Dec. 2018 Soc. Action 1By THE EDITORS
Revolutionary greetings and well wishes for 2019! In 2018, we saw a
deepening economic and environmental crisis overtake working people
worldwide, together with a resurgence of racist, anti-immigrant, and
ultra-right activity. And yet, workers around the globe from China to
Latin America to the United States demonstrated their ability to stand
up against the mounting attacks. The yellow vests in France and teachers
in the United States have shown the potential of mass action taken
independently of bureaucrats and bourgeois politicians.
These struggles require a mass-based and deeply rooted revolutionary
socialist organization to organize and lead the fightback, and to
finally overturn the system. More and more people are embracing
socialist ideas as they realize that the capitalist system—in which all
social benefits are sacrificed in favor of bigger profits for the
wealthy corporations—is leading inexorably to a dead end for working
people and all humanity.
Over the past year, Socialist Action has seen new growth while improving
our organizational capacity. Our comrades have participated in a wide
range of political activities—for example, in the movement to combat
climate change, on behalf of political prisoners like Mumia Abu-Jamal,
in the women’s movement, and in support of union organizing by hotel
workers.
Recently, Socialist Action sent a delegation to the Mexican border to
help in solidarity actions for the migrant caravan and to report back
for Socialist Action newspaper. Some months earlier, our Connecticut
members and supporters successfully collected nearly 11,000 signatures
to put antiwar Iraq veteran and socialist Fred Linck on the U.S.
Senatorial ballot in Connecticut; Linck was later undemocratically
denied ballot status by state officials.
Simultaneously, we have deepened our participation in the campaign to
build an international party along revolutionary Leninist lines,
collaborating in the Platform for a Revolutionary International with our
comrades abroad. Together with our European co-thinkers, Socialist
Action delegates spoke on behalf of the Platform at the 17th World
Congress of the Fourth International.
In 2019, Socialist Action will continue to cover, and participate in,
the struggles of working people and the oppressed while we grow as an
organization. But, of course, this work requires resources. We are
asking you, the readers and supporters of this website, to contribute to
our efforts. Every dollar we raise is essential.
