  Inequality Should Not Be the Only Rallying Cry for the Left For the first century of its existence, the organized left mobilized around the “labor question”: who determines the what and how of production. For years, though, the Left has abandoned this question for a concern with inequality — at its own peril. Inequality Should Not Be the Only Rallying Cry for the Left

  "The one thing that never arrives is equality." - George Orwell ".... one of the chief difficulties of the Socialist movement—the fact that the word “Socialism” means something quite different to a working man from what it means to a middle-class Marxist. To those who actually have the destiny of the Socialist movement in their hands, virtually everything that a manual worker means when he says “Socialism” is either irrelevant or heretical.... the manual workers in a machine civilization have certain characteristics forced upon them by the circumstances in which they live: loyalty, improvidence, generosity, hatred of privilege. It is out of these that they evolve their vision of a future society, so that the mystique of proletarian Socialism is the idea of equality. This is a very different vision from that of the middle-class Socialist who accepts Marx as his prophet—literally a prophet, a tipster who not only tells you which horse to back, but also provides the reaso...

  How Jimmy Carter paved the way for Reagan How Jimmy Carter paved the way for Reagan – International Socialism Project

  What happened to the International Socialists (U.S.)?  The 1970s still looms large in the imagination of the dwindling numbers of veterans of the New Left in the United States. The generational shift from campus activism and labor support work in the latter years of the Vietnam War to “industrializing” in the big factories, assembly plants, and mills was an important political development. Inspired by the strike waves and rebellion in the trade unions, thousands of former students, many of whom were members of a bewildering array of competing Stalinist, Maoist, and Trotskyist groups, including the International Socialists (IS), sought to build revolutionary parties in the U.S. working class. Yet, despite the enthusiasm and political commitment of many talented people, this political project was a failure. By the late 1970s, the rank-and-file rebellion was over, and the “party-building” projects of many groups had collapsed and disintegrated, in many cases with great regrets,...

  Fight the Constitution! Demand a New Republic! Jenna Grove proposes a radical New Union Act to throw the antiquated US Constitution into the dustbin of history Down with the Old Order. We’re sick of this divided republic. It slices up our institutions to make them unaccountable. It lets Mitch McConnell and the Electoral College and nine old men stomp on the needs of the people. It locks the working class majority out of power; it gives us no say in the future of the country Fight the Constitution! Demand a New Republic!

  For A Fighting Workers Movement Points of Unity: For Class Struggle Unions! Workers within the established unions must organize themselves on a class-struggle basis to oppose the misleadership of boss-linked officials. The working class and the employer class hold no common interests. Unions must break from the capitalist class political parties. The struggle of the working class is an international struggle against a global capitalist class system of wage labor exploitation and requires international solidarity between workers of all nations to succeed in realizing its aims. Building working-class strike power remains an indispensable and central pillar to advancing the independent interest of the working class in defense of wages, living standards, and in forcing greater political demands against the class of employers and their state. Unions must break from timid subordination to the capitalist state’s legal-regulatory apparatus, that of the National Labor Relations Act and Ta...
