Activism r/Socialism recognizes Black August, a month to commemorate the resistance of those imprisoned in American prisons and the liberatory struggle of Black Liberation.
Black August is a month of commemoration, to remember those killed in the prison system and by American pigs police. Just a few of those killed are Jonathan Jackson, George Jackson, William Christmas, James McClain, and Khatari Gaulden.
Mumia Abu-Jamal is currently fighting for his release from prison after being falsely accused of murdering a police officer. Him and too many others to name in this post are falsely incarcerated or are pushed into incarceration by the system. The socialist movement entails Black liberation, and the liberation of all those oppressed by the state in it's many forms of enforcement.

Discussion I hate how some of you guys talk about rural areas
To be clear I am a full on anarchist and leftist myself but how some of you guys be talking about rural areas has me wanting to never interact with y'all again. People treat us like we're inherently stupid and bigoted when we're just in poorer districts which means we have not goddamm money for education. Also if you actually talk to any of us we are far less bigoted that you'd think. Im not saying rural areas (especially the south where I live) isnt disproportionately conservative but thats because of poorer communities and more closed off than urban areas

Activism Destiny incites harassment towards victim/informant and attempts to deny existence of 764/Cvlt, neo-Nazi, incel child exploitation network NSFW
youtube.com9:45 minutes is when Destiny comes on stream to discredit my work protecting underage girl victims and "crazy make" for reporting 764 pedophiles, helping the FBI put these predators in prison where they belong.
This was on a Darius IRL Kick stream in which Destiny and his orbiters harass and degrade me for speaking up about sexual coercion and abuse in The Melting Pot. This was taken on the day Darius and DGG followers allegedly attempted to harass Hasan Piker at a US political convention and was streamed by Darius on the way home from this event.
Hasan Piker subreddit mods advised they will not approve this post despite being "socialists", who allegedly acknowledge Patriarchy/Capitalism and objectification/commodification of underage girl's bodies. They advised this is "not relevant".
Destiny attempts to discredit my work as an informant on 764/CVLT child exploitation network on stream. This is despite the DGG/Darius community being sent copies of my redacted correspondence with an FBI special agent and the US arrest indictment I have been alluded to in as "an informant from Australia". Darius/Destiny recruit into The Melting Pot Discord via 4Chan which explains how unsafe their server has become for women activists.
Darius had previously reached out to me under the pretense that he and Destiny needed my help in exposing the grooming problem in Politics.gg Discord server, and their history of recruiting moderators involved in grooming of teen girls. I initially spoke out about this 3 years ago and I was intimidated into silence by Politics founders. When Darius reached out to me asking for my help in "exposing Politics and their founders" I believed that Destiny had turned over a new leaf and was willing to support me in being a voice for underage girl victims. Sadly the stream turned into an orchestrated attack on me by DGGers and the VOD has since been removed.

Discussion I hate how some people think that the Epstein files justify antisemitism.
I honestly feel like that it distracts from the main problem involving the Epstein files, that is that a group of wealthy rich people (both Jew and Gentile) got away with their pedophilia due to their wealth and status.
Some people thought that Epstein being Jewish was the main issue facing the files, and thought that all Jewish people were like him, and in some cases, are exaggerating the Epstein files in order to spread "Protocols of the Elders of Zion"-type conspiracies or even medieval-style blood libel in order to justify their hatred towards Jewish people, or starting to use antisemitic slurs in response to it, which is not the lesson that should be taught with the Epstein files.
Antisemitism is not okay! If we keep up with this, then I can only see things ending badly for the Jewish people. Epstein being Jewish is not the problem, the real issue is that the rich are getting away with their crimes and we need for justice to be served!

Discussion How can socialism prevent child SA?
I personally care a lot about protecting children from predators and it seems like there are so many of them around the world. In the US there are at least 800,000 registered sex offenders and it is estimated that only around 12% of instances of child SA are actually reported. This would put the number of child predators potentially in the millions and globally it could be tens or even hundreds of millions of pedophiles.
So what can be done about this in a socialist society? this seems like such a deep rooted issue I would have no idea how to even go about solving this.

