It's International Women's Day. As it stands, women hold up most of the sky. We dudes gotta do better. Until we hold up our half and stop loading our duties onto the shoulders of our revolutionary sisters, we will have disunity.

Critical mass has to be achieved. The masses being clearly on your side is the only thing that makes repression politically dangerous for the state instead of easy.
Security culture, mass work, community service, and political patience are certainly not cowardice. They are actually what keep movements alive long enough to actually win.
Without deep roots among the people, without broad support, the state can pick people off one by one and force situations like this where someone is isolated, scared, and pressured to testify against their own comrades.
Political prisoners deserve solidarity, even when we disagree with their timing or tactics. Repression is repression.
But we must also say that revolution is not the action of a few determined individuals. It is the action of the masses.
That is how movements and actions get hemmed up.
Firstly: This is not about condemning people who fight the state. Adventurism is often just the label the left uses when it wants the left to denounce its own militants. We should not participate in that.
Be careful.
This is why I caution about security culture and about understanding when you are actually moving. Discipline and patience matter. When people act before the conditions are mature, the state isolates them and turns their courage into a lesson meant to scare everyone else.

Then you comrades return to the masses as organized force. Isolation becomes solidarity, fear becomes leverage, and a building of strangers becomes a political body capable of confrontation. Thatβs the Mass Line in action
The fragments of experience get synthesized and returned as structure: a meeting, a demand letter, a strike pledge, a repair deadline. Investigation, then synthesis.
You knock doors, listen to complaints about rent, mold, and harassment. At first, it seems individual and apolitical.
But then the clear patterns emerge: this isnβt bad luck, itβs landlord power; this isnβt personal failure, itβs organized extraction backed by the state.
