Assistant National Secretary of the Socialist Equality Party (UK) (@SEP_Britain) and writer for the World Socialist Web Site (@WSWS_Updates).

[Socialist Equality Party (Britain) @SEP_Britain]

The Socialist Equality Party is launching an initiative to sign up hundreds of new SEP Supporters and involve them in the party’s campaigning and educational work.

Our party must grow to provide leadership to the emerging struggles of the working class against war, austerity and assaults on democratic rights.

We want all those who agree with our programme and history to join the SEP. But those wanting to fight for socialism who are not yet ready to join and are not yet fully familiar with what we stand for can still lend practical assistance by contributing their time, funds, resources, experience, and ideas as Supporters.

We welcome the participation of all who agree with the party’s essential aims and are prepared to fight alongside us for them.

[Socialist Equality Party (Britain) @SEP_Britain]

In 1925, Leon Trotsky warned that Britain was heading toward revolutionary upheaval.

One year later, millions walked out in the 1926 General Strike.

100 years on, the lessons have never been more urgent.

Workers have shown enormous willingness to fight. The obstacle is the trade union bureaucracies, colluding with the government to suppress every serious struggle.

📍Join our meetings in Sheffield, Manchester, Inverness, London and Glasgow for a discussion on:
• What really happened in 1926
• Why it matters today
• A socialist way forward

Zack Polanski's Green Party does not represent a way forward for workers. The Socialist Equality Party explains why this is the case as part of establishing the working class’s political independence from the bourgeoisie.

The Revolutionary Communist Party's objectivist political line, which, as Trotsky wrote, works to "cloak the sins of opportunism with solemn references to the objective tendencies of development", acts to prevent workers and students from drawing this conclusion.

Trump is openly preparing a massive crime against humanity in Iran. The working class must stop this war.

[David North @DavidNorthWSWS]

Trump said: "An entire civilization will die tonight." We declare our solidarity with the people of Iran. The working class of the world must oppose this monstrous crime. It must be stopped.

[Tom Scripps @ThomasScripps]

Britain’s participation in the war against Iran is criminal.

This is an illegal war for regime change, waged against an oppressed country.

Once again, a Labour government staffed by political criminals is dragging the country into a US-led war for oil.

What is needed is a fight for socialist internationalism among workers of all countries.

Not moral appeals to a Labour government which has none.

Contact the Socialist Equality Party, join us and take up the fight of your lives.

Statement by David North, national chairperson of the Socialist Equality Party (US), opposing the war and calling for an immediate end to the illegal attack on Iran.

Notes from a Resident Doctor:

"A typical 12.5-hour weekend shift for me now means a marathon ward round of around 50 patients, which can finish as late as 5pm. We have one registrar and one junior to cover the whole of general surgery.

[Tom Scripps @ThomasScripps]

No socialist movement can be built without waging political war against these forces. What has been squashed in the working class by the politics of adaptation, subservience and apologia can be animated by the politics of intransigence, rebellion and ruthless criticism.

[Tom Scripps @ThomasScripps]

This is the standard anti-socialist trope: that the working class is too right-wing or stupid to respond to serious left-wing politics and the only way to succeed politically is to abandon such “sectarian” aims.

[Peace & Justice Project @corbyn_project]

Your Party’s future is in the balance. The choice:

🅰️A mass socialist party rooted in a broad social alliance with the working class at its heart

🅱️A fringe party shouting from the sidelines

If you want 🅰️ you need to elect @jeremycorbyn and @TheManyYP.

[Tom Scripps @ThomasScripps]

Corbyn represents a social milieu and political apparatus which has bedevilled the British working class for decades, an amalgam of the anti-socialist Labourism of the Fabian Society and the anti-socialist Stalinism of the Morning Star.

On Saturday March 14, the SEP will host a public meeting in London dealing with a critical event in the history of the revolutionary movement.

Introducing Socialism AI, a revolutionary tool for the working class. https://t.co/aHK5SSywNY

[Tom Scripps @ThomasScripps]

● Organise meetings on campus to prepare a cross-campus campaign in defence of the PA prisoners.

● Take the campaign to the workplaces, encouraging and collaborating with workers to mount protests in defiance of their Labour Party-aligned trade union leaderships.

● Contact the IYSSE for assistance and send videos and messages of support to be published on the WSWS.

[Tom Scripps @ThomasScripps]

The IYSSE condemns the Labour Party war criminals responsible for this savagery and demands the immediate release of all political prisoners.

It is not the opponents of genocide who are terrorists, but the Labour Party using the repressive powers of the state to frighten and silence its opponents.

[Tom Scripps @ThomasScripps]

A counteroffensive in defence of democratic and social rights and against war and genocide cannot be left to the heroic self-sacrifice of a few. Their cause is the cause of the entire working class and student youth, which must be mobilised in their defence. The IYSSE urges students:

[Tom Scripps @ThomasScripps]

Stalinists--whose political tendency has spent decades relying on violence, intimidation, censorship and falsification to suppress genuine socialism--are horrified by Socialism AI.

And they are, frankly, stupid enough to post "gotcha" answers which will only raise this revolutionary new tool in the estimation of all serious socialists.

Welcome Socialism AI!

The launch of Socialism AI marks a significant new stage in the fight for socialist consciousness, to clarify political perspective and to prepare workers and youth for the escalation of class struggle that will define the second half of the 2020s.
