Re: Feel-good complacency or direct action? The lessons of Tent State Rutgers

Ben makes an interesting point here:

"and now that i checked, i did notice that the rutgers antifascist caucus notified the organizers of tent state about this article, and about the existence of their group, and attempted to engage in productive dialog that involves rational thought out positions."

It was the absence of any meaningful dialogue on the part of certain Tent State staffers, when concerns were brought up, that lead to people feeling they had no option but autonomous action. Hell, one of them even challenged an antifa to a fight.

To suggest that a collective of individuals who felt marginalized and patronized by the actions and privileged attitudes of certain Tent State staffers, who came together to undertake an autonomous action, to suggest that they needed to inform and/or get permission from anyone else is rank arrogance. Ben, check yourself and your reformist privileged views at the door.

Autonomy, reality, solidarity.
