I organized one and all the speakers were communists and the thousands of attendees enthusiastically cheered when we told them we need to do a socialist revolution and a bunch of them signed up to get involved in organizing.

I genuinely do not believe this. If this is true then you organized the only non-liberal No Kings protest on the planet.

Like the OP said, they are a mixed bag. In my city too, there were a lot of radical speakers, and speakers from the socialist and revolutionary orgs in my city.

ok, cool? stay home then, everything is hopeless, the dems have already won, I'm so seepy eepy

I went to a No Kings protest and it was aggressively anti-left and anti-anything other than voting. They were petting cop horses, thanking cops, having blue dog council members tell us all to vote for them. IO sincerely don't believe anything organized as a "No Kings" protest would be allowed to have anything legitimately left involved, much less involved in its organization.

That's because you didn't do anything to change it. If the Democrats won in your local area, it's because you sat by and watched it happen.

I drove more than an hour to get there but thanks for analyzing my actions based on your imagination.

Yeah this completely eradicated any credibility you may have had

[–] jack@hexbear.net 8 points 1 day ago (3 children)

fuck you, here's a link of literally this thing happening https://www.instagram.com/pslcleveland/reel/DK5lWskPp7w/

fuck you btw

[–] calidris@hexbear.net 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This makes me happy to see. I hope you succeed in making real change in your community. I also hope you realize this was not the case in a majority of the other protests, despite our efforts.

[–] jack@hexbear.net 5 points 1 day ago

I think the protests fall into a few distinct categories:

You've got small town ones, which are essentially entirely grassroots and politically pretty soft. They're still a good thing, because they are composed of people who basically have never taken any political action before. It's progress, just starting from a very low baseline

Then there are two city variants defined by the contest between the libs and the left. Either the libs have won via Indivisible and other components of the Dem machine quickly activating, or the left (embodied by PSL in most cities where there's been some success here) successfully anticipating this movement and laying the organizational groundwork and earning the legitimacy to determine the political line and tenor. In big east coast cities, the Dem machine is powerful and mostly succeeded. In the midwest and mountain states, PSL has had far more success. I can't really speak to the situation on the west coast, and these are all just trends with lots of exceptions.

Remember to delete this link in a day or two because your city + org affiliation may be doxable info.

[–] jack@hexbear.net 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

To what end? I am essentially already a public figure in my city. Anybody can dox me as much as they want.

[–] infuziSporg@hexbear.net 1 points 22 hours ago

If it's not part of your strategy, best of luck then.

[–] john_brown@hexbear.net 3 points 1 day ago (4 children)

It's clear you're very good at organizing based on your rage

[–] ComradeRat@hexbear.net 5 points 1 day ago

This but unironically lenin-shining

[–] ComradeRat@hexbear.net 5 points 1 day ago

This but unironically. Jack's basically channeling Lenin's ghost lol

[–] AOCapitulator@hexbear.net 3 points 1 day ago

best organizer I ever worked like was like this, I hated working with the guy sometimes because he was gruff and sharp like this guy is being but he got shit done so I never complained

did really wear on me though...

[–] jack@hexbear.net 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I am in fact good as hell at organizing, because I have on multiple occassions the last three months taken all the energy the Dems wanted to redirect into their machine and directed into a revolutionary one. My PSL branch has put on four large 50501 protests with thousands of attendees each, and every single one we have been extremely explicit about our politics to excellent popular reception. If I hadn't done that, all those people would've just been listening to some Dem council person telling them to vote for Chuck Schumer or whatever.

[–] john_brown@hexbear.net 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Is it convincing when you're organizing and somebody doubts your unproven claim so you just repeat "fuck you" at them? That works well for you?

[–] jack@hexbear.net 3 points 1 day ago (2 children)

unproven claim

literally video evidence

[–] john_brown@hexbear.net 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You provided no evidence when they doubted and replied with "fuck you". Literally the order of events.

[–] AOCapitulator@hexbear.net 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

he provided the link while saying fuck you, didn't he? Like, I don't see a problem here I'd have been mad too. Probably wouldn't have posted the video tying my account to that information but yeah

[–] john_brown@hexbear.net 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Why would you be mad that people disbelieve a pretty wild claim? Seems like a basic reality that these were hyper liberal protests and his claim needed more than just saying it on the internet.

[–] AOCapitulator@hexbear.net 1 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

I mean if I said I did something and someone told me I didn't it'd tick me off a bit regardless of what it was I said I did, idunno just seems like kind of a normal reaction

[–] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 1 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

If the thing was something widely considered difficult to accomplish, I would not insult comrades for not simply taking my claims on faith.
