What's the breaking point?

[alonso ramoran]

There's going to be violence. Who do you target? What is the strategy?



I'm more interested in the nature of violence than I am in committing violence.

i don’t think there can be a strategy until we actually encounter the issue that demands that specific strategy. but again i do think the framework that would be most effective to work from is guerrilla warfare.

If you want to hit Capitalism, don't think in terms of -isms, that too is co-opted by the system. All this is built into the system.



Violence is only necessary when you are being shutdown. Physically shutdown.

some isms teach exactly not to think in terms of isms. what do you think of those isms?

What is the end solution? Is it something that must be improvised since to have a goal starting out leads to a static and distracted obsession with ideology?



People don't join the military with a goal in mind other than their own.

in a way, yes i do think the solution is something that must be improvised after investigating the current material conditions, otherwise we can become too dogmatic in our approaches.

What is the nature of the Power that is the problem?

the nature of power that’s the problem is that it’s concentrated in a way that makes our society top-heavy and stupid.

How are you going to recruit your fighters?



What is their incentive?

so i think gang members are the people most likely to gravitate towards urban guerilla warfare. but like i’ve said, the thing that i think must come first are the non-violent aspects. free clinics, community gardens and farms are all ideal, but in the situation for recruiting a lumpen proletarian strata of society such as gang members for guerrilla warfare, political education could be the non-violent strategy that spearheads the recruitment process, but ofc i think it must be done in tandem with the other nonviolent things that actually improves the material conditions of the area, otherwise you are simply an outsider that’s spewing some fantastical bullshit about socialist revolution, and that might not work out well for you if you’re talking to the wrong person.

What abilities do you have that will be effective to motivate your movement?

I'm trying to finish college to get my degree for architecture. After that I plan on living pretty much in debt and in poverty and using what knowledge I have for mutual aid. Shit is not my movement by the way.

What do you get out of the bargain?



Are you ready to do it right now?

No, but there are people out there who currently are and are putting in the work.

Are you interested in strategies and practical ability that you and others you feel competent in have? 



Are you willing to give your existence to this goal?

Yes

How will you convince others?

Mostly through action, hardly through debates.

Is theory strong, or is it a hindrance?

Theory is a must.

How do you choose your brothers in arms?



How do you decipher trust?

Based on how they serve their people.

Are you ok with collateral damage? 

This is why I think armed revolution must come after the nonviolent parts (ie building dual power). It must be launched not *with the consent of* the people, but BY the people. If the people have something that they built themselves and is now in danger of being destroyed, they will fight. But they must be shown that they can fight and they can win if they're to have that confidence, and that's where educating each other of other guerilla units around the world who have succeeded comes into play.

Have you ever fired a gun?

I've been shooting at a range but I've never had serious training before. I plan on it as well as training in martial arts like Muay Thai.

Have you ever killed a human being?

plead the 5th

What is the relation of the people who shoot up schools to Capitalism?

The violence of imperialism, which is, simply put, capitalism that expanded overseas since its nature is constant expansion, must come home to roost. These shootings are exactly that happening.

Are you willing to sacrifice your family or anything for the goal?

This all goes back to not being an adventurist and not doing whatever you want in the name of revolution.

How do you define freedom?

I'd like to take a speed rail from the East to West Coast with family and friends and maybe write a poem along the way without worrying about the expenses or encounters with bigots and abusers. I would like my sister to go out dancing one night and not have to worry about being on the news the next morning, or simply forgotten, with her killer on the loose because maybe he's a police officer. I'd like to own the things I produce along with the workers around me. I want us all to be proud of our work because we made it while we were adequately fed and sheltered and because of that it's work made with love and care. I want black and brown babies to not be ashamed of how they look. I want our babies to not fear going to school because our culture breeds nihilistic fucks and tells them it's okay to have a gun that's meant for killing large quantities of people. I want a world where structures are built by and for disabled folks. This is freedom, and there's still more to it. I won't compact its definition to a single broad-sweeping sentence.

If you had all the people and equipment you needed to get the show on the road, what would you say right now at this moment as your rally cry?



What makes me and you and any of our compatriots any more capable than George Jackson and anyone we learn any of our tactics from?









What is going to be the deciding factor in this particular parlay against the U. S. Superpower?







What is the long searched out exception that will be a new deciding factor?

These last questions are all kinda idealistic that should be answered when the time comes. Until then, there's no use in mulling them over.