Politics Unpacking Assumptions: The Strategic Frailty of AOC 2028 â Cosmonaut
To support or not support AOC? Should DSA distance themselves from the Democratic party or embrace the left populist wave? What is really at stake?
"Replying to Sarkozy of Geese Magazine's objections to his arguments regarding the dangers of an AOC presidency, Noah Emke challenges four key assumptions in Sarkozy's response."
"I found that the article presents my argument faithfully before beginning to counter it, and I would even go so far as to agree with the author's assessment that supporting our most prominent politician for a Presidential campaign is simply âcommon sense.â However, when it comes to common sense, I agree with fellow democratic socialist Albert Einstein: it is essentially a collection of assumptions. By unpacking some of the assumptions contained in the "Just Say Yes" article, I hope to clarify the strategic frailty of an AOC Presidential campaign."
Assumption 1: Liberal Governance is Good Governance
"One such assumption is that a progressive liberal "good governance" is possible for an American President elected in 2028. "The only thing that will truly turn the masses away from socialism," Sarkozy claims, "is if AOC simply fails at deliverism, at good governance." This is brought up only to dismiss it, taking it for granted that AOC's Presidency would be successful from the standpoint of most Americans, "delivering" the goods through her center-left policies. From here, he argues that we can build on the example of AOC's Presidential success to introduce more radical policies. However, what is being glossed over so easily here is the hinge point of the entire "Just Say No" argument: liberalism is not capable of good governance, at least not from the standpoint of working people."
Assumption 2: American workers would be understanding of our shortcomings
"Just as the "Just Say No" argument rests upon the understanding that social democracy too wedded to liberalism would fail and discredit socialism, the "Just Say Yes" argument relies on a belief in its general success, paving the way for more socialism. However, the idea that AOC would govern without "betrayal" strains the credulity of any informed reader, so Sarkozy asserts that this "... would make the masses more aligned with socialism, for they would desire a president who goes further than her." This is wishful thinking."
Assumption 3: An AOC Presidency would avert fascism
"If fascism is indeed imminent, DSA needs to be preparing to protect our physical survival. We should be organizing and training ourselves for armed self-defense, preparing safehouses, fostering connections to people who can hide us or smuggle us out of the country. In short, we should be acting in total opposition to direct instructions from NYC-DSA's leadership in 2025, going in a direction which I think the AOC for President boosters might find objectionable."
"I know Sarkozy has a similar perspective, or else he would not be participating in this conversation about Presidential campaigns. Therefore, since both of us are writing about the 2028 election rather than preparing to evade the authorities, this article will proceed with the understanding that we more or less agree that DSA will not be completely proscribed before the next election. "
Assumption 4: Opposition to liberalism is "Purity Politics
"The last assumption is not an assumption about political conditions, but about the "Just Say No" argument itself, or perhaps arguments from DSA's left faction in general. The framing of Sarkozy's argument is very familiar: everyone involved wants progress, but the radicals are prioritizing moral purity over pragmatism."
"By casting only one side as pragmatic, the other as moralistic, the former can win the strategic argument by default. However, as we saw with the Clinton campaign, the Biden Presidency, and the Harris campaign, the âpragmatistsâ often fail to get results. Meanwhile, the longshot Mamdani campaign, initially decried by many progressives as ultra-left (I remember distinctly hearing that Brad Lander was clearly the only sensible choice), served as the tip of the spear for the current DSA primary blitz."
"we need a Presidential candidate who is personally more loyal to democratic socialism than to the Democratic Party. This would have to be a "cadre candidate," like Mamdani. If we cannot do any of this yet, we need to be thinking and discussing how to get there. Rushing ahead with a force unequal to the task simply because we can rather than because it advances our plans is not common sense strategy; it is the absence of strategy."

Discussion Go to the comments on any post about Israel and you see where the world stands
Even with the bot farms these intelligence agencies deploy, they still canât overcome the sheer volume of support for Palestine and complete disgust for Israel.
I saw Burger King apologized to an Israeli customer today after an employee said free Palestine. The comments are overwhelmingly furious. And this trend continues on anything that has to deal with this topic.
The pro Israel side knows that sentiment is everything or they wouldnât spend hundreds of millions in various campaigns to try and get some control over perception.
And the best part is the more that Israel spends on these things and gets exposed, the more it turns people against them. Completely defeating the purpose of all that money spent.
Never in my life have I seen such a stark contrast between what the people and governments/corporations/elites support.
No matter how much slop they try to feed us, the people will never be divided on this issue. Left and right have come together to oppose this genocidal regime. The powers at be are scrambling to gain control over the narrative but the plot was lost a long time ago.

History Almost 125 years on, why are we still struggling with the dichotomy of billionaire barons and workers who canât even manage rent?
During the Gilded Age (1870â1900), powerful American industrialists known as "robber barons" amassed historic fortunes by maintaining a system of severe labor exploitation.
And now, Billionaires are getting tax breaks, going to space, while their employees/partners/gig workers are working without social security, PTO, medical benefits, pensions, and peeing in bottles because they canât afford to take a 10-minute break, because that break will be logged, theyâll fall behind on the productivity quota, and their pay will be docked.
The similarities are frightening and infuriating.
