Really good issue of the Weekly Worker, specially the articles on the fight for a programatically united mass party in Ireland and the US.

Well it's not just about a majority, is it? Capitalists rule as a minority, that's part of the deal. How do you plan to disarm the state? Without an answer to that question, there is *no* movement large enough

*We will win when a democratic socialist movement builds a large enough majoritarian coalition to democratize the state, socialize production, and ensure basic needs as social rights.

I think it’s bad to be a socialist elected and lie to people about how Obama ‘delivered’. How is this controversial. Are we in the business of attempting to change peoples’ worldview and consciousness or not
daniel 🐌@escargotpro_Jul 26
Some ppl mad that Zohran spoke warmly of Obama. The collective left from Obama haters to Obama critical to Obama likers who have big issues with some of his specific policies/decisions has spent 10 years trying to address this. People still intensely love Obama. You lost, move on

A major split is shaking the Party for Socialism and Liberation. After years in the PSL leadership, Walter Smolarek has resigned and published a devastating tell-all letter alleging internal authoritarianism, sabotage of local organizing efforts, and even the development of an AI-powered system to monitor members. More than an exposé, his letter argues the PSL's entire political model has reached a dead end. The question Gigi G. poses is: can they break the cycle of splits, or are they destined to forever be just another microparty? READ: geesemag.com/articles/psls-t…

A dramatic resignation letter from one of the PSL's top leaders accuses the organization of secrecy, factionalism, and bureaucratic decay. The controversy has reignited questions about the future of...

Genuinely why am I supposed to care about MPs doing a manual trade beforehand? It doesn’t matter. It’s bad if they didn’t work outside of politics beforehand, but why manual? That’s just not where the working class is anymore
troovus@troovusMay 12
In 1906, 29 Labour MPs were elected. Among them were: 2 engineers 3 miners 2 shipwrights 1 shoemaker 1 cooper 2 textile workers 2 gas workers 2 railwaymen 3 compositors 1 steel smelter 1 journalist 1 iron moulder What proportion of Labour MPs today are from manual trades? 1/2

I had to deal with Webbe in the standing orders room at YP conference. I don’t mean this in an uncomradely or mean way but, to be bluntly honest, I was struck by her lack of competence and basic understanding - especially for a former MP. So this is no surprise to me.

Claudia Webbe's take on the debate over Your Party's membership criteria. morningstaronline.co.uk/arti…

Your Party: what kind of socialist party does the British working class actually need in 2026?

THERE is a theoretical question at the heart of Your Party’s April 2026 decision on membership eligibility, and it deserves a serious answer — not a bureaucratic one.The question is this: what kind...

Our statement on the @thisisyourparty expulsions
Over 20 local socialists attending the Greater Manchester Left Caucus open meeting on April 11th agreed the following: Jam the ban! The leadership of Your Party can take any ban on socialists, and stick it. This is an illegitimate move which contradicts conference. Defy the ban! We will continue to work, together, on our campaigns and ignore the bans. Support the Sheffield convention. We will attend the YP Connections convention on Saturday 6 June in Sheffield and urge other comrades to do likewise. Note: the Sheffield meeting is open to all with no restrictions

Good take, honestly. This was evident on the campaign trail: members already active in proto-branches were massively supportive of GL overall. But this sentiment obviously wasn't shared across the wider membership, and TM's push to boost turnout paid off as a result.
Rivkah Brown@rivkahbrownFeb 26
My instant analysis of @thisisyourparty's CEC results: the triumphant @jeremycorbyn camp needs the @zarahsultana camp more than it thinks. There's no public profile without Corbyn, but no national movement without the grassroots, of which Sultana has become the voice.

Our statement on the CEC elections 👇 grassrootsleft.org/cec-elect…
Grassroots Left congratulates all those elected in the Your Party leadership elections, and extends our thanks to every member who voted, organised and campaigned for us. Having won collective leadership at the founding conference, we are delighted that eight women have been elected to the CEC who support our programme for Maximum Member Democracy. A significant number of members have signalled their desire for a democratic, accountable and transparent party. We will now be in the room and ensure your voice is heard. Our party is strongest when members have real power: over policy, finances, selections, and decision-making - through transparent, accountable structures. All Grassroots Left members will push for this on the CEC. We will push to make sure the branches are recognised immediately, fully supported and that members are put at the heart of the party. Your Party must now work together to become a party of and for the whole left - with no more witch-hunts or stitch-ups. All tho
