calidris [he/him, comrade/them]

Don’t forget to pop some kernels when you’re done.

They’re out there comrade, I can almost guarantee it. Going to DM you shortly.

Two of these things are not like the other…

How close are you to a major city? I know a few groups that joke like this and get down to business when necessary.

Don’t think they know about beanis though.

I always thought madman theory was intentional craziness to confuse the enemy. Not an actual lunatic at the helm.

Wtf is even left to cut

Psyop is a perfect word.

Well done.

What you’re looking for is organizing. Labor organizing, tenant organizing, and organizing mass orgs (educational, mutual aid, etc.).

This is where the power of the party can truly be utilized.

I’ll lay out some things I’ve learned, particularly in the last year or so, that are effective at these sorts of events. Be mindful that much of this is situational, so adapt accordingly.

For starters, bring a table of some sort as well as something to provide other protesters. Water, coffee, snacks, etc. This will provide an opening for engagement. Also on the table, printed material. I suggest bringing material from your org despite your reluctance stated elsewhere. You never know who might be in attendance and you might find attendees who are more open minded than you think, especially considering current conditions. I helped set up and work with a local org that is anti-capitalist/anti-imperialist and works to build community and solidarity in the immediate area. Despite what others have said, not everyone is ready to dive in head first to socialist/communist ideas. This org acts as an entry point for those people as well as providing mutual aid and community defense programs. It’s also a sort of pipeline into more theory heavy groups once they reach that level. I bring printed material from this org as well.

Your ice breakers stated elsewhere are good, but depending on the situation, might want to reeled back just a bit. I’ve had great success with “Trump is the symptom, capitalism is the disease” on signs. For MLK and Einstein, maybe print out a relevant quote and leave it at that. These libs often need to be handheld and this is a good way to ease them into things. While somewhat bothersome in my opinion, the terms Epstein class, pedo class, and billionaire class are effective for strengthening the idea of class consciousness. In reality it’s all referencing the capitalist class, but you can get into that later.

I brought up whether you are known because this determines how deep into the theory you can effectively go without scaring off folks. I’ve been going around to local lib protests for the last year and have made a name for myself amongst many. They know what I’m about to some degree, and have become comrades in other endeavors. Many are ready and willing to help out with mass orgs, which opens the door to further radicalization like the other org I mentioned above.

If you have the willingness and ability, find a chant book and lead them in chants. If you have a megaphone, that’s even better. There’s hardly any leadership and organization at these things, in my experience. Fill that role.

I understand your frustration with the marches as you also stated. I’ll keep my own opinions of PSL to myself, but the marches do serve a purpose as well. Aside from being a good way to raise awareness and educate with counter-propaganda, they are good places to network and meet like-minded people which will be crucial in the days ahead. I’ve met many at these and other events that have joined me in labor organizing and mass org work that have proven invaluable.

Good luck out there comrade.

Are you known amongst the attending crowd? This is an important factor on how focused your agitprop should be and on what.

Hopefully they also possess tact far exceeding your own.

Grover Furr’s books are great. Commonly spread misconceptions and falsehoods countered with historical records and verifiable sources.

Highly recommended.

Sound advice from a neoliberal I’m sure

I’m curious why they would build something that generates a massive amount of heat and uses vast quantities of water in a place that is hot and dry.

Get out there and drop some knowledge on them.

Bring some agitprop for them to read over their pastries.

Also one of the architects of network states. Truly evil person and near the top of the list of public enemies.

That’s kind of what I meant. Implementing both of those things together on a VPN is unique AFAIK.

I would imagine if you could trust the entry node that would also mitigate a significant amount of risk, no? I’m not deeply knowledgeable on the subject just FYI

This feature is unique to nym as well, as far as I’m aware:
