As socialists, our unwavering goals are to provide the masses with the resources, motivation, knowledge, education, and organizational capacity necessary to liberate humanity from the exploitative, oppressive, malignant forces of global capitalism, neocolonialism, settler colonialism, imperialism, and fascism, to develop socialism, to smash the reactionary systems that exist to harm the most marginalized among us, and to create a better, more sustainable, more just, more egalitarian future. To claim that socialists do not maintain these end goals is to smear socialism/communism in a way that serves to preserve the current social order while keeping the masses in a perpetual state of disorganization, infighting, and hopelessness, largely unable to see through the sophisticated and pervasive reactionary propaganda networks that seek to discredit socialism, its gains, its role in anti-colonial struggle, and, most importantly, to discourage the application of any sort of contemporary adaptation of successful tactics used in popular revolutions in the imperial periphery. These smears and propaganda networks divide the working class and allow the capitalist class to perpetuate the global system of exploitation that has plundered the world and oppressed billions of people.

"At a time when the autocracy is trying to corrupt the class consciousness of the proletariat with 'trade unionism,' nationalism, clericalism and the like, and when, on the other hand, the liberal intelligentsia is persistently striving to kill the political independence of the proletariat and to impose its tutelage upon it—at such a time we must be extremely vigilant and never forget that our Party is a fortress, the gates of which are opened only to those who have been tested." - Stalin

Capitalism does not create the conditions required for the masses, the workers of the world, to experience freedom. Socialism leads the masses on the long march towards real freedom, the freedom to have healthcare, the freedom to be guaranteed a job, the freedom to have guaranteed shelter, the freedom to attend college for free, the freedom to not participate in an imperialist system, the freedom to have dignity in the workplace, the freedom to use the state to adequately address climate change. “Freedom in capitalist society always remains about the same as it was in ancient Greek republics: freedom for the slave-owners.” - Lenin

"I was only aworking class boy from a ghetto, but it is repression that creates the revolutionary spirit of freedom" - Bobby Sands Corner

"We by no means rule over nature like a conqueror over a foreign people—we belong to nature, and exist in its midst, and all our mastery of it consists in the fact that we have the advantage over all other creatures of being able to correctly learn and apply its laws." - Friedrich Engels

Until everyone is housed, no one should own multiple homes.

"If you remain silent when you see injustice, you stand on the side of the oppressor." - Che Guevara

To be against apartheid is not antisemitic.

To ask if Israel has the “right to exist” is like asking if Nazi Germany or Rhodesia or apartheid South Africa had the “right to exist.” Nation-states do not have the “right to exist,” and especially do not have the right to exist as a genocidal apartheid state; people have the right to exist, states do not.

"There is no such thing as a single-issue struggle, because we do not live single-issue lives." - Audre Lorde

“Accumulation of wealth at one pole is at the same time accumulation of misery, slavery, and brutality at the opposite pole.” - Karl Marx
