Today in Labor History June 7, 1788: Residents of Grenoble, France, tossed roof tiles and junk down upon royal troops during the Day of the Tiles. This was one of the first events of the French Revolution. Tensions had been rising because of poor harvests, poverty and hunger. To make matters worse, the aristocracy and the church continued to collect royalties from the peasants and refused to do anything to help alleviate their misery. On the morning of June 7, men and women began marching through the streets of Grenoble, with sticks and rocks, axes and metal bars. They took over the cathedral and rang the bells, which drew in peasants from the countryside. When the navy attacked a 75-year-old man, the people began ripping up the streets. They climbed to the rooftops and began throwing tiles and other projectiles at the soldiers below. They forced the politicians to flee.

@yeahyeahyens @stefanmuelller @tazgetroete Leute, Ihr seid geschichtsvergessen. #Links im Sinne der 1968er bedeutet sexuelle Revolution hin zur sexuellen Anarchie. "Wer zweimal mit derselben pennt, gehört schon zum Establishment!" Ihr könnt euch nicht auf die Schultern der Kommune I stellen und dann laut schreien, dass der STAAT die Frauen beschützen soll. Klar könnt ihr den Begriff links umdefinieren, aber bitte nicht denen absprechen, die vor euch da waren.

Today in Labor History June 4, 1932: Chilean politicians and the military carried out a coup d'etat, installing Marmaduke Grove, who declared Chile a "socialist republic." However, workers were given no means to participate. The Communist Party and many unions opposed the new government because it was run by the military and not by the workers. However, the “socialist” government did temporarily halt evictions and ordered the “Caja de Crédito Popular” to return tools and clothes that workers had pawned there. They also pardoned everyone who participated in the Sailors' mutiny of 1931, when enlisted men rebelled against their officers and the state. Furthermore, they provided free meals to the unemployed. Twelve days later, the military ended the "workers republic." That same year, Farabundo Marti led a short-lived, but successful communist revolution of indigenous peasants in El Salvador. It was violently suppressed by General Martinez a few months later in La Matanza, a genocide of up to 40,000 mostly indigenous people. Martinez then became the first head of state to officially recognize Hitler as leader of Germany.

Today in Labor History June 4, 1919: Trotsky banned the 4th Ukrainian Congress of Free Soviets with his Order #1824. He also sent troops to destroy the Rosa Luxemburg Commune near Provkovski, and declared the Ukrainian anarchist insurgent Nestor Makhno an outlaw. The Free Territory within Ukraine, also known as Makhnovia (after Nestor Makhno) lasted from 1918 to 1921. It was a stateless, anarchist society and it was defended by Makhno’s Revolutionary Insurrectionary Army (AKA the Black Army). Roughly 7 million people lived in the area. The peasants who lived there refused to pay rent to the landowners and seized the estates and livestock of the church, state and private landowners, setting up local committees to manage them and share them among the various villages and communes of the Free State.

Eli Merritt, a political historian at Vanderbilt University and author of a book entitled Disunion Among Ourselves: The Perilous Politics of the American Revolution, joins this episode of The New Abnormal to share what would cause a civil war today, and no spoilers but it relates to Marjorie Taylor Greene’s succession wish. Merritt also tells TNA podcast co-host Danielle Moodie three reasons why the Founding Fathers were supportive of slavery when they could have phased out the practice much earlier (besides racism) and how their reasons for keeping it ties back to what’s going on today.

#History shows how to stave it off.
"The long history of human society compiled in our database suggests that America’s current economy is so lucrative for the ruling elites that achieving fundamental reform might require a violent #revolution. But we have reason for hope. It is not unprecedented for a ruling class—with adequate pressure from below—to allow for the nonviolent reversal of elite overproduction. But such an outcome requires elites to sacrifice their near-term self-interest for our long-term collective interests. At the moment, they don’t seem prepared to do that."

