“The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win. Proletarians of all countries, Unite!”
-Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, “The Communist Manifesto” #CommunistManifesto #CapitalismFails #TrySocialism

I am proud to stand among the comrades of the fifth-largest chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America. Let the East Bay, steadfast in organization and struggle, become the tinder & the torch—helping to ignite the flame of socialist revolution against the rule of capital. #JoinDSA #TrySocialism

One may grasp Marx and still light Sabbath candles—so long as faith fortifies, not fetters, class struggle. The point is not to bow before dogma but to enlist every emancipatory tradition under the red banner. Essay with the link in bio. #TrySocialism #KarlMarx

Scientific socialism and its fraternal currents in China, Cuba, Vietnam, and Laos Tracing the red thread of Marxism–Leninism from Marx and Lenin to contemporary socialist projects in China, Cuba, Vietnam, and Laos.

Tracing the red thread of Marxism–Leninism to contemporary socialist projects in China, Cuba, Vietnam, and Laos, examining how each creatively wields party leadership, law, and market mechanisms in the service of proletarian emancipation. #CapitalismFails #TrySocialism #China #Cuba #Vietnam #Laos

It’s based to critique @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social but organizing 90,000+ volunteers is lit af! I guess what I’m saying is #TrySocialism, with @demsocialists.bsky.social, #PSL, #RefuseFascism, #GreenPartyUS (or all of the above and more)…just start organizing every way you can! We need you!🏴💖🚩

In the very citadel of U.S. finance capital, a disciplined, anti-Zionist, class-struggle cadre of the Democratic Socialists of America has seized the mayoralty of New York City. The steadfast agitation, organization, and unity delivered victory. We have a world to win. #JoinDSA #TrySocialism #NYC

May Day isn’t a slogan; it’s a schedule. Coordinate across sectors, win supermajorities, and be ready to stop work together. When labor moves as one, the machine stalls—and we win real gains. Link in bio. 3/3. #CapitalismFails #TrySocialism #NoKings

Processions without plans change nothing. Build strike committees, train captains, align timelines, and make the bosses pay attention where it hurts—profit. From dispersion to discipline, from noise to power. Link in bio. 2/3. #CapitalismFails #TrySocialism #NoKings

Millions in the streets show our moral power. But moral power without organization leaves the ruling class unmoved. From rallies to rank-and-file structures—let’s turn outrage into leverage that can’t be ignored. Link in bio. 1/3. #CapitalismFails #TrySocialism #NoKings

Turn the primary into a movement of class struggle Why communists should back Mamdani and Fateh — then organize beyond the ballot

Our task is not to stand aloof from the arena in which millions still seek remedies, but to transform that arena into a school of class struggle. #CapitalismFails #TrySocialism #SystemChange

Capitalism.

The answer all of that poison drips from is Capitalism.

Not envy, but militant joy as socialism gains strength in imperialism’s citadel. Comrades in Chicago: speak plainly. Raise the banner—uncompromising struggle against Zionism, firm proletarian internationalism, and living solidarity with the oppressed of the Global South. #DSACon25 #DSA #TrySocialism

So-called “right-wing populism” is a farce Capitalist crisis, reactionary scapegoats, and the socialist path to liberation.

Only by forging that international and multi-ethnic alliance can we tear down the false boundaries that the capitalists and their populist puppets impose. #CapitalismFails #TrySocialism #SystemChange

Right-wing populism is not a coherent program or set of principles but a political tendency that reemerges whenever conditions allow. Essay in the bio. #CapitalismFails #TrySocialism #SystemChange

Only socialism can ensure Jewish safety — down with Zionism and imperialism Zionism is a bourgeois-imperialist project that endangers Jews and oppresses Palestinians, while genuine safety and liberation for all can…

Zionism is a bourgeois-imperialist project that endangers Jews & oppresses Palestinians, while genuine safety & liberation for all can come only through socialist, internationalist class struggle. #FreePalestine #FromtheRivertotheSea #GazaGenocide‌ #EndIsraeliApartheid #CapitalismFails #TrySocialism

The reality is that Zionism serves imperialism, and we must oppose it as relentlessly as we oppose capitalism itself. Essay in the bio. #FreePalestine #FromtheRivertotheSea #CeasefireNOW #GazaGenocide‌ #EndIsraeliApartheid #CapitalismFails #TrySocialism

Participating in bourgeois-democratic elections “helps that proletariat to prove to the backward masses why such parliaments deserve to be done away with.”

“Unlike the anarchists, the Marxists recognise struggle for reforms, i.e., for measures that improve the conditions of the working people without destroying the power of the ruling class.”

Any so-called analysis of Comrade Zohran Kwame Mamdani’s 2025 NYC mayoral primary triumph that fails to proclaim him a disciplined, dues-paid DSA cadre is idle bourgeois chatter fit only for the dustbin. #RotiAndRoses #ZohranForMayor #NewYork #CapitalismFails #TrySocialism #JoinDSA

“Hegel remarks somewhere that all great world-historic facts and personages appear, so to speak, twice. He forgot to add: the first time as tragedy, the second time as farce.”

Don’t let petty-bourgeois cynics paint compassion as weakness. Ignore bleating haters who’d shrink our ranks or claim this order is the limit. Shoulder to shoulder, forged in iron discipline, we’ll seize the brighter world that is rightfully ours. #CapitalismFails #TrySocialism #Communism #JoinDSA

“If it were necessary to give the briefest possible definition of imperialism we should have to say that imperialism is the monopoly stage of capitalism.”
