Minnesota will remain an island of decency, of justice, of community, and of peace.
These things are not possible with ICE present

Precarious small bourgeoisie with few or no employees can easily align with proles out of class interest
I went to a cool place like that when I visited Chicago
I’m the video where comrade LI presented this, she said something that shocked and inspired me. At the start of 1917, there were only about 20,000 Bolsheviks in a country of 160,000,000.

"When we are united, no one can defeat us!”: Bolivian workers defeat gasolinazo and win new rights
spoiler
After several weeks of mass marches and road blockades, Bolivian workers succeeded in forcing the recently inaugurated neoliberal government of Rodrigo Paz to repeal the controversial Decree 5503, popularly known as the “gasolinazo,” which eliminated hydrocarbon subsidies in Bolivia. The measure promptly raised the prices of several products by as much as 162%.
But, after observing how the protests grew with each passing day and seeking to avoid an uncontrollable scenario for his political project, Paz had to give in to popular demand and eliminate the so-called “Gasolinazo.”
But the victory of the Bolivian people goes beyond the reversal of the neoliberal measure, which had been demanded by the International Monetary Fund for decades. After instituting the gasolinazo, Paz had raised the minimum wage to 3,300 bolivianos (about USD 478), hoping that the popular response would not be so strong.
After several talks with the government, Bolivian workers from the Bolivian Workers’ Union (COB) managed to get the fuel subsidy cut reversed, and maintain the wage increase, which shows not only the strength of the workers’ organization, but also their skill in negotiations.
The gains achieved through the workers’ struggle have transcended purely union issues. According to the COB, the government also agreed that, contrary to the intent of Decree 5503, it would not cede greater control of state natural resources to foreign companies.
Despite lifting of the measures, the COB has announced that it will remain in a state of emergency to ensure that the agreements are fulfilled and that the government does not attempt to reapply these types of measures.
It’s a story you tell at every dinner for the rest of your life for sure

Even the IRGC, all monarchists
lmao fair, but they congregate there when real shit is happening

Shouldn’t be. We know that repression breeds resistance and that Americans have historically been soft because they have rarely felt the boot of the state in the way the rest of the world has. The boomerang is landing hard. The resistance is as inevitable as the fascism.
That’s part of it, but of course that’s not all there is to it. The US state has been killing white people - at random and as political targets - since the very beginning.

Nominally, but proportionally this place is 90% some flavor of ML.
