How do you figure china is already technofeudalist if you don't compare/contrast it with other countries?

Its just more organized at doing it due to its authoritarianism

More organized than who? Which country are you referring to if not America?

I think you'll find that you can't do analysis in isolation. A country's character does not exist only in relation to its internal structure, but also in relation to other countries and their structures. Basic dialectics.

I don't think this plan is well thought out

There is no plan. The idea is to begin planning so that if good things happen, people can take advantage of it quickly.

the Queens grandmothers are not going to be happy when you knock on the door to canvas and they ask you "where are you from" and you say "i just moved here"

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.

One Dead Vanderbilt Building

 

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:

  1. Currently, which areas need the most help in terms of organizing?
  2. Which local orgs can I join and are they connected to national orgs?
  3. Which areas should non-locals stay away from in the interest of not disrupting current organizing/community efforts?
  4. What are vooooting requirements/limitations for out-of-towners?

These people are going to do this. They will send people to steal from these stores and make a silly ebay listing. If that doesn't work they'll send people to poison the food in the stores. NYC is going to need a lot of help from leftists to make these projects work.

You've been promoted to incorporeal.

 

We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don’t know what the fuck they’re doing.

Vietnam Veteran tours in Vietnam, advertised in Vietnam magazine, vexes Vietnam veteran when the Vietnamese military votes to vacate the veteran visits. Veteran of Vietnam vows vendetta.

It's a sparkling conflict, not a real war.

His people spent all morning going on the Sunday news shows, telling everyone this isn't a war and everything is complete. Then he just drops "You know what? Why shouldn't we coup Iran?"

Sounds like you want to stay in the comedy-action-horror triangle, maybe with a little bit of room for a thriller. I wouldn't overthink it.

If everyone liked Rear Window try Under the Silver Lake. Male loneliness + Hollywood exploitation + Billionaire conspiracy. The movie itself has hidden messages and codes in it. Nothing subtly communist though. More like 70s paranoia but for today.

The Blob (1988) is supposed to be a nice inversion of the original, and counter to cold war sentiments of the time. I can't vouch because I have yet to watch it.

Enemy of the State, classic 90s Will Smith and Gene Hackman being an unofficial older version of his character in The Conversation. It has a faster pace and a bit more action than The Conversation. It got a jump on the post-9/11 surveillance state stuff.

None of these are particularly communist. However they might incept your friends with the idea that the government and elites are corrupt and dangerous.
