  1. “Few people who thoughtlessly repeat prejudiced phrases against the Socialists have the least idea what Socialism really is. ... There is a great deal in the principles of Socialism, however repulsive their champions may be, that merits serious thought.” — Joseph Pulitzer’s St. Louis Post-Dispatch. #socialism #stlouis

  2. Andy Hernández is a Venezuelan economist and grassroots activist. He currently serves in the parliament of the 5 de Marzo Comandante Eterno Commune in El Valle, Caracas, and has played an active role in the Communard Union, a national alliance of communes.

  3. A local politics talk show this morning ended with a #Republican denouncing #Democrats "move towards #Socialism", followed by former Progressive Mayor Bill King responding:

    "I dunno. Promising everyone $5,000 checks sure sounds pretty Socialist to me." 😜

  4. @regineheidorn @ArchieredetTacheles @Columba_Livia Und das schreibst du einen Tag nach dem Jahrestag des Putsches in Chile. 😞

    Überall dort, wo Sozialismus probiert wurde, hat er sehr gut funktioniert. Deshalb hat überall dort ja auch die USA interveniert und die CIA die politischen Anführer ermordet oder ermorden lassen. Dem Sozialismus wurde bisher nie erlaubt zu existieren.

    Das was du Sozialismus nennst, ist kein Sozialismus, sondern seine ganz eigene Staatsform: Stalinismus. Eine Diktatur hat nichts gemeinsam mit den Produktionsmitteln in der Hand der Arbeiterklasse. Oder waren in der Sowjetunion die Arbeiter:innen Eigentümer:innen der Fabriken? Nein, im Gegenteil, sie wurden als Kulack:innen in den Gulag gesperrt. Das, was Stalin betrieb, war also kein Sozialismus.

    Es wurde von der USA aber aus Propagandagründen Sozialismus genannt. Und erlaubt zu existieren. Denn mit dem Verweis auf Stalins (oder Maos) Terror-Diktatur hatten die USA immer das Argument "Sehr ihr? Sozialismus funktioniert einfach nicht." als Warnung bereit. "Kapitalismus ist die einzig mögliche Wirtschaftsform."

    Bitte befreie dich von der Propaganda der USA.

  5. In Canada, there really are 2 NDP (purported social democrat) parties. Both sharing the same membership.

    The left party, led by the federal leader, @avilewis wants to build the membership as part of an activist movement.

    The right, who are led by the leaders of the provincial parties, don't want active members. They want donors, and they want volunteers on Election Day, and the rest of the time, they want members to shut up, go away and leave them alone to manage things. As if they were a corporation.

    Who is going to win this power struggle? Hard to say, but I would say probably the people who don't treat their own members as a necessary evil are already winning.

    DSA Democrats will be familiar with this dynamic, I imagine.

  7. RE: mindly.social/@JohnAutry/11725

    The #USA has been spreading democracy around the world since... well, at least 1953. What's even more astonishing is that the USA (and #Israel) are back in Iran trying to remove a regime that only came to power in the first place because of what they did to Iran in 1953 - a coup fuelled by the UK's greediness for Iran’s oil.

  9. On my way to Ostende for Manifiesta, the yearly rally of the Workers' Party of Belgium (PTB/PVDA). They have even organized special trains! Takes me back to the heyday of progressive politics in my native (and deep red) Emilia Romagna ❤️.

    Manu Chao AND Jason Hickel on the programme! I am so in.

  13. I recommend this explainer of socialism.

    - If you're curious about socialism or don't really know what it means, watch it.
    - If you're afraid of being called a "communist" and don't know how to defend your position, watch it.
    - If you're unsure how socialism differs from liberalism, watch it.
