Our contingents across the country in today's inauguration day protests. To fight Trump and build a workers party: dump the liberals! Labor/Black/Latino power must rule America! workersvanguard.org/1183/us-tasks

Only the working class can save LA! We're *not* all in this together–the working class should not pay to rebuild LA for the rich, but rebuild it for the working people–and make the bosses pay for it! How to make it happen: workersvanguard.org/2025-la-fires

Only the working class can save LA from capitalist disaster. Workers should build committees in the unions to fight for workers control of safety, evacuations, and housing! iclfi.org/pubs/wv/2025...

Down with the TikTok ban! This sinister attack on our rights sets a dangerous precedent as US rulers prepare more attacks on working people worldwide. To defend democratic rights, dump the liberals attacking them! Labor, left must fight ban & coming attacks on workers/oppressed!

These bootlicking bureaucrats backed Biden banning rail strike, helped him bribe workers into submission, pulled pickets when he hit Gaza. To defend our unions & turn tide for labor, they have to be replaced with class-struggle leadership! workersvanguard.org/1183/us-tasks bsky.app/profile/aflc...

Either California Attorney General Bonta opens all police archives or he is an obstacle to justice for the victims of police brutality. Demand action to show the world that lying capitalist politicians are the enemy! Justice for Jalani Lovett! Contact us to get involved. t.co/zBuk9fP1GJ

Good riddance to Jimmy "Ethnic Purity" Carter, class enemy of workers/oppressed! Carter was a rich, pompous, puritanical moralist who funded Mujahedin murderers against the Red Army, backed the butcher Shah of Iran, oversaw de-industrialization & the killing of the Greensboro 5.

Join us Jan. 25-26, 2025 for the 35th Holiday Appeal for Class-War Prisoners! For more information, check out partisandefense.org

The left is currently irrelevant and disoriented. Revolutionaries must break through the impasse and find ways to advance workers’ interests. For a real plan to build a revolutionary nucleus in this reactionary period, check out: iclfi.org/pubs/wv/1183...

If it had been pursued to establish union dominance over Boeing, the strike could have won decisively and improved the position of all workers. But even now, all is not lost. It’s crucial to take stock in order to put the IAM on the right track. iclfi.org/pubs/wv/1183...

The left’s association with liberals has opened a gulf between it & workers. The left is seen as irrelevant or liberal sellouts. The left’s central task in the coming period is overcoming this divide to be able to guide upcoming struggles. workersvanguard.org/1183/us-tasks

While rejecting tactic of individual terror, Trotsky vigorously demanded that Grynszpan be freed from the clutches of the bourgeois state. Similar considerations guide our attitude to Luigi Mangione, who is accused of striking down a capitalist parasite. iclfi.org/pubs/wv/1183...

If leftists continue to clutching in vain to the coattails of liberals, they will continue alienating workers and be irrelevant. The greatest danger in the coming period is for the left to wait in expectation for the liberals to lead the “resistance.” iclfi.org/pubs/wv/1183...

Emily Turnbull ran for ILWU Local 10 president in early November. Her platform included immediate steps to strengthen the local, expanding on her successful run for executive board. She got nearly 20 percent of the 588 votes cast. Read more here: iclfi.org/pubs/wv/1183...

We were around Puget Sound for the duration of the IAM strike. Thru a series of political struggles, we encouraged the founding & activity of a strike committee, IAM 751 Mobilize! Read more on how we fought to escalate the Boeing strike in the latest WV: iclfi.org/pubs/wv/1183...

It’s the gift that keeps on giving. Subscribe to Workers Vanguard today! iclfi.org/pubs/wv/subs...

If this is what passes for a polemic, it’s pathetic. As pathetic as “revolutionaries” crying over the parasite Thompson’s wife & kids & vilifying Luigi & anybody who defends him! Read our article & judge for yourself who the real opportunists are: iclfi.org/pubs/wv/1183...

A fight to break the US alliance is necessary to defend even most basic democratic rights & other gains won thru past struggles. The urgent task for Korean socialists is to bring this central question to the fore: which side are you on, the US or workers? iclfi.org/pubs/wv/1183...

The ILA needs to prepare to strike on January 15! The single most important step toward that end is to reject the bureaucracy’s alliance with Trump and fight to end the segregated locals and craft divisions at the ports, which only undercut union struggle. iclfi.org/pubs/wv/1183...

