Has a "modmail" been sent for their "rationale?" What the fuck are these status quo poseurs at the leadership level of 50501 talking about? See what their rationale is. Fear maybe? Watch them accomplish nothing by saying nothing, NOTHING that will truly compete with fascist rule. This amounts to insincere opposition. Pearl clutching uselessness is not what we need now. I will get behind and be nominally or spiritually supportive of ANY group that genuinely opposes fascism. Hopefully these groups understand what it will take to really do that, but I am not sure. Protests every couple of months? Really? This is not serious at all. I am not sure Dem friendly and "we don't want to go TOO FAR" (as in real revolution) types are ready for the fight ahead. Refuse Fascism on face value and substantively gets my FULL support.
I share your concern about those other issues. However, the protests are over the destruction of our democracy, and if we make them about other issues as well, issues worthy our attention, we dilute the force of our demonstration.
Think of the success of the civil rights marches in the 20th century. They were VERY focused on simple things, such as being able to shop equal to white people, to attend any public place. Or for the right to vote without a pole tax or other restrictions that singled them out. And they had to be nonviolent.
If they had made a list of all the things they wanted, people would’ve had great difficulty absorbing all that information.
They kept it simple, nonviolent, and persisted in the face of violent beatings and persecution by law-enforcement and private groups. They were called troublemakers and ungrateful, but they persisted until the ideas. They stood for penetrated the minds of the country.
Uh, Paul, seemingly off point but not, no mention of the passing of Bill Moyers, giant among journalists, this past Thursday, whose inestimable body of work includes "The Secret Government: The Constitution in Crisis" (1987) which stands as an example of investigative journalism at its finest, and remains germane to the fascist morass in which we find ourselves today?
Well and look what happens when you take seriously their language of "diametrically opposed." How messed up is that? Of course, as us typical among many in the movement world, they likely haven't bothered to actually read the goals and analyses of either RF or the Revcoms. They go instead with reflexive COINTELPROlish distancing.

Bravo. Eloquent. Thank you.
I stopped protesting at 50501 protests. To many USA flag wavers. No one protesting genocide in Gaza or our proxies war in Ukraine.

We do not need COINTELPRO Agents- We need to Defeat fascism and drive out the Trump regime before it is too late!
Is it possible it's too late already? 249 years' efforts...destroyed in a few months....
WTF?

Maybe they’re afraid the DNC will think they’re communist, or in the least, anti capitalist! They’ve never needed to worry about that!
Does the 50501 Reddit moderator not understand the meaning of "united we stand, divided we fall"?
