While PSL are generally good, UoF have consistently kept a harder line reminiscent of the original BPP imo, and if the recent history has taught us anything it’s that half-assed measures get co-opted, diverted, stamped out.
I’ve never heard of U of F at all.
PSL is a literal party. They cannot take an anarchic approach to violent resistance. Violent resistance happens around the PSL but cannot be official sanctioned or organized by the PSL. It has a specific function in the revolutionary spectrum, which is movement building, and anything that puts them at risk of being disrupted by the feds is putting the movement building at risk.
U of F, if they aren’t just some made up bunch of spoilers, should STFU and get on with its organizing efforts instead of punching towards other socialist. The fact that they don’t understand this makes me suspect of anything I see from them from this point forward.
I’ve never heard of UoF, what organizing do they do?
Irt to their commentary, both types of actions have their place and not every type of person is going to go to “the front lines”
It sounds like UoF is calling for violence on a public platform and that’s not particularly wise when the Feds are always looking for reasons The age-old question: is it leftist infighting or is it Fed agitation?
¿Por que no los dos?
UoF sounds like a front for the feds.
I don’t think calling for people to organize and meet the cops where they are to prevent people being stolen and potentially never seen again as they rot in a concentration camp somewhere is especially fed-like tbh.
Calling for people to stay at home and clutching pearls over destroyed capitalist property like I’ve seen a lot of does seem lib at best. In some cases more reminiscent of the Harris campaign that used influencers to try to get people to ignore Palestine and think about how good they’d feel if team blue won the election. 😑
Edit: I went on a tangent about UoF and completely left out PSL. But to be fair the replies mostly did as well. 😏
Echoing what others have already said, but also anyone who was at City Hall today can tell you it was not just some liberal parade. The entire fucking crowd gathered up and took it straight to the cops around the corner.
half-assed measures
