Claudia de la Cruz of puts an end to Brianna Wu
I’m not watching an hour of Wu. Send the highlights, comrade xi
One hour of a David Pakman hosted debated…yeaah, I’m not watching that.
There has to be other channels that have posted this so we don’t have to give Pac Man views
Always use frontends like invidious, piped, or others. Then you won’t ever have to worry about giving views to channels you don’t like or dealing with youtube and its ads. Also you will have increased privacy.
In this case, piped: https://piped.yt/watch?v=div2SXe1NBA
invidious: https://yewtu.be/watch?v=div2SXe1NBA

I just found Claudia de la Cruz’s presidential campaign site, for those interested:
Ok she seems awesome, and I’ve heard the PSL endorsed by at least a few Marxists I trust, but what do yall think about them and their platform? Any weird gotchas in there or history of grossness from her or the organization?
I believe some northeast chapters have had SA cover up accusations levied against them, but I had my own not great experience with my local branch in the Midwest. Nowhere near anything like that, just more of a “this branch needs to figure out what they’re doing, and they’re actively leading me on and wasting my time” sorta thing.
That said, I’ve voted for them in the past, and if they’re on the ballot, they’ll get my vote. I just dont work with them locally anymore.
I only know of one case in the philly branch, and like from what I heard, it was an understandably messy situation, but that seems more like a problem in any type of organization, not specific to the PSL. It seems to me like people conflate the branch/national not airing dirty laundry in public with them doing some kind of nefarious cover up.
They’re trots so don’t ask em about AES but if they’re on your ballot it’s a virtual guarantee they’re your best option.
PSL are not trots.
PSL supports Cuba, Vietnam, China and the historical USSR.
PSL did branch from a trot organization, which might be why you think this. This is because most surviving leftist organizations in America post WW2 redscare were trot organizations.
Links to some random PSL publication articles to prove my point. https://www.liberationschool.org/category/china-2/

This is incorrect and you should edit your post to reduce the wrecker impact of your comment. You have received enough evidence from others to justify this course of action.
If you need more, listen to PSL’s podcast or read their news website. They are very strategically an American party. They do not voice direct and unequivocal support for nations that America is in direct conflict with because it’s politically difficult to do that and not get marginalized. If you listen to their talking points, it’s clear they support China and Russia against the USA, but they’re also from the anti-war movement so they use their anti-war rhetoric to avoid being so obvious about their pro-Russia position vis-a-vis the Ukraine conflict. They don’t want people to die. They also don’t want to support one capitalist oligarchy over another, but they absolutely support anti-imperialism.
They are also very clearly focused on revolution here in the USA and not focused on a permanent global revolution in every country.
There’s basically nothing Trotskyist about them. They aren’t ultras, but it can sound like it because they are Americans navigating the brainrot in America caused by American propaganda.
They are a democratic centralist party. They have strict discipline for their members. They have strong vetting. They are building a mass movement informed explicitly by Lenin’s writings. Honestly the worst thing about them is that they aren’t incorporating enough Mao, Fanon, Ho, and other Global South theories into their organizing.
“progressive civil war”
Lmao wtf is this shit
