So I have read a great many things about the Ferguson insurrection that we are living through and the various protests. One person wrote a letter from Oakland that could be entitled From The Barricades. He says the pacifist protests are being transformed into a form of street fighting, even first stage revolutionary violence. He says that the pacifists and more radical forces are fighting pitched battles over the leadership and direction of the struggle, and that we may even see long term urban barricades and radical General Assemblies to act as direct democracy and dual power in the cities. This is quite exciting and shows us all the possibilities. Nobody knows what is going to happen, but it is good to hear what is happening now even in these early stages. Hope others will give first hand reports. Dont forget one thing, no successful revolution will not take place that does not include Blacks and POC, the homeless and poor, and others locked out of this system. Those from communities being killed by the pigs must be brought into the struggle and made leaders. The white middle class pacifist misleadership must be ideologically defeated. We want revolution, not reform.
