Socialist Party of America - Split of the Left Wing

[@robotporkchop4784]

Alternative title: Left-wing infighting in a nutshell

[@jcrios1917]

Washington Post Article published in early 2016: Harvard University survey, which polled young adults between ages 18-29, found that 51% of respondents do Not support Capitalism. Just 42% said they support it. 33% said they support Socialism as an Alternative. We've got a lot of Work to do!

[@epicbenstudios]

JC Rios Nice profile picture.

[@ComradeHellas]

the left is rising

[@logopolisjuly1325]

If you win power you will regret it

[@danielalvarez-galan3702]

​@@logopolisjuly1325 You can get socialism via ballot. This was reiterated for the final time 9/11/1973 Tragic Events in Chile, A lesson for Revolutionaries across the world. www.marxists.org/history/erol/albania/chile.html

But we've come so far. My mother grew up under McCarthyism, and now I can boldly fly that red flag ✌️

[@MrMcGale]

Paris Commune Free Territory of Ukraine Second Spanish Republic Revolutionary Catalonia. There's a list of the communist societies that ever existed. None of these crushed freedom or killed, it's the opposite. None of them had re-education or death penalty, none of them supported war.

[@themasses3953]

you forgot the liberated territory of Chiapas in Mexico and the Democratic Federation of Syria

[@PhoenixArabium]

Yugoslavia too

[@n.o.2769]

The USSR too

[@ComradeHellas]

Only in Ukraine and Catalonia the anarchists survived. Thankfully you were wiped out from the Soviet Union. Faithful to Lenin's-Stalin's Third International, proletariats of the world unite!

[@DialecticalMaterialismRocks]

the soviet union wasn't communist

[@zachbocchino5501]

Is anyone here a Socialist

[@jcrios1917]

Zachary JBo . Ayyy big ups from New York!

[@zachbocchino5501]

I am From New York as well my comrade.

[@jcrios1917]

Zachary JBo. Solidarity my brotha, let us fight for a United American Left against Fascism. #FuckTrump

[@bigbill4426]

yup

[@dasovietunion5848]

Zachary JBo I am a democratic socialist

[@comandantegorrion7271]

Jack Reed? What is this, Kaiserreich?

This is the irl jack reed

XDDDDD

Never mention that stupid fucking mod AGAIN. RUINED HISTORY FUCK IT

Ironically, this looks exactly like a Libertarian Party convention! :)

[@grahamsmith5396]

Lololololololol

[@californiaandwashington1377]

There that chaotic

[@ParDiss-e4i]

Weber was inspired by Marx too

[@Esoteric0714]

I don't know much about Socialism (I was born just before the end of the cold war). But the more I hear about it from conservatives, the more interesting it seems. Is there somewhere online I can read Marx and Lenin's works?

[@philunruhe1789]

Esoteric0714 Yes. Search them up.

[@philunruhe1789]

Esoteric0714 Though, I would keep away from Lenin. Maybe Luxemburg or Kropotkin would be better.

[@james192599]

Go straight to Marx. Lenin is a bit of a distortion.

[@Moosemoose1]

Marxists.org has a ton of excellent writings and publications from famous marxist writers and revolutionaries including Marx and Engels themselves for free

[@tylertone2776]

Yes BenBernake.com or, alternatively PaulKrugman.org

[@SunflowerSocialist]

Very historically inaccurate but very entertaining

[@AndrewRayGorman]

To be fair, there are like no movies about the Socialist Party of America.

[@redenvironmentalist]

Could you imagine talking like this in the current DSA? Would never happen.

[@southernman4186]

Where is this from?

[@rypoelk997]

I didn't realize Mr. Feeny was active in the Socialist Party

[@TemujinMSM]

What movie is this from?

[@Mourtzouphlos240]

TemujinMSM It's called Reds. It's all about the life of Jack Reid who was a communist writer who got caught up in the chaos of the worldwide far Left movements between the turn of the century and his death in the 20s.

[@tomasbermea]

@hamsterbass123 it's called "reds" by warren beaty. the main character is john reed, author of the socialist magazine "the masses" and "10 days that shook the world" a book chronicling the 1917 Russian revolution. he died of typhus in moscow i think, and is the only american buried in the kremlin.

[@historicallyaccurate7808]

What movie is this

[@eugenpopovici5028]

How would someone that is interested in joining the American Socialist Party be able to join, and volunteer? Thanks in advance.

[@themasses3953]

id say dont organize for the party, the american left is not organized enough to present itself in that way. id say work on spreading class consciousness to the workers near you until a truly revolutionary party arises. good luck comrade

[@tylertone2776]

Im baffled somebody could watch this clip and immediately go "this seems like a well-organized disciplined bunch, where do I sign up?" Regardless, just please leave the democratic party's voting rolls and deregister from the primary election process as FAST AS POSSIBLE PLEASE! And don't forget to take your fellow Bernie militia men with you, you don't have to go home but you can't stay here. Thank you.

[@tylertone2776]

@@themasses3953 Why not instead aid yourself and your working class (are you sure you aren't of the middle class background, you guys always turn out to be) friends out of quasi-poverty conditions? The real American working class, it turns out, are much more receptive and supportive of that aim. Maybe help them fight to stop the outlawing of the health care plan they have negotiated, especially after fighting long and hard over decades to maximize coverage for their families?

[@Nightwingfire]

long live the true revolution.

[@Inivican]

6:30 gonna learn to play the internationale on an organ

[@itssswyatt]

Did you ever learn

[@Ditmike2235]

What shows is this from?

[@itssswyatt]

Reds, 1981

[@sirmakhno6801]

Some De Leonist here ?

[@politicalleftche5708]

Bernie Sanders will make our dreams a reality.

[@GustavoRodriguez-qr5po]

I don't think so Bernie has very little chance of winning so the only thing to do is revolution

[@Varkhal218]

Political Left CHE He's a dirty socdem.

[@epicbenstudios]

Nice liberalism, kid.

[@ComradeHellas]

Sanders is not a social democrat, he is a democratic socialist, you can clearly see his Marxist beliefs in his speeches. #Sanders2020

[@Varkhal218]

Lord Hellas Wrong. He only uses the term to gain attraction. Democratic socialism means obtaining the workers control over the means of production peacefully(through reforms, or ballot etc.). He doesn't want that. From his speaches given by him while he was running for the position of Candidate of the Democratic Party, one can clearly see he is proposing welfare capitalism, not socialism. Maybe back in the day he held more radical stances. But we live in the present. Nostalgia is alright, but not at the expense of future plans. Do not let yourself be fooled by centrist rethoric.

"We are socialists, we are enemies of today's capitalistic economic system for the exploitation of the economically weak, with its unfair salaries, with its unseemly evaluation of a human being according to wealth and property instead of responsibility and performance, and we are all determined to destroy this system under all conditions" A.Hitler 1 May 1927

[@Varkhal218]

GGCM39 That is actually a Strasser quote. Stop spreading misinformation. Either way, nazis were not socialist. They simply used cheap populism and useless rethoric. The term "privatisation" was used for the first time in history to refer to nazi economic policies.

[@ufodeath]

Even IF we assume hitler said that (Which he didn't, and certainly would not have meant it IF he did), what in the hell is wrong with the meaning of that quote?

[@Baibakov88]

When you get all your knowledge about the Nazis from Mises Institute mailers and PDFs.

[@ronalddino6370]

Hitler was Anticommunist
