A popular taxonomy identifies four kinds of activists. At our best, our movements and organizations support all four, and see how they work together to make the world a better place. At their worse, they form a template for how our enemies can pit us against each other and Make Activism Gross Again.

Those four are: Advocate, Helper, Organizer, and Rebel.

However, history has shown that Rebels are the one most worth giving resources and labor to.

You know what that means. Protracted people’s war against NorthStar and Momentum NGOism, baby. We voted for BDS and ignoring it shows true intentions, a slip of the hand that involves all 52 cards on the floor.

If you’re indistinguishable from OurRevolution, go join OurRevolution. Stop putting OurRev people in unelected positions, like our most recent ‘electoral’ person, a paid position that had no vote, and no accountability.

Rise, rebels. They gave you an even cooler name than wreckers, so get to it and organize.

Socialism for All, Universal Healthcare for All, for the many, not Verso Books Presents: A Jacobin Speaker Series
