IYSSE at LACC

IYSSE at LACC The IYSSE at LACC is orienting students and youth toward the working class in the struggle for socia Young people, including students, face a dangerous future.

The fraudulent economic “recovery” is worsening for the vast majority of the population. Imperialist war, even a nuclear World War III, looms around the corner. Climate change threatens the entire planet. These threats and others demonstrate that capitalism is a system in crisis, incapable of creating a decent future for youth, students, and workers everywhere. The Los Angeles City College chapter

of the International Youth and Students for Social Equality seeks to mobilize students and young workers in the struggle for the only viable alternative to capitalism: socialism. The IYSSE is dedicated to the defense of democratic rights, opposition to war, and the arming of students, youth, and workers with a socialist perspective. All interested people are welcome to attend meetings, regardless of major or enrollment status. Meetings include a political report on recent events given by an IYSSE member, highlighting relevant historical and theoretical issues. These reports and subsequent discussion are integral to our perspective for work on campus. Regular IYSSE meetings are held at Holmes Hall 202.

New information in media reports shows that Trump’s January 6 fascistic insurrection had high level support from within the Republican Party and critical sections of the police and military-intelligence apparatus.

These revelations raise the need for a full-scale investigation into the plot to overthrow the Constitution and all those involved in it.

What occurred yesterday was the outcome of a carefully planned conspiracy. It was instigated by Donald Trump, who has been working with a gang of fascist conspirators strategically positioned within the White House and other powerful institutions, departments and agencies of the state.

Even if the initial effort has fallen short of its goal, it will happen again.

It is essential to build a network of rank-and-file committees in factories and workplaces capable of organizing broad-based popular resistance through the mobilization of all sections of the working class.

The fascist insurrection in Washington DC is a turning point in the political history of the United States.

Together with his friend Karl Marx, who was two-and-a-half years his senior, Engels co-founded scientific socialism. Two hundred years later, their life’s work is of burning contemporary relevance.

"The COVID-19 pandemic and the global resurgence of class struggle" from Saturday, December 5.

https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2020/12/05/pers-d05.html

Tens of millions of workers around the world engaged in strikes and protests last week to call for government action to stop the spread of the pandemic and for compensation to unemployed workers. But all over the world there are organizations and "psuedo-left" political parties that operate for the sole political purpose of keeping the working class from developing an independent political line to fight for their own interests.

The Socialist Equality Party and the IYSSE have a program of action for workers, and it begins with a resolute political and organizational break from all groups that spin lies of reforming the system or to fight for marginal concessions in this time of extreme global inequality and poverty. This perspective outlines the current political atmosphere internationally which the working class must understand and then fight for their own interests.

Just in the past eleven days, tens of millions have joined strikes or mass protests.

Anger is growing at US factories and workplaces as the coronavirus pandemic rages out of control.

The struggle to defend the health and safety of workers must be combined with the building of a powerful political movement of the working class in the US and internationally which is aimed at establishing workers’ power, seizing the ill-gotten fortunes of the super-rich and reorganizing economic life along socialist lines, based on the principles of human solidarity and social equality.

Anger among workers is boiling over as corporations keep operating even though COVID-19 infections are spreading uncontrollably throughout factories and other workplaces.
