However, we can 28 00:01:32,166 --> 00:01:34,599 their respons. However, we can all name plenty of lazy and 29 00:01:34,599 --> 00:01:35,764 all name plenty of lazy and irresponsible wealthy people 30 00:01:35,764 --> 00:01:39,798 irresponsible wealthy people who are not talking to judge. 31 00:01:39,798 --> 00:01:43,198 who are not talking to judge. Most people end up on houses 32 00:01:43,198 --> 00:01:44,765 Most people end up on houses are in shelter because of a 33 00:01:44,765 --> 00:01:46,298 are in shelter because of a combination of issues including 34 00:01:46,298 --> 00:01:48,532 combination of issues including poverty, low wages and high 35 00:01:48,532 --> 00:01:51,064 poverty, low wages and high rents medical bills, accidents 36 00:01:51,064 --> 00:01:54,331 rents medical bills, accidents and injuries. 37 00:02:00,098 --> 00:02:02,532 Lack of access to mental health 38 00:02:02,532 --> 00:02:05,132 Lack of access to mental health care services Domestic violence 39 00:02:05,132 --> 00:02:06,999 care services Domestic violence gender violence anti violence 40 00:02:06,999 --> 00:02:09,699 gender violence anti violence and incarceration symbolism 41 00:02:09,699 --> 00:02:11,565 and incarceration symbolism racism, xenophobia, anti 42 00:02:11,565 --> 00:02:13,332 racism, xenophobia, anti blackness and settler colonial 43 00:02:13,332 --> 00:02:16,299 blackness and settler colonial expansion. so in essence, it’s 44 00:02:16,299 --> 00:02:18,699 expansion. so in essence, it’s very easy to end up homeless 45 00:02:18,699 --> 00:02:22,699 very easy to end up homeless and in the metro. and look at 46 00:02:22,699 --> 00:02:24,399 and in the metro. and look at the graph on the left says is 47 00:02:24,399 --> 00:02:25,532 the graph on the left says is pretty much determined by 48 00:02:25,532 --> 00:02:29,665 pretty much determined by forces outside of our control. 49 00:02:29,665 --> 00:02:33,332 forces outside of our control. Yes. you’re born rich Stay rich 50 00:02:33,332 --> 00:02:35,599 Yes. you’re born rich Stay rich if you’re born poor you’ll stay 51 00:02:35,599 --> 00:02:40,098 if you’re born poor you’ll stay poor for your entire life. so. 52 00:02:40,098 --> 00:02:45,731 poor for your entire life. so. under capitalism the bootstraps 53 00:02:45,731 --> 00:02:48,432 under capitalism the bootstraps myth is just that a myth you 54 00:02:48,432 --> 00:02:49,732 myth is just that a myth you can’t pull yourself up by your 55 00:02:49,732 --> 00:02:51,199 can’t pull yourself up by your bootstraps If you don’t have 56 00:02:51,199 --> 00:02:55,099 bootstraps If you don’t have any boots to wear. 57 00:03:01,867 --> 00:03:04,301 So the landlords provide a 58 00:03:04,301 --> 00:03:09,100 So the landlords provide a service No. they own land and 59 00:03:09,100 --> 00:03:11,267 service No. they own land and the lord it over you to take 60 00:03:11,267 --> 00:03:14,601 the lord it over you to take away your hard earned money and 61 00:03:14,601 --> 00:03:16,166 away your hard earned money and then use that money you were 62 00:03:16,166 --> 00:03:17,600 then use that money you were forced to give them. however, 63 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,200 forced to give them. however, they see fit even when the law 64 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:21,101 they see fit even when the law compels them to pay for 65 00:03:21,101 --> 00:03:22,800 compels them to pay for necessary repairs. It’s a show 66 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,600 necessary repairs. It’s a show game They’re using your money. 