Toni Jones in 2024 carrying a Pan-African Flag | Src: Fight Back! News NEW ORLEANS, La. — Earlier this morning, on March 30, 2026, New Orleans-based political activist and chairwoman of the New Orleans Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression (NOAARPR), Toni Jones, was arrested for exercising her First Amendment rights to free speech and to petition the government at a meeting of the New Orleans City Council’s Criminal Justice Committee. NOAARPR is the New Orleans affiliate of the National Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression, a national organization fighting against police crimes and police brutality and for community control over policing across the United States. They are currently involved in a protracted campaign concerning the murder of Jace Lee Scott by Andrew Gant, the son of New Orleans police officer Victor Gant. The elder Gant covered up his son’s murder through tampering with evidence and through various protocol failures on the part of the NOPD and the...

  Question 11: What separates a change in policy from a change in power? Scientific socialists are deeply involved in organizing for policy changes within the current exploitative framework while still fundamentally pursuing revolutionary change. We do this because, while revolutionary change is important, the process of building up the capacities of a scientifically socialist organization and popular power necessitates that the masses of the people have had their independence, creativity, and consciousness elevated in such a way that revolution becomes feasible. There are conditions for revolution and they must be met in order for the contradiction between the masses and the imperialists to be fully and radically transformed.  To begin, we ask again what separates the change in policy from the ultimate restructuring of power. Fundamentally, a change in policy is a change in the conditions under which socialists organize and the people live; however, the underlying structures ...

At the time of writing, the third round of “No Kings” protests is upon us. For context, No Kings is an ongoing series of protests organized by Indivisible and the 50501 movement to protest the growing authoritarianism and flagrant violations of civil and human rights committed every day by the second administration of President Donald Trump. It has been estimated that the protests have drawn between 4 and 6 million people, or roughly 1.5% of the total American population. These events are typically accompanied by music, speeches, marches, and chants to signify the wide opposition to the anti-human and elite-first policies of the Trump administration and the ruling class at large. One of the more notable details about the No Kings protests is the wide strata of organizations in attendance. From Democratic Party loyalists to anarchists, through communists and beyond, every ideology even marginally to the left of fascism has shown some participation in these events. However, as much as th...

  Part I: Foundations Question 1: What does it mean to say that socialism is a science? What we mean when we say that socialism is a science is fundamentally the same as when one refers to biology, chemistry, or anthropology. We mean that the processes for developing socialism are rigorous, tested, and based in observation, experiment, and prediction of material reality. We say that the process of realizing socialism in the world is a practice that follows the scientific method wherein practices and material are observed, predictions are made, practical experiments are conducted, and the results of those experiments are analyzed to continue the cycle over again. To give an abstract example, say that there exist some objects $A$ and $B$ and that the success of $A$ is contingent upon the defeat of $B$— we would call this a “zero-sum game” or alternatively say that there is a contradiction between $A$ and $B$. We can denote this contradiction $\frac{A}{B}$ (pronounced: “A over B...

Who am I — a question asked in poor faith nearing as often as the previously articulated “What does victory look like?” It is a question that frequently loses its own aims when being asked. What does a person gain from being asked who they are; what does a person gain from pondering on themself? As communists, as progressives, as the masses of the people, and as subjects of history itself, what does it mean to pontificate on the nature of our own selves as social beings?  If one were to pose this question to one thousand differing people, they would promptly receive one thousand differing answers. All answers shrouded in class and ironically mixed and blended by the various identities on which they are being interrogated.  PART I — THE LIES OF LIBERAL IDEALISM There is an idealist and metaphysical view of identity that seems to compress the nature of the subjects of history into a narrow prism. The liberal idea is that identities are essential features of the mind and body—...

As this piece is being written on March 1st, 2026, the United States of America and the Zionist entity known as the State of Israel have launched an unprovoked attack against the Islamic Republic of Iran and murdered and martyred not only their head of state, Ali Khamenei, but over 153 innocent people— including children. This is but another example of the long tentacles of American capital attempting to exert their vile and violent influence against a nation trying to protect its own interests and the interests of their people from the interests of the monopoly capitalists that wish to bleed oil and profits out of said people.
