Episode notes
From Occupy To Debt Collective
- Debt Collective emerged from Occupy and creative, inexperienced organizers tried new tactics.
- Lacking basic organizing systems forced them to catch up on fundamentals like tracking conversations.
Party As Ecosystem
- A single monolithic organization can't hold all left currents; parties must be ecosystems of tendencies.
- Movement unity needs multi-tendency coordination, not one-size-fits-all groups.
Cadre Training In Practice
- Left Roots trains organizers into cadre roles focused on shared liberatory strategy.
- Cadre members move across movements to implement unified strategy rather than enforce dogma.
