Half the reason kids have the damn food is to kill the main recruiting tool of the black panthers
I would like to mention though, that I was critiqued by (western) MLs and (Western/Southern American) Trotzkists for advocating for kitchens for all and social programs which ensure food security esp. for kids and some parts of the working class. Why? Cause “Marxism is revolutionary and revolution doesn’t happen by creating food kitchens and food donation places.”
“Marxism is revolutionary and revolution doesn’t happen by creating food kitchens and food donation places.”
When we were doing mutual aid during the pandemic, the easiest way to get your foot in the door for Marxism was when you were the friendly person handing a crate of food, not the scowling weirdo on the keyboard.
Even the cartels understood this lol. This is why a lot of poor communities support them despite their deranged evilness. At the end of the day, no matter how just and moral your cause is, humans have to eat. If your cause is too high and mighty to feed others, then you can’t complain when they choose the other options
yes it really does. Look at the church and all the power they have in society. At the end of the day that power comes from running events, community support programs and childcare in places without much of that
There is power in being the people that people go to when they are down and out
We’ve been getting a lot of feedback that our stance on free school meals is wrong-headed and evil. Well, that may be, but ask yourself, do you really want to do something The Black Panthers did?!"
“The Black Panthers?! I’m never feeding my children again!”
Free school meals are such a small (from a financial and tax perspective) and feel-good issue that even libs support it. You have to be crazy to be against this, it is not like it costs a lot or there is some big demographic just clamoring for school meals to not be free.
It’s like with Thatcher and the free school milk she abolished
It’s not so much about the actual financials, it’s more about crushing people’s spirits, teaching them there’s no magic meal tree or whatever
the conservative project is purposely breaking government so they can point at how it doesn’t work
And the liberal project is to be so incompetent as to make everyone believe it.
republicans are sociopaths. it’s funny how for years “bleeding heart” was such an insult for conservatives. “HOW DARE YOU EMPATHIZE”
In North Korea, the Supreme Leader and his cronies conspire to starve the children. They do this in other to increase desperation and the children are forced to “volunteer” to work at an early age, lest they incur school lunch debt and get hunted down by the Secret Police Forces. In addition, this is also done because North Korea does not have enough food to give to children and must recycle uneaten prison rats and mush after the prisoners have already died.
