Lol, u quote all these things and no concrete path forward is suggested in all of that. Just a bunch of patriotic individuals saying the same patriotic things we all here have known them to say, but its not even any of how they went about trying to furthertheir cause. Youve not said a relevant word here. Maybe learn some more about those figures u reference.
As stated, im here trying to spur leftists towards every course of action available to them, and u get mad bc i dont deny voting as important. Your ulterior motives are clear, im not wasting any more of my time on u today. I hope ive wasted time of urs youd spend being a negative little nancy on lemmy trying to spread doom and gloom instead of hope, solidarity, and action. But im sure solidarity is a dirty word in putins russia.
Lol, well inform me then, how did they go about it? Because the history I was taught was that they demanded it from those with power, not by quietly accepting the options provided for them but holding hostage what those people hold dear.
You listed all the important leftists praxis except the most important one: effective direct action. Protest. Strikes. Civil disobedience.
That comment i pasted above for u included direct action. Obviously i support that. Why wouldnt i? As ive said, all avenues
Direct action is only effective if it threatens to harm the interests of those with power.
It hasnt escaped me that you haven't named an effective direct action yourself.
