Our Latest Statements
“Bourgeois politicians, one and all, in all parliamentary countries, have always paid lip-service to democracy while betraying it." -VI Lenin
"With the entry of a socialist into the government, and class domination continuing to exist, the bourgeois government doesn't transform itself into a socialist government, but a socialist transforms himself into a bourgeois minister."
—Rosa Luxembourg
US imposed sanctions and multiple coup attempts have succeeded in producing extreme hardship among the populace of Venezuela since the success of the Bolivarian Revolution in 1999, which in turn has caused a mass refugee crisis, with many fleeing to the US.
Data centers are a new epidemic in the US, causing peoples’ electricity bills to skyrocket in the towns where they're being constructed. These taxpayer-funded centers pollute air and water ways, irreversibly damaging the health of the people and ecosystems around them.
AI-powered surveillance drones and their corresponding software used by Israeli occupation forces to carry out genocide in Gaza are now being deployed across Cincinnati to monitor protesters and civilians. This blatant connection between CPD and the corporate entities facilitating genocide in Palestine cannot be ignored. The phrase "We are all Palestinian" rings true in the most literal sense.
Since 2018, at least 25 hospitals across Ohio have either closed or consolidated their maternity services, 10 of which served rural communities. This is only part of a broader trend occurring nationwide. Since 2022, more than 100 hospitals across the US have shut down their obstetric units. These care deserts are not accidental, nor are they specific to maternity wards; rather, they are a product of a capitalist system that prioritizes profit over the health of the working class across all medical sectors.
