Remember this drawing from a 5-year-old in ICE detention? Yesterday marked her 300th day in captivity at Dilley. Shut Dilley & free the El Gamal family!!

"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.

@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

@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

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.

@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

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.

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

@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.

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

@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” 🤦‍♂️

@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.

@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

@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…

@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

@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

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

@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

(Weird) Tolkien fans talk about ASIOF as if Lord of the Rings doesn’t have massively depressing shit in it. It’s like when shitting on Martin’s work suddenly Tolkien becomes all fairies and elves and trolls.
