Its history rests on slavery & Indigenous genocide; its culture celebrates imperialist warfare and bloodshed; and its policies and legislations codify an insidious hyper-racism, a political chauvinism, & an ongoing social regression

Party work is the core work we should undertake in service of the revolution. Be wary of those who—instead of organizing with the parties—use their voices to tear down the parties, to steer work away from the parties, and to promote celebritism over real organizational work.

"The labor song was not just sung for fun or entertainment. Through common labor, these songs united the efforts of the workers, giving their actions harmony, cadence, and cohesion. It was, therefore, a means of organizing collective action. [Art] retains this value even now."
