Check out my latest on Eugene Debs in honor of the 100th anniversary of his death. I'd like to draw special attention to the part about Debs' contribution to prison abolitionism, which figures too faintly in our memory of him, and the coincidental connection to Stop Cop City:
On the Democratic Constitution Blog, @overallsthinker argues that "in this era of constitutional crisis, imperialist war, presidential despotism, and mass incarceration, we should all have the courage to take up the task of finishing the unfinished democratic revolution."
Reading Ray Ginger's classic biography of Eugene Debs was a key moment in my radicalization when I was in high school. In college, I participated in the fight against Cop City in Atlanta. The indirect connection between the two is one of the coolest things I've ever learned about
Credit to @DebsMuseum for finding this great photo of Debs at the Atlanta Prison Farm
Nithya Raman is not a good representative of DSA nor the kind of candidate I think DSA chapters should run, but I have to be honest, the NPC's actions this week are utterly incomprehensible to me
I'm glad to see that the NPC's insistence over months that all DSA-affiliated candidates must support BDS towards Palestinian liberation has moved one of the most notoriously recalcitrant chapter endorsees in the country to finally support BDS. Big win for electoral red lines
My latest in Light & Air, celebrating Eugene Debs' legacy as a tribune of the Socialist Party on the 100th anniversary of his death:

Rest in peace Eugene Debs, gone 100 years today. Check out these three timely pieces from him:

The 2028 Presidential Election will be a flashpoint for American politics. But without a strong anti-Constitutional program, the forces for democracy will be unable to overcome the structural disenfranchisement embodied in the state. Steven R. argues that, for the work in 2028 and onwards to succeed, socialists must emphasize constitutional politics, disloyalty to the Constitution, and opposition to ICE.

Check this out if you didn't know there was almost a revolution in Britain in 1832 or that Senate GOP leadership relies on 60 million magic votes conjured out of thin air to stay in power 👇
On The Democratic Constitution Blog, @overallsthinker argues that, like nineteenth-century Britain, the United States is plagued by political malapportionment & unequal rights, & that the struggle for democracy is the way forward ⤵️

. @TheAtlantic when you run op-eds quoting my writing please make sure your editors give due credit to @MarxistUnityDSA where we do indeed keep the abolitionist tradition you were founded on and abandoned decades ago alive, as this passage alludes to in scare-quotes
I don't even disagree that Sawant's result in WA9 was noteworthy, but this is such a ridiculous claim. There have been openly Marxist candidates who were actually elected and served in Congress!
Skeletons in the closet, ghouls vacating their seats, zombies casting proxy votes, the specter of democracy haunting Fox News—what a frightening month for the US Senate! Read my latest on the Democratic Constitution Blog: democraticconstitutionblog.s…
