All summer, we essentially asked one question: how do we transform society in favor of the needs of the working class? Our answer has been straightforward…through organization. We know clearly that when we organize, we win. We launched this series conscious that the system is at an unprecedented breaking point. Capitalism’s dead-end logic is on full display, but so is the resurgence of working-class struggle.
We learned that we have everything we need to build a new and socialist world. We have the productive capacity, the resources, the science, and more. What’s been missing is the collective power to put our developments to work for all of us, instead of for the profit of a few. Tanya made it clear for us, socialism is not a distant dream but an immediate possibility. The only question that remains is how will we organize to bring about that possibility?

Remember that the socialist movement in America has always been funded by what was considered at the time as the mega wealthy. But behind closed doors the socialists themselves will tell you that the biggest threat blocking the spread of their ideology is the middle class. The America working class confounds and triggers the socialist elites more than any other group.

Socialists are powerless simply because they are afraid to use the word "communism". Marx was a communist not a socialist. Hitler was a socialist (in name only). Hitler was not afraid to use the word “socialism” and this is why he was defeated by Stalin. Socialists are just too spineless and politically correct to be relevant. In China, “communism” is an empty word and, as such, it is enough to allow China to rule the world. Words matter whatever their definitions.
