    @laurelai What, in your opinion, is the solution: commit violence or not?

Walls Turned Sideways is a group show with more than 40 artists. The exhibit is curated by Risa Puleo, who splits her time between New York, Texas and Europe. She attended Bard’s Center for Curatorial Studies Program and has a master’s in art history from Hunter College.

    @laurelai I always thought it was akin to moral jiu-jitsu, absorbing the violence done against the non-violent and using that moral force against others, the moral force of refusing to retaliate and to perpetuate the violence.

    @steveland I like what Father Daniel Berrigan said in the prologue to his work, A Sunday in Hell: 'Try to remain as marginal as you can to all of the madness'.

    @laurelai Would that be the case for pacifism or its relative, quietism, or other 'non-violent' direct-action tactics from those perspectives?

    @hntooter It's telling that the rocks lose their ability to evoke sound once they're removed from the site. How much is that like us without communities, hot-house plants outside the greenhouse of social media?

    Marx didn’t look to the working class because of some supposed moral superiority, the clarity of their ideas at any particular moment, or the infinite effectiveness of their trade unions. We have already argued that these things can be as absent among workers as individuals as among members of any other class. No, Marx looked to this class because in capitalist society they were the only other class, besides the bourgeoisie, who had the potential power to change things. Their power flowed from their position in the economy and from their numbers. “Ye are many, they are few,” as the poet Shelley put it.... “Without our brain and muscle not a single wheel would turn,” the Wobblies sang.

    'Those who work out of “personnel supply agencies” have grown from 640,000 in 1987 to over 3 million in mid-1999'.

    Does it seem that the only thing left to do is to go and safely block traffic, one lane at a time, allowing room for emergency vehicles to travel?

    'Once the CIO won all that capitalism would allow it … sitdowns and mass struggle gave way to union administration, dues collection, labor board briefs, detailed negotiations. The swivel-chair tribe began its own long-lasting sitdown in union office' (Len De Caux).

      The Rank and File Strategy
      The labor movement is the critical institution for the Left. Socialists should root themselves in it — not as supporters from afar or paid staff, but as rank-and-file workers.
