I should've included this at an earlier point given this comes from the same document as the quote about the workers arming themselves. We aren't going to accomplish anything without building dual power with workers' parties against the existing bourgeois parties, and I'd like to further stress that we should submit Communist Party candidates to literally every single election possible.
As a brief tangent to our comrades in England, I would additionally like to emphasize that as you develop theory for Socialism with English characteristics that you not embrace the ideology of George Orwell's, "English Socialism." I'm not talking about IngSoc from his deeply embarassing novel 1984 (aside from his praise of Hitler, activity as a colonial officer in Myanmar where he bragged about wanting to brutally murder Myanmar natives, deliberate manipulation of English media as a government agent, submitting lists of anyone he considered a Communist to the English government (which in itself largely consisted of people he was racist towards, especially anyone he thought was Jewish—yes, this man was a virulent antisemite), etc., it's also in extremely poor taste to write a novel about why he believes Communism is bad during the height of World War II), I mean his advocacy for, "English Socialism," in another document he called, "The Lion and the Unicorn: Socialism and the English Genius," where he outlined horrendous policies of, "English Socialism," as follows:
While likely a niche argument, I found this appalling enough to mention. Do not, under any circumstances, take this man seriously. Being charitable, he deliberately misinterpreted the material conditions of England and created dogmatic, "English Socialist," policy that met his imperialist desires, without any actual plans of ending imperialism or freeing the workers.
If you're in the US Empire, I would recommend the Communist Party USA, who as far as I know are the only Socialist party in the USA actually performing community aid. This is distinct from the, "American Communist Party," (whom I will refuse to link here for the purposes of driving away traffic—they've already been Google-bombing to make sure their website floats to the top of search results, including on YouTube with Midwestern Marx, a party affiliate of theirs) who are Socialism-Appropriating Reactionaries who split from the Communist Party USA as a result of the CPUSA's stubborness against accepting their ideals, which are national bolshevism and, "MAGA Communism"—i.e., the, "American Communist Party," are neo-nazis, not Communists.
While the party line leaves much to be desired (currently, as it stands, they are far too open to social democrats and democratic socialists, operate very slowly in the majority of their Party Clubs (local parties, the level beneath District Parties, which are the state parties), and are far too praising of China whilst ignoring the imperialist support of the Israeli settler-colonial project and the cultural genocide of the Uyghur people) and they certainly need to push further Marxist-Leninist (a criticism Chairman Sims ironically made of the American, "leftist," movement in general—that it's neither Marxist nor Marxist-Leninist enough—which can equally be applied to the Communist Party), they are a genuine Communist Party and have adopted significantly better operational security since COINTELPRO.
For two examples, the ACP faction failed to build traction as a fifth column within the CPUSA (despite attempted interference with the National Committee) and eventually was booted/split from the Communist Party, only achieving drawing away 0.5% of the over 20,000 members in the Communist Party away to their reactionary movement. Additionally, within my own Party Club—of which I will publicly criticize for being agonizingly slow to the point that I may need to seek National Committee permission to build another Party Club that will be more functional, albeit I would prefer expanding an existing organization, as this would be both faster and more productive—a verification procedure exists wherein an initial call is held with the Party Chairman, then an invitation to a Party Club meeting is made so that the rest of the Party Club can assess the new, prospective Communist Party member, and they hold a vote whether to accept them into the Party Club.
If you live elsewhere (as it must be noted that Heoism is realistically developing into Socialism with North American characteristics, even amidst its internationalism (re: Fidel Castro), as this is my lived experience and the material conditions I best understand), please consult the International Meeting of Communist and Workers' Parties, or Solidarity Network ("SolidNet"), for a look at what parties you can join; I recommend this as this is an international organization, and one that the Communist Party USA is affiliated with (alongside direct affiliations with the Communist Party of Cuba, Communist Party of Chile, and Communist Party of Vietnam).
This is the page you can consult to find appropriate Communist and workers' Parties. The only criticisms I have of SolidNet are:
Arab.org has a section of their website referred to as the Daily Clicks, which can be clicked on daily to allow advertisers on their website to have confirmation that their ads have been viewed. This then, in turn, pays Arab.org 1 Lebanese Lira (Pound), which is exchanged at a rate of 1,500 LBP to 1 USD, regardless of changes in exchange rates. This income is then directly donated to these 6 causes, based on which ones you clicked on:
While normally you'd only be able to click each button once every 24 hours, you can add additional clicks via other browsers, and even every time you open a browser in an incognito session. You can essentially utilize this to create duplicate click registers, making up for the deficit of people not helping.
Gaza Funds is a website that will randomly load a verified Palestinian-Gazan GoFundMe/Chuffed campaign every time you open the website, allowing you to always have fundraisers you can redistribute your excess capital to.
ESims, or Electronic Sim Cards are what many people in Palestine rely upon to communicate with the outside world, retaining their connection to both humanity and aid networks. This link leads to a Google Doc filled with instructions on how to help.
There's additionally a secondary movement performing the same praxis, led by Disabled people, called Crips for eSims for Gaza.
This website has a lot of information about the history and current conditions of Palestine, and runs on Patreon donations.
This page for the BDS movement has a large amount of programs that should be participated in to cause major economic damage to the settler colony of Israel, preventing them from causing even worse damage to Palestine.
The PCRF is an aid organization focusing on the children in Palestine, having been doing so for 12 years now with enough integrity to consistently hold a four-star aid rating.
The Gaza Family Funds Directive is another large Google Doc, which holds a large amount of verified Palestine GoFundMe campaigns. It additionally has a colour grading as follows for levels of completion:
This section of the page will feature Palestinian GoFundMe campaigns that I'd like to spotlight until they've been 100% funded. Once they've been fully funded, they'll stay on the page if the GoFundMe campaign is still active. I'll be trying to monitor them at a rate of at least once per week. Names and images used here will be sourced directly from the GoFundMe campaigns themselves (including the image link being hosted by the campaigns).
This section of the page will feature Sudanese aid campaigns that I'd like to spotlight until they've been 100% funded. Once they've been fully funded, they'll stay on the page if the campaign is still active. I'll be trying to monitor them at a rate of at least once per week. Names and images used here will be sourced directly from the campaigns themselves (including the image link being hosted by the campaigns).
Please don't forget about the Sudanese people. The genocide in Palestine is not the only genocide in neoliberal capitalism right now. We must expand our efforts.
The SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic isn't over—and even if it were, that wouldn't mean other diseases like Influenza aren't out there. I myself have been hospitalized by the flu before. Regardless of how you feel about your own safety, you should always wear a mask when in public spaces or interacting with others you don't live with (and you should still wear a mask when you/someone you live with is sick/immunocompromised!).
The principle of herd immunity is extremely misunderstood, and refers to when the majority of a population is vaccinated, helping to socially inocculate those who are too immunocompromised (or Disabled in another manner) from illness the majority of the time. However, due to a massive global fascist wave, especially in the US Empire, vaccination rates are dropping concerningly.
Additionally, the modern reframing of herd immunity has quite literally taken on an element of Nazist eugenics (unsurprising, given the Nazis' German nationalist style of fascism was based on American fascism): telling people that you don't have to wear a mask because of, "survival of the fittest," is the pseudoscientific ideology of Social Darwinism, which is quite blatantly fascist eugenics.
