These squares must be upheld, cringe as they are. We need to improve them and build them up. It's like imperfect ML states but in smaller forms. DO NOT LET THEM BE DESTROYED. Criticize them, sure, but don't give up our territory.
I get it. They probably suck ass to live next to. They are chaotic and often very poorly organized. They might even be filled with trash. They are almost certainly filled with CIA ops and spying cops and reactionaries and liberals. The point is that we must not let these rebellions, as shitty and as cringey as they can be, be crushed by police. We NEED to build experience. Where's your solidarity? Go out and help pick up some trash in one.
I drive by it regularly. Half the time the barricades don't even have anyone there, day or night, which is wild considering the city is actively trying to remove them. All I'm seeing in that article is the focus on violent crime typical of local papers, but justified because it's on a "progressive" site. It's not "ancap hellworld" whatever your experience in some other city was.
It's not your "territory" if you don't have some kind of military or police that can actually enforce sovereignty. If someone harmed aperson trying to assault someone in the area, they would obviously be arrested by the MPD. The only reason they exist is because they are allowed to. At best, taking them down would make the city look bad so its somewhat of a propaganda victory. At worst, they let them exist so they can pump out delegitimizing propaganda to your average rube. At least that's my 10-second thoughts on it.

I had similar experiences near my local zone. Doesn't make it ok to let the pigs crush it.
liberals are returning to their traditional political economy
