A US left party that isn't crazy like the Greens? Interesting.

do you consider a Revolutionary Marxist-Leninist Party working toward International Socialist Revolution in the United States less crazier than the greens?

Could you explain to me, in detail and specifics, how people starving in Africa at the moment is the fault of capitalism and how socialism would prevent it?

starvation is a failure of the distribution of resources, ie the economy, and the economies of Africa are overwhelmingly capitalist.

What I'm saying about that is socialism isn't the only solution and capitalism isn't the only cause.

SA chapters around the country faced mass defection after the party endorsed bernie, and even more after bernie did what he said hed do all along and endorsed clinton at the DNC. the PSL branch im in has picked up more than a few refugees from that group.

i'd also like to announce that as of an hour ago, Gloria La Riva was selected as California's Peace and Freedom Party nominee in a crowded field against attempts by the Green Party to hijack the nomination on behalf of Jill Stein. Socialists are tired of backing liberal parties - its time to build up our own.


it is our belief that the united states is not one unified nation, but is rather a state holding many nations at once. this is how/why we advocate national liberation as well. as for the 'extremely limited tollerance' of americans for socialism, id say we should look at how people reacted to bernie's campaign. sanders and the PSL differ on what we consider socialist, but the mass support behind his campaign shows there is ample support for socialism in this country.


theres a lot going on in this post. yes, oppressed nations inside the united states are dispersed. this isnt particularly unusual, and actually compares to the ussr rather well. there have been many texts and different ideas on how oppressed nations can be liberated inside the united states, from the CPUSA's Black Belt autonomy from the 30s to the BPP's revolutionary intercommunalism. if you'd like links feel free to ask. as an aside, no one is claiming asians and pacific islanders and 'hispanics' are all part of the same oppressed nation, these are all different. we're also not saying compradors don't exist, that'd be absurd.

USSR ethnic majority map (1974)


US ethnic majority map (2000)


that map of the US is not an ethnic majority map, that is an ethnic plurality map, and it divides white people along ancestral lines that have little bearing on modern American race relations/ethnicity
