Sometimes you just have to larf and let Leftists speak for themselves on video.
This would be one of those times.
First, a tad bit of background: the fifth annual “Law and Disorder Conference” was held in Portland, Oregon this year. See the attractive graphic above. The L$D Conference defines itself as:
This conference calls for people, movements, organizations and collectives to present alternative accounts to the political dimensions of civic engagement, mutual aid and revolution as they relate to economics, politics, invention, technology, work, artistic and cultural production, the body, pedagogy and social change. The conference promises to create a provocative space for comparative critical dialogue between activists, revolutionaries, educators, artists, musicians, scholars, dancers, social/cultural workers, doulas, actors and writers.
Our primary goals are to establish collaboration between individuals, organizations and collectives working on issues related to LGBTIQQAA, Political Prisoners, police and prison abolition, international solidarity, earth and animal liberation and anti-racist organizing.
Great idea. Let’s abolish police. Let’s abolish prisons. But first, let’s let chaos rule at the Disorder Conference. Nihilists and Anarchists unite!

A meeting of Anarcho-Syndicalists devolved into chaos at Portland State University last week. The “Law & Disorder” conference presented by the Students of Unity was disrupted by protesters complaining about “survivor trauma” and the “patriarchal society” which is “prioritizing powerful white men.”
Eventually police were called, causing the protesters to flee.
Anarcho-Syndicalists are a subset of anarchists who believe in a communistic approach to self governance. Their theory is to use revolutionary unionism as a method for workers to destroy the capitalistic society and gain control of the economy. Contrast that with libertarian anarchism, Anarcho-Capitalism, which argues that free markets and voluntary interactions are the greatest moral and ethical good.

Second video: An interesting contrast. The highly disruptive vocal female (type) from the first video was not represented. In fact the participants were unwilling to act or act out when prompted. The setting was too intimate and the participants recognized fallacies, one stating that she didn’t really know the other. Their discomfort proves the lie.
I would love to be able to jump in there. An easy time to illustrate that the hierarchies presented were the speaker’s and his alone in that room. White Savior complex is a progressive or post modern device used to deconstruct society, which held up rather well much to this “agents” chagrin. No takers. Perhaps they sensed the disconnect, maybe even saw through it.
“Their discomfort proves the lie.”
BINGO.

Portland? You get “high” on all the “second hand” smoke from the doobies lit up there.
The best thing I saw there was a Martin Luther King BLVD, with all the blacks hanging out on the street just jacking their jaws,,,doing nothing but talking.
Yes, that is it. What a worthless town.