67 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,633 game They’re using your money. the vast majority of landlords 68 00:03:29,633 --> 00:03:31,100 the vast majority of landlords own more than one property 69 00:03:31,100 --> 00:03:33,168 own more than one property there. To working class 70 00:03:33,168 --> 00:03:35,600 there. To working class communities is predatory and 71 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,067 communities is predatory and parasitic when I say parasite, 72 00:03:38,067 --> 00:03:39,701 parasitic when I say parasite, I mean that they take, but they 73 00:03:39,701 --> 00:03:41,100 I mean that they take, but they do not give they do not 74 00:03:41,100 --> 00:03:43,133 do not give they do not contribute the houses will 75 00:03:43,133 --> 00:03:45,001 contribute the houses will still exist regardless of 76 00:03:45,001 --> 00:03:46,367 still exist regardless of whether or not somebody calling 77 00:03:46,367 --> 00:03:48,766 whether or not somebody calling themselves a landlord on the 78 00:03:48,766 --> 00:03:51,367 themselves a landlord on the property. so we start thinking 79 00:03:51,367 --> 00:03:52,666 property. so we start thinking about housing Justice in the 80 00:03:52,666 --> 00:03:55,567 about housing Justice in the House struggle. people that say 81 00:03:55,567 --> 00:03:57,734 House struggle. people that say that landlords provide a 82 00:03:57,734 --> 00:04:00,501 that landlords provide a service. they’re like what 83 00:04:00,501 --> 00:04:03,433 service. they’re like what service do they. The Middle 84 00:04:03,433 --> 00:04:06,467 service do they. The Middle man. 85 00:04:09,134 --> 00:04:12,801 The landlords are technically 86 00:04:12,801 --> 00:04:14,601 The landlords are technically regulated by States in America, 87 00:04:14,601 --> 00:04:16,834 regulated by States in America, which are themselves colonial 88 00:04:16,834 --> 00:04:18,266 which are themselves colonial constructions stolen indigenous 89 00:04:18,266 --> 00:04:20,667 constructions stolen indigenous land the bigger the landlord 90 00:04:20,667 --> 00:04:21,500 land the bigger the landlord the bigger the influence, the 91 00:04:21,500 --> 00:04:22,834 the bigger the influence, the bigger the bribes and the more 92 00:04:22,834 --> 00:04:25,166 bigger the bribes and the more they can get away with. the 93 00:04:25,166 --> 00:04:27,700 they can get away with. the goal and class mandate of every 94 00:04:27,700 --> 00:04:29,267 goal and class mandate of every landlord is to live off the 95 00:04:29,267 --> 00:04:31,733 landlord is to live off the income of the working class 96 00:04:31,733 --> 00:04:34,133 income of the working class they use the surplus from your 97 00:04:34,133 --> 00:04:35,600 they use the surplus from your rent payments to buy 98 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,200 rent payments to buy legislation politicians favors 99 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,600 legislation politicians favors and more property. 100 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,600 So when we look at this graph 101 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:51,601 So when we look at this graph we see the productivity of the 102 00:04:51,601 --> 00:04:54,200 we see the productivity of the working class is rising. That 103 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,034 working class is rising. That means more profits from people 104 00:04:56,034 --> 00:04:58,367 means more profits from people that own. But if you look at 105 00:04:58,367 --> 00:05:02,567 that own. But if you look at the average wages they are flat 106 00:05:02,567 --> 00:05:05,334 the average wages they are flat so. workers are producing more, 107 00:05:05,334 --> 00:05:08,600 so. workers are producing more, but they’re not receiving more. 108 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,666 but they’re not receiving more. it is in the interest of the 109 00:05:10,666 --> 00:05:13,867 it is in the interest of the ruling class The Boise people 110 00:05:13,867 --> 00:05:16,166 ruling class The Boise people that. That own the means of 111 00:05:16,166 --> 00:05:18,634 that. That own the means of production to pay you as less 112 00:05:18,634 --> 00:05:20,067 production to pay you as less as humanly possible because 113 00:05:20,067 --> 00:05:23,800 as humanly possible because that’s more money for them. 114 00:05:27,034 --> 00:05:29,767 So when we look at this graph 115 00:05:29,767 --> 00:05:34,133 So when we look at this graph the average income. Has risen 116 00:05:34,133 --> 00:05:38,334 the average income. Has risen to 7577 percent rather, but All 117 00:05:38,334 --> 00:05:40,567 to 7577 percent rather, but All that money almost all of that 118 00:05:40,567 --> 00:05:43,166 that money almost all of that money went to the top one 119 00:05:43,166 --> 00:05:48,333 money went to the top one percent the Boise. 