What do they think they’ll actually achieve by that?
Filling up the prisons? Like they wouldn’t just build camps within a matter of days.
Or do they think mass arrests will spawn major support from the rest of the people? If that would be true, we’d already be living in fully automated luxury space communism.
No, it’s purely symbolic. The arrests are prenegotiated with police who then do "catch and release"detainment, often not even arrests.
Same tactics that Fight for 15 used. I remember when burger town, or whatever it was called in Portland, unionized, some big shot from the LA branch came in to give us a pep talk about how organizing can’t be done that way anymore and the Fight for 15 was doing it right using the catch and release tactic seen here. Basically condescendingly trashed them for no reason.
I was done with them when they blocked a subway car in a working class neighborhood of London. If they can’t have class solidarity then fuck 'em
