We're not going to be ready for it, as socialists. You need a vanguard party to give political coherence and demands to spontaneous outbursts like that, as well as the ability to turn them into sustained projects. We need a party more than anything;

The police are feeling emboldened by Trump and acting even shittier than usual, people are getting more pissed off at them than usual, so it’s definitely possible that the nothing ever happens crew could soon be in shambles.
Despite earnest efforts from many actual socialist groups, I think we're still on a backfoot. It's gonna be a hot summer, but not for the pigs.

There are clips on that page from today in Paramount, CA where agents met pretty decent resistance, people aren't having it, these aren't black bloc or any sort of dedicated revolutionaries mostly it seems like, just regular people, which gives me some hope. But it does seem to be escalating.
I am 100% open to being shown otherwise, however my current view is that no conflict will occur.
Liberals will show up in droves with their Ukraine and Taiwan flags, stand around shouting platitudes, do nothing, demand nothing, and get sent home when they’ve been beaten up enough by the state security forces without ever fighting back.
For all practical purposes, there is no Left in America, and the ones that proudly proclaim it are too busy condemning each other online for not conforming to their perfect idea of the ideal Marxist proletariat (because that is totally our greatest priority in a political state where leftism doesn’t even exist) because god forbid they help a real person instead of telling other Marxists they deserve to be “proletariatized” for having a STEM education and are a fascist, actually, for consuming an egg.
Liberals are the majority of these crowds and they fundamentally cannot change the system they are themselves supporting, as we all already know.
The only thing left is collapse IMO.
Yep. Literally and politically, what, with all that summer wildfire in Canada spreading here and there
That must be a symbol and literal symptom to come.
It's been pleasantly cool here this year actua- oh you meant something else.
Gonna be so hot we enter The Cool Zone 
Hot couch summer
Maybe. I think there will have to be something huge to kick it off (again).
There's no lockdown this time, and people don't have time after work to burn down a pigstation.
i think it's gonna be a Cruel Summer. the o.g. bananarama one, obv.
People say that every summer now. Its already June and I'm not seeing it. I think hot like a badly managed compost shack breeding moskitos in pools of standing goo.
I’m not sure, it’s just vibes but at least in my area people including the baby leftists and borderline libs seem PISSED
Well I hope you are right and I'm wrong.
Remind me bot 3 months
Hey, I can't help where I live.
no i don't think i'll be getting la- oh you meant something else
lots of rain so far
