[…]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.

Here’s a thought We all know the weeks and years quote from Lenin but do you think that you are ready to be in those weeks? Further, do you think others around you are ready to be in those weeks? If the answer is no, then we will never see those weeks.

Hey OP can I repost this article on my site? Will credit you ofc https://erikhoudini.com/houdini_blog/
That military victory against true guerrillas is possible seems doubtful on the basis of modern experience, barring the use of methods approaching genocide,
War of the Flea, pg 26
“Clear and hold” operations, patterned on the French oil-slick technique, failed to remedy the situation, for the obvious reasons. The “clear and hold” strategy is always doomed to failure because the government, while strong enough to clear any given area temporarily, cannot hold many such areas without dangerously scattering its forces. In the face of a determined “clear and hold” drive, the guerrillas simply withdraw and redouble their activities elsewhere.
War of the Flea, pg 86
All reactionaries are paper tigers. In appearance, the reactionaries are terrifying, but in reality, they are not so powerful. From a long-term point of view, it is not the reactionaries but the people who are powerful.

Take the Ultra pill, reject reformism. You have been watching a force of teenagers in adidas track suits with RPGs handling the most well funded and well equip military in the world, in urban warfare. You should be taking notes, Gaza is the climate plan, Cop City = Gaza Strip.
This type of thing is something that legitimately disturbs me and concerns me because I’ve written some pretty heavy-handed shit on my own platform and I’m pulling in you know four to seven thousand views visits a week, which aint much but I get a little paranoid about that
I’ve brought this concern up to some comrades in the past. Like, hey, you know, I live alone. I don’t really have a lot of comrades IRL. You know, putting my voice out there, just something to think about. And usually their response is, “it’s not that deep. It’s not that serious. You’re being paranoid, or they don’t do that type of thing anymore.” Which concerns me because some people don’t realize what happened to our previous leaders. Or have we become so comfortable within the system that we forget that we’re against it in the first place?
I’m not saying my reach is some fantastic amount of reach, but they visited people over less, and I honestly wouldn’t even know what to do if the FBI came knocking on the door, they’d probably shoot my dog.
Insanity. “Write your representatives” The representatives in question:
Here’s what we should do:
take the video, when he pauses to think, cut in footage of the victims, then bring the main video back when he talks again. There’s so many horrific videos that can be used for this. The juxaposition would be jarring.
Read Revolutionary Morality
Yeah, death squads would absolutely be spun up. Keep the military from getting their hands dirty.

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.
Something I consider when I think about, you know, a potential PPW, Party Rockin’ type scenario, whether it be in the US, France, or elsewhere, Germany, what have you, they’re depleting the tools of war at a rapid pace. What are they going to do when they run out of these things? All reactionaries are paper tigers, baby.
Furthermore, we’re currently watching a group of young men and women battling it out with the most well-equipped military force in the world, backed by the largest empire in the world, dudes in fucking tracksuits, with flip-flops and an RPG, handling business in a corridor that won’t look too much different than Santa Fe, New Mexico. Really makes you think.
And I have a feeling, the IDF’s operational tactics, the loose goose, shoot em if it moves, carpet bomb em to nothing strategy, it wouldn’t work in Atlanta, it wouldn’t work in New Orleans. Something to think about.
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)
