Last month, MUG and DSA NPC member Cliff Connolly spoke on WFLA about the need for a democratic political and economic system that gives the working-class majority an equal say in decisions that affect them. America is not a democracy, and DSA is fighting to make it one.

Marxist Unity Group deliberated & voted on the following statement to demonstrate our commitment to abolition as a central tenet of DSA's program. The working class cannot rule while a large part of it remains policed & caged. While there is a soul in prison, we are not free.

The reason why it was appropriate for the Workers Party to be born on Christmas day, 1921, is that on that day, once in every seven years, the workers get two days of liberty in succession. They get that much opportunity to think - Max Eastman Happy holidays, comrades!