120 00:05:55,734 --> 00:05:58,401 We look at this it’s basically 121 00:05:58,401 --> 00:06:03,867 We look at this it’s basically a breakdown of of income. by by 122 00:06:03,867 --> 00:06:10,100 a breakdown of of income. by by education. so you see that. the 123 00:06:10,100 --> 00:06:12,767 education. so you see that. the average colonizer working class 124 00:06:12,767 --> 00:06:15,567 average colonizer working class person or a petty Boise when 125 00:06:15,567 --> 00:06:17,433 person or a petty Boise when you get to advance degree 126 00:06:17,433 --> 00:06:20,566 you get to advance degree level. 127 00:06:21,167 --> 00:06:22,867 Make far more than black and 128 00:06:22,867 --> 00:06:25,400 Make far more than black and Latino people who who have the 129 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:29,300 Latino people who who have the same amount of education. so 130 00:06:29,300 --> 00:06:30,367 same amount of education. so for example, look at the high 131 00:06:30,367 --> 00:06:33,166 for example, look at the high school diploma GED a black 132 00:06:33,166 --> 00:06:34,701 school diploma GED a black person with just a high school 133 00:06:34,701 --> 00:06:37,334 person with just a high school diploma makes 134 00:06:37,334 --> 00:06:39,667 diploma makes a hundred dollars. while the 135 00:06:39,667 --> 00:06:42,133 a hundred dollars. while the White person with a high school 136 00:06:42,133 --> 00:06:46,200 White person with a high school diploma makes $64200. I ain’t 137 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:49,566 diploma makes $64200. I ain’t that a shame. 138 00:06:53,700 --> 00:06:57,034 So when we look at poverty, we 139 00:06:57,034 --> 00:07:02,533 So when we look at poverty, we see that it is. by large A. 140 00:07:02,533 --> 00:07:06,434 see that it is. by large A. non-white male. young person 141 00:07:06,434 --> 00:07:09,600 non-white male. young person thing. 142 00:07:20,834 --> 00:07:24,700 Scroll down please 143 00:07:28,267 --> 00:07:33,101 More data so if you are 144 00:07:33,101 --> 00:07:35,834 More data so if you are disabled. mentally or 145 00:07:35,834 --> 00:07:37,401 disabled. mentally or physically, obviously, you have 146 00:07:37,401 --> 00:07:39,834 physically, obviously, you have a higher chance of being 147 00:07:39,834 --> 00:07:43,067 a higher chance of being impoverished. 148 00:08:03,700 --> 00:08:05,100 Economy and you’ll find 149 00:08:05,100 --> 00:08:07,067 Economy and you’ll find fractures beneath the surface. 150 00:08:07,067 --> 00:08:08,867 fractures beneath the surface. The foils are split unevenly 151 00:08:08,867 --> 00:08:11,234 The foils are split unevenly between men and women old and 152 00:08:11,234 --> 00:08:12,668 between men and women old and young high school dropouts and 153 00:08:12,668 --> 00:08:14,100 young high school dropouts and MBA, but one of the most 154 00:08:14,100 --> 00:08:15,566 MBA, but one of the most divisive disparities is only 155 00:08:15,566 --> 00:08:18,166 divisive disparities is only skin deep. This is the economy 156 00:08:18,166 --> 00:08:20,534 skin deep. This is the economy in black and White. everything 157 00:08:20,534 --> 00:08:23,067 in black and White. everything you own houses stocks cars. 158 00:08:23,067 --> 00:08:25,134 you own houses stocks cars. That’s your wealth in 2011 the 159 00:08:25,134 --> 00:08:27,200 That’s your wealth in 2011 the wealth of the median White 160 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:28,534 wealth of the median White household was over 161 00:08:28,534 --> 00:08:30,133 household was over a hundred and $10000 African 162 00:08:30,133 --> 00:08:32,301 a hundred and $10000 African Americans on average. 17 times 163 00:08:32,301 --> 00:08:34,800 Americans on average. 17 times less just over 6000. And 164 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,067 less just over 6000. And housing has a lot to do with it 165 00:08:37,067 --> 00:08:38,734 housing has a lot to do with it for the average American their 166 00:08:38,734 --> 00:08:40,167 for the average American their home is the most valuable part 167 00:08:40,167 --> 00:08:42,534 home is the most valuable part of their portfolio. It’s an 168 00:08:42,534 --> 00:08:43,866 of their portfolio. It’s an investment that can appreciate 169 00:08:43,866 --> 00:08:45,467 investment that can appreciate the time and it can be passed 170 00:08:45,467 --> 00:08:47,734 the time and it can be passed from one generation to the next 171 00:08:47,734 --> 00:08:49,234 from one generation to the next but the rate of home ownership 172 00:08:49,234 --> 00:08:50,967 but the rate of home ownership among whites is 28 percent 173 00:08:50,967 --> 00:08:52,533 among whites is 28 percent higher than that of blacks in 174 00:08:52,533 --> 00:08:54,667 higher than that of blacks in the lingering effects of 175 00:08:54,667 --> 00:08:56,433 the lingering effects of segregation could be to blame 176 00:08:56,433 --> 00:08:58,200 segregation could be to blame discriminatory practices by the 177 00:08:58,200 --> 00:08:59,600 discriminatory practices by the Federal Housing Authority 178 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:00,401 Federal Housing Authority prevented African Americans 179 00:09:00,401 --> 00:09:02,734 prevented African Americans from buying houses in many 180 00:09:02,734 --> 00:09:03,501 from buying houses in many suburban neighborhoods, The 181 00:09:03,501 --> 00:09:06,401 suburban neighborhoods, The Fair Housing Act of.

I mean it needs 778 00:32:07,066 --> 00:32:10,700 but I mean it. I mean it needs to be emphasized the parasitic 779 00:32:10,700 --> 00:32:12,100 to be emphasized the parasitic relationship of landlords in 780 00:32:12,100 --> 00:32:13,566 relationship of landlords in the state to renters and 781 00:32:13,566 --> 00:32:15,168 the state to renters and homeowners in the case of the 782 00:32:15,168 --> 00:32:17,633 homeowners in the case of the US and specifically is a direct 783 00:32:17,633 --> 00:32:19,167 US and specifically is a direct result of settlement, capital 784 00:32:19,167 --> 00:32:21,667 result of settlement, capital and economy depending on the 785 00:32:21,667 --> 00:32:25,234 and economy depending on the imperialist. man and you know 786 00:32:25,234 --> 00:32:26,666 imperialist. man and you know just to be clear a lot of these 787 00:32:26,666 --> 00:32:29,534 just to be clear a lot of these homeowners are people. An older 788 00:32:29,534 --> 00:32:31,133 homeowners are people. An older generation they are White, 789 00:32:31,133 --> 00:32:36,267 generation they are White, they’re often a very rich and 790 00:32:36,267 --> 00:32:37,634 they’re often a very rich and it really like prohibits from 791 00:32:37,634 --> 00:32:40,201 it really like prohibits from us having better access to 792 00:32:40,201 --> 00:32:42,200 us having better access to housing and really is the major 793 00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:44,133 housing and really is the major cause of homelessness that is 794 00:32:44,133 --> 00:32:47,234 cause of homelessness that is happening in the US go ahead 795 00:32:47,234 --> 00:32:49,767 happening in the US go ahead and go to the next slide. I 796 00:32:49,767 --> 00:32:51,467 and go to the next slide. I mean I think another thing to 797 00:32:51,467 --> 00:32:52,833 mean I think another thing to consider is the it’s just a 798 00:32:52,833 --> 00:32:57,568 consider is the it’s just a high unemployment data. is too 799 00:32:57,568 --> 00:32:59,334 high unemployment data. is too often fiction created by asking 800 00:32:59,334 --> 00:33:00,734 often fiction created by asking people