Now is the time for world socialist revolution. The time for a Labor Party was 60 years ago. Instead, the leadership of the trade union movement subordinated itself to the Democratic Party and imperialism. This process has been replicated worldwide in the various Social Democratic and Labor parties in support of capitalist exploitation and imperialist war. The entire system is in a state of advanced decay and historical bankruptcy with no possibility of meaningful reform.
This is correct. We are witnessing some of the greatest upsurge in working class militancy in several decades, as well as a veritable renaissance in revolutionary thought. The stuff of great historic movements is available in plenty abundance. It depends on what we do with this moment.

Can’t use the word socialism, the well has been thoroughly poisoned as a buzzword
Hard disagree. We must use the terms “socialism” (and “communism”) openly and directly.
Go for it, dig your heels in.
It’s a needless uphill battle, we’re trying to get people on our side who will never understand what socialism is.
They only “know” that it’s bad.
They have no idea what it is, only that they’ve been told ad nauseum that it’s bad.
It’s a losing battle with ignorant people, better off just going at it with fresh nomenclature to make any kind of progress on it
We can try to educate these people until we’re blue in the face and will not change anything
Freedom fighters
we still generally need ground work and revolutionary momentum
