Workers Strike Back @workersstrikeback.bsky.social · 06/01/2026

Workers internationally must stand with working people in Venezuela against the privatization and plundering of their oil resources by U.S. and Western European oil companies. We must also fight to end the sanctions against Venezuela, which have had catastrophic consequences.

If this is not prevented through immediate mass action by working people in the U.S., in Venezuela, and internationally, it could take thousands of lives.

This is incredibly dangerous and could lead to war against Venezuela and potential occupation. Trump has said outright that he intends for the U.S. military and oil companies to “run the country,” and that his administration is “not afraid of boots on the ground.”

Yet despite widespread opposition from working people, Democrats are cheering on the coup. Even “progressive” Democrats are limiting their their critique to merely asking for Congressional approval and fanning Trump’s false narratives about “narcoterrorism” to justify the assault.

Donald Trump and the Republicans have launched a horrific attack against Venezuela and carried out a military coup, including abducting President Nicolás Maduro. This assault, the culmination of a decades-long, bipartisan project of U.S. imperialism, must be completely condemned.

There is no avenue for working people to win under capitalism without declaring war back on the billionaire class. Watch for socialist analysis and strategy to organize working people to fight the rich and both of their political parties, and build towards the new working class party that we need.

As Kshama has said, "When you become part of a political organization that is controlled by the billionaires, it's the billionaire's agenda that holds sway, not our agenda."

Workers Strike Back @workersstrikeback.bsky.social · 22/11/2025
Unfortunately we see the same strategy by Mamdani, who is holding meetings with billionaires, corporate Democrats, and even Trump, and not organizing the hundreds of thousands of people who volunteered for his campaign into a movement to take on Wall Street.

Workers Strike Back @workersstrikeback.bsky.social · 22/11/2025
It is a party of the billionaires that will never fight for working people. Bernie, AOC, and others have refused to organize mass movements to fight the rich and their political servants. They have capitulated to the Democratic Party establishment, giving left cover to the endless sell outs.

Workers Strike Back @workersstrikeback.bsky.social · 22/11/2025
The Democratic Party sold out on healthcare now for the same reason they never put forward the public option under Obama, and crushed universal healthcare bills in state after state.
100
Workers Strike Back @workersstrikeback.bsky.social · 22/11/2025
But at the same time, the Democratic Party put tens of millions of working people through hell in the government shutdown while claiming to fight for our healthcare, only to sell out as soon as the elections were over.
110
Workers Strike Back @workersstrikeback.bsky.social · 22/11/2025
This year's elections were a resounding rebuke of Trump, Wall Street, and the Zionist lobby. Mamdani's victory in New York City shows that working people are hungry for demands like a rent freeze, universal childcare, and free transit funded by taxing the rich.

The Democrats are a dumpster fire of a party. Watch our latest episode of On Strike with Kshama Sawant about the aftermath of the 2025 elections: youtube.com/watch?v=RZwQ...

The huge anger at both parties creates a historic opening for working-class struggle, and the potential for breakthrough victories. Let's discuss the results, and talk about next steps to build our independent movement of working people in the fight against the rich. RSVP NOW!

Both the Democratic and Republican parties have backed the genocide in Gaza for 2 years, and both are parties of the billionaire class that carry out vicious attacks on working people all around the U.S. and internationally.

Zohran Mamdani’s election victory brings up crucial questions of strategy for the working class. How should elected representatives use their positions in order to win working-class victories?

run by and for working people, not the billionaires. We need to fight the rich and bring an end to the billionaire class and their system.

Workers Strike Back @workersstrikeback.bsky.social · 29/09/2025
Having elected representatives that take only the average worker's wage (which Kshama has also committed to again) and that use their office as a weapon to organize against the billionaires and their two parties is an essential tool in our fight for a fundamentally different kind of society —

We need a united antiwar movement that uses all tools available to our movements to end the genocide in Gaza and fight for concrete improvements to working people’s lives.

Kshama has committed to using her inauguration as a public protest where she will submit two bills: one for free public healthcare for all, and the other a bill to end all U.S. military funding to Israel.

Workers Strike Back @workersstrikeback.bsky.social · 29/09/2025
She is putting forward a fighting program to end the genocide in Gaza and end all U.S. military funding to Israel, to stop all deportations and shut down the detention centers, to fight for free healthcare for all, and for national rent control with a massive expansion of social housing.

The working class needs representation in Congress to fight tooth and nail for all of our movements. Kshama Sawant is running for Congress as a revolutionary socialist against warmongering Democrat Adam Smith.

We need an actual fightback to channel working-class anger into a defeat for the Dem/Rep Parties, both of which represent the warmongering billionaire class. Kshama Sawant’s independent socialist campaign for U.S. Congress against genocidal Democrat Adam Smith is what working class needs.

Cantwell voted for billions to fund the genocide, just like Adam Smith. Last month, as hundreds died from mass starvation in Gaza, Cantwell shamefully posed for a photo op with genocidal Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

He has decades of blood on his hands, going all the way back to his support for the 2003 Iraq War which killed around half a million Iraqis.

While Gaza starves, Smith now has the audacity to hold an event called “Taste of the 9th” that encourages people to “come hungry!” Smith is a disgusting warmonger who is responsible for this genocide and for the starvation of babies and children in Gaza.

Workers Strike Back @workersstrikeback.bsky.social · 12/08/2025
Democratic Congressmember Adam Smith has voted repeatedly to fund the genocide in Gaza and to ban funds from the United Nations food distribution in Gaza, directly contributing to the mass starvation.

Workers Strike Back @workersstrikeback.bsky.social · 12/08/2025
We will peacefully and forcefully protest outside Smith’s event, which should really be called TASTE FOR GENOCIDE, and demand an immediate end to all military aid to Israel and to the brutal occupation. We need to send independent antiwar pro-worker socialist Kshama Sawant to U.S. Congress!
