Again, I don't disagree. Criticism is warranted and necessary. I will still refrain from attacking the movement as a whole, because it has been, unediably, a crucial aspect of the revival of the left in the imperial core among the younger generations. This is precisely why the movement is most viciously attacked by the right, because they are afraid not of some harmless marches, but from the conclusions that the participants will gather. This is why I hope for the organization to flourish, because the conclusions that individuals will come to is always the same: revolution or capitulation. But getting people to this point is hard, especially in this scale, and has not been achieved in any form in the imeprical core in the last 40 or so years.

So I guess to conclude this hottake, I mean to say that Greta, FFF, or whatever similar organization, while most certainly not in any form revolutionary, is nonetheless the ground upon which we can flourish. Or, of anything, have pulled millions of young people to the left while the trend was drastically going in the other direction. All we have to do is drag them a little further, but some work has already been done for us. This is why I wish FFF etc all the best, despite not being aligned anymore in any form.

I get it, and I agree in some ways. I don't think her or FFF are gonna be the break with imperialism. BUT, it has garnered revolutionary potential. I myself am part of the Greta Generation of naive and propagandized liberals that thought a couple million youths on the street every week could change something. This was a reality check, all of us disillusioned with the system and years of non-progress. Some of us retreated into complicity, but most of us adopted deeply anticapitalist sentiments. Also, many are still in school and have little potential for theoreticaldevelopment. I really think we need to give it some years to see the fruits of this disjunction.

If you'd notice my username, 68 and the years that followed, were carried by a similar development that started with a naive youth movement coming to terms with reality. Similar developmentts can be seen now.

She started a global environmental movement that includes direct action, civil disobedience, and groups that are explicitly anticapitalist. She's done more to disrupt the capitalist machine than most off y'all, and she's barely in her 20s. Y'all really need to pick your enemies differently
