A bloc of divergent working class political groups is sometimes completely indispensable. However, we must never give up our political autonomy to bourgeois interests or fail to distinguish our aims of proletarian revolution. For a workers’ united front, not popfrontism!
OTD in 1942, Chen Duxiu, co-founder of the Chinese Communist Party and early supporter of the Left Opposition, passed away. A legacy marked by the tragic suppression of the 1927 Chinese revolution, we remember him today and the lessons against the trappings of the popular front.
However, in 1927 the KMT would purge the communists in a bloody massacre. Chen was scapegoated for this failure, despite sounding the alarm on the KMT’s bourgeois character. After aligning with the Left Opposition against liquidationism, he was expelled from the CCP in 1929.

While they did what they could to help the movement, its trajectory was not towards victory. Comrades Sarah and Jesse wrote on their experience on the hundred nights in Portland, as well as six lessons from BLM for Palestine.

On this day in 2020, George Floyd was murdered by two policemen in Minneapolis, accused of counterfeiting a $20 bill. He today is remembered as another one of the victims of racist police brutality, alongside Breonna Taylor, Jason Washington, Mike Brown and so many others.
His death in 2020 sparked a massive nationwide movement against police brutality and white supremacy, which demanded not just individual, but structural justice. In Portland, the YDSA chapter at the time participated in the 100 nights of Black Lives Matter protests.
R&R comrades have been hard at working building a strong, fighting, campaigning YDSA this year! Tune in as we announce our plans to take things to the next level, and introduce our two incredible candidates!

“I saw the lack of a socialist presence within SEK and how weak the Democratic Party overall has been out here and figured, why not? [DSA] can become the alternative…
SEK is one of the poorest parts of the state overall. We want to end the worst effects of poverty here.”
Check out this interview in Democratic Left with R&R comrade AJ K, who talks about his experience as a rural organizer and co-chair of the newly founded Southeast Kansas DSA!

The disagreement is subtly reorganized into a more familiar dichotomy: a responsible majority defending process and stability versus a reckless minority escalating tensions and distorting reality. The focus moves away from questions of working-class struggle and strategy.
The No More 24 debate has spilled far beyond the original policy question. Groundwork’s response article shifts the terrain from politics to tone, redirecting attention from the underlying strategic questions and toward the conduct of those raising them.

By framing the conflict primarily in terms of misinformation and factionalism, the article narrows the space for legitimate disagreement and implicitly places the burden of the crisis on those raising criticisms. The issue becomes not whether the minority position has merit.
