Without criticism and analysis of our events and our "allies" events we won't get anywhere. The numbers were pretty pathetic for the amount of work put into them. The turnout was exagerated and you people have to stop toting Avakian like some sort of messiah.

burning the flags in downtown federal plaza surrounded by cops was quite a thrill and a powerful symbolic message -- completely unmentioned in any RCP or WCW analysis (of course)

I am getting tired of these generalized events. they only serve to demoralise people (with the intent to manipulate them into radicalising as a result which always fails). Less watered down fall-in-line protests and more street theater, DA, aggressive actions.

It's our job to pull chicago up to the level of other cities. Lets start doing that and wasting our efforts on what we know hasn't worked in the past.
