That is the best way to do it. You should always strive for simplicity when trying to explain complicated ideas.
use ideas like 99 percent
that is why occupy wall st was so popular
also explain how it is not fair because him and his family are rich because the work we do and how we struggle to pay rent and afford basic things but things would change if we all had a say compared to the boss making all the decisions
yeah that had lots of potential but I think got fractured into many different causes and got bogged down with organizing in a less functional way like getting caught up with idpol in regards to decision making like the progressive stack and the like
Exactly. Idpol is cancerous.
Who here is familiar with the book 'Rules for radicals'?
I have heard of it
I never read it
I am. I have a copy on my shelf. It's an interesting read and Saul Alinsky was a great organizer.
He was certainly worthy of the title, "Father of Community Organizing". His tactics have been proven effective time and time again.
@Deleted User True that.
do you guys know many anarchists? I have lots of friends that identify that way and never handle any cases of interpersonal violence in a constructive manner people do really bad things towards each other like sexual assault but refuse to involve the state so people who commit the crimes go unpunished but just are shunned by some and spoken ill of on social media
Well, Gary is an Anarcho-Stalinist.. ;P
I am not for vigilantism in the least and the whole situation frustrates me to no end
Here is a pdf of the book I strongly suggest everyone reads it:https://chisineu.files.wordpress.com/2014/02/saul-alinsky-rules-for-radicals-1989.pdf
thanks
I've met a few serious anarchists and lifestylists, but their idealism and complete disconnect from reality was far from appealing. I also went through a phase, around the time I joined the IWW, where I considered myself an Anarcho-Syndicalist. I enjoyed reading Insurrectionary Anarchist literature as well. Lol
The earth is flat
Btw
I am think there is a serious flaws in the criminal justice system and major abuses by the police but I don't reject the idea as a whole, I just hate to see people who really harm others not punished in any way or if innocent slandered with no recourse
the problem with police is that they serve the interests of the rich and elite
like I have friends that ended up murdering a person in a robbery for drugs and my leftist friends want them to go free, I think it is absurdf
Punishment does nothing
not to protect and serve the people
Literally
that comes later
It’s all about rehabilitation
Not punishment
Exactly. They exist only to protect and serve the interests of the bourgeoisie.
Um you know that’s not true right
Um, I know it is.
That is not there sole purpose
I think he should do what is best to help society function well and reform people but I am not against a rigged system in favor of no system at all
If you think that you are beyond delusional
like my old friend and roommate murdered someone and my friends don't think the state should act
@black jack What is their purpose? Please explain before I embarass you.
protecting and serving people comes after the interest of the bourg tho
All I see is stupid republicans, and idiotic liberals, and I'm just here like "I just want lil peep back"
tbh xanax and codeine addicts are truly today what the hippies where in the 60s
