if a position of authority can be misused in this way, that position of authority should not exist. It's clearly not enough to simply change who is in that position, no more than praying that the next king be better than the last.

We will all be real one day, forever real and free.

We've been trying to become real for millenia, bogged down and persecuted by the states of the past and present. We naturally dont feel in tune with this system because we wish to live our life free. Accepting the current system is a betrayal of our nature and consequently we are degraded by it.

I realized last night that what I want most from anarchism is to become "real", not real in the sense that I or others dont exist. Real in the sense that I gain full agency, that im not turned into a number, just a part of the population by the state.

So many innocents have died already and many more will soon, all because of idiotic fascists who overestimate themselves. I can hardly even fault this man for what he might do in retaliation, I'd completely lose my mind if I lost my wife, mother, and nieces.

Know that many of the GOP throughout the nation are JUST like this, down to the murder fantasies, its just hidden better. They view minorities as worthless obstacles to power that should be discarded after a win. The GOP must be destroyed, we already have a conservative party anyway and its the DNC.

These fucking FASCISTS want us broken and DEAD so the government of Israel can keep BOMBING BABIES and PROTECTING PEDOPHILES. I wont just let them force us into another Afghanistan and I wont let the revolutionary spirit of the Iranian people be abused like this. No to war, death to imperialism!

These warmongering cunts want to send our generation into another war to serve zionist interests. They are a fucking DEATH CULT trying to jumpstart Armageddon. They want to manipulate the Kurds into dying for Iranian subjugation.

As an executive, Mayor Mamdani is forced to govern, making the tension Pannekoek warns of especially acute. To satisfy the capitalist class and media, Mamdani has proposed NYPL cuts—reneging on campaign promises. Executives often sacrifice workers to maintain state stability. 2/4

Mamdani’s success and DSA’s are now linked. To counter the oligarchs, we must empower members to push back on these cuts & sweeps. This coordination requires open communication & deep democracy in NYC-DSA, building a movement that doesn’t just manage the state, but holds our leaders accountable.

This "duty" to govern leads to the restart of homeless sweeps. Even with a 7-day warning, sweeps kill and displace. As Pannekoek says, the role of public official eventually forces the use of police against the vulnerable to maintain "order" for the capitalist class. 3/4

Also in this way a majority did not come soon enough. So to attain
some of its aims the Socialist Party had to make alliances, alliances with other parties. Sometimes in parliament, sometimes already at the polls, sometimes after the polls. This was called then “constructive policy,” which means: reduction of the workers’ demands to that minimum that even the capitalist class cannot seriously object to.
Now Socialists get government posts; they become town mayors,
aldermen, even ministers. Not as independent delegates of the working
class, but by the consent of their allies, delegates of the capitalist class. This is called “conquest of power step by step,” or “not being afraid of taking responsibilities.”
What are these responsibilities? As aldermen or ministers, they have
to manage the general affairs of state or town under capitalism. Of course they cannot take socialist measures. They have to conduct affairs for capitalism. They certainly try to get some reforms for the workers. As far as capitalism allows it. But most things they have to see to are interests of capitalist society.
So Social Democrats grow into the role of capitalist politicians.
Surely they are different from the hardboiled brutal type of capitalist
politicians, who uphold the authority of the ruling class by brute force.
They have more humanity, they introduce reforms, they try to smooth
down the class antagonism and to render capitalism more endurable.
They think themselves Socialist politicians, taking the first steps in transforming capitalism into socialism. But when fierce struggles arise, strikes
or hunger revolts, they have, as public officials, the duty to send police or
militia against the revolting workers. A Socialist mayor who assists the
strikers from public funds, and sends the police against the Pinkertons,
is a white raven and would be removed by a higher authority very soon.

In "The Workers' Way to Freedom," Pannekoek warns that socialists in power often become "delegates of the capitalist class." When we hold office under capitalism, the pressure to manage the status quo, rather than transform it, is immense. 🧵 1/4

Fucking nazis have executed another person today, when will it be enough for us? This government does not represent us, does not serve us, and doesnt care about us. Keep eachother safe during interactions against ICE, they will use any excuse to attack and the police wont interfere, so you have to.

And the Republicans can NEVER be trusted to be decent humans again, there are only two sides now in that party: Nazis and Liars. Where is the condemnation of James Fishback, the open white supremacist running for Florida? If they were decent humans they'd have told him to FUCK OFF but they haven't.
