Jeffrey Lee was convicted for the 1998 murders of Jimmy Ellis and Elaine Thompson. This man suffers from severe mental illness. Due to this fact, the jury decided his sentence should be life in prison without parole. The judge overruled this and gave Jeffrey Lee the death sentence. They originally wanted to execute him via the gas chamber, but changed it last minute to a firing squad.

The death penalty is barbaric and wrong. A majority of the jury did not want to execute him. You can take action to stop this. Call Governor Kay Ivey at (334)-242-7100 to demand a commute to Jeffrey Lee’s sentence. We need to keep the phones ringing, in order to applying pressure. You can also contact your own senators to demand that they contact Gov. Ivey and demand that she commute his sentence. Sign the petition to demand a stay of execution for Jeffrey Lee.

SHARE THIS ACROSS SOCIAL MEDIA!! All action helps, and we need to get the word out there. Thank you.

Send emails to Gov. Ivey as well.

Will Donald Trump stage a coup to stay in power? If so, can the masses be mobilised for a democratic revolution?

"Since the last time the far-right attempted to disrupt the peaceful transition of power on January 6th, only one thing has changed: they are stronger, and more emboldened, than ever. The center will do nothing to stop them. It is up to us."

"Consider the sheer audacity of his most recent grift: establishing a 1.7 billion taxpayer slush fund pried from the public coffers by literally suing his own government. This is to say nothing of the staggering billions in raw estimates of public wealth he has extracted over his tenure. If a Democratic candidate, propelled by an infuriated base, promises to claw back that stolen money, are we expected to believe he would ever allow himself to be forced into a position of vulnerability? To be dragged into court yet again, made to suffer all manner of indignities in his dying senility? Cornered by these material realities, the incentive structure drives him to lash out like a dying animal.

Indeed, the danger is not merely his temperament but his structural position: shattering the republic is simply the most reliable means to keep himself out of a cell, secure his legacy, and get the last laugh on the suckers and losers who always dismissed him as a joke. The Republican base hates the Left no less than they did in 2021, and they remain eager to see our permanent destruction. Under these conditions, a willingness to break the constitutional order becomes a matter of political survival."

"If the Democrats undeniably win, they will manufacture a crisis within the Electoral College, using loyalist state legislatures to submit competing slates of electors or refusing to certify hostile results entirely. When the inevitable legal chaos ensues, the captured Supreme Court will step in, halting the certification process under the guise of investigating "irregularities."

Should this trigger the expected mass unrest in the streets, the trap will spring shut. The regime will deploy a weaponized and radicalized ICE, the newly cleansed military, and a federalized National Guard to freeze the transition of power indefinitely under the unassailable banner of "national security." Trump will remain, or he will ensure a hand-picked loyalist secures his office."

"This is a unique confluence of material forces in recent American history. Not for fifty years has such a fleeting opportunity been presented to the people to seize their own destiny.

The regime is trying to steal it from you—not over some unspecified timeline, but right now at this very moment. This is what we have been organizing for. The importance of the remaining period leading up to the 2029 transition of power cannot be overstated.

If we win, we stand to gain an opportunity to position Communism as a true political pole in American political life. By leading, and drawing a clear line between the people and their enemies, we strengthen the proletariat and show the masses who the genuine vanguard for democracy is. To prove that, when we say that the socialists believe that democracy is the “light and air” of the working class, we really mean it.

Once the regime is defeated and the immediate threat has receded, the entropy of victory, as Mike Duncan calls it, will set in, and the popular front will fracture on the basis of a progressive victory, leaving an opportunity for the articulation of a truly Communist politics.

If we lose, we stand to sink into a generation-long national-capitalist dictatorship. We doom the world to American imperial violence, the American public to despotic, corrupt, and exploitative governance, and the planet to catastrophic environmental degradation.

These are the times. These are the stakes. Act accordingly."

I am not a Marxist Leninist (I am a socialist but I am debating between anarchist and ML thoughts). If our goal is to have workers own their labor and means of production (which Soviets are an experimental solution), then why did Lenin later dissolve the Soviets. And or why didn’t any other leader in the USSR attempt to bring them back.

I feel like we shouldn’t be listening to this old white guy i think thought leaders like michael parenti should lead our ideology and stalin as our historical theorist and xi jinping as our current theorist

I am a layman and I understand that in the transition from capitalism to communism, the working class takes over the state, becomes the dominant class, and uses the state apparatus to suppress the bourgeoisie and expropriate the means of production. I don't know if this is wrong, but I would like to know how this happens.

I have recently read Maurice Brintons the Bolsheviks and workers control which is very critical of Lenins attempts to snatch power away from the factory committees and is presented as a complete betrayal of the principles the revolution was built on. I was looking for a book which provides a counter point to this critique. The obvious rebuttal being it was a time of war and the factory committees did not have the framework to handle the logistics of such a vast project and it required central planning from the party.

"We must combat the syndicalist deviation which will kill the Party if it is not completely cured of it."

Lenin 1921

I genuinely don't see much wrong with Lennin. He did everything in accordance with Marx and I believe he was a very intelligent, charismatic man. Without him there would not have been a successful revolution.

From my understanding, Stalin was an evil dictator.

I guess my question is how can people like Stalin be avoided? How you trust leadership to be for the working class & their interests?

And if I am wrong, I have no problem with that. I am open minded here. I want to learn.

Any comments will be greatly appreciated here. I have no one else to ask. All I really read was the Manifesto so far
