2022-02-10 22:15:40 +0000 UTCA genuine socialist movement will not be born out of the Democratic Party. All pragmatic arguments for using the Democratic ballot line, for appealing to the better angels of reactionary Democratic politicians, and for an “inside-out” strategy—partly inside the Democratic Party and partly pressuring it from without—clash with the historical role played by this party in the defense of the capitalist system. The only solution is to organize the working class into worker councils, independently of and in opposition to the unions, the capitalist political parties, including the pseudo-left, and join the Socialist Equality Party.
