Only people power can transform society: Lessons from the Minnesota Socialism Summit - Liberation News
@ComradeSerena Unfortunately, I didn’t.
@majorlinux Aw, that's too bad. I'm curious to know exactly how they intend to build the socialist alternative. I read another article on this site and it didn't clarify that either.
In the Revolutionary Communists of America, our alternative-in-progress consists of a party of cadres, people well versed in theory, history, and organising. In the next revolutionary situation, people will spontaneously organise themselves into local assemblies, like the neighborhood committees in Minneapolis in January. If we build our alternative fast enough, then in the next revolutionary situation, there will be huge numbers of communists going to all of these assemblies and showing people the way forward. This is how the Bolsheviks guided the people of Russia to build the world's first socialist regime.
I wonder if this is what the PSL is doing, too. If it's not, I wonder what their plan is. They don't seem to have a very detailed one. Or at least they aren't presenting one, yet.
@majorlinux Good stuff! Did you attend this summit? What way forward did they outline? It isn't clear to me from their website.
