At its very core, the United States is a white supremacist society. Its history rests on slavery & Indigenous genocide; its culture celebrates imperialist warfare and bloodshed; and its policies and legislations codify an insidious hyper-racism, a political chauvinism, & an ongoing social regression

Party work is the core work we should undertake in service of the revolution. Be wary of those whoβ€”instead of organizing with the partiesβ€”use their voices to tear down the parties, to steer work away from the parties, and to promote celebritism over real organizational work.
