The situation in U.S is an interesting one and i want to contribute but the problem is I'm thousands of miles away and i dont have much to give besides my knowledge. This is the point when class struggle is heightened. The ruling class is scared, they have deployed the armed repressive wings of the capitalist state- the militarized police, the army and paramilitary organisations. The president of capitalist nightmare that is the united states is hiding in a bunker much like someone else whose subsequent actions at this point he should follow.

When Americans were dying by the tens of thousands due to the current pandemic, not a store was shuttered nor a comprehensive national curfew was put in place after all that affected the profits of those that run the U.S they didn't care about the lives of of the workers. Interestingly, now protests are on going "all of sudden shops are shut in fear of looting". A box of pop-tarts has more worth than your life in the eyes of the ruling class.

Just because they're afraid does not mean they dont have a plan. At the end of the day this is a spontaneous Uprising. Where we currently stand there is no revolution, just unless rage. There is no organisation, no one is armed, nothing of value is really being done. This is the price the american left pays for decade and a half of no proper political organisation as well as electoralism and election pushing. THE BALLOT DOES NOT WORK, IT'S TIME FOR THE BULLET. If the people stop short of the finish line now, what they'll get is a few resignations, reshuffling of governors, more meaningless elections and inflammatory documentary about the events 20 years down the line.

In order for these protests to turn into something worthwhile, something that will bring about true change there needs to be strong organisations with iron will and ready to do what it takes to not just push the hands of the ruling class, but to cut them off completely.

° Americans need a central and coordinated efforts with multiple strings of leadership. You need to be committed to a goal. You must align interests of all protesting people and direct it towards the ruling bourgeois class. This goes for anarchists, democrats as well. Must gather common goals of racial equality, gender equality and workers rights. Liberals will get in the way as usual.

° Be sure to harness the energy of this massive uprising before it fizzles out and it most likely will fizzle out if nothing is done. Sustain the momentum by taking advantage of the states active repression. In their stupidity they're shooting people, they're arresting people and killing. They're sending the military. Had they(state) had some sense, they'd pretend to go along with it, throw in a couple of lukewarm reforms that would appease the liberals and waited it out until people went back to their work. But no they stepped up the repression. This is the perfect situation that revolutionary organizations can use. Learn from the chinese revolution and russian revolution, talk to people and get their complaints to form the revolutionary program. POLICE REFORM, ABOLISHING STUDENTS DEBT, UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE, HOUSING FOR ALL. The american people will scream out for this.



° The ruling class of U.S will not a acquiesce to these demands. This can propel the rage of people even further. If they do accept these demands the ruling class is trembling and they fear they might lose their power. In this case you shouldn't accept their concessions, destroy their power because remember a minute after people dies down they'll get to work eroding those gains. We must Learn from history.

° The U.S military and the police will never join a potential revolution in U.S They are a barrier to revolution. These are the agents of capitalist state worldwide to rob and steal and murder, all for the wealth and power of the bourgeoisie. Reactionary mindset is manufactured in american military and police. For every soldier to lay down their weapons and join the revolution there will thousands more who would crack skulls and shoot down children. We saw it in Iraq already. Remember, American police is recruited from almost exclusively from far right circles. The state repression will only get worse.

° The people not only should but need to fight back. Do not let fascism take hold. The United states is only a step away. Arm yourself but remember, never indulge in terrorist activities, only military and state targets. People's war is the solution if you truly want radical change and to turn USA from an agent of bad to agent of good. This may begin a civil war even.

A war between working class and ruling classes lackeys and agents. As the ruling class never fights themselves. They hide behind their lackeys.

° For all those who fear supposed might of U.S military, remember its made up of men, of flesh and blood just like you. They're nothing but a paper tiger. If Iraqis in flip flops with Rusty Ak's defeated them, If Russian peasants defeated them in 1917 then you can too. The regimes forces fight for a paycheck, you fight for your very existence. At one point there(military) life is going to be more to them than the capital thrown at them for defending the capitalist state. As for people who fear of media and its effect, dont. You're painted negatively when you're peacefully protesting, youre still being painted negatively, you will be painted negatively if and when you become violent. And if these protests fail you'll still be painted negatively. The ruling class owns the media and will use it always against you. Fight back against their propaganda by educating others and spread the word.

Just about everything you wrote was incorrect...

I hear ABC is looking for another fake news foreign correspondent. Make sure to put in an application.

The original post is a work of fiction, in it's
entirety. And, quite hilarious.

Oh, you mean that church the protesters tried to burn down? I thought we had federal laws about burning churches? Something about religious discrimination?

Why are people who aren't from US worried about it. Don't like the president well I'd so move but you don't live here!
It wouldn't matter who was in office. Someone or another would be offended or disappointed. We had riots when Obama was in office.
Human decency is what this world needs. Seems to be in short supply these days.

I do not agree that people should not care or worry about things that don't impact them. I think that things like slavery and Hitler would have never been changed without people that were not directly impacted acting upon it. I do agree that we need more human decency.
