 Progressive Labor Party on Race & Racism

OUR FIGHT

 

Progressive Labor Party (PLP) fights to destroy capitalism and the dictatorship of the capitalist class. We organize workers, soldiers and youth into a revolutionary movement for communism.

Only the dictatorship of the working class — communism — can provide a lasting solution to the disaster that is today’s world for billions of people. This cannot be done through electoral politics, but requires a revolutionary movement and a mass Red Army led by PLP.

Worldwide capitalism, in its relentless drive for profit, inevitably leads to war, fascism, poverty, disease, starvation and environmental destruction. The capitalist class, through its state power — governments, armies, police, schools and culture —  maintains a dictatorship over the world’s workers. The capitalist dictatorship supports, and is supported by, the anti-working-class ideologies of racism, sexism, nationalism, individualism and religion.

While the bosses and their mouthpieces claim “communism is dead,” capitalism is the real failure for billions worldwide. Capitalism returned to Russia and China because socialism retained many aspects of the profit system, like wages and privileges. Russia and China did not establish communism.

Communism means working collectively to build a worker-run society. We will abolish work for wages, money and profits. Everyone will share in society’s benefits and burdens. 

Communism means abolishing racism and the concept of “race.” Capitalism uses racism to super-exploit black, Latino, Asian and indigenous workers, and to divide the entire working class.

Communism means abolishing the special oppression of women — sexism — and divisive gender roles created by the class society.

Communism means abolishing nations and nationalism. One international working class, one world, one Party.

Communism means that the minds of millions of workers must become free from religion’s false promises, unscientific thinking and poisonous ideology. Communism will triumph when the masses of workers can use the science of dialectical materialism to understand, analyze and change the world to meet their needs and aspirations.

  Communism means the Party leads every aspect of society. For this to work, millions of workers — eventually everyone — must become communist organizers. Join Us!

Turn Antiracist Rebellion into Class War

Los Angeles, CA — Weeks after the racist NYPD cops choked Eric Garner to death, their equally racist west coast buddies the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) beat to death Latin worker Omar Abrego, and killed 25-year-old black youth Ezell Ford here. Abrego was a 37-year-old shipping worker for OnTrac. Hundreds have protested and marched every day in front of the police station where cops shot Ezell Ford. Ezell’s brother said he was “shot in the back and murdered like an animal!” The cops claimed he made “suspicious” movements.
For decades, the U.S. ruling class has intensified it’s attack on mostly black and Latin youth with the so-called “War on Drugs”, incarcerating over two million workers, mainly black and Latin, leading to the largest prison population in the world! That population doubled under President Clinton and President Obama has deported over 2 million of our undocumented brothers and sisters, more than all presidents in the U.S. for the last 100 years combined! 
From our immigrant brothers and sisters being held in concentration camps, to our black youth targeted by the police, these racist attacks are part of a much larger attack on the entire working class!
Workers of the World Unite 
We need more rebellions because they are not just against the racist police murders.  The justified anger beneath these protests is also directed at the racist unemployment, poor quality of education, and health care that black, Latin and all workers face. Meanwhile, trillions of profits that our class produced are spent on oil wars in the Middle East!
Rebellions alone are not enough.  The root cause of this oppression and murder is an international capitalist system that needs racism to divide our class and keep us separated by terrorizing some with assassinations on the streets and others with deportations in order to maximize their profits. Remember, the same U.S.-made weapons that the cops carry are the same that the Israeli troops carry to murder our Arab and Muslim brothers and sisters in Gaza.
We need to turn antiracist rebellions of mostly black youth into breeding grounds for communist revolutionaries. This could inspire the whole working class into fighting for a communist future: without money, profits or any need for racism, nationalism, sexism or imperialist world wars.
Join PLP as we unite with all workers oppressed by capitalism, and fight for a new system that really works for the working class: communism!
Start by joining us as we march in solidarity with the families of Ezell Ford and Omar Abrego on September 13 at 7 pm on 65th and Broadway in Los Angeles, CA.
