I agree. But, please, as a rule of thumb, when you make comments like this please end them to direct people for MORE action not less. I think we spend too much time criticizing without directing to action. The criticism is correct. But is useless without a direction to actually enact change.

Something as small as placing leftist literature in your local bookshare dropoff, to organizing a tenants/workplace union, working with mutual aids, learning your neighbors names, joining DSA or PSL for meetings to get your foot in the door, etc.

We can't critize liberals for going outside without directing them where else to go. It's just doomerism at that point.

One thing I did was ask my friends to join ONE other protest or organization with me between the last "No Kings" and today's. Only had one actually join me. But they've been more active since.

Use these events as opportunities to EXPAND organizing. Don't just offer criticism that essentially is just telling them what they are doing is useless and they should stay home. That's not how we get more people organizing.

We don't go from what we have now to an armed vanguard pushing ICE out of our cities in a single leap. We do lots of stupid "performative" shit to spread leftist agit-prop. These protest are an opportunity to do that.

The biggest failure of these no Kings protest is not on the liberals. It's on our complete inability to radicalize them. WE as Marxist are failing THEM. It's our job to educate them.