Today in Labor History June 3, 1910: U.S. anarchists formed the Francisco Ferrer Association in Harlem, one year after the wrongful execution of anarchist educator Francisco Ferrer in Spain. The organization founded libertarian socialist schools throughout the U.S. based on the principles of Ferrer’s Modern Schools. The American Modern Schools were designed to counter the discipline, formality and regimentation of traditional American schools. Regular working-class people ran the schools for the children of workers. They sought to abolish all forms of authority, including educational, with the goal of creating a society based on free association and free thought. They emphasized learning by doing, as well as crafts and reading. They avoided rigid curricula, rote memorization and regimentation, as well as rewards and punishments. They also believed that learning was a life-long process that never ended. Therefore, parents and other adults were encouraged to participate in the operation of the schools and to attend evening and weekend lectures. Some of the speakers at these lectures included Clarence Darrow, Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, Jack London, Upton Sinclair, and Man Ray. The schools also served as cultural centers for the promotion of revolutionary unionism, free speech, sexual liberation, and anti-militarism.

A short piece from Che Guevara, "Published in *Cuba Socialista* magazine in September 1962," about cadre development, recently pushed out by redsails.org.
https://redsails.org/el-cuadro/
I found this paragraph the most insightful, detailing four distinct groups of necessary cadres (political, military, economic, and administrative):
>To assure the triumph and the total consolidation of the revolution, we have to develop different types of cadres: the political cadre who will be the base of our mass organisations, and who will orient them through the action of the Partido Unido de la Revolucion Socialista (United Party of the Socialist Revolution; PURS). We are already beginning to establish these bases with the national and provincial Schools of Revolutionary Instruction and with studies and study groups at all levels. We also need military cadres; to achieve that, we can utilise the selection the war made among our young combatants, since there are still many living, who are without great theoretical knowledge but were tested under fire — tested under the most difficult conditions of the struggle, with a fully proven loyalty toward the revolutionary regime with whose birth and development they have been so intimately connected since the first guerrilla fights of the Sierra. We should also develop economic cadres who will dedicate themselves specifically to the difficult tasks of planning and the tasks of the organization of the socialist state in these moments of creation. It is necessary to work with the professionals, urging the youth to follow one of the more important technical careers in an effort to give science that tone of ideological enthusiasm which will guarantee accelerated development. And, it is imperative to create an administrative team, which will know how to take advantage of the specific technical knowledge of others and to co-ordinate and guide the enterprises and other organisations of the state to bring them into step with the powerful rhythm of the revolution.

Today in Labor History June 1, 1925: The Shanghai General Strike began as part of an ongoing labor insurgency occurring throughout China's industrial cities. May 30, police opened fire on protesters, killing at least 9 and sparking the General Strike. In the riots and protests that followed, up to 200 more died.

Today in Labor History June 1, 1914: 80 U.S. militia men refused to board a train as reinforcements for the U.S. invasion of Veracruz, Mexico. The U.S. ultimately occupied the region for six months because President Huerta refused to provide the U.S. with a 21-gun salute as an apology for arresting nine U.S. sailors. More significantly, Veracruz was an important oil port. Germany and Britain had been battling for its control. The occupation gave the U.S. greater influence on the still unfolding Mexican Revolution, as well as the growing tensions in Europe. 21 US troops died in the invasion and occupation, while slaughtering over 320 Mexicans.

Today in Labor History June 1, 1906: The bloody Cananea copper miners' strike began in Sonora, Mexico. The miners were demanding 5 pesos a day and an 8-hour workday, commensurate with what the U.S. citizens who were working side-by-side with them were earning. As many as 100 miners were killed in the strike, mostly by U.S. citizens working for the company. Although they were forced back to work without winning any of their demands, it contributed to the general unrest leading up to the Mexican Revolution.
The anarchist, Ricardo Flores Magón, along with members of his Partido Liberal Mexicana, organized a brigade of revolutionaries, who traveled from Arizona to the Cananea copper mines with the goal of exterminating all Americans employed there. The Arizona Rangers captured several of them. Magón and many others were extradited to Tombstone, Arizona, charged with violating U.S. neutrality laws, and imprisoned until 1910. After this, the Magonistas conquered parts of Baja California, including Tijuana, during the Mexican Revolution.

