I can't tell the future but we neeed to build consensus and prepare for unity. There needs to be more that a GS, now is the time to form committes of resistance in every locality . Not to prepare for a class struggle but to be ready and not just hold protests that will end after a week . These committies or community of resistance will bring people together outside of the traditional establishment groups . They have to be democratic communities that our people led not elite led by any self seeking secterian grouping. I would stay away from anti this and that slogans and concentrate on the needs of people for affordability . for saving social security, for an end to wealth takers taking too much . For a new plan on house building that is planned on the baisis of need not profit , for free universal health care , for an end to student tuition and debt , for a climate change plan that protects people . for control of AI that servers the needs of workers . There needs to be a peoples agenda that will unify and resist and bring real change . This will take time and needs to start like last week . The need for unity is critical and it has to be a unified proactive unity that refuses to wait until the only option is a reactive response which leads to division and defeat, For the many not the few . Our greatest enemy is our selves our greatest strenth is our numbers and knowing that the arc of history bends towards justice and liberation for all .
