It's also worth pointing out the contributions of Mao, Ho Chi Minh, and the USSR.
Statement Supporting the American Negroes In Their Just Struggle Against Racial Discrimination by U.S. Imperialism - Mao
Lynching - Ho Chi Minh
The Klu Klux Klan - Ho Chi Minh
and more in The Black Race, a collection of essays by Ho Chi Minh.
I'm sure others can fill in the USSRs contributions. I don't have the time now.

Yeah I wouldn't trust it either. Especially after crowedstrike bsod'd a bunch of windows computers a while back.

I'm not in Minneapolis, so I don't know what the vibes are on the ground, but I have to wonder where all this is building towards.

I don't know that you can brutalize a community like this and not develop its militant tendencies. There are things developing in the consciousness of people in Minneapolis that might be hard to unwind through force.

Bourgeois education and its focus on the nonviolent aspects of the Civil Rights movement is the root of the civility myth that blooms in the minds of liberals. This education teaches the virtues of nonviolence without ever connecting it to the militant movement and its virtues. It doesn't want to show you that progress was only made by the dual character of struggle. Militancy to express seriousness, to communicate to the state in the only language it understands, and peacefulness to expose the state's brutality to the citizens who still believe in the states ability for justice.

The exposure to the brutality, both directly, and indirectly, develops a militant consciousness. Militant consciousness demands militant action. Militant action heightens the brutality, but strengthens the whole movement through this relationship.

But I'm not in Minneapolis. I'm not sure what is developing in the collective conscious there. I see videos like this, and videos of people looting a lockbox from a ICE vehicle, and it makes me wonder.

My understanding is the National Guard may be soon deployed or is already deployed there. Which will only escalate the situation. What lessons are the people there learning?
