Mass mobilizations should be seen only as a first step. Organization should be the goal. As communists, we must be clear: defeating Trump and his administration means defeating the whole capitalist, imperialist system.

Move beyond mobilization, into organization — turn mass protest into material power

May Day isn’t a slogan; it’s a schedule. Coordinate across sectors, win supermajorities, and be ready to stop work together. When labor moves as one, the machine stalls—and we win real gains. Link in bio. 3/3. #CapitalismFails #TrySocialism #NoKings

Processions without plans change nothing. Build strike committees, train captains, align timelines, and make the bosses pay attention where it hurts—profit. From dispersion to discipline, from noise to power. Link in bio. 2/3. #CapitalismFails #TrySocialism #NoKings

Millions in the streets show our moral power. But moral power without organization leaves the ruling class unmoved. From rallies to rank-and-file structures—let’s turn outrage into leverage that can’t be ignored. Link in bio. 1/3. #CapitalismFails #TrySocialism #NoKings

Our task is not to stand aloof from the arena in which millions still seek remedies, but to transform that arena into a school of class struggle. #CapitalismFails #TrySocialism #SystemChange

Turn the primary into a movement of class struggle

Why communists should back Mamdani and Fateh — then organize beyond the ballot

To stand aside, wringing our hands and awaiting a “perfect” organization, is the very stuff of sectarian impotence. Communists must enter that arena and fight to lay the foundations of a genuinely revolutionary line. Essay in the bio. (Photo credit: Ron Adar.) #classstruggle #socialism #dsa

“‘Star Trek’ was an attempt to say that humanity will reach maturity and wisdom on the day that it begins not just to tolerate, but take a special delight in differences in ideas and differences in life forms.”

The final frontier began 59 years ago today. To Roddenberry, L. Coon, Justman, Fontana, Jefferies, & comrades—my thanks. You armed my imagination & lit my cinema and lens. In your strange new worlds, we agitate for a socialist future: humanity rejoicing in itself—IDIC. #StarTrek #StarTrekDay #LLAP

MAS–IPSP’s 2025 Bolivian general election returns are an alarm, not a lullaby. What lessons must the Bolivian left draw? And, as a São Paulo Forum associate, what must DSA learn from our Bolivian comrades’ experience? #BoliviaElecciones2025 #Bolivia #MAS

Not envy, but militant joy as socialism gains strength in imperialism’s citadel. Comrades in Chicago: speak plainly. Raise the banner—uncompromising struggle against Zionism, firm proletarian internationalism, and living solidarity with the oppressed of the Global South. #DSACon25 #DSA #TrySocialism
