I can’t be­lieve people are hold­ing demon­stra­tions today. What in the world is the point? Trump won. Now is the time to es­tab­lish emer­gency re­sponse struc­tures for ra­cist and state at­tacks, and plans for what to do if Trump ac­tu­ally tries to round up Muslims and un­doc­u­mented people. Get real, folks.

Hold­ing demon­stra­tions today just shows that the left is not a polit­ic­al move­ment which aims to change so­ci­ety, but is es­sen­tially a nar­ciss­ist­ic self-help move­ment pro­jec­ted in­to the so­cial realm.

Truth. Self indulgent banner waving against Trump is pointless, empty calls to organise even more so. Potentially more damaging than inaction. What the communist movement in the US needs to do is build infrastructure and support networks asap. Social centers, armed self defence associations, solidarity networks.

If you genuinely think that your government is now fascist then get armed and get ready.

Organize infrastructure, organize mutual aid, organize actual viable resistance.
