If you ever hear that the #Nazis were #socialists from some faschy chud, tell them that on #ThisDayInHistory in 1933, Nazi Germany banned #unions and #CollectiveBargaining, increased the maximum working hours to 72 per week, and began conscripting citizens for #ForcedLabour.
@luckytran Take Note: Lets leave our rallying until Spring. @als #anarchy #blm #lgbt #queer #trans #antifa #palestine #ukraine #communism #communist #socialist #socialists #socialism #feminists #lgbtq #prochoice #israel #russia
" #Authoritarianism is when #socialists stop #capitalists from doing #capitalism"
As well as this, they tried to remove #RCV, like in the 1930's in #NewYork.
They had #ProportionalRepresentation & #RankedChoiceVoting for #municipal elections. Not only did it benefit black & brown people & poorer #community, but it also help elect a #Socialist & #Communist.
#NY ultimately removed RCV & #PR because #Communists & #Socialists were gaining seats.

When did American liberals become such flag humpers?
I checked out the #antiTrump rally today & all I saw were shitlibs wrapped up in American flags holding signs that said "SAVE OUR #CONSTITUTION!"
Fuck that shit! We need more #socialists & #communists protesting Trump.
'Some #socialists wanted to work through #government, #political parties, and the #state to seize power. Other socialists saw this as a #corruptible #reformist effort. Instead, they argued for building socialism from below through direct action, federations, and the expropriation of the means of production. The different sides agreed #capitalism had to go and that the state itself was a looming threat, but struggled to find unity in their respective approaches.'

Over 30,000 people in #Denver showed up to a rally spearheaded by 2 #democratic #socialists, but both parties will keep pretending that #Americans aren't hungry for a real change.

So my friend and I, have a discord server. The idea of it is a community for supporting other leftist content creators. If you are a leftist content creator on YouTube or other similar platforms. Check us out
For all the #liberals who shit on #leftists, I GUARANTEE that the MAJORITY of these #activists putting their bodies on the line are leftists, #socialists, Marxists, #communists, pro #Palestine, anti #zionist, pro #transgender rights, and/or #police / #ICE #abolitionists.
Think of that when you repost and celebrate.
opportunities, income, worker protections, health care, reproductive rights, education, child care, personal freedoms and protections from violence.

Did you see yesterday's #GreenSocialist podcast with Vladyslav Starodubtsev, a #Ukrainian #socialist #historian, to discuss the current situation in #Ukraine, ahead of the 3rd anniversary of the full-scale invasion by #Russia, the history of #socialists in Ukrainian history & the central role of socialists in the Ukrainian independence movement.
Next election is like prime time for #socialists & #communists to run for #local office.

The most confusing thing I've learned on Mastodon so far is how many supposed #socialists support the fascist government of #China. Stalin may have modified the ideas of Marx to suit the authoritarian reality of Russia, but China takes the fascist elements of the USSR and forgets the socialist bits.
You can't claim a nation so full of poverty, rich capitalists, and suppression of the proletariat is socialist, without being immediately outed as either a troll or plant undermining #socialism.
This is my way of saying “my fellow #anarchists, #socialists, and #communists, come one, come all, and salt these protests so that they may bear revolutionary fruit!”
@flyhigh like honestly my only path thus far is building political platforms online, because most anarchists I've met are totally insincere.
Mostly it's just polycules and close knit creative collectives waxing poetic over bottle of wine. I fucking hate that. I'm so sick and tired of it.
This is partly why the #liberals are taken more seriously, because despite what we may think of them, they let off an aire of legitimacy.
Again, this is why #socialists and #anarchists keep #losing.
And this is why I love #MaineDSA!

"Maine Democratic Socialists of America co-chair #SophieG welcomed more than one hundred members and friends from across the state who met in Portland over the weekend. Alongside nuts and bolts discussions and elections for the group’s organizing committees and working groups, Maine DSA welcomed solidarity greetings from allies and friends, including the #MaineCoalitionForPalestine and the Maine-based #ImmigrantsRights organization #Presente! as well as reports from #MaineYouthPower and the #MaineGunSafetyCoalition. Members also hosted several workshops including a panel on the opportunities and pitfalls of electoral politics, renters organizing in the mid-coast, and the ABCs of being a good organizer.
"Maine DSA accomplished a lot over the last year. We elected #WesPelletier to serve alongside #KateSykes as #PortlandMaine’s two socialist city councilors. Comrades in #BrunswickMaine launched the #BrunswickRentersOrganization and made their voices heard in city council hearings—even if the city councilors 'value the class position of a landlord over the class position of a tenant' as DSAer #PeachCushing put it at the time.
"Members are also launching a new organizing committee in #SouthPortlandMaine as well as building up working groups to #DefendBodilyAutonomy—for #LGTBQ+ and #ReproductiveRights—and to expand our solidarity work with the #labor movement. In another sign of members’ increasing dedication, a full slate of candidates ran to fill more open leadership positions than last year. Yet, despite that good work, everyone recognized the depth of the danger facing working-class Mainers heading into Trump’s second term—not the least of which is the fact that local Republican county committees are openly celebrating Trump’s pardon for Maine’s very own #January6 #insurrectionists.
"Last week #PineAndRoses published a proposal to guide our organizing over the coming year and it was taken up at the conference. The resolution emphasizes the dangers Trump represents and frankly acknowledges that we are facing 'a period of increased attacks on #MarginalizedCommunities, the labor movement, #PublicEducation, and the working class as a whole.' As such, '#socialists must play a #frontline role in defending the #WorkingClass from attacks by the #FarRight' even as 'the political environment in Maine, as of 2025, presents opportunities to resist the Trump administration and make gains at the state and municipal levels.'
"In order to put this analysis to the test, Maine DSA aims to work side by side a wide array of allies to defend #Immigrants, the #TransCommunity, #IndigenousSovereignty, #Unions, public education, and #democracy in general while simultaneously building up the socialist movement’s reach across the state. During the debate, several members suggested the resolution ought to have a more clearly defined international section. One member proposed an amendment (which passed with a clear majority voting in favor) to specify that Maine DSA aims to 'challenge the #hegemony of the Democratic Party.' Thus amended, the resolution passed (nearly) unanimously. Now comes the hard work of trying to put ideas into action.
"As we do, the more #activists and organizers we can muster the better. So if you’re looking for a way to join the fight against Trump, please consider getting in touch with us and joining Maine DSA."

As the late, great Tony Benn once said: “The Labour Party has never been a Socialist Party, although there have always been Socialists in it - a bit like Christians in the Church of England”
Not so
@UKLabour?
