"Red Aid differs from mutual aid in a few critical respects. Mutual aid is a way of organizing a community to meet its own needs; it is a kind of labor exchange where members contribute what they are able and take what they need. In a certain sense, it is an attempt to establish the political economy of communism in miniature. While mutual aid is often run by small(ish) anarchist circles, there’s no necessity that it be organized by the politically advanced or class conscious elements at all. Red Aid, in contrast, is an explicitly communist strategy. Red Aid has to be run by a Communist organization."
"Although it can incorporate a labor exchange element as part of its overall strategy of organizing, there doesn’t need to be any such element for it to accomplish its primary goals. Red Aid can very easily be a unilateral form of aid directly from a Communist organization to a community. Unlike mutual aid programs, Red Aid is not performed primarily with community self-sufficiency as a goal. It doesn’t “develop dual power” or challenge the state system of distribution directly. Red Aid also differs from charity in that its goal isn’t merely to provide material necessities to make a difference in underserved communities by meeting their needs."

"In clear terms, this blurb outlined CPUSA's tactic. It was a baby's first workshop for those who wanted to exercise their bourgeois-democratic rights of voting, make petitions, and have meetings with elected officials. It promised to teach the most basic skills of doing so, all within a liberal framework of the free competition of ideas. In that sense the ideological content matched the label on the box. But why would the ostensible Communist Party be engaging in this type of activity of liberal miseducation? And why host it at a white church (a tellingly white church) instead of at one of the numerous Black churches in segregated Peoria?"
"Because essentially the CPUSA has no interest in uniting the revolutionary masses of the US Empire. CPUSA has all the interest in the world, however, in reproducing its membership of radical-liberals, and securing the greater white networks of support that make that reproduction of the activist-organizer caste possible. In no stage of this process does the leadership have an interest in actually making revolution. Whether this idea of hosting a liberal workshop was stochastically generated by Peoria CPUSA's own reformist-minded members, or if a directive came down from a higher body, it makes no difference in so far as the results are the same: a counter-revolutionary tactic for a counter-revolutionary strategy wielded by a revisionist and settler-chauvinist organization whose sole purpose is to reproduce the conditions of its own existence."

"You may not know much about the Islamic Republic of Iran. If you listen to the propaganda rags of the ruling class, your idea of the Islamic Republic is probably one where the people despise their government, where despotic theocrats oppress women and LGBTQ+ people, and where the average Iranian yearns for the freedom of US bombs and missiles. You should never let anyone tell you who your enemy is without looking into the matter yourself. You see, the ruling class of the US empire benefit from you believing these things. That ruling class that was so recently exposed as a nest of pedophiles, eugenicists, white and Jewish supremacists, and influence-peddling monsters, control the messages coming out of the news media because they own the news media. They badly want you to support the wanton annihilation of school girls, universities, bridges, power plants, and medical research centers. "
"Make no mistake, the US ruling class has no interest in the "rights" of Iranians. The extent of US military solidarity with the people of Iran is simply this: the US capitalists want better access to oil, the US capitalists want to protect their crumbling vassal state in Palestine, and the US ruling class will use any justification it can cook up to permit it to re-establish hegemony over West Asia. What are the facts of the US war against the Iranian people? First, you should know a little bit about the history of the Islamic Republic of Iran and its relations with the US; the Iranians certainly do. Public memory in the US usually begins with the 1979 hostage crisis. Iranian memory goes back quite a bit further."

"The fundamental human right to bodily autonomy is stripped away, and the cultural norms of cispatriarchal dominance are forcibly asserted onto the bodies of children. That this is a historic blow to transgender rights within the legal structures of the U.S. empire should, for our readers, go without saying. What needs to be explicated here is the function of this ruling, in material and ideological terms. Why is the ruling class so deeply concerned with transgender issues? Why, when we’re such a minute fraction of the population, when most of us just want to be left alone to live our lives, are we so often the target of history’s most powerful empire? "
"What is the psychological impact on the children for whom their agency over their own bodies is violently ripped away from them, whose bodies are disfigured against their will, and their identities and very humanity denied them by friends, family, and society? These mechanisms of social abuse lead many trans people to attempt suicide. It is of course nonsense to assert that being trans makes us suicidal, rather than the issue of the above denial of our fundamental humanity, and denial of our access to life-saving medical care, and denial to community, love, support, and respect, that produces suicidal individuals. It’s social murder. But that is naturally the aim of these policies. The cruelty is the point. They want us dead."