about work if they’re 801 00:33:00,734 --> 00:33:02,067 people about work if they’re currently looking if they were 802 00:33:02,067 --> 00:33:04,534 currently looking if they were playing now. A longer counted 803 00:33:04,534 --> 00:33:08,300 playing now. A longer counted as unemployed and I think I 804 00:33:08,300 --> 00:33:09,967 as unemployed and I think I think like it’s really 805 00:33:09,967 --> 00:33:11,166 think like it’s really important to emphasize that 806 00:33:11,166 --> 00:33:12,567 important to emphasize that because if we have no data, we 807 00:33:12,567 --> 00:33:16,200 because if we have no data, we have no problem and so this is 808 00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:19,200 have no problem and so this is this is a way to you you really 809 00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:20,734 this is a way to you you really manipulate you know the 810 00:33:20,734 --> 00:33:24,100 manipulate you know the situation it also takes no 811 00:33:24,100 --> 00:33:25,900 situation it also takes no account of underemployment 812 00:33:25,900 --> 00:33:27,400 account of underemployment cheating a part-time minimum 813 00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:29,734 cheating a part-time minimum wage job and a full living full 814 00:33:29,734 --> 00:33:31,334 wage job and a full living full time living wage job as equal 815 00:33:31,334 --> 00:33:33,000 time living wage job as equal measurements of employment and 816 00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:35,600 measurements of employment and what you know what we mean. 817 00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:37,234 what you know what we mean.

I’m like reading this right I think 1076 00:43:38,701 --> 00:43:42,133 like reading this right I think another thing to think about is 1077 00:43:42,133 --> 00:43:45,066 another thing to think about is is how often ignore you know, 1078 00:43:45,066 --> 00:43:48,201 is how often ignore you know, especially people of color are 1079 00:43:48,201 --> 00:43:50,367 especially people of color are and health care services. I 1080 00:43:50,367 --> 00:43:52,166 and health care services. I think one detrimental you know 1081 00:43:52,166 --> 00:43:54,434 think one detrimental you know one judgmental statistics is 1082 00:43:54,434 --> 00:43:55,934 one judgmental statistics is that you know, black women or 1083 00:43:55,934 --> 00:43:58,567 that you know, black women or black folks with. Are pregnant 1084 00:43:58,567 --> 00:44:01,100 black folks with. Are pregnant or three times more likely to 1085 00:44:01,100 --> 00:44:05,666 or three times more likely to be killed during a very well 1086 00:44:05,666 --> 00:44:07,166 be killed during a very well giving birth and it just comes 1087 00:44:07,166 --> 00:44:09,267 giving birth and it just comes to show that it’s not just you 1088 00:44:09,267 --> 00:44:11,133 to show that it’s not just you know. it’s not just economics 1089 00:44:11,133 --> 00:44:13,767 know. it’s not just economics right. It’s also it’s also a 1090 00:44:13,767 --> 00:44:16,334 right. It’s also it’s also a lot of White supremacy. That’s 1091 00:44:16,334 --> 00:44:17,601 lot of White supremacy. That’s really dominant in health care 1092 00:44:17,601 --> 00:44:18,834 really dominant in health care service to begin with. We also 1093 00:44:18,834 --> 00:44:21,101 service to begin with. We also see that with the community as 1094 00:44:21,101 --> 00:44:24,200 see that with the community as well. a lot of focus gets gets 1095 00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:25,534 well. a lot of focus gets gets denied health care all the time 1096 00:44:25,534 --> 00:44:28,266 denied health care all the time they get denied services that 1097 00:44:28,266 --> 00:44:30,701 they get denied services that they need. They get accused of 1098 00:44:30,701 --> 00:44:35,701 they need. They get accused of you know. they get accused of 1099 00:44:35,701 --> 00:44:37,234 you know. they get accused of writing something cosmetic, 