I’m envious of the way the French protest their government. They’re literally setting things on fire because their schools aren’t adequate. Because the government tried to raise the retirement age. Because their politicians are shitbags.

I think the biggest obstacle to organizing in the US is the sheer distance. It takes 40 solid hours of driving to get from one side to the other. That’s not counting any breaks. France takes about 14 hours. Doable in a day or so if you push it.

Anyway, I’d sign up for a Revolution if there was a serious contender.

    1. No war, stop all aid to Israel

    2. Abolish ICE

    3. Medicare for all

    Seems like a reasonable start.

      No genocide, no proxy wars, no funding separitists, mercenaries, coups.

      No election interference at home or abroad.

      End all embargoes, release political prisoners, stop meddling in the Caribbean, LatAm, Asia, everywhere.
