If this happens we all need to be off our asses and in the streets. No memes, no shitposting, on the fucking streets. It’s already been way too long and far for this administration to continually hold the world hostage.
We don’t need to let it happen first. We should be already on the streets.
Very true
General Strike. Don’t work, don’t shop.
I don’t think US Americans are capable
im outside every single time but nothing crazy ever happens except police brutality like tear gas and arrests and energized republicans
Sure but there’s so many far easier things. Buy spray paint and go out at night and write some thoughts on the walls. Do easy things that are a little bit out of your comfort zone.
There’s no way the US is going into france protest mode over a president, it has been proven. Trump could kill half the country and the other half would go to work.
Unfortunately true. Half who voted still support him after all.
Organize committees in work places and represent as labor. Don’t wait for the union leaders who stifle the power of labor for their own gain any chance they get. The working class needs to take this into our own hands as a class…not as individuals.
Classes need coherency and leverage in order to make demands, which is typically done by coordinating leadership. We have leverage, but how are we supposed to realize any of it without class coherency? If you can’t, then it sounds more like you’re aiming to create a new political party… right?
In another world, the government would help curate a coherent working class by strengthening and encouraging workers unions and coalitions between them.
The working class has all the leverage we need…. We literally make the world run with our labor, and the world does not run without it. We do need leadership, but independent of the labor bureaucrats, most of whom sell us out or limits our class struggle. Workers can form their own committees within their unions to start mobilizing their power.
I feel like this has been tried before, though, in the 1900s. What makes this time different? Do we have a better strategy, now?
They were successful in 1917. This is worth studying!
The first step is to build a unified movement, rooted in the working class, that builds a revolutionary consciousness.
Leftists in various parties/orgs need to unite around some basic principles and fight together. We need to unite around agreements while we continue to hash out differences for clarity regarding the way forward. Both can happen at the same time.
To not unite around agreements is to be sectarian, and this is castrating the power of the left….in addition to some parties and orgs actively pushing a liberal agenda, doing nothing but helping to build illusions that the bourgeois parties will work in the interest of the working class.
Tbf this should have happened under W, Obama, the first Trump admin, but especially since j6
They are going to need those if they want a country after regime change. The people showing up to defend what is their’s is a good sign.
Need which, the bridges and power plants, or the people?
yes.
If they think that will stop bombs, they’re very much mistaken.
Although I suspect the Iranian regime know that all too well, and that this will solidify people against the invaders. It’s hard to side with people who’ve just turned your family into mince.
This is pretty much the only strategy they have. Although their country is one third as populous as the United States, their defense department has less funding than Arkansa’s public education system. Outrage from the America public is their only defense against US military superiority.
It’s a good strategy. I’d be upset if my tax dollars blew up thousands of civilians making a human chain around a powerplant.
Trump on how to unite a country
Most likely, this won’t even come close to stopping the psychopath Trump.
They should probably not do that. Trump doesn’t give a fuck. They’re just increasing their death chances.
He just TACO’d.
Yeah, but apparently this had nothing to do with it.
It might. Looked real bad when their palantir ai software helped kill all the children
and the AI is likely hallucinating info anyways, isnt thats why thiel is getting really nervous about AI going bust, and why hes more comfortable being in the news right now, he usually stays out of it.
no but it helps the regime, by martyring them, and turning the public from other countries against israel and trump MORE. in the DS9 show, the CHangeling female, dominion proposed a plan to use meatshields, by placing cardassian citizens in around military compounds, power stations,etc. in order to turn the public against the rebels.
We are all watching around the world and we will remember and be inspired by their courage.
trump anf isreal found the one way to rally the iranian people behind their government…
For a bunch of far right fasicsts, it’s truly remarkable how the MAGA idiots and the Likud+ maniacs underestimate …nationalism.
Hmmm, human chains ended horribly for the protesters a couple months back, I wonder how this will
