Having a sit in - Protest

[toastedmonkey]

What is it that you do?
Does everyone there have to understand the cause?
How long should they last?
What should you do during them?

Sit, chant, have a few speakers talking to the sitters, cause inconvenience to the Politicians or Army officers. It's a pretty simple idea.

any tips?

read some theory, explain to fellow protestors, aim to organise a regular group with weekly meetings. At these meetings you discuss current events alongside theory and explain what is happening. Also you plan for action, what to do short term, long term etc. Hope it goes well! Make a report and post it up man. WE can ALL learn from experience!

good luck, if anything happens, always keep a cool head and remember as a marxist people are looking at you, and you become the representative of marxism, so keep smilin!

dont fucking chant whatever u do, pointless, isolates you from onlookers. I know its good to do, and there is a place for it, but not now.

But read up on situation then you can explain

i couldn't say better, stick with your opinions and don't bend for the autorithies, our bodies can be hurt but are opinions can't

anyone seen the strawberry statement? a lot of pacifist-communist people organise a sit in on a university, it lasts for about a week or so (long time ago since i saw it), then the a bunch of army dudes and cops bash in and start hitting the pacifists, but this onlyencourages the revolutionary spirit

There were no sit-ins at London on Thursday. Sorry kid.

We sat out my town's high street for about an hour on walkout day. That was fun. But a couple of weeks earlier, 24 people sat out the barracks until arrest.
