Not being in a war-zone is obviously a good thing.
Exactly. Everybody agrees about that, yet it’s only the black and brown faces (or muslim faith) who get denied border crossing. That’s the hypocrisy worth pointing out!
It’s creating a regime that really serves it’s people.
Build a regime without incentives to dominate/exploit people, a regime in which nobody holds power over somebody else, but everyone is empowered to take part as an individual or as a community. Injustices and domination won’t disappear overnight, but that’s a much better start already.
Lots of talk but no real initiatives to fix anything. I don’t know how to turn all this rhetoric and cleverness into real practical deeds and progress.
That’s the problem with all internet forums. Get involved. For real. On your streets. With other radical anti-colonial, anarchist, and/or queer activists from your local neighborhood. Get involved in a zine/patch distro to spread ideas and information. In a cantine providing food for bellies & for thoughts on a regular basis. In a local self-organized social center serving as a space for other collectives to do stuff. In demonstrations against local injustice/suffering or for international solidarity. Organize solidarity parties with comrades about issues that matter to you and to your loved ones, where you can both share information and raise funds in a DIY manner (fuck those feel-good self-righteous NGO donation galas).
There’s so many ways to get active. Together we are powerful. People who have real connections to social struggles on the ground are no fools of the Russian/NATO propaganda and don’t need Internet forums to feel alive and useful in this world. Two related quotes on the topic on getting into struggles:
The struggle is like a circle ; it may start in any point but never ends (Sub-commandant Marcos)
