Go salt a Starbucks or something. We can't be wasting the few of us there are on senseless adventurism.

Whether or not you work with the IWW or any other organization you're going to be following a similar path of mapping, identifying leaders, and building an organizing committee. Don't wait for an organizer to do it for you because they won't.

You can find info about this stuff online but if there's anything I can do to help feel free to ask. I was ghosted by a large union and it sucks but it doesn't mean we stop.

He tried to make a case that Marx was antisemitic and then repeats Trotskyist talking points unnecessarily. If you're not familiar with the history though it's not a bad intro.

Anyone that thinks a US fleet will be able to subdue Ansar Allah almost certainly didn't know what Yemen was until this year.

"We support the Russian Federation's opposition to US imperialism. We oppose their reactionary government including the state suppression of lgbtq+ people, minority nationalities and ethnic groups, etc. Using these issues as cudgels for US/NATO imperialism hurts all people in Russia, including oppressed minorities, and undermines the progressive nature of those liberation struggles in that country."

Under the dictatorship of the proletariat firearms would have to be restricted so that reactionaries could not access them. As the transition to communism progressed there would eventually be a point where weapons wouldn't need to be controlled. Under capitalism gun control, like all laws of the bourgeois dictatorship, will only be used to maintain the supremacy of the bourgeois class.

Accelerationism is petty bourgeois nonsense from people that don't want to contend with the struggle of organizing as leftists in the imperial core. It's also used as a boogeyman by "reformists" to juxtapose themselves against something that isn't Marxism.

My few experiences with Trots:

  1. I tried to talk to some SA people, all they wanted to do was sell a newspaper, even as I was asking about their platform and what joining might look like. Once I bought the paper they were a little bit friendlier but that was all I needed to experience to not want to be involved.

  2. Two different Trotskyist groups injecting themselves into every vaguely left thing in town. One of the groups was straight up disruptive while the other one would just try to recruit people.

  3. A Trot that somehow snuck into a union organizer position ghosting me and my coworkers when we tried to organize. I found out he quit from someone else in the labor movement a few months later.

  4. Over the last year I've been introduced to a number of people who had interest in an ideology that is a weird blend of Trotskyism and anarchism and most of those people and their ideas are absolutely cursed.

Didn't Henry Hakamäki mention on Guerilla History that the people at Verso had been extremely rude to him and his co-translator when they discussed publishing their translation of this text? Seems like a cheap shot at them.
