I was told that it may lead to easier or faster release, and I imagine I might be targeted to be imprisoned if I push it if I don’t bring an ID, but I feel like that’s bullshit but I don’t think I should leave it to chance
Would you bring an ID to a protest?
(Did I accidentally start a struggle session?)
Clearly you’re very frustrated at the lack of material improvement from these kinds of demonstrations and the pervasive brainworms that infect most of the people who attend them, and I get that. But if you see millions of people in the street manifesting their discontent with the US government and you can’t think of a way to effect your political will, you aren’t thinking hard enough.
We as outright socialists, communists, and anarchists are in the extreme minority in the US and the only way we are going to gain ranks is by engaging with people where they are at and trying to move them leftwards. Often a single interaction is not going to be enough to de-brainworm someone, but a consistent presence of outwardly leftist groups full of normal people with coherent ideas at these demonstrations is going to seed ideology over time and will get the attention of left-curious libs, and even some chuds, who can be won over into allies.
Most people in the US are not going to respond well to a political campaign of murder and violent revolution because they do not want to die or see others killed. I and others here understand the hypocrisy of that while the US empire rains death around the world, but well-meaning, ignorant people at these protests may not yet, and they may need time and guidance to be de- and re-propagandized and radicalized. If libs don’t have a concrete objective for their protests, we as leftists can have that be our objective for them.
