So many reforms of capitalism and it ended up being like scurvy- all the old wounds open up. Reform wonโ€™t win.

I think weโ€™re pretty relevant. It just depends on who you ask. Ya the middle class and up wonโ€™t find us โ€œrelevantโ€ because theyโ€™re not interested in the working class.

Ya sorry itโ€™s the philosophical concept that our consciousness reflects the objective world and isnโ€™t something independent, and can be changed by circumstance and conditions. Itโ€™s the basis for Marxism. Anyways you just said that and it sounded like it.

Documentary on Scottsboro case distorts 1930s struggle against racism in US South On March 25, 1931, nine black youth, ranging in age from 13 to 21, were arrested in Alabama on charges of raping two young white women. Thus began the notorious Scottsboro case, a racist frame-up that...

Yes we have! We have defended Momatou Taal for example, Marcellus Williams and other death penalty cases, nurse RaDonda Vaught (we were at the rally at the courthouse), Melissa Lucio, all of the people killed by police, UM SJP students attacked by MI AG, whistleblowers, and more.

We are defending democratic rights which includes low hanging fruit of obviously horrible people. Thatโ€™s where the erosion starts. I was on a jury where at least 25 people said they didnโ€™t believe in innocent until proven guilty or the right to remain silent.

Do you hold the same ire for Clarence Darrow and his defense of the two murderers? Do you hate any criminal defense lawyer? Yโ€™alls weird obsession with going for mob justice and attacking us for outlining due process is just weird.

I donโ€™t lie to them, and I certainly donโ€™t get satisfaction when nobodyโ€™s been emancipated. An injury to one is an injury to all.

The โ€œFascistโ€ With a Popular Majority Donald Trumpโ€™s victory at the polls will inevitably reopen the โ€œfascism debate.โ€ But does a populist whose appeal cuts across diverse groups truly fit the fascist profile?

โ€œInterpreting Trump through the lens of fascism was compelling but ultimately misleading.โ€ Compelling politics from the DSA. Did you mean let the bourgeoisie talk? Lol

Getting personal satisfaction out of engaging in working class struggles is pretty strange to be honest. Youโ€™re proud of the strike support but have you checked on conditions since then or are you just walking around with this badge and thatโ€™s it?

We arenโ€™t written by chatgpt thanks, and we are actually students and workers who have been betrayed by the unions repeatedly. Workers have gone on wildcat strikes several times incl statewide teachers, donโ€™t act like itโ€™s some kind of impossibility

Biography as demonology: Aidan Beattyโ€™sย <em>The Party is Always Right: The Untold Story of Gerry Healy and British Trotskyism</em> Aidan Beatty's new book is not a biography, but rather a political diatribe against Gerry Healy and Trotskyism.

The World Socialist Web Site also reviewed Beattyโ€™s book as an anticommunist hack work www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

That was a bit unserious. The type of people who like her are the type to say people who voted for Trump are racist or โ€œexcused racismโ€ but are perfectly content to not just excuse genocide but actively vote for it and insult anyone who didnโ€™t.

The type of people who think sheโ€™s said anything will also like horoscopes, Myers Briggs tests, motivational speakers, and chatgpt therapyโ€ฆ all of which are empty platitudes that can resonate with anyone but mean nothing and say nothing

This kind of mind numbing politicking is intended to mask the fascism. Why are they hand wringing over alcohol? Because the bourgeoisie doesnโ€™t like Hegseth but donโ€™t want to present anything that will indict all of them. Like calling Trump a felon when theyโ€™re all criminals.
