Yes I should have put an asterisk there for Foucault at least. I have had many fights with faux-left Foucault appreciators that use him to avoid, e.g. having an anti-imperialist stance. I was listing him just for the context: it is good to know his terms and ideas, despite his influence being negative and incorrect for practical organization, so that one can enter and participate in left discourse. I should have made that a category and added Trotsky to it.

Debord is a bit separated from them, though. His work is actually a quite gokd Marxist expansion on the analysis of capitalist society and it presents no distraction from the necessity of its removal.

lmao

“Still love the truck car though”

I present to you: the NGO-industrial complex.

All that money comes from somewhere and “the donors” expect influence for their cash.

It’s a good book but the people that need to read it are those already trying to organize but stuck in an ineffective “horizontalism” rut.

I gave you the specific, identifying terms for both things, you can easily look into them with a Google search. If you spend 5 minutes looking for each and come back and say you could not identify them, I will go fetch them for you.

I would recommend a mix of Marxist and anarchist founfational texts, media literacy snd historical texts, and modern summaries and topic-focused books. You can start wherever you’d like, but I usually recommend media literacy and history as they are immediately and widely useful and help open the door to the rest. So maybe an order like this to start:

• Blackshirts and Reds by Michael Parenti

• FAIR.org, the Citations Needed podcast, and Manufacturing Consent / Inventing Reality.

• The Jakarta Method

• A summary text of Marx’s Capital or two. Like Heinrich and then Michael Roberts’ counterpoints. Eventually, read Capital itself.

• Socialism, Utopian and Scientific and The Conditions of the Working Class by Engels.

• Texts around the October Revolution and contemporaries. Lenin vs. Kautsky, the formation of the Bolsheviks, histories around the timeline, Kropotkin, State and Revolution, Imperialism: the Highest Stage of Capitalism, What is to Be Done

• The basic Soviet canon, like Foundations of Leninism. Histories around the topic, like those of Losurdo.

• Major works by Emma Goldman, David Graeber, Crimethinc, Bookchin.

• Wretched of the Earth by Fanon.

• Pedagogy of the Oppressed by Friere.

• Fanshen and core Mao writings.

• Prison writings of Gramsci.

• Essential works by the French weirdos like Foucault and Debord.

That should set you up for the basics. Not joking - these are the basics that will allow you to communicate with the left and have a grasp of the analyses. There is much, much more to understand, and namely, none of what I’ve listed teaches how to organize or will make you sufficiently educated on the specific contexts in which we need organization. That is best done by joining an active socialist organization (not Trot and not a cult like Avakian stuff). This list is also low on topics of marginalization and combined struggle, which are important to read (e.g. Leslie Feinberg on trans liberation or du Bois on Pan Africanism), as it really is just the basics.

So what was Hunter doing in 2014?

From the title alone, that is lovely. It suggests that no major, general toxins contaminate the area.

I mean that is very funny but don’t tip your hand like that. Start with a low-key unionization attempt, which begins with small stakes list building actions like “anonymously” signing a petition (you use the list to initially gauge interrst and the outcome of the petition to gauge the stance of management and choose next steps).

First, give your lists to the DNC. Second, dismantle your grassroots campaign apparatus and leave everyone to fend for themselves as individuals with no organization to work with. Then sheepdog them to the Democrats so that Genocide Joe can do whatever he wants and no hint of resistance can be mainstreamed. Then tell people that you know how to organize and fight.

Anyways the title is correct but don’t listen to Sanders, he doesn’t organize jack. Instead, join a local socialist (or socialist-ish) organization and do your best to self-educate on socialism by reading key texts and humbling yourself as we are all taught false things that must be unlearned and replaced with correct historoes and depropagandized analysis.

The Biden admin + Canadian targetinh of Samidoun and the domestic forces have been increased throughout the admin via direct funding of cops and supplying with military equipment along with fighting to keep and expand Trump-era national guard deployments using the insurrection act.

The Biden admin is already going after Palestinian solidarity orgs and ramping up powers to use the military domestically.

Biden issued a blanket pardon starting in 2014. What was Hunter Biden doing in 2014 and how does this reflect on the idea of him simply passively getting “caught up” in something?

Biden is sharpening the knife that will be used against every other family while saving his crackhead failson.

Rules-based international order

Embrace petty bourgeouis class traitors and don’t fetishize the working class.

Whomst among us hasn’t been given cushy jobs we aren’t qualified for in corrupt Ukrainian companies by our dad and then done a bunch of blow with prostitutes and tax fraud and illegally owned guns!? Clearly this is a witch hunt.

Sounds like some classic whataboutism. What time is it in Moscow, comrade!?

he was pretty good

he did some genocide but that is normal

You should do some self-criticism ASAP before you get correctly called a racist fascist.
