#50501 must turn outrage against Trump into independent political action. If our demonstrations end with instructions to vote Democrat and wait, we surrender the power we came together to build.
The Democrats answer to the same billionaire class as the Republicans. Tying our movement to them means pressure to soften our demands and protect politicians instead of fighting for systemic change.
Mass demonstrations can break through isolation, build confidence, and teach us to mobilize. But we must escalate beyond protest demonstrations towards strikes, occupations, and walkouts, that disrupt business as usual. That requires independent political leadership to coordinate our struggles nationally and internationally.

We’ll never fully see justice while our education system is beholden to billionaires. That’s why the fight against campus sexual assault is entirely connected with the fight to end the whole profit-driven capitalist system, and the need to replace it with a socialist system that can finally see an end to all forms of oppression. https://www.socialistalternative.org/2026/10/07/the-system-is-guilty-shut-it-down-for-all-jane-does/

We highly recommend this book, and urge readers to join Socialist Alternative to join us in fighting for a new, socialist world

Capitalism cannot provide stable, well-paid work for the majority while endlessly expanding billionaires’ wealth. Instead, it pits workers against one another in a fight over scraps.

Against the backdrop of war and deadly climate events, the cost of living is skyrocketing, and young people around the world are finding it harder and harder to get a halfway decent job.
