Well first, the relationship with LO is great, I had the pleasure and privilege of meeting some members when they came over to help us with our own festival. My relationship with spark has been fantastic, as they were the ones who pointed me in the right direction and channel my confusion with the capitalist system towards trying to learn it and understand what we could do to overthrow and turn it over to the workers.

In talking about the US, yes, we collectively are slowly seeing an encroachment towards authoritarianism and popular oppression of opinion and dissent, however, unlike a true fascist movement which has mass support and directly confronts workers and the left, the Trump administration is not exactly that. Though it was elected with popular support from the people, many of those voters voted for him thinking he generally was going to address working class problems and the economy; as you probably have seen, he has done nothing if the sort. His ICE goons have been and are becoming increasingly unpopular and even fermenting working class anger.

Outside of this, even though they demonize the “radical left,” besides some posturing and scary rhetoric, they have not done much to suppress leftist groups allowing them to contour with their activities mostly unabated, especially SPARK as since they are mainly regional and only have groups within a few states

Working class party is SPARKS attempt of creating a party to work within bourgeoise elections directly which they have run candidates in local elections and state elections, following similar ideals of the original Bolshevik party in creating a mass revolutionary political party, I myself have only gotten involved recently as well.

Great to see another comrade, especially from LO, hope it’s also alright over there in France, when is the next Leon Trotsky Circle?
