The Anti-Immigration Movement: Cutting
Edge of a Fascist
Social Movement
Fascism today is a political response to globalization - capitalism in the age of electronics - and the U.S. battle to dominate the global economy. It is the political expression of the objective concentration of wealth and the spread of poverty. Fascism is not about reaction, that is, returning to some past period. It is a revolutionary political movement that arises in response to a threat to private property relations. CONTINUE...

The Immigration Movement Today
American exceptionalism frames today’s immigration debate. Americans believe that immigration to the U.S. proves the universality of the nation’s liberal democratic principles and we resist examining the role American imperialism has played in the global structures of migration. .CONTINUE...

New Epoch Makes New World Possible
Society in transition, as one economic system comes to an end and another begins, is extremely unstable.  All political activity must be guided by an understanding of both the opportunities and dangers created by this instability and the leap or revolutionary change from one form of human organization to another, from one society to another.

Understand This Moment, Stay on Course
The vast and diverse awakening gives a sense of both the social and mass struggle in the offing. Further deterioration of the economy will draw more sections of society into social struggle. Contention over class interests will manifest itself in mass struggle.  Ultimately, out of the turmoil will come a polarization of class interests and programs. CONTINUE...

Struggle for Revolution to Make Reform Possible
We are at the end of an epoch and any further social reform will come as a result of social revolution that restructures society to become compatible with the new electronic labor-replacing means of production. This is why we struggled for reform when it was possible and necessary. We struggle for revolution in order to make reform possible. CONTINUE...

Agitation and Propaganda What is Needed Today
League agitation and propaganda also has to offer the revolutionaries who are our audience a vision of what they are fighting for, a vision of the new society that is possible with the new means of production. Our agitation and propaganda has to propose concrete answers to real problems while also politicizing people – making them see that they are in a fight as a class for political power.  CONTINUE...

Editorial: The irresistible nature of truth
As Paine wrote all those years ago “Freedom had been hunted round the globe; reason was considered as rebellion; and the slavery of fear had made men afraid to think. But such is the irresistible nature of truth, that all it asks, and all it wants, is the liberty of appearing.” CONTINUE...

Detroit: Capital’s brutal reign reveals a class
unfit to rule
Detroit’s workers can’t go backward or stand still. The intensifying polarization of wealth and poverty finds its expression in the exodus of capital investment from Detroit – and from the auto and manufacturing sectors in general. Within Detroit, 40 square miles of land stand vacant – enough to encompass the whole of Boston,Massachusetts! CONTINUE...

To Think and Act Anew
For millions of Americans, the burning question is, will I find a job? To answer this we have to understand what’s going on in
the economy. Two simultaneous processesare going on. One is the crisis of over-production, the boom-to-bust cycles normal to
a capitalist economy. The other is the revolution in the economy triggered by the new tools of robotics in the mode of production. CONTINUE...

Which Way Forward for the Movement?
The challenge of revolutionary work in the movement is to link the inability of capitalism to deliver and the need for a different system with what is the next step now for the movement. CONTINUE...

Politicizing the Social Motion: Lessons from the Battle for Health Care
As fighters in the social movement we need to participate in the fight to get rid of private insurance. As revolutionaries, we have to politicize it. The fight has to be taken to its ultimate conclusion, to a demand that our government works for society as a whole. This needs to be a wake-up call to political action along class lines. CONTINUE...

Revolutionary Times Demand an Organization of Revolutionaries
Nothing can be accomplished until the American people hold a vision of where they want to go and what they want to be. Creating and imbuing them with such vision is the overriding task of revolutionaries and the foundation of our organization. CONTINUE...

Consciousness and Strategic Direction
The historic aim of world society is the ending of private property and the creation of a cooperative communal society. Today, this lies within humanity's reach. Our class must come to understand that its program alone can resolve humanity's plight, and prepare itself for the fight to assert its will in the battle for transformation. CONTINUE...

Unity is Only Path Forward as Immigrant and U.S. Born Workers Face Common Enemy
As the capitalists' historical means of controlling the native born U.S. working class unravels, they must destroy the nascent working class movement before it becomes conscious of itself and unites to fight for its own interests. To do this, the capitalist class utilizes historically evolved forms to divide and conquer the emerging movement and to mold it toward their own interests. CONTINUE...

The Politics of Bipartisanship:
Clearing the Way
for the New Economy
The drive toward "bipartisanship" today is the political expression of something new taking place in the economy. The ruling class is laying the foundations for a new political movement that is based on the interests of corporate power that is completely merged with the state. CONTINUE...

Political Struggle Requires
Understanding
of Class and Strategy
The fight for what they need to survive will more and more force the workers to confront the question of who holds political power. A strategy and an approach that politicizes and educates from within the broad awakening to develop consciousness of class is no longer a theoretical issue, but a practical necessity. CONTINUE...
