"Americans don't want this war." "Democrats are controlled opposition for fascism." "We need class consciousness." "Take over the means of production, and use our labor to fight back."
Here's what protesters across the US had to say at the massive No Kings rallies on March 28.

"Responsibility for defending democracy falls on you, the people": @EricLeeAtty, attorney for Palestinian activist @NerdeenKiswani , who was targeted by right-wing Zionist in attempted assassination plot, speaks at a press conference Monday in New York.

@centristmarxist Even crazier that nobody seemed to care that they then subverted the entire reason for the rebrand by hopping aboard Your Party only to end up ditching it when it ended up being DOA
English
It’s crazy to me that nobody cares that the IMT/RCA did a major international rebrand and reorientation solely because Keir Starmer purged them from the British Labour Party
Alex Boykowich@ABCommunist
Bad timing for the Canadian Trotskyists, who, on the orders of their British bosses, abandoned their strategy of (parasitical) entryism in the NDP not long before Avi Lewis became NDP leader, when it would have had its best prospects.

@mtnsyndicalist It really is baffling how people bemoan him “missing his chance” to build a movement independent of the Democrats when being a loyal “outside” supporter of the DNC has been the entire purpose of his political career. That’s his feature not his flaw
English
I was a Bernie believer in 2016, it’s how I got into leftist politics initially. Seeing everyone reminiscing about how badly he fucked us all over by being a doormat for the Democratic Party makes me sick

@ProudSocialist @cygnus_321 There is no doubt that many people in the protests are genuinely disturbed by the rise of fascism in the U.S.
However, as long as that opposition is tied to the rotten and corrupt Democratic Party, no progress can be made.

"Study the history of the fight against fascism in Germany, in Spain. What this country needs is a mass movement based in the working class." Immigration attorney and Socialist Equality Party member Eric Lee addresses a "No Kings" rally in Romulus, Michigan.

@duncanjdavis Sadly predictable. Those who are still in it or once gave political support to it have been marked forever as the psuedo-leftists they are
English
Your Party is turning into a kind of anti-party, with core functions that include: not standing in elections; not conducting political education; not forming a programme. Sad.

@EcoTechBro DSA’s co-founder Harrington wanted the US to bomb Egypt during the Six Days War
“The left of the permissible” has always been their shtick
English
IDK how many DSA endorsed electeds have to defend sending "defensive weapons" to Israel for you to realize "democratic" "socialism" is reactionary by nature?
A *JOIN DSA*@ProleClassic
how many leftcoms need to be reactionary until folks just realize that leftcoms are reactionary by nature?

@mtnsyndicalist @enoughformethx “Sectarian” also falls under this category
English
@enoughformethx Ultra leftist is almost exclusively abused by succdems who want you to vote for a neoliberal
English
If you want to call me scary and insulting names by way of a political label, please call me a communist not an “ultra-leftist.” Thank you.

@Ansel_Communist I once held some hope that after the RCI rebrand when they inevitably went back to their opportunist ways it would shake some of their membership awake but they went through that whole Your Party flip flopping and barely anyone batted an eye
English
@TrotBot4 RCI seems to be just garnering money to handout more merchandise and pay their london staff, extremely disappointing to see. No wonder Alan Woods isn't even considered a marxist author by most publications.
English
There is a noticeable smug aloofness among the pseudo-left about the No Kings protests. Yes it lacks any coherent aims and is organized by liberals, which is why it is so important for socialists to intervene with concrete goals. Millions of Americans will be on the streets today
English
@Ansel_Communist SEP regularly hands out free printed copies of WSWS articles and I’ve seen other tendencies make fun of that because “if people are serious they would pay for your material” 🤦♂️
English
@TrotBot4 Trotskyists need to adopt the free zines method, I see this as a super viable option to do outreach, but it's so lacking. The Transitional Program, etc etc, put into a zine, thrown out like candy at these protests.
English
@mtnsyndicalist …DNC funnel or else the ground is being entirely ceded to them. Not like I’m saying join or vote for the Dems like DSA and company, but that a mass protest should be the subject to serious political intervention
English
@mtnsyndicalist On a personal level I agree, not like any barricades are going to be erected any time soon. But from the perspective of a political party I think that one cannot simply divorce themselves from what is an expression of mass outrage. An alternative has to be presented to the…
English
@mtnsyndicalist Such anger has to be given class conscious form and that’s not going to be achieved by sitting in an ivory tower. Of course there will be hostile elements there but there will also be a lot of workers looking for a way to fight against fascism and war
English
@mtnsyndicalist Nobody besides liberals actually thinks that the occasional protest is going to change things. Just look at the Gaza protests trying to appeal to the ruling class to stop Israel’s genocide all falling flat. It does however reflect growing social anger
English
Also funny how people like to accuse SEP of being chronically online because their main media is digital instead of printed and then turn around and mock them being active in a mass protest
English
@kel93934 @Goldxn_Violin A Storm of Swords by itself has 90% the word count of the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy + most of Tolkien’s Middle Earth stories were unfinished fragments his son had to piece together after his death
English
@Goldxn_Violin The main thing is that Tolkien finished THE LORD OF THE RINGS.
George R. R. Martin will never finish A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE.

@ridna_ua @Panchenko_X Why would the Russians blow up a dam which led to their trenches in Kherson getting flooded? Same dam received Ukrainian HIMARS strikes earlier in the war btw

@Panchenko_X As opposed to the ecological disaster created by russia? scientificamerican.com/article/ukrain…

Zelensky is killing everything alive!
Zelensky has caused an ecological catastrophe in Moldova! Tens of tons of rocket fuel were dumped into the Dniester River. This happened during the testing of a new rocket!
Zelensky not only kills his own citizens - he has now started poisoning millions of Moldovans!
