Boycott the professional left!! Boycott the
professional left!!
Open Letter to the Professional Left
The "hierarchy" of the professional left has decided that working class, working poor, homeless, and disabled people should not have a say in leadership or the decision-making process especially when it is related to money in the
movement and what kind of activities are funded. I, for one, am not going to anymore of their marches, teach-ins, or any other events. I urge all real class-conscious activists who believe in class war to boycott all of their events and to stop donating money to these fake left groups. The hierarchy of these groups are the same people who would step over or ignore a homeless person on their way to an anti-war march. The war and other issues of oppression happening outside this country are very important, but they are not the only issue. Why don't these professional left groups ever worry about the oppressed poor and homeless in this country, or for that matter, right in their own hometown. Why? Because then that would require them to actually possibly do something and possibly come face to face with the poor and homeless. Marching, carrying a banner, and crying for the poor Iraqi boy is easy because you don't have to see him. The professional left has had plenty of opportunities over the years to do something real and relevant but instead they choose to live off the images of dead radicals and political prisoners from the 1960`s.
Over the years many events have occured like the assassinations of Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr., and the government's destruction of the militant underground units in the 1960`s. All of these events were tremendous setbacks for the most oppressed groups in society and yet the professional left has failed to provide any radical alternatives for the oppressed.
The only thing the professional left seems to be good at doing these days are their "once-a-year-liberal-guilt-marches". The specific groups do not need to be named, they, and everyone else, know who they are. Let's just say that we need to be "United for Peace and Justice" on issues within the country as well as seeking an "A.N.S.W.E.R." to problems concerning the poor and homelss who are being oppressed and harassed by the government and law enforcement of this country every day. Every time class-conscious poor and homeless people attend and speakup at their meetings, they are ignored. The poor and homeless are given no media coverage or financial help whatsoever by any of these groups who are supposed to be concerned about the poor. Poor people will no longer be ignored and used as bargaining chips by the professional left. We must organize our own fundraising events. We need to help political prisoners without exploiting them for our own political advantage like the professional left likes to do. We will make sure that the poor and the oppressed are at the forefront and at the head of leadership. We do not need to be lead by professional leftist egomaniacs.
