I'm looking into potentially starting a reading group that can also discusses leftist organizing in New England. I'm from New Hampshire, and besides being a cultural wasteland it is sickeningly liberal. I'm looking forward to Bernie's Sunday rally in Concord, maybe there will be some like minded folk.
Tbh reading groups are shit, if you want to actually get shit going form a labour circle and get people organised in their workplaces and against their landlords.
Jason Brown
If you do this, don't bullshit. Actually read Marx.
Hunter Campbell
What do you guys think about 'Free Keene'? I see their shit everywhere since I watch libertarian/sovcit fail videos.
I'm forming a reading group as a way to discuss that. People are so fucking class cucked here, they've never heard of 'labour circle.'
I don't think reading Capital, at least initially, is the best way to get people interested in Leftism. But, I don't really have a better idea. Suggestions?
They're absolute nummies. Christopher Cantwell, the milk nazi, lives in Keene and he is the epitome of the type psychopathic libertarian proto-fascist that is so abundant here.
Whereabouts, if you don't mind me asking? My Mom's from Springfield and I've spent a fair amount of time in Boston, Lowell, and Lawrence- While I do love these cities and they obviously have a rich labor history; how should it inform my organizational goals?
Easton Collins
The worst part is that for a short time they had a foothold in our state legislature.
Aiden Jones
I've thought about moving back to Chicago, maybe get involved with Leftist movements out there, then try to bring some of it back with me.
Connor Johnson
Bump
Julian Wright
we don't need more people interested in liberal leftism. just read shorter stuff. Marx wrote plenty of shorter books. Engels, Lenin too.
Adrian Morgan
bumplocked. Use US general.
Dylan James
checkd. specifically, what would you recommend?
Carter Edwards
It's funny that you're hounding me to use the general. I've gotten more replies is thread then I ever have had in a general thread
Lowell and not saying anymore. As for labor history propaganda like related pic is bomb and utilizing the large immigrant slums like the IWW/BPP by using critiques of capitalist immigration is cool
Organizing strategies are deserving of there own thread and this allows focus instead of fucking about
I'm just pointing out the thread is anchored and that you should use the general, dickhead. Not everything is about you burgers, believe it or not.
What you think deserves what is largely irrelevant matey. Regardless of that this isn't an 'organizing strategies thread' it's a 'newengland let's form a reading group thread'. Clearly.
Were you a hall monitor/RA type character at school? Anyways, who else am I supposed to be organizing with people from the west coast? Also, goodlook with your theoryless praxis, dipshit
