  • I think a lot of liberals are quietly looking at the militancy coming from the community in awe, since we’re one of the only forces actively resisting Trump in a real way. Many white working liberals feel safer with the brown working class than they do with their own white capitalist class, which is a good thing.

    Not sure why some conservatives are starting to defect on this issue though. Maybe they’re nervous about losing super-exploitable labor.

    I think at some point, the white people I see attend our actions will be less Communist and anarchistic, but this is a good thing because that means the masses are starting to be politically activated. They can adopt more correct views with time and attention from cadres.



  • The point of the ICE demonstrations are two fold.

    In LA, many of the organizations organizing these demonstrations also do ICE patrols in their communities, and these patrols have been effective at actually preventing deportations.

    The other benefit is like what you said, it’s to show people that they’re not alone in this struggle, to build community. Community is necessary in order to win a prolonged struggle.

    These demonstrations both fulfill a need (not getting deported) and it also raises morale. Without fulfilling some sort of need, demonstrations can very quickly be viewed as “useless” which will lead to the very people we’re trying to save to lose faith and be politically deactivated.

    We need these people to stay politically activated and in the struggle because their active material interest (not being deported) grants them the potential to be active and high quality organizers… a vanguard in formation.