Today in Labor History May 30, 1814: Russian anarchist militant and philosopher Mikhail Bakunin was born. In Paris, in the 1840’s, he met Marx and Proudhon, who were early influences on him. He was later expelled from France for opposing Russia’s occupation of Poland. In 1849, the authorities arrested him in Dresden for participating in the Czech rebellion of 1848. They deported him back to Russia, where the authorities imprisoned him and then exiled him to Siberia in 1857. During his imprisonment, he lost all his teeth due to scurvy. However, he eventually escaped and made it to England.
In 1868, he joined the International Working Men’s Association, leading the rapidly growing anarchist faction. He argued for federations of self-governing workplaces and communes to replace the state. This was in contrast to Marx, who argued for the state to help bring about socialism. However, he agreed with Marx’s class analysis. Nevertheless, in 1872, they expelled Bakunin from the International.
Bakunin died in 1876 in Bern, Switzerland. He influenced anarchist movements throughout the world, but especially in Italy and Spain. He also influenced the IWW, Noam Chomsky, Peter Kropotkin, Herbert Marcuse, and Emma Goldman.

Today in Labor History May 29, 1881: Chinese educator, nationalist revolutionary and anarchist Li Shizeng was born. He led the anarchist Jinde Hui group (Society for Progress and Virtue), with Wu Zhihui, & Zhang Ji. He also tried unsuccessfully to turn the Guomindang into an anarchist organization. Indeed, he is known as one of the four anti-Communist elders of the Chinese Nationalist Party. In his youth, he earned graduate degrees in chemistry and biology in France, and opened the first European tofu factory.

Louise Michel
Today in Labor History May 29, 1830: Anarchist school teacher Louise Michel was born. Also known as the Red Virgin, she was a leader of the Paris Commune. During the Bloody Week, the authorities executed 30,000 men, women and children. They forced Michel to turn herself in by threatening to kill her mother, then deported her to New Caledonia, where she taught both the children of colonists and the indigenous people of New Caledonia. Her struggle against French colonialism and her support for the indigenous people is remembered today in their local museum of anarchism.
In 1880, the French gave amnesty to commune prisoners and allowed her back into the country. Many of those prisoners could not find work and were starving. She helped set up soup kitchens to feed them and devoted herself to writing about strikes and worker protests. On Mach 9, 1883, she led a demonstration through Paris. During the march, starving workers looted bakeries and stole bread. They arrested Michel and sentenced her to six years solitary confinement. Two years after being released, a would-be assassin shot her behind her ear. During the trial, she defended the would-be assassin, arguing that he had been misled by an evil society. She died on January 9, 1905, due in part to the bullet that remained lodged in her skull.

Today in Labor History May 25, 1911: Mexican President Porfirio Díaz resigned after a popular uprising (the Mexican Revolution). Diaz had been dictator for thirty years and was despised by the overwhelming majority of Mexicans. He took power in 1867 by overthrowing Archduke Maxmillian of Austria. As dictator, he opened up Mexico to imperialist exploitation to a degree not seen with any of his predecessors. For example, oil production went up from 10,000 barrels a day to 13 million between 1901 and 1913. Mexicans rose up against him in the revolution of 1911, led by Pancho Villa, Emiliano Zapata and Madero, and the anarchist Magonistas in Baja California.

Cette étude est le fruit de 'expérience politique de 'auteur aux heures sombres des luttes d'indépendance en Afrique en général, et au Cameron en particulier. C'est l'analyse du contexte politique et stratégique qui a entouré l'avènement du Cameron à la souveraineté nationale et internationale.
@jilleduffy I looked into it. It's just that all my clients tend to be older folks who have ancient versions of Word, so I have to be sure I can be reverse compatible with them. But I also need Outlook to not be so wonky, as it increasingly seems to be getting (I'm sure by design). And MS is no longer servicing the version I have. So rock and a hard place, all of us in the middle. It's sickening to be so dependent on corporations that do not seem to have our best interests in mind. #revolution
Sir Christopher Clark, einer der bedeutendsten Historiker unserer Zeit, findet, dass die Bezeichnung "gescheitert" bei der #Revolution von 1848/49 zu kurz greift.

Why would anyone in their right mind support a country that just killed more than a million of its own citizens?
The US just killed more than a million Americans, which is why I no longer support the US.
After a very long life of loving my country, I'll likely support the next viable non-violent revolution that comes along in the US...

En décembre 1931, l'auteur débarque à Alger. Il a dix-huit ans. Alors qu'un vent glacial balaie les quais, il aperçoit les dockers algériens nus pieds, vêtus de loques... Il reçoit un choc qui va le marquer pour toute sa vie.
Jamais et nulle part, il ne pourra accepter la misère physique et morale impose aux peuples coloniaux.
Dès sa sortie de l'Ecole Normale de Bouzaréa, en 1933, il contacte de junes ouvriers agricoles algériens,... des montagnards de l'Atlas blidéen... Il poursuit son expérience à Oran, Annaba, en Kabylie, toujours en compagnie de ses camarades communistes.

