This occupation is an example of the Maoist dictum that the masses are fully capable of taking steps for their own well being. They did not ask permission or seek to go through the courts in the beginning – they saw an empty house, and they took it for their well-being. This is the demonstration of what Mao said regarding “the masses being the true heroes, we are often childish and foolish”. While the “Left” engages in positional wrecking warfare against itself, repeats the s...ame old tired arguments, or engages in electoral cretinism, the masses are displaying heroism and courage. This shows from where the revolution comes. In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, mutual aid networks are mobilizing or being formed, securing needed hygiene and food supplies, and delivering them to individuals in quarantine. Revolutionary organizations are conducting political education around the causes of this pandemic, the response in countries such as Cuba and Venezuela compared to the United States, and mobilizing the masses around revolutionary proletarian demands that originate from the concrete conditions of the masses themselves.

"The Pro Drag Time protest started at noon, at that time, the number of protestors numbered close to 200, and led by Parasol Patrol. A group founded to shield children from the hate leveled at, and during, Drag Time Story Hours. Over a dozen members of three Missouri People’s Self-Defense Organizations were in attendance providing security, as well. American Guard members did come to try and disrupt the protest. Upon realizing they were vastly out numbered, and after being ta...unted by the Pro Drag protestors for 10-15 minutes, the American Guard members left in defeat. The overall event went very well, and, all things considered, should be viewed as a success, though, the future of the bill is still in question as it has been introduced, but not signed.
