On the anniversary of his execution, we remember John Brown.

He knew abolition wasn’t charity, it was class war. He saw that the enslaved were the revolutionary force of his era, and he acted.

Feared by his enemies. Loved by the oppressed. Honored by those who seek justice.

It’s undeniable, more and more working class people are waking up to the extreme inequalities and injustices around us.

More and more are realizing that we aren’t powerless. When we strategize, decide, and work together, we can make serious positive change.

To do this, mass campaigns for the demands Zohran has raised must be a launch point for independent class organization, which can only be done with a strong, democratic DSA that can build up labor and tenant power to fight for and defend these wins.

American socialists and union militants turned for guidance to the T.U.E.L. pamphlet “Lenin & The Trade Union Movement”.

We’re happy to republish it with striking photos of pre-revolutionary Russia by Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky.

DSA stands in absolute opposition to the proposed deal to pass Trump's billionaire budget. Healthcare is a right, not a bargaining chip.

Ann Cudd | President, PSU

Here's what people had to say about Ann:

"Ann Cudd threatened student safety on campus by calling in the Portland Police Bureau who brutalized student protesters. She also prioritizes real estate deals rather than affordable education at an access-institution."

Far from their caricature as coup plotters who hated elections and democracy, the Bolsheviks used electoralism frequently, but towards revolutionary ends. Michael L explores what their work in the 4th Duma looked like and what we can learn from it today.

The PBA wants you to think we — a grassroots membership org — have an outsized influence over local politics, but every statistical indicator says the opposite:

the Portland Business Alliance and their wealthy corporate members continue spend more money on politics than anyone else by a long shot!

Never trust a CEO. Just because bourgeois progressives are better than alternative options does not make them friends of the working-class.

Just to be clear, socialism is *not* when the Republican Party and their corrupt billionaire president cut your food stamps to punish you for being poor while they enrich themselves and their buddies.

That’s actually happening right now in the center of global capitalism.
Great messaging from the OR GOP that will totally resonate with people who will be going hungry. No notes.
