Communists of America - Should Communists be "Pragmatic"?
play

12/06/24 • 60 min

A discussion on pragmatism with our comrades in NYC. As Trotsky put it, “pragmatism . . . is the greatest curse of American thought. You must inoculate younger comrades against its infection.” This philosophy can creep into our work if we do not consciously fight it with Marxist theory.

Communists of America - Racism, Police Violence, and the Socialist Revolution
play

06/01/20 • 25 min

The cold-blooded murder of George Floyd by Minneapolis police is yet another horrific act of racist violence against an unarmed black man in broad daylight. This has yet again sparked protests across the country, showing that people are fed up with the systemic racism of the capitalist system.

When the great revolutionary martyr Malcolm X said, “You can’t have capitalism without racism,” he summed up a profound truth about the world we live in. This racist brutality is hardwired into the capitalist system. Antonio Balmer (Socialist Revolution editor) speaks on racism, police violence, and the need for revolution.

The racist murder of George Floyd by the Minneapolis police has ignited a movement of enormous proportions, unleashing decades of accumulated discontent, and even reaching insurrectionary levels in many cities. As the conditions for revolution rapidly mature in the US, there is an urgent need for the movement to grapple with some serious questions: What role do police play under capitalism? What will it take to abolish this institution? Socialist Revolution editor John Peterson provides a socialist perspective.

The starting point for all of our activities is political clarity. Only by building in quality will we succeed in building in quantity. But have we fully grasped all that this entails? Antonio Balmer leads off a discussion to shed fresh light on a familiar task we are all engaged in—the task of becoming Marxists.

This leadoff was recorded at the 2023 National Congress of what was formerly Socialist Revolution. In July 2024, we will found the Revolutionary Communists of America. If you are a genuine communist and want to take part in this historic event, join the party: https://communistusa.org/join.
