Wow listening to Andy Burnham introduce his first cabinet meeting and every second noise out of him is ahhhhm.

Thought we were meant to be impressed with his canny communication skills and ability to talk without notes.

But more importantly it looks like his policies suck too

This. And we need to stop thinking of anarchy and dissent as a bad thing. I do not like violence and will always choose to negotiate but we have rolled over too much and are being taken advantage off.

I am learning how to be a part of something.

Very cool Cherry. I'm learning myself (everyday is a school day and that's why work should end at 3pm 😁)

A good book I found was ""practical anarchism a guide for daily life" by Shuli Branson. Really helped make the principles simple and it's mainly about consensus and how to work with everyones views and "full spectrum resistance" Aric McBay

I've found it difficult to find a real life anarchist group but have joined Acorn the housing union

But more power to you, hope you find a way to get involved 💪🖖✊

Thanks, read full spectrum resistance” Aric McBay i will take a look at practical anarchism, i think that is the next step. I have took a lot in mentally, and i have had lots of conversations. I make small steps esp with my economical power. I also try to understand my language in empowering others.

I have also been trying to support small local groups.

I think the practical side is whats missing now.
