Where we're walkin' he-ah one, we're walkin' he-ah all.
Given the chance that Zohran wins the general and start working on these huge public projects, it might be cool to help comrades move to NYC. There is more organizing to do and a short window to take advantage of momentum.
If I may, uh, borrow a quote from our friends, the imperialists:
Finally, you have broader considerations that might follow what you would call the "falling domino" principle. You have a row of dominoes set up, you knock over the first one, and what will happen to the last one is the certainty that it will go over very quickly. So you could have a beginning of a disintegration that would have the most profound influences.
If we can light up NYC, then we can light up any major or minor city. The finance capital of the world can become the catalyst for the end of finance capital.
To hedge against any struggle sessions. This isn't "You're bad leftist if you don't move your life around for this one event" This is more for people who have the ability/privilege of being able to drop everything. We need comrades everywhere so no sweat if you can't move.
Questions I have:
- Currently, which areas need the most help in terms of organizing?
- Which local orgs can I join and are they connected to national orgs?
- Which areas should non-locals stay away from in the interest of not disrupting current organizing/community efforts?
- What are vooooting requirements/limitations for out-of-towners?
There is no plan. The idea is to begin planning so that if good things happen, people can take advantage of it quickly.
That's why I asked which areas to avoid. You don't show up to a tight-knit community that's already organizing and say "I'm here to organize you." At the same time about half of the people in NYC are not from NY. So someone is moving somewhere and that has to be part of the equation. There are more roles than canvasing.
