Nah, it’s the most crucial tool we have in our arsenal when movements are at this deescalated movement — videos of incidents from every possible angle.

I think it’s a joke no?

Without revealing too much, I’m a member of a small branch, maybe a dozen members. We’re growing very quickly but we’re still definitely small. However, the national structure of the PSL allows us to punch far above our weight. When Maduro was kidnapped, we had 400 people show out to a demonstration with twelve hour notice. In a small city this is huge. While we were in the streets the (much larger) local DSA was putting out a both sides wrong statement (Maduro is a dictator BUT…) while the anarchist folks were locked in fierce internal debate (heard that theough the grapevine).

Yes, you’re right in that current tactics aren’t disrupting too much and likely due to limited capacity at the moment. However, we are growing at unprecedented rates and have the structure to truly respond once we’re ready.

The PSL is the real deal, able to turn in a dime nationwide. This is why you see Trump going on an unhinged rant about how we all have the same signs. If you’re not a member of an organization, I highly encourage you to join, or if you’re a part of another organization or union to direct them to work with the PSL.

The strength of the PSL vs organizations such as DSA is its ability to coordinate nation wide through its national organization. If the decision was made to escalate nationwide, I guarantee you every branch would do so.
