russian Revolution started with protests after all, it is not enough by any means, but it is a necessary step.

t. Leftcom in February of 1917

You do this at a protest dumbfuck.
Lifestylism.
Puny fascist militias are nothing compared to the fascist state of the USA.
Agreed, this is important! However, unions are not an end in and of themselves. A pro-war, pro-neoliberalism union is a cancer just like any other facet of the bourgeois state. We must have unions that adhere to Marxist theory.
STUPID NIGGERTARIANS, HOW DARE YOU ENGAGE IN BOURGEOISE FASCIST ACTIVISM. DON'T YOU KNOW THAT DOING ANYTHING AT ALL IS FUCKING COUNTER REVOLUTIONARY?!??!?!?!121
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
But I am a leftcom.
