Got *dammit* I'm tired of alleged anti-fascists telling other anti-fascists that their action won't work.

Wake the fuck up, people.

1) *No* single action will be enough.
2) *Every* single action counts.

As far as I'm concerned, wasting time arguing with people on your own side about what is the one true action is *counter*-revolutionary behavior.

Stop cos-playing amateur-hour armchair analyst and start taking actions and supporting the actions of others.

Vote? Yes.
Simple sabotage? Yes.
Take it to court? Yes.
Write or act or sing or make? Yes.
March in the streets? Yes.
General strike? Yes.
Record? Yes.

And countless others I can't think of right now.

*None* of these will be enough.

Every *one* of them will be a part of it.

Resist!

There's an angle from which it is comical how many folks responded by 'splaining why their favorite action is the best action and other actions are inferior.

Perhaps the greatest indictment of our worldwide educational systems: the extremely poor quality of reading comprehension.

@GeePawHill Also the idea that "hey, I have collected some traffic cones and signs and bottle caps and if some of us got together we could do some creative things, what do you think?????"

@GeePawHill Yeah, the purity tests and infighting have got to effing stop. Every effort counts!

@arisummerland @GeePawHill I agree, but expect the other side to paint you for all the stupid actions others did. And possibly false flag stupidities.

Ernst von Rath, Reichskristallnacht, and Herschel Grynszpan come to mind. As a classical example.

But yes, infighting is a problem, especially on the left, and I really don't have a solution for that.

If you could sum it up in one action, it would be solidarity. But that alone is a whole bunch of actions.

@jaykass @GeePawHill “talk to people”

I was surprised this morning by how many people I talked to don’t know there’s an action planned for this weekend.

@grammasaurus @jaykass @GeePawHill A few weekend events in my area were planned just yesterday.
This is a fluid situation. Talk it up! Spread the word!

@jaykass One act of solidarity: Make noise, so your neighbour will know theyr'e not alone. A kind smile, a lapel-pin or a march is an act of solidarity.

Show threadᴮᵉⁿ ᴿᵒʸᶜᵉVOTE IN THE PRIMARIESJan 9

@GeePawHill

anyone who thinks all you have to do is vote is a fool

but by that very same token, anyone who insists loudly on doing everything *except* vote:

you should view such voices with deep suspicion as to whether or not they are a real leftist

agent provocateurs are real

voting is just a tool in a repertoire. a tactic amongst other tactics. even if just for vandalism/ sabotage

so for anyone to forsake it with dramatic displays of emotion?

don't you find that rather interesting?
