Ask the union leaders in Minneapolis if “no one is doing that.”

Minneapolis is where the George Floyd Uprising started. Go ask those organizers (who are absolutely active today) why “no one is doing that.”

Just because you dont see it, doesn’t mean it doesnt happen. Its not the job of the resistance movement to look like what an outside observer thinks it should look like. Read radical theory and you might recognize the signs of radical resistance.

“Peaceful protest” has very little to do with what I’m talking about. I’m talking about militant resistance, such was what anarchist/communist movements have put into practice for 150+ years, including in the US. It isnt delusional, it’s history.

This is the most harmful rhetoric to a resistance movement that I can imagine. You’re literally saying that people organizing themselves to force radical change have no power or ability to succeed.

Resistance does not look like a witty sign. It looks like community self defence, direct action, union organizing, general strike, and the miriad other methods that have been historically successful against authoritarian and oppressive regimes. These are the methods being used by organizers in Minneapolis today.

And you’re here arguing that The People dont have power.

No, it takes militant direct action. Liberal protests are toothless sign waving performances, but radical protest movements have over 100 years of history showing exactly what methods will force regimes to recognize the power of The People.

Okay but unironically getting organized with your local community and sustained general strike actions will literally bring the nation to it’s knees.

The United Panther Party is another small modern Panther org. The UPP is mixed and Anarcho-Pantherist in political philosophy.

There was also the White Panther Party back in the 60s-70’s formed mostly of white college kids following the Panther model. Essentially a more explicitly revolutionary alternative to SNCC, which was itself highly influential in the anti-war movement at the time.

These days there are several Panther groups doing smaller scale community self defence and mutual aid across the country, many of them led by second and third generation Black Panthers.
