This “Power and Strategy” course seems interesting!

Does anyone know where I can find it?

Anyone, it's good that they taught them people like W.E.B. DuBois and the Combahee River Collective's own texts.

Definitely give the article a read-through or at least a skim-through.

Uh, because I know that I haven't?

This is getting very silly. You claimed or implied, twice, that I'm suggesting not listening to (Western) organizations, generally. It's basically all you said in response, in fact, despite me writing several paragraphs explaining what I mean and am actually recommending. Your replies did not apply to what I said and I've explained why. I'll avoid trying to figure out why you'd rather die on this hill than listen to and engage with a patient comrade.

Uh, that applies to you.

If this is just turning into a childish "no that's you" thing, where you don't even deign to explain how, I will have to disengage. I know what defensive tu quoque looks like lol.

But you haven't even engaged with the substance of my posts.

The absolute gall to say this.

So it is going to be that way...

I've already said that I'm without ADHD medication.

You actually didn't. However, as someone who also has ADHD I know that does not excuse uncomradely behavior. If you're not ready to pay attention to what someone is saying, responding with dismissive certainty will only dig holes you'll have trouble getting out of and will probably alienate the people you're trying to bring to your position. You can do whatever you'd like to, of course, but I'd prefer that you had fruitful engagements with others, especially to the extent that it advances socialism.

I will not be replying further in this thread. Please feel free to let me know if you are interested in and ready to discuss strategy or organizing in the future, though.

You really didn't answer my points. Good bye, ig