#OTD in 1789, opening of the “États généraux”, or Estates General, summoned by king Louis XVI. They are summoned to solve the many crises that France faces then. It will have dramatic consequences for the monarchy. #revolution #France #history #histodons
What are the Estates general you ask? It's an assembly of all 3 Estates (clergy, nobility & commoners) where they can vote on important matters. Each estate gets one vote. The nobility with its 1% and the clergy with its 2% each have as much voting power as the other 97%.
The Third Estate, the common people, come prepared. They want better representation, elected representatives, a Constitution, the abolishment of many privileges and for the First and Second Estate to pay their fair share of taxation. It’s more more a battle than a meeting.
The revolutionary cogs start turning. It will eventually lead to the French Revolution and everything that ensued. To learn more about this, listen to our episode. 👇

Some US senators claim that they need 60 votes to overturn the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision which reversed Roe. They don’t. They can do it with a simple majority.
- None of the justices who voted to overturn Roe got 60 votes in their confirmation hearings when they were appointed to the court.
- If you add up all of the confirmation votes by senators for justices who favored keeping Roe, it totals more votes than those from senators who voted for justices who opposed Roe.
Right now, there are 55 senators who claim to be pro-choice. They could overturn the SCOTUS decision today if they wanted to.
NEWS FLASH: They don’t want to overturn the SCOTUS decision and make abortion legal.
They are lying to you.

"Assata Shakur fut, dans les années 60 et 70, militante du Black Panther Party et de l'Armée de Libération Noire. Elle a connu le formidable bouillonnement d'une époque de révoltes et d'espérances pour les Noirs des États-Unis, comme la répression. De sa tendre enfance à son exil à Cuba, ses souvenirs se structurent autour du récit d'un emprisonnement de six ans. Une exceptionnelle leçon d'histoire populaire et d'engagement dans laquelle Assata dresse un portrait sans fard de l'oppression raciale et de la violence capitaliste aux États-Unis. Cette autobiographie est une lettre d'amour au peuple noir ainsi qu'à tous les opprimés. Une source d'inspiration inaltérable pour celles et ceux qui, à travers le monde, exigent la dignité et la justice."
It looks like we should expect more extreme weather in the coming year or so, but if we have reached a point where the oceans are going to be less effective at absorbing heat and greenhouse gases, then things up on dry land are probably going to start progressing much more quickly.
That means that simply ending fossil fuel use, while absolutely essential, is not enough. We must do better to prepare for a hotter planet.

"From 1959-60, in the context of the Cold War, during the establishment of the neocolonial bourgeoisie and in the face of France's obstinacy in refusing the UPC its rightful place in Kamerun, asking if the UPC was communist could only have one revolutionary answer: Yes it was, since its leaders were already talking explicitly about socialism as the end goal of the UPC's struggle. Read:
“The UPC follows the example of China and Indochina, and seeks to build a socialist society modeled on that of People's China.”
This is what the highest official of the UPC [Moumié] said, addressing a young executive and designating without ambiguity the socialist horizon as the objective to be achieved in Kamerun.
@futurebird Thanks for articulating this so well. Can relate. I also remember thinking #Adbusters was a world-saver. Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then. But hey, I still think the #revolution is at hand. 😎

But AI promises solutions to existing problems in a vast range of fields. This is not a solution looking for a problem.

