Recently started looking into actual decent hard-left content creators, discovered BadEmpanada. I could give more detail, but I'm more interested on any critiques from those who know him or his content better.

I don't think I would label the Cop City protests as "liberal".

Are they doing any violent sabotage? If not it will ultimately be meaningless. Getting arrested and/or causing a delay will not have any effect of the kinda people as ruthless and determined as an occupying army

[–] Walk_On@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Actually they have. If you were following it, you would know about it. Don't call things liberal you know nothing about.

That's why I asked. That's quite a change from anything I had heard about it. How're they managing not to get executed?

Communism is when you break things and injure people

Comunism is when you doing stuff that works. Getting your self beat up by the cops for no good reason doesn't help anyone.

Do you believe that the venn diagram of "doing stuff that works" and "committing sabotage and/or assault" is a circle?

There's more adventurism going on than you might think. But the first rule of praxis is that if you know someone is performing direct action, no you don't.

Then how am I supposed to know about it?

By the slow collapse of the systems of state control over many years. And of course eventually news networks cant ignore the large fires.

This isn't propaganda of the deed, it's generally material action.