Workers must oppose any Zionist or imperialist attacks and encroachments in Syria! One thing is certain: the fall of hated Assad regime and. establishment of a new one made up of “reformed” Islamists promises nothing good for the oppressed in the region.  iclfi.org/pubs/wv/1183...

To give the union a strong foundation, Amazon workers must replace O'Brien's losing strategy with one based on solidarity in struggle with workers and oppressed nationally and internationally against the common enemy—the ruling class. A strategy to win: iclfi.org/pubs/wv/2024...

Donald Trump was re-elected president, and everyone is asking: What now? To determine the tasks of socialists in this new period, we must understand how we got here and what the election represents. iclfi.org/pubs/wv/1183...

While self-proclaimed “revolutionaries” offer words of understanding, they refuse to defend Luigi. The capitalists prepare to make an example of him and take measures that threaten us all. Labor and the left must demand Mangione’s release. Free Luigi! iclfi.org/pubs/wv/1183...

NEW WV! - Where is the US going? - Free Luigi! - How we fought to escalate Boeing strike - Uhuru 3 sentenced on bogus charges - ILWU Local 10 presidential election: class-struggle militant gets 20 percent PLUS: ILA, ILWU, IBEW, IAM, South Korea & more! workersvanguard.org/1183

Trump’s “border czar” says mass deportations coming to Chicago first. Labor must be ready to fight—starting by breaking w/ libs like Brandon Johnson, who impede migrant defense. No deportations—jobs, housing for all! Let them stay, make bosses pay! workersvanguard.org/1181/migrant-chi

Libs & right reignite racial polarization after Penny verdict. It wasn't a racist attack but self-defense that ended in tragedy. Neely didnt deserve to die. Denying right to self-defense opens black people to racist attack & pushes whites to reaction. iclfi.org/pubs/wv/1179...

NYC: All out December 10 at Bronx criminal court for united front protest in solidarity with family of Eric Duprey, killed by NYPD. Justice for Eric Duprey! Jail "Cooler Killer" Cop Duran! Open All Police Archives! See all endorsers, additional info here: iclfi.org/usa/events/2...

The fight to save schools and Chicago goes beyond single contract fight. But teachers can be catalyst for wider struggle, and strengthen their hand against CPS. It’s time to wage a class independent fight against Democrats, who are running Chicago into the ground! iclfi.org/slus/2024-ctu

La segunda elecciĂłn de Trump marca la muerte del liberalismo como ideologĂ­a dominante del imperialismo occidental. Ya le cae al populismo derechista la tarea imposible de salvar el imperialismo estadounidense en su decadencia. ÂżY ahora? 1/2

The next step for Machinists: pushing for leadership elections—to elect candidates who reject perks & privileges of union posts & want to strengthen IAM 751. Sweep away Holden & the bureaucrats, turn IAM into a fighting battalion for workers everywhere! workersvanguard.org/2024-boeing5...

Having pushed trans issues in the most stupid and tokenistic way possible, the Dems are now abandoning trans people in the face of backlash. Now it's open season against trans people and Dems aren't lifting a finger. #TransDayOfRemembrance #ProtectTransKids #SarahMcBride

The longer @ctulocal1.bsky.social clings to Mayor Brandon Johnson, the longer its struggles will be held back. It’s time to take the bull by the horns and wage a union-based fight independent of and in opposition to the Democrats, who have run the city into the ground! iclfi.org/pubs/slus/20...

Now available on our YouTube channel: Oct 31 Spartacist forum in Everett, “Which Way Forward for the IAM 751 Strike and Workers in the Elections?” Check it out here: youtu.be/_XH0SAajQK4?...

A leadership committed to transforming IAM 751 into a fighting force for the interests of the working class would oppose all the bosses’ divide & rule schemes—and put forward a way for the union to defend the most vulnerable & break down those divisions. workersvanguard.org/2024-boeing5/divide-rule

The IAM can strengthen itself by laying claim to independent safety & quality enforcement on the job & acting to shut down assembly on the spot. Joint union-company safety teams, govt won’t save us from Boeing—but independent working class action can! iclfi.org/pubs/wv/2024...

Holden strangled IAM strike. Now he talks about working to make Boeing successful. To turn things around, Machinists must reject this and fight for their class interests against the bosses! Read How to Put the Machinists On Top here: workersvanguard.org/2024-boeing5...
