I mean I’ve felt for years that faculty need to accept that shared governance is a sham to stop us from truly organizing.

no I wanna actually win. kissing Biden ass will not lead to winning. being soft about colonialism and genocide will not lead to winning. AOC reveals the compromises you make when you attempt to integrate yourself into the power of the ruling class rather than threaten it

Right! Like ok, do yall know what the students are protesting and setting up encampments for to begin with? I get it looks “respectable” at this stage to denounce violence against students, but this is bigger than that. Always has been. Your support is needed for even more.

Ditto. I would add the pic on the left devoid of genuine active membership in a formal left org that is committed to either realignment or an independent left party is bad organizing and political practice & empowers Dems while weakening left electoral projects

people be like 'danny is allergic to power'—the actual point is that we want to build a party by and for the working class. democracy is what we're fighting for, so ordinary people can wield power and take control of their lives without having to supplicate the ruling class.

People acting like they don’t understand these protests are being unbelievably silly. Effective organizing requires identifying the people/entities more powerful than you who you’re most likely to be able to influence. For college students, that’s always been their universities.

The Italian communist Antonio Gramsci left behind a rich and complicated legacy of thought on socialist strategy for transforming the world. Historian Michael Denning guides us through the great — and misunderstood — thinker. jacobin.com/2023/06/michae…
It has been decades since we have seen the moral and material power of a trade union leader who combines both radical vision and successful working-class mobilization. Shawn Fain is that figure for our time.

People hate AOC bc her enormous popularity validates the idea that participating in electoral politics can grow the socialist movement. She also reveals the compromises winning power entails. Some people wanna go back to being a tiny club that’s right all the time. They’re wrong.
