@alyssa i agree with your interpretation, but i think it varies depending on how you read “right” (as in “correct”, or as in “an inalienable privilege”)

“revolutionaries, lock down the campus because it is correct to rebel” is the most straightforward (and probably true) reading

but “they are trying to lock down the campuses because we are asserting our innate right to rebellion” is another reading, which is how this commentor takes it, and i’ve also been confused by in the past

@alyssa i understand the confusion; it’s always been unclear to me whether Geo is saying revolutionaries should lock down (occupy) the campus, or whether he is referencing conservative attempts to lock down (restrict/control) campuses to pre·empt revolutionaries—both of which we have seen historically and recently, usually at the same time

Cornerstone at least has a few of the Marxist annotations hanging around btw

could be, but i think we all have a different understanding of “lock down the campus” now

speaking of, The Long March EP is really good but an even higher bar of being committed to Maoism to get what the heck they’re talking about

@alyssa i swear bayani used to have better ones than this

altho agreed, i think long march’s were always the best

@alyssa that is my understanding, but i couldn’t find a source for it
