Capitalism and the Black Working Class
Why do we center the Black working class in our revolutionary struggle? It is because of the acute and historic exploitation of Black people in the US and because of their revolutionary history in struggling against this oppression.
The Dialectics of Organizing and Mobilization
A revolution, among other things, is a series of mass mobilizations, continuing on until the quantity of mobilizations creates a qualitative change in societal power relations. A revolution is the collective action of an entire class. How do we get an entire class to move?
Committees, Councils, and the Construction of Revolution
With our superior numbers, the capitalist regime stands no chance against our united efforts. But ‘unity’ is the operative word, and it does not develop spontaneously. Unity is achieved through the painstaking construction of workers’ organizations — organizations which are tempered, tested, and hardened through struggle as steel within a furnace.
Your Boss is Ripping You Off
The class struggle is nothing more and nothing less than the fight between capitalists and workers over their respective share of the wealth that workers created — the fight between the leech and the host over the share of the host's blood.
Workers Must Take Power
A better society, even a livable one, cannot exist as long as the capitalist regime is in power. But how can we defeat capitalism and what do we build in its place?
If We’re Going to Defeat Capitalism, We Need to Build a Working Class Base – Right Now
What is the purpose of a communist party? For much of the Western left, the answer to that question has become abstract. Day-to-day political work generally consists of raising consciousness through political writings (only read by other leftists), responding to the crises faced by the working class with political demonstrations (only attended by other leftists), or developing survival programs (which can only collect and redistribute the meager resources of the oppressed). The notion of the victory of the working class over the capitalist ruling class is but a hazy object on the distant horizon. Instead, leftists have come to admire struggle for struggle’s sake, divorced from the attainment of any long-term objective.
