Using the existing capitalist system to make capitalism nicer isn't socialism. And it doesnt pose a threat to the system either. It doesn't even escalate the class struggle— you cant destroy the masters house with the masters tools.

The Platner debacle should be a moment of demarcation for the American “left” where it ought to consider the consequences of electoralist thinking; that empowering a single person to front your movement will either lead to betrayal or a completely ineffective and useless position in office.

“The liberation of the oppressed nations and the freedom of the people demands, as well as calls us, to revolutionize struggle. Hence all these struggles will intensify, until the end of imperialism or the end of us all.” —Central Committee CPI(M)

Hunger strikes have erupted across three of ICE’s concentration camps operated by the private prison corporation the GEO Group, a publicly traded corporation – two at neighboring facilities in Adelanto, CA, and a third at Delaney Hall in Newark, NJ. redphoenix.news/2026...

These pathetic losers are sending out a hit piece because Chris Smalls dared to criticize Jacobin’s liberal darlings, AOC and Bernie. The pearl clutching over people who have lied to our face and betrayed us is so fucking embarrassing. Shame.

Chris Smalls shot to prominence for playing a key role in the shock union win at a New York Amazon warehouse. He was charismatic and energetic at a time labor needed both. But in the years since, his own ego has overwhelmed his political contributions.

If you’re a demsoc and believe in dismantling patriarchy and ‘believe all women’ this is indefensible. How desperate are you to play identity politics to make ‘the left’ look masculine to where you’re making an imperialist swine, and now total psycho, the leader of your movement?

In an interview after The Times reported on his treatment of women he had dated, Graham Platner acknowledged “not exactly acting with the best behavior” after his military service, but he reiterated that any allegations that he had behaved violently toward a girlfriend were “simply not true.”

Happy Pride! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🚩 Nowhere in Marx’s theoretical writing does it specifically address homosexuality. Some with twisted minds have cited an otherwise insignificant quote from Lenin about “sexual theories”inventing the idea he was referring to “queerness.”

The Tom Steyer endorsement by demsocs and 'progressive' liberals is embarrassing. Anyone who truly believes in fighting capitalism must categorically reject billionaires. There is no such thing as an ethical person who has amassed that kind of wealth— by definition they built it on exploitation.

"Class Traitor” is the recurring theme among Tom Steyer’s California Gubernatorial campaign, whose left-leaning coalition sees him as a “strange bedfellow” but also their best option. Read @kylietcheung.bsky.social’s latest: zeteo.com/p/california...

So tired of people pinning their hopes these astroturfed, CIA, think-tank candidates. Put faith in yourself and the revolution, not these imperialist mouthpieces. If you still think in 2026 that politicians will save you, you believe in State Dept propaganda.

⭕️ LEAKED Email: Kat Abughazeleh “firmly an interventionist,” foreign policy adviser says Kat Abughazaleh, a socialist Dem. candidate in IL’ 9th District and one of the only Palestinian-Americans seeking office in 2026, was described by her national security adviser as “firmly an interventionist”...

Ecocide is a core tenant of capitalism, let alone the human toll. Destruction of the environment through war, infinite consumption, waste, avoidable disasters, and cost-saving is inevitable in a system built on greed.

Foreign policy is a litmus test for whether a politician or prospective politician knows anything. It shouldn’t matter if they’re a so-called ‘progressive.’ Is their brain rotted by American chauvinism? If so, they probably don’t give a shit about you or changing the system. Abughazaleh is a fraud.

Calling this “Israel’s War” or regurgitating the idea that Israel is “dragging America into another war” is an extremely American chauvinist statement. This is what the US does– genocidal imperialist war– just like the war in Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Panama and more.

Praise to Ali Khamenei for fighting zionism & amerikkkan imperialism. However, Khamenei’s incompetence to not acquire a nuclear weapon for almost four decades lead directly to this conclusion.

Western journalists are sadistic psychopaths.

The American-Israeli regime is a malignant cancer on this beautiful Earth.

Anyone telling you or implying that America is not enthusiastically backing this war is not serious. This is what America does— genocidal imperialism. Israel didn’t ‘push’ America into war, this was planned months ago, stop trying to obfuscate the responsibility of the American death cult.

Solidarity with the people of Iran! ✊🇮🇷

Free the Iranian people from the chains of imperialism! 🚩⛓️‍💥
