We wouldn't have Marx if Engels hadn't worked against his class interests, so class traitors from the ruling class can happen. In this era of neoliberalism, I'm mostly expecting this person to be somewhat like Bernie
Most of this stuff is not getting the attention of mainstream news. The only reason I know about a lot of this stuff is because I saw it myself. Here's a couple links anyway:
See, I live in Minneapolis. I was a rapid responder. I attended Renee's vigil. I'm a member of multiple groups and participated in the direct democracy which planned the Jan 23rd and May 1st strikes. I'm one of the anarchist "terrorists" Trump wants to crack down on.
Rapid response groups were forming in November as ICE presence was ramping up pre Metro Surge. By the time I was a rapid responder, my hyperlocal neighborhood chat had over 3000 people in it, and that was weeks before Renee's murder. Renee was a rapid responder, murdered in cold blood for resisting fascists. Alex was an average citizen, simply trying to help a neighbor and deescalate the situation. We prevented abductions. We scared the pants off of the Trump administration, which is why they drew down. We're still resisting to this day until ICE is abolished. During the crisis, people travelled to Minneapolis to learn how we were resisting. Now that we're no longer in crisis mode, people are traveling to every major city in the country to teach people how we did it.
Edit: as for fighting billionaires, our movement officially adopted the slogan "No ICE, No War, No Billionaires". Our general strike in January was so effective that basically every major corporation in Minnesota signed a letter to the president to draw down.
Thank you! I've fully recovered and thankfully living a very fulfilling life since that occurred. I got out of it because my family knew something was wrong and checked me into the emergency department at a hospital, and then getting checked into a psych ward. The thing that snapped me back to reality was being brought to a padded room at about 2am. Once I realized my delusion, I started to quickly recover. I spent a week in the grippy sock hotel, and continued to regain my emotional stability for several months afterwards
The reason I put a sarcasm tone indicator on this is because last year I had a mental health crisis in which I broke from reality. I believed that some friends of mine had made me go viral, to the point that major corporations like youtube were getting in on the action. I was browsing Lemmy, and I thought I saw signs of this belief everywhere. A comment like mine without this kind of indicator would have reinforced that belief
Reminds me of a tool at my job called Picard. No idea what it does, but my disappointment was palpable when I found out that there wasn't even a hint of a star trek easter egg
I too have a vague concept in mind for liberating us from tyranny. It's truly glorious. Sic Semper Tyrannis
