PSL didn't out-organize anyone. They swooped in and co-opted marches and occupations that they had little part in creating. This is what authoritarian leftists ALWAYS do. They don't create movements; they steal them. They steal valor, they steal credit, and they steal control.

@MillerForTexas These tests hardly measure student mastery of subjects. I would know, I’m a Texas public school teacher. All they measure is how well students learn to take tests and follow instructions. But we need to teach children how to solve real world problems, not how to take tests.

Those fighting for liberation need to stop fighting for “truth”. Fight for narratives. It’s not enough to be right, because most times we are. Narratives are stronger than “truth” in the realm of class struggle. Narratives create understanding, and drive people to action.
