Love Gabriel Rockhill! He just did a podcast about Western Marxism with Momodou Taal (the student that Cornell tried to deport for disrupting a weapons company career fair) that is incredible https://open.spotify.com/episode/4pz62hjiW2VgWp6OJxN8Am
I cannot recommend The People’s Forum enough. They are an organizing space in New York City and regularly hold really fantastic classes and lectures (most of their content is in the Live tab).

From Ju-Hyun Park, a Nodutdol organizer:
“While far from an anti-imperialist or a socialist, Lee Jae-myung really has no equal among western liberal politicians in his willingness to somewhat stand up to the current govt and even take personal risks like hunger strike. If he goes, the Yoon govt will only be stronger imo”
“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.”
Ok let’s be serious here, do you think Uhuru’s protest should take precedence over what is going on in Palestine right now? There is an active genocide going on and we are talking about the dehumanization of millions of people here. The Palestine march isn’t exactly something that can afford to be moved a week later to accommodate another group.

Probably cause PSL sees elections as a means to spread their revolutionary message and not an end in itself
If anyone here is interested in China's economy and is on Twitter, I'd recommend giving Glenn Luk and Lei Gong a follow. Both of them post very informative threads fairly often.
For me being in an organization the past few years and seeing how useful these kinds of demonstrations have been towards recruitment and building a real working class base makes it clear how crucial it is to engage with these protests. Tens of thousands of people were out there, knowing that the current system isn’t working, and many of them are open to new political ideas. Getting people to sign up for our email list was as easy as taking candy from a baby, and we gained nearly a thousand followers on our local IG page. I’ve honestly never seen such a crowd this receptive to socialist ideas outside of Palestine protests. Sure, this protest isn’t going to end up doing anything on its own, but the next big one we’re going to show up even stronger and have a bigger presence, and same with the next one. It’s all a process—we can’t expect a socialist revolution to happen without putting in the hard work of talking to our class, with all its contradictions.
