Also, whatever you think of this action (I happen to be against it because it's illegal.), acknowledge that mobilizing this many people is the result of invisible forms of organizing, not neccesarily legible to the "left" whose traditions cross-polinate with the professionalized activism of ngos, labor unions and political parties.

It's just a shame that it was expressed this way. We need major social democratic reforms and avenues for disenfranchised people to exercise political power so these kinds of desperate actions don't disrupt our lives.

The provocative title is a way to call attention to the ways that overseas reporting and domestic reporting on social conflict differ. A detournament of imperialist propaganda if you will.

I don't think it's productive and takes away from the political message that should be focused on about police brutality, but I'm equally not going out of my way to defend these huge corporations either.

???

Anyway, I think this isn't the most productive approach but I support it anyway.

While I'm of the view that "hell yeah this rocks". I would remiss to point out that this isn't really a militant action. When George Floyd was killed, looters and militants not only broke into target and looted it, but also distributed their gains to the rest of the community. You also have individuals livestreaming (incriminating yourself and hundreds other) for the gram, for views and likes. Militant action should be planned, with no way to collect geofenced data of your wherabouts.

If you wanna be communist and a "criminal" become a smarter criminal. Otherwise, there's legit no point. The state should have a hard time finding you and bringing you to court. Don't give them an easy win by getting caught and your mugshot taken.

Wow they dropped charges against the pig who killed that guy within 5 seconds of exiting his car and then proceeded to lie about it on the report?

Probably one of the most egregious on tape pig murders ive seen in a while. I am mildly surprised they dropped it that quick.

Kill the pig. Kill the judge. Burn their homes and raid their stations. Fuck every cop.
