Post Election PLP in Worcester Fights Fascism

WORCESTER, MA—After fascist Donald Trump was elected president, the Progressive Labor Party (PLP) joined with others to rally against racism and oppression. PLP passed out flyers calling for communism as the solution to the racist, impoverishing, and fascist profit system. People were eager to read CHALLENGE, some for the first time.  
Five hundred people rallied and marched in the streets of Worcester. Previously in 2015, the City government had maliciously prosecuted Black Lives Matter protesters for blocking the streets of Worcester. This time, faced with many more anti-fascist protesters, the City backed down and there were no arrests.
We followed our actions in the streets with a showing of the anti racist documentary “Profiled” at a youth group.  We discussed how  capitalism is the root cause of racism, profiling, and improverishment. It’s great to protest against Trump, but we should all commit to a lifetime of struggle for a better world. That’s communism where racism and sexism are illegal and the working class runs all aspects of society.
Fighting Local Racists’s Petition
PLP and other groups were right back in the streets protesting a meeting of racists called by a long time racist, fascist and a Trump supporter. This man tried to build a fascist movement by petitioning the City Council to create a list of immigrants who had criminal records. Under pressure by antiracists and the threat of more demonstrations, the City backed down from considering the petition.
Preparing for more fascist oppression, PLP and others organized a multiracial group based on the principles of mass actions against fascism. There are some groups that are mistakenly organizing only along racial lines. This divides the working class and weakens our ability to fight back. Some do not see the necessity of mass, militant action. They want to appeal to liberal politicians with peaceful appeals such as voting or petitioning. That’s not enough. Eventually the whole capitalist system has to go, so we have to learn how to fight back militantly now.
We  are building a strong base to oppose hate crimes, racist deportations, and any Muslim registry. This foundation must be the core for a society based on communist relations.
On January 21, the Progressive Labor Party, the Massachusetts Human Rights Committee, and others will rally against the inauguration of Trump in Washington, DC. The PLP in this area will also rally. We shall march in the streets and advance humankind closer to a better world. Fight for communism.
