Socialist Workers Party Alliance
An independent socialist and workers’ rights community.
This community represents my own vision of what a Socialist Workers Party should be. It stands in firm opposition to both the Democratic and Republican parties, which serve the capitalist system while offering the working class little more than temporary concessions.
Real liberation will require workers to organize, challenge exploitation, and build a system based on dignity, equality, and democratic control.
I agree with some positions expressed by the U.S. Socialist Workers Party, especially on workers’ rights, unions, labor struggles, and class politics. I also value some of The Militant’s labor coverage. That does not mean I support every position held by the party or publication, including their views on Israel, Palestine, or other political issues.
This is an independent Lemmy community, not an official branch, affiliate, or representative of the U.S. Socialist Workers Party.

It does matter though, it's not a strict thing obviously, but it matters that people of all colors see people of all colors in positions of fame and power. Antiracism is NOT race blindness, it's race acceptance -- understanding that we all have different colors and appearances, and not just race obviously other factors too -- and as highly visual creatures it matters that we see that represented throughout all walks of life. Ultimately in the long term, maybe yes, we should discard race as a concept as it has no basis in biology, but in the short and medium term, the myth of race has acquired powerful real world characteristics that do matter for now and the forseeable future.
