Cincinnati Socialists

The fight against capitalism and the fight against imperialism are one and the same, and so we must reject and fight its structures in the imperial core and its structures abroad.

The majority of the US population is against the Iran War, with 61% disapproving of striking Iran. Despite this, we have not seen any effective strategic disruption of domestic capital by the American public to stop the conflict.
With massive fertilizer shortages due to the Strait of Hormuz closure coupled with a severe El Niño climate pattern on its way, famine is likely to affect large portions of the world in the near future due to low crop yields. Gas prices at home and abroad will continue to rise precipitously and as well as inflation, propagating further crises. Working class people around the globe cannot sit and bear this misery inflicted on us by the capitalist ruling class. We, the working class, must do more.

May Revolutionary Reading List: Finance, crisis, and Wall Street.

“A year ago on May 1st, Ryan Hinton was murdered by a member of CPD, whose identity still hasn’t been officially released by CPD. This was not an accident or a mistake, but a continuation of the state violence that capitalism requires to sustain itself. Down with CPD! Abolish the police!”

The goal of the original May Day (May 1, 1886) was to demand an eight-hour workday for all workers. This workday strike was intended to halt the wheels of production in the country and make those in power listen to the workers.

Over time, the unions that led these actions would be co-opted. There was a concerted effort by the bourgeois state to confine and suppress this movement and the leaders who inspired it. As a result, to this day (130+ years later), the eight-hour workday is still not a requirement nationwide.

The creation of Labor Day — a watered down alternative to May Day — isolated trade unions from their allies in the socialist and revolutionary movements.

Our struggle against capitalism is not isolated; there is immense intersectionality between our individual struggles, and the only solution is collective — not individual — action.

The people who are paying the ultimate price for the impacts of climate change are the poor, working class of the world, not the governments and corporations that propagate climate change in the first place. Under capitalism, there will never exist any meaningful ways to hold the ruling class accountable for their role in the creation of the deteriorating biosphere we find ourselves in.

With all other options exhausted, the working peoples of the world, have but one option: stand and fight. This is not an matter that can be ignored, endured, or left in the hands of a government that absolutely does not have your best interests at heart. Your participation in the preservation of your own future, and that of future generations, is not optional.

Happy birthday to Ryan Ajani Hinton, a loving son, adored brother, cousin, and friend who deserved to spend all his days to the fullest with the ones he loved and who loved him in return.

We hope Ryan’s family, friends, and loved ones can celebrate his life today and be supported by the memories shared.
