“A Rethinking of Everything Altogether”
Why hasn’t the so-called u.s. left, despite all of the efforts made over the last two years, been able to meaningfully intervene in a live-streamed genocide?
Struggle
Unifying Principles
Without points of unity, an organization cannot make headway. It spends all of its time treading water, debating over and over again on topics that should be closed.
On the Retraction of “Liberal Feminism and the Commodification of the Cunt”
Sexual behaviors are reflections of social and cultural phenomena, but in isolation they tell us very little about contemporary material conditions. We must constantly go deeper.

First, know the most urgently felt needs of the people. Then, use our knowledge of political economy, organizational theory, and historical materialism to create an answer.

The labor movement has been exhausted of its revolutionary potential, in most instances actually serving as a buttress for reaction and a pillar of imperialism, but because our Communists are mechanical in their application of historical materialism (often in the service of opportunism), they focus on recreating the precise tactics of past revolutionaries rather than drawing lessons from revolutionary history and applying them creatively.
Forward Out of FRSO
This most recent scandal again demonstrates the inseparability of the structures of organizing we have criticized in the past from the perpetuation of chauvinism and abuse.

The CPUSA, FRSO, PSL, and DSA are not identical, but all suffer from a palpable stagnancy.
