I strongly want to see more radical action like yesterday but that doesn’t mean i think less radical elements are worthy of scorn.
I don’t think that “no that’s not enough” is the attitude to have, i like “yes and also more”. Fascists can ignore peaceful demonstrations and kill radicals but with both it’s harder to do either.
When we have the organization to do something. You know a great way to organize? Meeting up with thousands of like-minded people in one location with a common goal.
You don’t go to protests because protests will solve things. You go to protests because that’s where the people you can organize with are.
I understand feeling helpless and wanting to do something. But, as others have said (some nicely, some less so), jumping to revolution is not the answer
Large scale mainstream demonstrations are both necessary and not sufficient for deposing the regime.
So when do we do something about this?
Guess we’ll just wait a few years and then do nothing when they take a 3rd term.
