If only Very Serious Ideologues hadn’t spent the past 50 years insisting that any behavior that didn’t immediately overthrow the government (It Will Happen Any Day Now) was worthless, we might be in a better position to act quickly.
But hell, if your idea is to act quickly, by all means - act! But if your thought is “Laying groundwork is worthless”, you had better goddamn be acting instead of preparing, because if you’re doing neither, you’re not really any better than any “Price of eggs” ghoul who doesn’t care how many foreign children die as long as their omelets remain cheap.
These fools wouldn’t understand that real protest requires direct action. None of this begging bullshit and hoping for the establishment to be swayed against its own self interest.
If it doesn’t act quickly it will be no good as they are fortifying their positions.
