.@AOC gave campaign money to Elissa Slotkin (D-MI), ex-aide to John Negroponte, who was ambassador to Honduras from 1981-85 & helped train/support dictators & death squads killing tens of thousands in Central America.

And she claims to defend immigrants? Now THAT is Bad faith!
Chris Dodd in 2001:

"Based upon the Cmte's review of State Dep't & CIA documents, it would seem that Amb. Negroponte knew far more about government perpetrated human rights abuses than he chose to share with the cmte in 1989 or in Embassy contributions at the time."
Here is a description of US-backed regimes massacring workers and peasants: Image

.@DSA_Immigration, any comment for the World Socialist Web Site?
Negroponte ENDORSED Slotkin in 2018. That is, @AOC is allied with John Negroponte in support of Slotkin.

.@briebriejoy also called the @WSWS_Updates "bad faith." Here's our reply to her.

Here's the WSWS analysis of @AOC's donations to right-wing Democrats with military/CIA backgrounds.

Today I’ll be posting threads on the history of the Democratic Party, focusing on critical episodes in its past. It’s necessary to study history to understand revolutionary strategy today.

This thread: 1828 and its aftermath.On what basis was the Democratic Party founded?

1/21 Image
Essentially, the use of race/identity politics & political bad faith to maintain social stability & protect private property. The Democratic Party is one of the oldest bourgeois political parties in the world, formally founded in 1828.

2/21
It was consciously conceived of by Southern slave owners and Northern Tammany politicians as an alliance to protect the interests of the slave owners & preserve social stability in both South and North.

@Fiorella_im @Oinklet2 @LincolnS1866 @Ihavenousefora1 @ChaseLa74813330 @ComandanteMDT @WSWS_Updates @Genevievewsws @jkishore Response to this thread:

Petty-bourgeois radicals like @Fiorella_im, @Ihavenousefora1 are awed by Trump. They think this fascist representative of finance capital is an "oppositional" figure, they transform the mob wearing "camp auschwitz" shirts into oppressed victims.

@Fiorella_im @Oinklet2 @LincolnS1866 @Ihavenousefora1 @ChaseLa74813330 @ComandanteMDT @WSWS_Updates @Genevievewsws @jkishore .@Fiorella_im was awed by Bernie Sanders, campaigned for him, now is mightily impressed by the petty-bourgeois rabble in the Capitol. On behalf of which class did this fascist mob mobilize? Anti-socialist, anti-Lockdown, anti-any measure to protect workers from #covid.

@Fiorella_im @Oinklet2 @LincolnS1866 @Ihavenousefora1 @ChaseLa74813330 @ComandanteMDT @WSWS_Updates @Genevievewsws @jkishore In this discussion, the anti-WSWS ppl have explicitly called for orienting to the fascists. @Ihavenousefora1 and @LincolnS1866 have both said socialists must win over the fascists in the mob in Washington. Betrays hostility to mobilizing working class as ind'y social force.

THREAD

Very timely to re-post the WSWS's coverage of the Trump-inspired fascist plot to kill Gretchen Whitmer, Northam, etc. The putsch in DC shows what we predicted is coming true.

1/
Here is what we wrote the day after the first arrests, October 9:

wsws.org/en/articles/20…
On October 10 we pointed to the conspiracy by the Dems and media to cover-up the plot to kill Whitmer.

2/
wsws.org/en/articles/20…
On October 11 we published this comprehensive map of the plot details that were known at the time:

Thread.

The @DemSocialists and @jacobinmag are engaged in a concerted effort to downplay the fascist insurrection today. Those who say this is no big deal include @remarksist @BMarchetich, Sunkara and @broderly.

Feel free to add to this list.

In Oct the @DemSocialists' mag, @jacobinmag denied Trump was plotting a coup & argued the plot against Whitmer was “exaggerated,” that the media is engaged in “sensationalism” and that there is no real threat of far-right violence today. @BrankoMilan

wsws.org/en/articles/20…
First, Jacobin reassures its readers that far-right violence “remains a statistically minor threat to life” in general.
Second, Jacobin writes that lending legitimacy to the plot only feeds hysteria over “terrorism” in general and helps Trump’s “threats to designate ‘antifa’ as a terrorist organization.”

Thread: The DSA (@DemSocialists) has nothing to do with socialism.

It has four members in congress, and all of them voted to elect Nancy Pelosi as speaker. @CoriBush @AOC @JamaalBowmanNY @RashidaTlaib. @Ilhan & @RepPressley also vote for Pelosi.

What does this mean?

1/
There's no diff between the DSA and the Democratic Party.

The DSA as an organization just endorsed Pelosi's leadership of the Democratic Party. Their vote is an endorsement of Pelosi's political record. Bailouts for Wall St. Decades of imperialist war. Mass surveillance...

2/
The DSA took the energy of the thousands of young people who (mistakenly) joined the DSA because they wanted socialism, and handed it on a platter for Nancy Pelosi, who epitomizes the American oligarchy.
