Protest Theatre for the Ruling Class

While Cincinnati Socialists encourages all people to militantly and unstintingly voice their opposition to the semi-fascist Trump régime, we are skeptical about the goals and class character of the organizers of events organized by liberal groups like 50501. The unequivocal lesson of history is that real resistance to state violence, state oppression, and state corruption can only come from the broad masses themselves, and not from the ruling classes, who—no matter how well-intentioned—will never jeopardize their own unity in the name of the people’s liberation.
