silberfuchs<p>if you are going to launch a solidarity action for palestine on a university campus, please think for 5 seconds about the strategic implications of your location. ie., don't pick a spot that is mostly only accessible by foot with limited and long egress times to places off campus.</p><p>and when shit hits the fan because you picked a terrible location, then don't suggest people head to pedestrian tunnels covered in cameras, require the use of stairs, and ultimately lead to a massive (literally carved into bedrock) parking garage or the health sciences complex which has 2x the amount of security as the rest of the campus on a normal day. oh and doors that require a University ID card to open.</p><p>unless you're intentionally trying to visibly get arrested in which case great job, I hope you're happy in the hennepin county jail for the next 4+ hrs.</p><p>edit: this is all to say: fuck <a href="https://social.edist.ro/tags/umn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>umn</span></a> <a href="https://social.edist.ro/tags/sds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sds</span></a> and every other <a href="https://social.edist.ro/tags/frso" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>frso</span></a> front group</p>
Maximum Overdrive<p>I recently read "The Revolutionary Science of Marxism-Leninism" by J. Sykes, published by <a href="https://toots.matapacos.dog/tags/FRSO" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FRSO</span></a> (Freedom Road Socialist Organization) and I found it to be an excellent entry-level text to <a href="https://toots.matapacos.dog/tags/ScientificSocialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ScientificSocialism</span></a>. It's very approachable and easy to read for any leftist and, I believe, is quite persuasive in it's argument for embracing <a href="https://toots.matapacos.dog/tags/DialecticalMaterialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DialecticalMaterialism</span></a> and <a href="https://toots.matapacos.dog/tags/HistoricalMaterialsm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HistoricalMaterialsm</span></a> as primary ways by which to understand and change the world. Sykes also describes the <a href="https://toots.matapacos.dog/tags/Leninist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Leninist</span></a> form, organization, and inner-process of a <a href="https://toots.matapacos.dog/tags/communist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>communist</span></a> party and how that can be an effective strategy for seizing and maintaining working-class power (the <a href="https://toots.matapacos.dog/tags/DictatorshipOfTheProletariat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DictatorshipOfTheProletariat</span></a>) as we advance into the <a href="https://toots.matapacos.dog/tags/socialist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>socialist</span></a> stage of human development. Those are perhaps the most commonly expected and basic topics, but he also delves into the <a href="https://toots.matapacos.dog/tags/MarxistTheoryOfKnowledge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MarxistTheoryOfKnowledge</span></a>, <a href="https://toots.matapacos.dog/tags/PoliticalEconomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PoliticalEconomy</span></a>, <a href="https://toots.matapacos.dog/tags/Imperialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Imperialism</span></a>, the <a href="https://toots.matapacos.dog/tags/NationalQuestion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NationalQuestion</span></a> involving the oppressed nations within the US, <a href="https://toots.matapacos.dog/tags/WomensLiberation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WomensLiberation</span></a>, and <a href="https://toots.matapacos.dog/tags/QueerLiberation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>QueerLiberation</span></a>. I think this is a must read for anyone who considers themselves on the <a href="https://toots.matapacos.dog/tags/Left" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Left</span></a> and desires a deeper understanding of our world!</p><p><a href="https://toots.matapacos.dog/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bookstodon</span></a> <a href="https://toots.matapacos.dog/tags/booktoot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>booktoot</span></a></p>