1100 00:44:37,234 --> 00:44:39,666 writing something cosmetic, which you know is ridiculous to 1101 00:44:39,666 --> 00:44:42,067 which you know is ridiculous to begin with because I’m a lot of 1102 00:44:42,067 --> 00:44:42,967 begin with because I’m a lot of these surgeries are really 1103 00:44:42,967 --> 00:44:44,600 these surgeries are really important for mental health, 1104 00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:46,133 important for mental health, but these are the kinds of 1105 00:44:46,133 --> 00:44:48,734 but these are the kinds of things that we see is that they 1106 00:44:48,734 --> 00:44:50,100 things that we see is that they often get ignored. They often 1107 00:44:50,100 --> 00:44:53,234 often get ignored. They often are left in the room bleeding 1108 00:44:53,234 --> 00:44:54,601 are left in the room bleeding out until it’s too late and 1109 00:44:54,601 --> 00:44:57,033 out until it’s too late and this is this is such a common 1110 00:44:57,033 --> 00:44:58,334 this is this is such a common thing to happen. so it’s not 1111 00:44:58,334 --> 00:45:00,533 thing to happen. so it’s not just you know access to health 1112 00:45:00,533 --> 00:45:02,734 just you know access to health care. It’s also you know being 1113 00:45:02,734 --> 00:45:04,933 care. It’s also you know being treated like a human being, and 1114 00:45:04,933 --> 00:45:06,734 treated like a human being, and I think you know it really 1115 00:45:06,734 --> 00:45:08,800 I think you know it really connects to it. Really it 1116 00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:10,834 connects to it. Really it really speaks to why capitalism 1117 00:45:10,834 --> 00:45:12,801 really speaks to why capitalism can’t can’t survive in the 1118 00:45:12,801 --> 00:45:15,934 can’t can’t survive in the health care service system to 1119 00:45:15,934 --> 00:45:18,133 health care service system to begin with. Oh look there’s 1120 00:45:18,133 --> 00:45:22,267 begin with. Oh look there’s that so for and colonize people 1121 00:45:22,267 --> 00:45:23,834 that so for and colonize people in the empire pay more for 1122 00:45:23,834 --> 00:45:25,101 in the empire pay more for health care than anywhere else 1123 00:45:25,101 --> 00:45:26,700 health care than anywhere else in the world for income that 1124 00:45:26,700 --> 00:45:29,166 in the world for income that power and comparison, It’s not 1125 00:45:29,166 --> 00:45:30,734 power and comparison, It’s not a matter of spending. It’s a 1126 00:45:30,734 --> 00:45:32,701 a matter of spending. It’s a matter of capitalism that is 1127 00:45:32,701 --> 00:45:34,734 matter of capitalism that is ownership and control as well 1128 00:45:34,734 --> 00:45:35,767 ownership and control as well as a matter of reactive 1129 00:45:35,767 --> 00:45:38,267 as a matter of reactive medicine.

Okay. so this is 1335 00:53:12,301 --> 00:53:14,600 and conflict. Okay. so this is all the stuff that’s like 1336 00:53:14,600 --> 00:53:16,100 all the stuff that’s like stereotypical revolutionary or 1337 00:53:16,100 --> 00:53:18,634 stereotypical revolutionary or a related to revolts so you 1338 00:53:18,634 --> 00:53:20,133 a related to revolts so you know, destruction and 1339 00:53:20,133 --> 00:53:23,100 know, destruction and occupation, which is I guess a 1340 00:53:23,100 --> 00:53:26,267 occupation, which is I guess a non destructive form property 1341 00:53:26,267 --> 00:53:29,133 non destructive form property and material destruction so 1342 00:53:29,133 --> 00:53:31,067 and material destruction so this is a threats or acts to do 1343 00:53:31,067 --> 00:53:34,668 this is a threats or acts to do that reclamation and 1344 00:53:34,668 --> 00:53:35,934 that reclamation and expropriation. I think that 1345 00:53:35,934 --> 00:53:38,166 expropriation. I think that we’re all familiar with that in 1346 00:53:38,166 --> 00:53:41,067 we’re all familiar with that in in terms of of jazz and and and 1347 00:53:41,067 --> 00:53:44,567 in terms of of jazz and and and other recent phenomenon right 1348 