A Revolutionary Tool

I completely understand where you are coming from on this. Had a very similar experience

Is there supposed to be a picture attached to that post? I can't see it but I'm honored nonetheless.

and no I don't think it alienates people to the extent that it is raved about but ultimately I don't really care

you do understand as a communist what you are organizing to do don't you- ever think those people complaining are wrong? Do you want actions policed/restricted/based off the lowest common denominator available, one which quite honestly is liberal and serves the interest of the state and capital?

I see an analogy here

to clarify that last message since I have more time now, as another user quoted/brought up in discussion on what left ideas have done to shape us "they killed the cop in their head", and I think this says it just fine, formal organizations most often don't do this and they cater to keeping that little cop in everyone's head happy, serving empire, playing the numbers in the ranks game etc..

the example wasn't from may day it was a generic example that you or me or someone came up with. On May Day, coordinated affinity actions engaged in big disruptions and half a million dollars in property destruction (like 20 people maybe less like 10 maybe less I don't know) because the state is vulnerable to attacks and some people wanted to engage in insurrectionary play, revenge, bond building, rupture, etc.. The argument that 'it alienates people' is absurd to use because what alienates people isn't a specific act it's confrontation, new ideas, new things and good luck building a gigantic movement off of non-confrontation, rigid rules and policing, although the new ideas is something we as radicals of different tendencies will both engage people in (and each other too) I'm almost out of time at the library so forgive this message's quickly written appearance (it was).

it's a reply to your post in that thread I made it on your profile instead of in the thread where it would be derailing

but it never means not doing so

Nice! My 20th b-day was pretty awesome. Actually quite better than my 21st. IMHO the 21st b-day is overrated. Everyone seems to have gotten drunk WAY before 21.
