Socialists, Greens, Radicals of the World Unite.. where are y'all?!!

Posted by curious gm on 1/27/2025, 6:46 pm

My personal observation is that this time in America's political & cultural history is ripe for street activism, protests, constructive noise and strategic disruptions.
But there's a certain level of silence among those you'd expect to lead the charge. Maybe it's fear or maybe it's just that people are worn down or too distracted by social media etc.
I am not seeing and reading any bold critiques coming from either socialists, the Green Party or authentic so-called progressives. What has happened to the Green Party since the election? Where is Jill Stein or her VP, Butch Ware, who I think was pretty bold in his progressive politics.

Trump's America has started with a bang and he's going batshit! To survive his madness and protect ourselves, we'll need a serious & bold movement. As of this moment, what we have is mostly silence from the new & ole school activists and modern day radicals.
Hopefully, from Trump's madness and the resulting chaos, a prophetic voice or voices will arise and help lead us to freedom. Amen.

.. just had to get this off my chest!

And where is Cornel West? Where are the Greens, my favorite party?

Social Self Defense

Patience my dear man. Trust me, plans are being made. There is an emerging mass movement. I spent the last three Saturday mornings on zoom listening to organizers from all over the country comment on planning mass resistance. Several mentioned this informative piece that I have linked below. As for this upcoming weekend, I am attending the event also pictured below. It's that time folks. Get Up!! Stand Up!!!

You remain more optimistic than I am, let's hope yours is the prophetic one.

But here's the question: how can 'a people's movement" be successful when all the $billionaire media giants like Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos are now bowing before Trump? We are talking about the biggest & most powerful propaganda machinery EVAR.
I guess that's where YouTube, TikTop etc., come into play. And that, maybe, is not enough. You get my skepticism?

Another reason i'm a bit pessimistic: how do Black folks break through the Black Misleadership class now firmly in control? How do we get the likes of Al Sharpton, Hakeem Jeffries, the Roland Martins, the NAACP, the Urban League etc., out of the way? We have a strong "black buffer class" in place and they also need to be overthrown to make any true progressive headway.
Just my opinion!

Great commentary on the issues we face..
"Social self Defense" vs "the MAGA juggernaut".
Time Will Tell.
