Do words even mean anything? Run a Democratic Party campaign as “independent,” do you even hear yourselves?
Replying to @dsaRandR
The question before DSA is now how we will carry out such a campaign. We can wage a strong, independent campaign with our own message, or we can subordinate ourselves to someone else’s politics. R&R stands unwaveringly for an independent campaign.

Nestor D. argues that treating legislative horse-trading as "morally neutral" misunderstands Marxist strategy and risks turning DSA into the progressive tail of the Democratic Party. cosmonautmag.com/2026/10/let…

Join us this Thursday to discuss the unfolding crisis in NYC-DSA, what Mamdani’s betrayals have to do with the Democratic Party (answer: everything), and how we can build an anti-Zionist, independent-socialist DSA. Register here: tinyurl.com/cleanbreak10-22

NPC said on Oct 4 that DSA-LA chapter’s endorsement of Nithya violated anti-Zionist R22. Today, NPC votes to expel Nithya and/or force endorsement to be rescinded. We are for both! We show how it’s DSA’s ties to Dems that undermines taking firm positions on core principles. (1/3)

NIGERIA: 37 miners were killed by the state. Rather than push forward the uprising of youth, our former organisation, the Movement for Socialist Alternative (@ISA_socialists) has decided to DEFEND the killers! antiimperialistnigeria.subst…

From Nigeria to South Africa: hands off the workers movement and socialist left! An injury to one is an injury to all!
Xolani Khoza entering Mbombela courthouse, 14 October 2026, surrounded by his supporters. The struggle continues: the prosecution once again requested a postponement. His next trial date is set for 21 April 2027 (!). The tactic is meant to grind Xolani and his defenders down.

To defeat the US empire, we must defend Iran while ruthlessly exposing the dead-end strategy of the Axis of Resistance. Read about it in the new issue of our US magazine, The Class Line!

Young Kenyan revolutionaries are battling state repression. They need international solidarity, including help with burdensome legal and medical costs: mchanga.africa/fundraiser/13… @RevolutionCPM @EFFSouthAfrica @AmaBolsheviki @Intl_SocAlt_Rev @mulinge_muteti_
Today, 5 of our anti-imperialist cadres were dragged back to court as the state continues its frivolous, politically motivated circus. This isn't justice it’s state-sponsored repression designed to break young Kenyan leftists, silence youth organizing, and disrupt our education.

We’re signing! But let’s not forget the donkey in the room—much of this applies to DSA Dem electeds Zohran and AOC, too. Divest from the Democrat Party of Genocide!

It's urgent that socialists come together to defend Cuba. @communistsus called for demonstrations demanding this, which we welcome, endorse, and have helped build. Yet RCA hasn't acknowledged our endorsement. Why not? Read our open letter to the RCA here: (🧵1/2)