The end of the world well deserves anarchy
Given the perpetual chaos of the moment, it is difficult to imagine how the situation will evolve. In France, what is certain is that the rejection of the motion of censure is far from discouraging. What remains to be hoped is that we do not miss such a revolutionary impulse to extend its scope well beyond the French pensions alone.
For it is not only in the streets of France that a revolution is underway. It is not only against a politician or a "fuse" reform that is about to blow. It's all over the world, starting in people's heads, in the city districts, on the islands and in the outback: in demonstrations, but also in life, work and struggle collectives, in associations and unions. To stop the machine: it is against an absolute crushing that we need a general strike.
Obviously, the reality is more complex, but already the awareness of all the stakes of our time is modifying, somehow, our social behavior. In any case, radical aspirations are spreading, in the sense of a return to the roots: here, "no longer waste your life earning it"; there, "woman, life, freedom"; and so many others elsewhere. It now remains to be seen how much these aspirations will be in solidarity with each other, without maintaining a supremacist order. In France, as in the whole of the West, it is essential to spread the fires of revolt against toxic policies and ideas: reactionary and security-oriented, xenophobic and racist, (cis)sexist and queerphobic, validist and ecocidal. These policies here that fit so well with those of the oppressors there to maintain their authority.
The influence of the extreme right is terrifying and may well be translated all the more strongly into institutions as they feel all powerful in the economic, executive and legislative branches. And even in our current front, great fractures are hidden: the apparent solidarity should not be only that of the nationals. A dead end in which the bulk of the Yellow Vests movement has sunk with a quasi-nationalist lexicon, translated into objectives, slogans and symbols often republican and Franco-French, despite some internationalist inspirations. In fact, we have missed an anarchic movement that is globally contagious: the covid will have been so more than us.
It is obvious: the necessity and the revolutionary potential are worldwide. We cannot ignore the global stakes: the planetary plundering, by the planes of the rich walking their wallets, also allows the precarious maintenance of our privileges. The French standard of living, including our rights, are not only the fruit of past struggles but also of the exploitation of the Third World and of all living things.
But by making the proletariat more and more precarious, including in the rich countries, the capitalist regimes have enough to make us emerge with an international class consciousness: what our governments want to impose on us is not even up to the level of the violence suffered by the workers of the global South since the colonization. These are the same people that we ignore even in our own neighborhood today, who risk or even lose their lives at the borders by ultimate reflex or who suffer on the spot, by choice or default.
So given the number of reasons to be angry in this world and the masses that we are in action, there is reason to dream of streets lined with all the colors, all the languages of the world to at least say it proudly all together: we are here!
Ou... La fin du monde mérite bien l'anarchie.
Vu le chaos perpétuel du moment, difficile d'imaginer comment la situation va évoluer. En France, ce qui est sûr, c'est que le rejet de la motion de censure est loin de nous décourager. Ce qu'il reste à espérer, c'est qu'on ne rate pas un tel élan révolutionnaire pour étendre sa portée bien au-delà des seules retraites françaises.
Car ce n'est pas que dans les rues de l'hexagone qu'une révolution est en cours. Ce n'est pas seulement contre un'e politicard'e ou une réforme "fusible" à deux doigts de sauter. C'est à travers le monde, à commencer dans les têtes, dans les quartiers des villes, sur les îles et dans les cambrousses : en manifs, mais aussi en collectifs de vie, de travail et de lutte, en assos et en syndicats. Pour enrayer la machine : c'est contre un broyage absolu qu'il faut une grève générale.
Évidemment, la réalité est plus complexe mais déjà la conscience de tous les enjeux de notre époque modifient, tant bien que mal, nos comportements sociaux. En tous cas les aspirations radicales se répandent, au sens du retour à la racine : ici, "ne plus perdre sa vie à la gagner" ; là-bas, "femme, vie, liberté" ; et tant d'autres ailleurs. Il reste maintenant à voir combien ces aspirations seront solidaires les unes avec les autres, sans maintenir un ordre suprémaciste. En fRance comme dans tout l'occident, il est indispensable d'étendre les feux de la révolte contre les politiques et idées toxiques : réactionnaires et sécuritaires, xénophobes et racistes, (cis)sexistes et queerphobes, validistes et écocidaires. Ces politiques ici qui s'accordent si bien avec celles des oppresseurs là-bas pour maintenir leur autorité.
L'influence des extrêmes-droites est terrifiante et risque bien de se traduire d'autant plus fort dans les institutions qu'elle se sentent toutes puissantes au sein des pouvoirs économiques, exécutifs et législatifs. Et même dans notre front actuel se dissimulent de grandes fractures : la solidarité apparente ne doit pas être que celle des nationaux. Une impasse dans laquelle s'est enfoncée le gros du mouvement des Gilets Jaunes avec un lexique quasi-nationaliste, traduit en objectifs, mots d'ordre et symboles républicains et franco-français, malgré quelques inspirations internationalistes. De fait, on est passé à côté d'un mouvement anarchique mondialement contagieux : le covid l'aura été plus que nous.
C'est une évidence : la nécessité et le potentiel révolutionnaires sont mondiaux. On ne peut pas ignorer les enjeux globaux : le saccage planétaire, par les avions des riches promenant leur portefeuille, permet aussi le maintien précaire de nos privilèges. Le standard de vie français, y compris nos droits, ne sont pas que le fruit de luttes passées mais aussi ceux de l'exploitation du tiers-monde et de l'ensemble du vivant.
Mais en précarisant toujours plus le prolétariat, y compris dans les pays riches, les régimes capitalistes ont de quoi faire émerger en nous une conscience de classe internationale : ce que nos gouvernements veulent nous imposer n'est même pas encore à la hauteur des violences encaissées par les travailleur-euse-s du Sud global depuis la colonisation. Ces mêmes personnes que nous ignorons jusqu'à notre propre voisinage aujourd'hui, qui risquent voire perdent leur vies aux frontières par ultime réflexe ou qui subissent sur place, par choix ou défaut.
Alors vu le nombre de raisons d'être furieux se dans ce monde et les masses que nous sommes en action, il y a de quoi rêver de rues tapissées de toutes les couleurs, de toutes les langues du monde pour au moins se le dire fièrement : on est là !
I don't think the #Revolution is ever going to arrive in such a way as to produce a clearly-defined “before” and “after.” It will be more like Tainter’s account of the "Fall" of Rome: a peeling-away, a progressive reallocation of resources, as first those at Empire's edge, and then people everywhere, realize late capitalism takes more from them than it’s ever given them back in return, make different choices accordingly, and see that they go unpunished.

