@boguswaves1 Leon Trotsky (who was literally on The Central Committee of The Bolshevik Party) was the chairman of Petrograd Soviet’s Military Revolutionary Committee which coordinated the seizure of key buildings, the telegraph, bridges, and the Winter Palace during The October Revolution.
The US ruling class is tightening the noose on Cuba in an attempt to smash the Cuban Revolution.
The Third Congress of the RCA pledged its solidarity with the Cuban masses against the bloodthirsty imperialist encroachment.
The main enemy is at home: overthrow US imperialism!
Protests being out people, many of whom are unorganized, into the streets to express their anger and frustration which makes them golden opportunities to recruit new people into the revolutionary party.
Furthermore, protests can serve to spread ideas, demonstrate the popularity of an idea (if its particularly large), and put pressure on the ruling classes to respond (as we saw in Minneapolis where the people forced a defacto city wide strike from the bottom by not going to work an protesting instead.
As nice as this sounds, no amount of charity work will overthrow the oppression of the billionaires. It is waste of time and resources.
Intervening in protests allows the revolutionary party to connect with the masses, spread the ideas of marxism, recruit, and even guide the movement of the masses if they are influential enough.
Picking up trash does none of that.
Tired of endless protesting with orgs that don't do meaningful work? Join us in building a new party that serves working class communities the government neglects.
@Iy2RgSCQz5dH8W5 In short, whereas the ACP bends to revisionist and petty-bourgeois deviations (patriotism/nationalism, LGBTQ phobia, misogyny, China as actually existing socialism, religion) we hold to the core of what Marxism actually is.
Because, In short, Stalinism is a distortion of Marxism and has played an unequivocally reactionary role in the class struggle.
Only Leon Trotsky (and Ted Grant who succeeded him) held true to the ideas of Marx, Engels, and Lenin and fought for those ideas until he was murdered by Stalin and his cronies.
Marxism is about the international working class taking power and democratically managing the state and economy globally not about a beuractric clique seizing power, ruling over the workers, and doing everything to maintain their own power and privileges.
