ISA-R commends @ISA_socialists on refusing to back down to right wing intimidation. Despite our political disagreements, it's crucial for socialists and working people to stand together against attacks from the ruling class and the far right. Solidarity!

[ISA(R) @Intl_SocAlt_Rev]

@briebriejoy Thanks for sharing our piece! It's crucial for revolutionaries to fight for DSA, the largest left organization in the US, to take up a program of genuine working class independence and break from the Democrats. Check out more of our writing here:

Kshama bears a lot of blame for her unproductive relationship with DSA. But this is a horrible reason for sitting out of her campaign, especially considering DSA's continued support for Democrats who have a poor track record with DSA (and... socialism).

[Socialist Majority Caucus @DSASocMaj]

Curious about Kshama Sawant's relationship to DSA in the wake of her loss Tuesday night? Back in May, @TheDuhalde weighed how Sawant approached DSA against the good-faith requirements of the big tent.

On the surface, they might look similar—but in the latter situation, the position of the working class is combative and active. That’s what makes all the difference in the long run.

[ISA(R) @Intl_SocAlt_Rev]

A mistake some socialists make is believing that if we convince workers to associate socialism with top-down piecemeal reforms, it will be more popular. Instead, capitalist reform is all we get (if that), and working people are still left thinking that change comes from the top.

[ISA(R) @Intl_SocAlt_Rev]

Socialism requires us to convince fellow workers of the necessity of CLASS STRUGGLE—of taking on bosses in the workplace, in elections (with our own party), in direct campaigns. Then we can win reforms WHILE developing the confidence and XP we need to take the fight even further.

There is simply no way out of the climate crisis under capitalism. The ONLY way to reorganize the global economy to save all life on the planet is through socialism.

[ISA(R) @Intl_SocAlt_Rev]

Mitigating (not even preventing) climate crisis requires unprecedented cooperation between all nations and industries to reshape the global economy.

But right now, the world economy is splitting into competing camps led by the US and China.

[ISA(R) @Intl_SocAlt_Rev]

Working class independence starts with an independent party that stands for our needs, our goals, and our international perspective.

Without that, we’re just choosing between two parties who have their foot on the gas toward disaster either way.

#TaxTheRich to pay for student debt forgiveness and free tuition. There—you'd have maybe 12 unhappy billionaires instead of millions of overly burdened working people paying for it. Solved it for you, @SpeakerPelosi.

[ISA(R) @Intl_SocAlt_Rev]

This argument is ludicrous applied to anything else.

"Suppose taxes went to fund schools you didn't attend."
"Suppose taxes went to fund healthcare research you never needed."
"Suppose taxes went to fund libraries you never visited."

[Michael Stratford @mstratford]

Pelosi also questioned the policy wisdom of cancelling student loan debt:

“Suppose…your child just decided they, at this time, [do] not want to go to college but you’re paying taxes to forgive somebody else’s obligations. You may not be happy about that."

[Tax Amazon Burbank @BurbankTax]

Paying for society's collective needs, even if they're not your own immediate ones, IS HOW ALL TAXES WORK.

Also, and please let us know if we're repeating ourselves, but we need to #TaxTheRich to pay for student loan forgiveness, free college tuition, healthcare, and housing.

Socialist Alternative LA stands with @_drivers_united in demanding higher wages and benefits for rideshare drives and passage of the Pro Act.

Uber and Lyft bought themselves a law, but it doesn’t change the truth: rideshare drivers deserve a living wage.

[Tax Amazon Burbank @BurbankTax]

While Jeff flew to ‘space’ this morning on the backs of countless workers, it’s worth reminding ourselves that he doesn’t pay taxes.

We need to rein in billionaire brats like Bezos, Musk, and others to save our world from climate disaster and economic collapse. #TaxTheRich
