BAY AREA: Join us next Saturday, 26 October at 3:00pm for a Spartacist League forum on the road forward in the 2024 election. Vote working class—vote PSL!
We’ll be at First Congregational Church of Oakland, 2501 Harrison St. See you there!
Dixie Dianne finally dead! The Spartacist League and our supporter Richard Bradley ripped down her confederate flag. Liberals might smile to your face but are the main obstacle to black liberation. Finish the Civil War!
Richard Bradley, dressed as a Union soldier, ripping down the Confederate flag that San Francisco mayor Dianne Feinstein insisted on flying, 1984. It was ripped down 3 times and replaced 3 times by Feinstein. She made sure Bradley was prosecuted and made to pay for the damages.
Today at Hunter College: We led a student walkout with

If you’re in Chicago for the
#MarchontheDNC
today, stop by our table! We’re at Ashland and Warren just past the James Connelly statue at the south end of Union Park.
The mass of advanced workers in various countries has illusions in bourgeois democracy. The central question for communists is how to break such illusions. Any approach to elections that does not start from this point is meaningless chatter.

@DemSocialists
, we know why the Palestinian movement is crippled. You think your liberal leadership has something to do with it? Hmm? Read our article yet?
To win, the fight for more jobs and better conditions must be linked to the fight against racial oppression. Either ILA breaks its divisions down or bosses & their liberal politicians will use them to break a strike.
Prepare to strike! Fuse the locals!

The lack of justice for victims of police brutality isn’t for lack of trying. But the methods used are the main obstacle to any progress. There is another road available—the road of class struggle—which can bring justice.

Hunter students protested NYPD/campus admin attacks on Columbia/CUNY/NYU students. Workers/multiracial CUNY students face harshest charges for protesting genocide. An injury to one is injury to all! Escalate the struggle! Fight the reprisals, free Palestine!
This “debate” is a joke. It’s all about who can deport more migrants, who can kill more Palestinians, & neither candidate has anything to offer workers & the oppressed. Draw a class line against Trump/Copmala in November—vote PSL!

@votesocialist24

Bowman is a fork-tongued snake who "stands" for whats politically useful in the moment. Iron Dome, BDS rhetoric: all just serve to maintain imperialist/Zionist rule. Bowman & Tlaib fight 4 the class enemy and only deliver votes to the party of genocide with their song and dance!
We need to have the backs of Democrats who have repeatedly taken a stand against those who take money from Trump donors and those who accept the help of groups who support insurrectionists.
My friend

2 years ago Roe was overturned under Biden. But he still tries to blackmail voters w/ abortion rights. To fight for abortion, one must understand the obstacles. The feminist program chains struggle to the dead-end Dems. For a communist women’s movement!

To go forward, we must understand why the pro-Palestine movement has failed so far. The problem isn’t numbers, visibility or militancy. The obstacle is the movement’s liberal political program and ties to the Democratic Party.

Hold on... The SL didn’t interrupt anything. Sounds like you’re having a little trouble selling Genocide Joe tho. Deal with the politics. Tlaib ties the movement to an imperialist party. The choice: be a bootlicker or be a revolutionary.
Heads up to DSA members - Trots have interrupted multiple events across the country today. Between this and the twitter account they may be taking a new tactic.
Also unreal that these sectarian weirdos are targeting Tlaib in this moment, but I disgress.
While Oct 7 shattered the status quo in the Middle East, the Marxist left’s disoriented & capitulatory politics haven’t budged. Socialists continue zigzagging between Zionism & Arab nationalism.
For a revolutionary way forward, read:
Coming from our experience of sectarianism, collapse & reorientation, we urge RCA comrades to confront realities of their past & present, rooting themselves in lessons of Marxist movement. RCA has invented nothing new—except a catchy ad campaign. Read more

Don’t get taken! Reject the TA, authorize strike action, organize the battle to win!
Workers need an independent way forward or are bound to break right. Left to liberals, workers will be sucked behind Democrats or Republicans—who made the miserable status quo. There’s another option—vote PSL!

AOC, Tlaib, Omar, Bowman—enemies of Palestinian liberation, enemies of workers and the oppressed! They fake solidarity but back Genocide Joe! These bootlickers have no business being at the encampments. Drive them out! Break w/ genocidal Dems! Strike the campuses!
ONE OUT, ALL OUT! In order for the
@UAW
to win we put forward the following program for the union to fight for now: End tiers, Reindustrialization, Black liberation!
The pro-Palestine movement must draw a red line: imperialist politicians like Tlaib must be thrown out! The struggle for Palestinian liberation must be waged against the imperialist Democratic Party to advance, and that includes fake “progressives” like Tlaib & the Squad!
🚨BREAKING!
@RashidaTlaib
has joined the People’s Conference for Palestine and rallies the people to continue the movement against the genocide. She says: “Biden says what’s happening in Gaza isn’t a genocide. Where is your red line, president Biden?!”
Tomorrow: Walkout at UC Davis at 10 AM! Defend the encampments from Zionist provocation and state repression! Strike the campus! Free Palestine! All out on Nakba Day!
Anti-imperialist strategy is needed to unite U.S. workers, migrants, neocolonial masses & advance their shared interests! This requires break with union tops & Democratic politicians, including fake Democratic Party “progressives.”

All the candidates are competing over who can be the best stooge for US imperialism & get more crumbs for Puerto Rico. None of them is the answer. The left’s task: put forward an anti-imperialist option to counter the major parties!

Why hasn’t Iran, or millions marching for Palestine stopped Netanyahu? The reason is political. Israel’s opponents lack a bold, coherent program to defeat Zionism and imperialism. To stop the slaughter, a new course is needed!

in 1981: Reagan fires PATCO strikers. Union tops pushed Dems as answer, leading to deindustrialization, union busting, reinforced racial divisions. Their support to Harris is same failed strategy. To go fwd, we need class independent strategy & leadership—not more Democrats!
To advance and win, Palestinian liberation struggle needs different road from Islamism and secular nationalism. What’s needed isn’t empathy from the left liberals and fake socialists but a revolutionary road forward.

It’s really short sighted to think our demo at the AOC/Bernie/Bowman rally (in AOC’s district) will hurt Bowman.
We aren’t telling people not to vote for him.
We’re demanding they all take a principled stance on Palestine during the genocide and refuse to endorse Biden.
For anyone who wants to fight for workers today, it is necessary to assimilate lessons of post-Soviet period, reject the failed politics that have characterized the left in this period and effect a complete split with liberalism. Read more:
