Yes. I’m a member of a number of local mutual aid orgs and other groups that I started working more closely with after my home state was invaded by ICE.
If you’re writing off all liberals then your view makes sense. At our no kings the Brown Berets showed up to protect those you are spurning. Many years ago I attended a UFW march that was also protected by the Brown Berets and it shocked an out of town liberal white woman who compared the union march to the Nazis. These people tend to only see aesthetics so the march is a good opportunity to make unusual alliances. That’s the concrete achievement of my local Marxist-lennist org, but that probably doesn’t make sense to the terminally online.
here’s my own comment from just yesterday about this:
plus this is the perfect opportunity to organize to go literally talk to them.
if not us, fascism will find a way to, like we’ve seen in the past so often.
not all of these people are militant irreducible libs.
your misdirected assumptions and condescending tone are definitely not convincing me or anyone.
my point is: what concrete things did the liberals on the protests actually achieve so far yet? what would you do to make it more effective?

if that is true, then you should know what’s effective and what isn’t.

I think liberals doing trust exercises with marxists and others from different political leanings is the effective part.
this is true where it applies, but not really my point.
