July 24, 2020Police are Drugging Black People to Death

July 20, 2020Anti-Zionism Is Not Antisemitism
The International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance offers a "working definition" of antisemitism. This definition is "bewilderingly imprecise," as one expert says. Its purpose is to accuse the Left of antisemitism, as was the case when Trotskyist legislators in Argentina were recently accused of "antisemitism" for refusing to support Israeli apartheid.

June 27, 2020Socialism is The Future. Our Generation Will Win It.
We are in the midst of widespread uprisings against racist state violence, led by a vanguard of Black youth. With more and more young people pushing forward and leading social movements, working class youth must ensure our movements don’t fall away or be co-opted by the Democratic Party. We need to create a political party of our own, one that has the youth united with the working class to take the fight directly to the capitalist system.

June 26, 2020George Washington’s Statue and the Myth of America’s “Great” History Come Crashing Down
The tearing down of statues and monuments to the U.S.’s most (in)famous historical figures has become an important act of rebellion throughout the movement against police terror and structural racism. While Trump and the establishment rush to protect the racist legacy that these monuments represent, protesters are tearing down these statues and revealing the truth about the United States --- it has never been the “land of the free.”
