To do this, mass campaigns for the demands Zohran has raised must be a launch point for independent class organization, which can only be done with a strong, democratic DSA that can build up labor and tenant power to fight for and defend these wins.

In some sense the Russian revolutionaries carried out a “rank and file strategy”, with early intellectuals and college grads orientating to blue collar workplaces.
But this strategy was less about grads taking factory jobs, and more about recruiting organic worker leaders.

You know who the real freeloaders in this country are? Not people who rely on SNAP, but corporations whose business model depends on wages so low that taxpayers have to feed their workers.

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.
Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:
* Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled
* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages

Since being elected, Trump has taken authoritarian actions at a scale which the U.S. has not seen in a long time, culminating in a recent series of federal military occupations. R&R member Diego examines their nature and what we must do to fight back.
