Organize!   Leave a comment

http://prolecenter.wordpress.com/organize/

Here are some organizations that are fighting the good fight for liberation of our class. They have some conflicting ideas on strategy and tactics, but that is to be expected. Join one or more of these groups and participate as much as you can. Educate yourself through study and experience in the struggle. Don’t give in to groupthink or debase yourself by surrendering your dignity in sycophancy and hero worship. Encourage your organizations to form coalitions with like-minded groups with the goal of creating a federated, but united Left regional, national and International organization with the explicit goal of Working Class liberation. Inform your leaders and fellow members that they should not disavow any strategy or tactic in the (quite literal) Class War we are engaged in; waging and winning the Class War for the Proletariat must be the primary objective. Finally, always think for yourself and don’t be afraid to speak up.
