I think we’re rapidly approaching a tipping point where a lot of individual adventurism is about to come back into fashion. One ecoterrorist or anti-genocide bomber will spark off an absolute shit tonne of copycats.
That sounds like a tipping point that could become an actual movement, though, if you can intercept all of the prospective bombers before they do something and get them in contact with one another in an actual community. A single bomber is adventurism, a thousand bombers is a guerilla warfare unit. But that means we should all focus on organizing rather than being the bombers.
I mean sure. But the question is how do you identify and reach and organise the would-be adventurist bombers beforehand?
Find the answer to that question and I guarantee you you’re in the process of creating the most revolutionary group the US has seen since the panthers.
Arguably the Panthers successfully intercepted would-be adventurists who would have died shooting cops. Some of them still did, but they did organising in the most revolutionary party the US has seen first.
You find the people that are going to die fighting the state and manage to connect with them before they do it in a disorganised way and you’re heading in the direction of a revolutionary force.
I’m not entirely sure how you would do it, obviously this is something entire orgs are probably discussing in person this very moment, but it would at least be poetic to have one of the most revolutionary groups in the US form for Palestinian liberation
Oh I’m not sure it’ll happen that quickly lol. When I was saying “tipping point” I mean more like over the next 5 years.
This kind of thing is like the start of it. Probably a slow trickle at first, stuff spaced out very far apart before becoming denser as the conditions get worse.
the problem with that is the various government entities that infiltrate any group that attempts to organize, and tears them apart from the inside or arrests/kills them. But the government aren’t in our heads (yet)
Sometimes the best organization is no organization: just individual sparks that eventually coalesce into a wildfire.

I thought the long timeline was implied sorry

feels like adventurism
Nooooo… Never…