00:53:44,567 --> 00:53:46,166 other recent phenomenon right violence against humans which 1349 00:53:46,166 --> 00:53:47,866 violence against humans which would be you know violence 1350 00:53:47,866 --> 00:53:50,200 would be you know violence against representatives of the 1351 00:53:50,200 --> 00:53:53,634 against representatives of the power structure right and then 1352 00:53:53,634 --> 00:53:56,067 power structure right and then and then. Further subdivided 1353 00:53:56,067 --> 00:53:58,734 and then. Further subdivided into self defense and offense 1354 00:53:58,734 --> 00:54:02,366 into self defense and offense right. and so each of these we 1355 00:54:02,366 --> 00:54:04,134 right. and so each of these we also have to be conscious of 1356 00:54:04,134 --> 00:54:06,801 also have to be conscious of the risk involved in each of 1357 00:54:06,801 --> 00:54:10,834 the risk involved in each of these paths right so the direct 1358 00:54:10,834 --> 00:54:13,134 these paths right so the direct action approach as you move 1359 00:54:13,134 --> 00:54:15,734 action approach as you move further along it gets 1360 00:54:15,734 --> 00:54:16,333 further along it gets increasingly risky for yourself 1361 00:54:16,333 --> 00:54:18,701 increasingly risky for yourself or your Organization and for 1362 00:54:18,701 --> 00:54:21,133 or your Organization and for the masses that are under your 1363 00:54:21,133 --> 00:54:25,734 the masses that are under your leadership and with indirect. 1364 00:54:25,734 --> 00:54:27,567 leadership and with indirect.

Alright so it’s best if used in 1579 01:03:56,701 --> 01:03:58,100 Alright so it’s best if used in conjunction with other 1580 01:03:58,100 --> 01:03:59,967 conjunction with other measures. however, mutual aid 1581 01:03:59,967 --> 01:04:01,267 measures. however, mutual aid should be the spirit in which 1582 01:04:01,267 --> 01:04:03,701 should be the spirit in which we engage in all our actions. 1583 01:04:03,701 --> 01:04:08,567 we engage in all our actions. Okay so this. Include things 1584 01:04:08,567 --> 01:04:09,867 Okay so this. Include things like redistribution of wealth, 1585 01:04:09,867 --> 01:04:11,501 like redistribution of wealth, but it goes far beyond that 1586 01:04:11,501 --> 01:04:13,734 but it goes far beyond that right. so it’s not just about 1587 01:04:13,734 --> 01:04:15,166 right. so it’s not just about you know, helping people out 1588 01:04:15,166 --> 01:04:17,500 you know, helping people out through cash app and Venmo and 1589 01:04:17,500 --> 01:04:19,000 through cash app and Venmo and PayPal and things like that 1590 01:04:19,000 --> 01:04:20,633 PayPal and things like that when they need a material 1591 01:04:20,633 --> 01:04:23,000 when they need a material assistance right but it goes 1592 01:04:23,000 --> 01:04:24,533 assistance right but it goes beyond that to an understanding 1593 01:04:24,533 --> 01:04:25,834 beyond that to an understanding of self direction as a human 1594 01:04:25,834 --> 01:04:28,133 of self direction as a human right and a rejection of Boris 1595 01:04:28,133 --> 01:04:29,601 right and a rejection of Boris charity models and social 1596 01:04:29,601 --> 01:04:32,301 charity models and social democracy.

Alright, the 1606 01:04:50,667 --> 01:04:52,334 least in theory. Alright, the best mutual aid networks 1607 01:04:52,334 --> 01:04:53,267 best mutual aid networks removed themselves from the 1608 01:04:53,267 --> 01:04:54,934 removed themselves from the capital systems of production 1609 01:04:54,934 --> 01:04:57,234 capital systems of production as much as possible relying on 1610 01:04:57,234 --> 01:04:59,267 as much as possible relying on community resources and 1611 01:04:59,267 --> 01:05:01,301 community resources and organized actions to serve the 1612 01:05:01,301 --> 01:05:03,100 organized actions to serve the most need for the least 1613 01:05:03,100 --> 01:05:05,267 most need for the least resources. so a few examples of 1614 01:05:05,267 --> 01:05:08,067 resources. so a few examples of mutual aid practice.
