5. Controlling narratives is important.
This gives great opportunities to do so.

Those are just some that come to mind. Perhaps in short, the more people involved on ANY level creates possibilities that weren’t there before.

That’s at least my humble underexperienced take.

4. I’ve learned from my limited experience union organizing that the first step to bolder action is just getting people out the door. Once you crack that, opportunities grow. Even if milquetoast, it is now a new baseline. Today we are talking about what type of action, not if we have any at all.

3. It begins to build communities of resistance. The first step towards change = imagining a better future, to form solidarity, etc. MOST protests don’t cause immediate change. But that’s only one goal of direct action. I recommend looking at José Medina’s work on resistance for more on this.

I think it is important to disclose that I have close Antifa connections. It’s true. Several family members were enlisted, heavily armed members of the Antifa movement in the 1930s to 1940s. They flew B-17s that bombed the shit out of Nazis and they fought on the ground to free concentration camps.
