I'm not in her district but if you do, you should vote for Kshama Sawant. unlike Zohran Mamdani, she is running as an independent.

ideally, this is the first step of many of channeling popular energy into the formation of an independent party.

@4ngelscry Good luck measuring the GDP (exchange) of subsistence agriculture lol.

[无产阶级必胜！ @mezdnarod]

@dimipan03_02 @SelkieBosun Econ history measures pre-industrial GDP by "assuming" subsistence agriculture = $1 USD (1990). That's how stupid it is.

[无产阶级必胜！ @mezdnarod]

@omeg_ator @SelkieBosun GDP is designed to measure an economy with free labor - i.e. the primary mode of production and exchange is the free hiring and selling of labor. Pricing didn't exist on subsistence agriculture, or feudal lords extracting wheat from serfs. No markets.

@PartisanMag1917 Taiwan also has a question of national self determination. This self determination can only be exercised by fighting it's main oppressor - the US. Not by confusing with the shadow of Chinese "imperialism".

[无产阶级必胜！ @mezdnarod]

@PartisanMag1917 To say national liberation is purely a diversion is totally reactionary. When China was under Japanese invasion, not fighting for national liberation meant...? Or US invasion of Mexico.

🇨🇺 保卫古巴革命！

在美帝沉重封锁下，古巴共产党推动的“改革”正在为反革命打开大门。古共领导声称改革是在推行中国/越南模式，但现实却并非如此，古巴正在向帝国主义彻底投降。

时间不等人，必须尽快锻造一个左翼反对派，反对古共领导层对帝国主义的投降路线。阅读：

Rather than being a doomer, y'all better seen the true socialist light. Join Lenin's NEP vision. Deng (not Stalin) truly understood Lenin the best. The Century of NEP is upon us! 😆

@sm64blj @zynsoc The people of Ukraine have the right of self determination, including against its main oppressor - the United States. Who is it that provoked Ukraine to wage war on its eastern Russian minorities? Who is it that is operationally controlling the war?

#OTD 1989 Chinese troops smash #Tiananmen protests. What was needed was to harness student and workers discontent, struggle for political revolution purging workers state of bureaucratic cancer, not social counterrevolution bringing back capitalist rule. https://t.co/0uDpbK6yyG

[无产阶级必胜！ @mezdnarod]

@AmalSamaha5 Yes - though defeating it requires putting forward a convincing argument for how a perspective of world revolution can resolve the developmental troubles of the masses. Ignoring that will spell doom for Trotskyism in the remaining workers' states.

[无产阶级必胜！ @mezdnarod]

@mark9191717 @prometheus_mag the ISA had no shortage of splits and does not seem to have a singular charismatic personality. Neither is it particularly high control lol. It does seem like a bad attempt at applying bourgeois psychology to the troubles of the revolutionary movement

[Just Break Already Caucus @cleanbreaknow]

This undermines Kshama campaign. Greens seek salvation by electing libs, not mobilizing workers 2 fight. Strengthen ALL independent socialist campaigns, REJECT Greens! "Vote Socialist"!

[Movement for Kshama @movement4kshama]

This is the wrong endorsement.

The working-class choice in California is Ramsey Robinson & the “Vote Socialist” slate.

Why support @ButchWare who isn’t on the ballot, over socialist @ramsey4gov who is?

Kshama’s endorsement comes from sectarianism towards @pslnational & other socialist groups. It’s also an opportunistic endorsement of a non-socialist candidate, in an effort to appeal to Green Party activists.

PSL & @peaceandfreedom are running a slate of independent socialists statewide: Ramsey Robinson for Gov, Alice Stek for Lt. Gov, Meghann Adams for Controller, Eduardo Vargas for Insurance Commissioner, and Frank Lara for Superintendent of Public Instruction.

Other independent socialists like @Aida4LA (for city attorney) are running in LA on the Peace & Freedom ballot.

The “Vote Socialist” slate is being supported by multiple socialist organizations campaigning on the ground, including @LaborMilitant, @WorkersVanguard, and @SocialistAlt in LA (nationally, SAlt has been silent on the race).

Butch Ware isn’t a socialist. He said so himself in a recent media appearance: “my foundational commitments are not to Marxism or to socialism.” While he occasionally calls himself an “ecosocialist” in order to fend off criticism from the left, Ware is a liberal.

Even if Ware were on the ballot, Ramsey Robinson would be the right choice. But that’s not even the case! Kshama is calling to WRITE IN Butch Ware over the socialist who IS on the ballot.

We are against the undemocratic removal of Ware from the ballot by the California Democratic Party, but that’s no reason to support his campaign over a socialist one.

Kshama’s silence on Ramsey Robinson’s campaign shouldn’t stop @pslnational from supporting her fight against @RepAdamSmith. We can’t fight sectarianism with sectarianism. We need to fight it with solidarity, while having open debate.

PSL and the whole left should back @cmkshama’s independent socialist campaign, and workers should unite around other independent socialist campaigns around the country: @AndreEastonBX, @GregLevy4Senate, @brittanyforri, and the Socialist Party of Indiana.

[zynsoc 🍫 ⛓️‍💥 @zynsoc]

@UlanAertai @AfrikaSocialist It’s not, CPC is pursuing “peaceful coexistence” and propping up what’s left of the US-led international order instead of challenging US hegemony. Didn’t do shit for Palestine, or Venezuela, or Iran. China must fight back, or face the same fate as USSR

Fascinating anecdote by Cuban Trotskyist Idalberto Ferrera Acosta about his time in prison under Castro. Truly taking ‘critical support’ of the Cuban regime to another level lol.
