    Where do you personally think first world praxis should focus? Building movements inside the empire? Accelerating the downfall of the empire? Aiding international / third world socialist projects? Elsewhere?

    The first seems difficult and at constant risk of getting coopted or subsumed. The second risks making things worse for no reason. Not sure how to do the latter other than financial aid.

      Our job is to fight fascism at home and build our organizations. We may not be at the forefront of revolution, but through mass organizations we can partner with fraternal parties around the world and assist in whatever ways we're able. Without organization, we are nothing. Join up if you haven't!

      We gotta do a lot of base building and mutual aid to build an alternative to capitalism from the belly of the beast. There’s a reason they were so scared of the panthers. If you’re feeding someone’s kids they’ll listen to you.
