I’m gonna be real. I’m getting tired of seeing news articles about things that are obviously going to be happening under capitalism.
Yes they are privatizing everything. Yes they are killing everything and everyone.etc etc etc.
Is there a community, or an interest at all, where we can post something and talk about praxis?
So instead of “they are ruining healthcare!”. Could maybe have at least one community where it’s:
They are ruining healthcare (article) and my town and I have started organizing against it.
Or : there are so many homeless! (Article) we started this mutual aid group. Any advice?
I just think it can become a distraction from real action constantly reinforcing what we know, without an effort or recognition of each other’s praxis.
I get where your coming from but I’d also like to point out that for me personally these articles come in pretty handy when I’m discussing these things that we know will happen with friends that don’t. They’re a useful tool to back up my arguments when I try radicalizing people, as it’s helpful to be able to point to specific instance where these things are happening right now, in an effort to convince others that theories established long ago are correct.
You’re right of course. I suppose it’s frustrating knowing there are dozens of us and we don’t have a place to share successes and failures of praxis. Maybe I have internalized the sentiment that social media is a distraction from action.
