Again, no fedposting. What the hell are we doing here USAmericans? are any folks getting more involved with their communities at least?

Obviously not all of us are in epicenters of obvious or extreme violence, but what are ways principled communists are stepping up?

No fedposting!

The answer to “what is to be done?” is always “build and strengthen the party of the working class”. The US has not started accomplishing that sentence yet. Maybe they’re on the B of build, if I’m being generous.

Agitate, educate, organise.

With the compounding situation in places like Minneapolis and large peaceful demonstrations, I think there's a decent chance of the dress rehearsal coming. So we gotta do what we can to prepare for it.

Certainly in agreement with that, and hopefully many users of the bear site and other adjacent instances are involved with, or getting involved with, their local orgs. It's also crystal clear that USAmerican leftists do not currently know how to pull the masses towards the direction of liberation. I guess I'm personally looking for tactics and strats that folks on the ground are using and how they are working or aren't working so people outside of those hyper local contexts can re-apply effective tools in their own cities.
