Today 4,000 Amazon workers at a North Carolina warehouse will finish voting on a union. Employees say the company “mobilized an army” ahead of the election, siccing local police on organizers and trying to pit black and Hispanic workers against each other.
With the cops, it isn’t really infiltration. It is already a far right institution and they know when to make racist jokes amongst themselves vs. how to act in public.
The task is to spread consciousness of the function of the police and why the criminal punishment system will not provide justice, just oppression of the left. To combat cops we must be organized and knowledgable, which by and large most people are not, including those who call themselves left, socialist, etc.
If any reader is not in an org, I recommend that you join one. If you don’t feel comfortable choosing one yet, then focus on your political education until you can. Read the history and theory of socialism, become media critical and literate, and be ready to understand the world much better, e.g. of needing to know productivity, export values, and balances of payment in order to correctly orient yourweld politically. You can only find correct ideas by discriminating between them using facts. And then, once organizing, make sure to educate others and recruit organically but with urgency.
