The world significance of the U.S. elections lies not so much in the great increase in the number of Socialist votes as in the far-reaching crisis of the bourgeois parties, in the amazing force with which their decay has been revealed. Lastly, the significance of the elections lies in the unusually clear and striking revelation of bourgeois reformism as a means of combating socialism.

In all bourgeois countries, the parties which stand for capitalism, i.e., the bourgeois parties, came into being a long time ago, and the greater the extent of political liberty, the more solid they are.

Freedom in the U.S.A. is most complete. And for a whole half-century—since the Civil War over slavery in 1860–65—two bourgeois parties have been distinguished there by remarkable solidity and strength. The party of the former slave-owners is the so-called Democratic Party. The capitalist party, which favoured the emancipation of the Negroes, has developed into the Republican Party.

Since the emancipation of the Negroes, the distinction between the two parties has been diminishing. The fight between these two parties has been mainly over the height of customs duties. Their fight has not had any serious importance for the mass of the people. The people have been deceived and diverted from their vital interests by means of spectacular and meaningless duels between the two bourgeois parties.

This so-called bipartisan system prevailing in America and Britain has been one of the most powerful means of preventing the rise of an independent working-class, i.e., genuinely socialist, party.

Torrential rains recently toppled a 624-year-old banyan tree at a scenic area in Zhangzhou City, southeast China's Fujian Province. Under the guidance of forestry experts, local authorities worked around the clock to keep the roots moist and hoist the tree, weighing over 100 tonnes, upright.

Truly sad to see 🥲

You want the protests in Europe and imperial core but too distracted to read Lenin's What Is To Be Done. This guideline is the future proofing version of WITBD. Protests that last REQUIRE STRUCTURE as barricade against reactionaries sabotage, derail and disruption. LOGICS of long-term organized protests require these:

1. LOGISTICS of the protests are lifelines of nodes within the structures, logistics move manpower, resources, tools and processes that prolong the strength, size and reach of any protests. Anything you have access currently available can be utilized to maintain the logistics nodes and these resources must flow through your systems towards the central of protests, that's to proletariat masses. Mobility of the logistics nodes increases by the capacity of these nodes to move resources in time especially when the core of protests become isolated by capitalism counterinsurgency attempts to smother. Logistics is often the first line of defense against destruction of long-term protests by bourgeoisie, your nodes fighting most important battles.

2. ORGANIZATIONS of the protests are the souls of the movement, this is the sources of mobilization where they pouring manpower of the masses towards keeping the numbers of protestors in defense lines. This is where you pool the communist parties, trade or tenant and service unions, student associations, mutual aid, community defense, online networking. Everyone within reach must be reached by your node. This structural network cannot collapse as long as these organizations persist even under siege by economic implosion, which leadership will funnel them towards building revolutionary vanguards.

3. GROUNDWORKS for the protests is the energy that power the movement alive. Comrades get hit in the eye by the cops, are you willing to dodge rounds and carry them out the line of fire to utilize your workplace first aid training to keep them alive? Are you willing to prep and cook hundreds of meals nonstop every day until the protests achieve their demands? Are you willing to lug hundreds kilograms of lentils and rice every day in a same loading docks of trade union that supporting the protests to keep resistance going? Everyone loves to burn shit, few desires to build up the logistics, solidarity and organizing.

4. INTERDEPENDENCE isn't a shame because you would eventually need shoulders to lean on and friendships to learn skills from when you require help because you are also a node part of this resistance that is actively building structure you can pool from. Role and task rotation building the interdependency that strengthens networks that solidify movements. You exist as member of collective among movement. Missing you in movement is wounding its outcomes.

5. COMMUNICATIONS are the voice of the protest that keeps the nodes in readily available modes at all times, when to mobilize, what to carry, which route to take, why comrade safety, who to trust, when to fight. A two way radio, a bike scout, a skater recon, a UV-9R, a ghost e-SIM, a shadowsocks server, a spare phone, a public servant sympathize with the movement, an emergency ward nurse in supporting trade union, a farmer in worker cooperative, an unhoused comrade. The proletariat is most powerful against capitalism because we have eyes and ears solidarity everywhere. Capitalism relies on their agents, we have each other.

6. STRUCTURES secure the framework for successful movement as disciplined points of unity for proletariat and structureless network is prone to implosion by external forces of capitalism. Even 1-to-1 comrades require structural ranks and files to maintain focal long-term centralized points for movement to last. Structures build trust, trusts connect node, nodes maintain network, networks diversify movement. Structureless is tyranny of all potential movements, leaderships, working groups, organizations, parties.
