It's only when we truly begin to confront these assumptions about ourselves, what we know about ourselves and others that we can truly build a stable resistance to capitalist oppression.
This isn't say that we should abandon the work that each of us is currently doing, only that we should examine ourselves, our motives, and our tactics critically as we proceed with them, we should learn to be more inclusive in our attitudes, and approach things from a place of humility rather than superiority.
We should hear the voices of those we claim to want to help, their ideas, and methods, if we're in solidarity with a group allow them to lead what ever action and allow them to do so as their community has decided is appropriate, remember that it's their community, not yours, that is the role of of one in solidarity, support, facilitating the wants, needs, and desires of the group supported as they make their stand. The only way this can happen is if you abandon the idea that you know better then those your are supporting, who as a point of fact may have been participating in that activity far longer than you.
