Reacting to the news that Joe Biden was withdrawing from the presidential race, socialist presidential candidate Claudia De la Cruz remarked, “Biden is a life-long servant of the corporate elite and is responsible for genocide in Gaza. We are happy to see him go, but remain just as committed to fighting against the ruling class agenda of the Democratic Party no matter who they nominate as their candidate. Kamala Harris has spent her career in service of mass incarceration, Wall Street and the war machine. She is no alternative – the real alternative is to abandon the Democrats and vote socialist!

It is crucial that all people of conscience who are against empire, oligarchy and genocide come together to overcome the anti-democratic ballot access barriers created by the corporate duopoly. The two parties of Empire have conspired to create state-by-state restrictions for independent parties, and have already announced an “army of lawyers” to use technicalities to keep people-powered competition off of the ballot.

Any sound “industrial policy” must rest on reorienting the use of gigantic resources for wars and the military-industrial complex towards socially useful investments. Taking over the largest 100 companies is an initial emergency measure to perform a rapid course correction. It is a way for the working class to take the offensive by seizing key chokepoints in investment, production and distribution in order to introduce democratic control of the economy.
Unpacking Biden’s Lies About the Student Encampments for Gaza
Totaling only four minutes, it was truly remarkable how many lies and distortions Joe Biden was able to pack into his White House speech attacking student protesters this morning. Insisting that “we are not an authoritarian nation where we silence people or squash dissent”, Biden went on to defend the actions of police who have been doing exactly that – because, in his words, “order must prevail”.

Earth Day 2024 comes amidst a climate emergency for our planet. Already, we are dealing with more frequent wildfires, droughts, storms and other extreme weather events. The main obstacle standing in the way of addressing climate change is private profit, and the system that values quarterly revenue over the survival of human civilization. The fight to save the planet is a fight against capitalism.

Politicians in Austin are trying to turn Texas into a racist police state with the new SB 4 anti-immigrant law.

All across California, rising utility bills are devastating working families struggling to afford basic necessities.

For the last two days, a historic trial has played out in the International Court of Justice. Israel has been accused of genocide by the government of South Africa.

Our foreign policy would be solidarity, not domination and aggression
In an attempt to maintain domination in the Middle East, the Biden administration has moved closer to widen the U.S.-Israeli genocidal aggression against the Palestinian people of Gaza, to include Lebanon, Yemen and Iraq.
But what about Trump? Answering the “lesser of two evils” argument
Tens of millions of people across the country are deeply concerned about the prospect that Donald Trump will return to the White House. Faced with this profoundly troubling possibility, many feel like they have no choice but to view the election purely as a referendum on whether or not Trump comes back into power, regardless of who his opponent is. But for people who want to defeat the racist, pro-corporate, anti-women, war-mongering and planet killing politics that Trump represents, this would be a big mistake.