Begun reading #Chokepoint #Capitalism by Rebecca Giblin and @pluralistic and it's interesting to see a very identifiable political thread in its blurb people- Adam Conover, Lawrence Lessig, Zephyr Teachout, Jimmy Wales.
These people, who I would, personally, characterize as left-liberals much of the time, provide an interesting anchor point in the political and economic movement for #socialjustice. Some of them have gained an amount of reach and are viewed as experts or at the very least accessible communicators.
In the introduction we see a point of tension in the dialectic between "the minimum demand" (mild, almost performative reform) and "the maximum demand" (#revolution from the root to a different system). #Trotsky is known for the transitional program, but *Reform and Revolution* by #Luxemburg, a bunch of #Kautsky. It's a very long current in the camp of people that want to replace the relations of society and production.
Fascists obviously have used critiques of capitalism in order to gain a political audience, but Germany during the Third Reich reminds one a lot of the kind of incestuous relationship of dominant industry and the political elite.
The question is basically, can what is in many ways a deep overhaul of the #administrative state, something everyone thinks of when they think of Sen. Elizabeth #Warren, really possible? There has to be enough "democracy in the system" to get to the end point, and the US in particular has both issues of #federalism and a federal judiciary that despises the administrative state. Also changes such as relate to monopoly, monopsony, and competition, may in some cases lack what I think is the core way that #reformism can be built upon- stickiness.
I mean essentially that universal benefit programs, well funded, are the most difficult to reverse from the free-market right. They have a very large supportive population that melds the poor, working class, and aspects of the petty bourgeoisie and professionals together in common interests.
Targeting, as is done in neoliberalism, creates inter-class conflict among those not in the elite, and can be stoked additionally by #race, #citizenship, and other factors. Neoliberalism by design when it does #welfare makes programs extremely brittle and easy to defund.
So even though the Tories have had two decade and a half long reigns in power since 1979, and Tony Blair was thoroughly a center-right New Labour PM, the #NHS has stubbornly stuck around even in its crisis state. It has resiliency.
But having enough #democracy in the system is difficult. We can look at Castillo in #Peru and #Boric in Chile, who both rode into power promising a fundamentally new, inclusive, and anti-neoliberal constitution. Actually getting through entrenched power structures, a right-wing #media apparatus, and the eternal riddle of many aspects of a #constitution being popular but at a referendum it adds up to less.
The phrase "#Chile will be the tomb of #neoliberalism imagines an end to neoliberalism- #AMLO talks about this a lot whatever you might think of his time in power. But how do you get over the hump? How do you dispatch it, and make sure it doesn't return? How do you hold sustained power so the capitalists can't just reverse all that can be done? How can genuine democracy and social justice come to fruition?
I don't have a lot of answers, but I appreciate how much was sparked just in the introduction of Chokepoint Capitalism