"Who benefits from ICE rounding up and deporting US citizens? Into whose pocket do those benefits flow? Ask any liberal, and they'll tell you there's only one person: Donald J. Trump. "This is irrational, destructive ideology at work! It's Trump setting himself up to become a dictator!" They want you to believe -- they need you to believe -- that there's no world in which someone is making a profit off of the ICE deportations. Ask any chauvinist 'Marxist' and they'll tell you the same thing, but about some "faction" of the 'industrial bourgeoisie.' They both need you to believe that ICE deportations don't play a role in maintaining the social and economic order. The reason is that they need you to believe in the existence of some 'good' civil society, in this myth of the 'good' America counterposed to the 'bad' one."

"Protest in the so-called u.s. is a simulacrum of protest. While some of the components that make up a ‘protest’ are present, those that imbue the protest with its revolutionary character are absent. It is protest theater. Over the past couple of years, many of the popular protest orgs have started calling for 'strikes' that last one day, carry no strike fund, and basically only operate at the individual level—in the sense that the call is simply put out and individuals participate or don’t. These orgs put out graphics telling people to skip work and school, with ‘demands,’ and claim that this will grind the economy to a halt. The day comes and goes. No one really knows how many people actually heeded the call. No economic impact is ever really assessed. Did it work? Were the demands met? Does the organization even care? It’s a simulacrum of a strike."
"These ineffectual actions aren’t simply a product of bad organizing but rather of liberal, idealistic ways of understanding and formulating political struggle. You ask people how they are measuring if the protests they are calling for are working and they look at you like you are speaking another language. They aren’t thinking in terms of the protest ‘working.’ Rather, they protest because it is ‘good’ to protest and to show that we oppose what’s happening. There’s often this unspoken hope that the state will see how many people show up to the protests and will base its decisions on that. But then the protests happen and the state ignores them and the protest orgs keep doing the same thing over and over again."

"Whenever an organization is founded for the purpose of advancing revolutionary struggle, you have to establish minimum principles with everyone involved. These are usually written out in a form that all the prospective members read over and agree to. The list of principles is called the organization's points of unity. It represents the issues around which membership is unified. Points of unity spell out the ideological commitments that all members of the organization agree to in order to become and remain members. They allow the membership to ensure it has a sufficient ideological coherence that it can come to agreement on actions. The points of unity essentially create the basic ideological character of the organization, and help ensure that even new members adhere to the ideological direction that it intends to move in."

"As communists, using scientific analysis of contemporary and historical social relations to determine the correct path of revolutionary struggle is the key aspect of our work. What differentiates Marxism from other pseudo-intellectual attempts at social analysis is that humans are not prescribed natures as independent actors or socially dependent subjects, but are understood in their contradictory truth as both. As an individual you can act in ways that benefit both yourself and those around you. You can go vegan, reduce food waste and compost the rest, and even plant native flowers to help local pollinators. "
"The issue with individual action lies not in its moral nature as a good thing that you should do, but in its quantitative relation to broader society. One person going vegan in a country of over three hundred million is going to have a negligible effect on average consumption habits and their subsequent environmental impacts. However, local concentrations of thousands of vegans and a national population of over a million can begin to introduce qualitative changes in broader society. This is the dialectical nature of social development."

"The base is social. It is interrelational, interpersonal, describing real relations between real individuals. Production itself is a social activity. Therefore, the importance of economics is not 'economic determinism,' it is social determinism. Social in a collective sense, beyond any single person’s will, but still social. And the superstructure is 'legal and political.' If the base is the relations of production, it becomes necessary to point out that Marx has said that property relations are merely the same thing as relations of production but in the legal sphere. That appears to be the identity of our superstructure: The legal and political mechanisms by which the relations of production are made stable, which organically arise from the activities of the economy."

"By far the bulk of the speech was devoted to nativist fear mongering about immigrants. It also included naked threats issued to Iran, demanding the Iranian state surrender its nuclear weapons program or suffer an invasion. There was a token reference to the policy of trans genocide (inverted, of course, as 'saving' children). In its entirety, the speech was clearly aimed at stoking the traditional US middle-class militarism and strengthening the regime’s basis among the labor aristocrats they have been alienating with their Minneapolis operation. The Burgher King attempted to negotiate this while downplaying the fault-line he has opened with the US vassals in NATO."

"This strategy of reacting rather than acting leads to intense burnout among organizers and difficulties sustaining long-term activity. Paired with rumors of conflict and infighting among the national level organizers, it’s unsurprising that the communications network has declined to the degree it has. This all gestures to the problem of structurelessness that followed A15 from the beginning: with no clear roles, guidelines or expectations on conduct, and no system for accountability, the A15 movement inevitably became a one-off moment with minimal continuing impact or legacy."
