-The deepening crisis
of the capitalist system is intensifying conflicts
between the ruling classes of each country.
This is bringing us closer to a nuclear world war.
Only the working class taking power
can disarm the imperialist rulers to stop this.
We live in a class-divided country
ruled by a tiny class of billionaire families
through their Democratic and Republican parties.
Working people need a break from both
and build an independent movement
to defend ourselves against their attacks
on our wages and living conditions.
A revolutionary political party is needed to lead
and organize a mass popular movement
to establish a workers government.
A workers government can start with the needs of millions,
not the profits of a few,
and build a society based on human solidarity.
I support whatever builds this solidarity,
confidence, and fighting capacity of the working class
to defend our interests.
And I oppose anything that undermines solidarity between us
and promotes dependence on this dog-eat-dog system.
Workers and the unions
need to fight for a federally funded public works program
to put millions to work at union wages,
building and repairing infrastructure, schools,
parks, affordable housing, and hospitals,
fight for a shorter workweek at no loss in pay
to prevent layoffs,
and for workers control of production
to guarantee safety on the job and protect the environment.
I oppose all attacks on constitutional freedom
of worship and speech,
freedom of the press, association, and assembly,
due process and other liberties needed and used by the toilers.
I joined with fellow workers
to support labor struggles for higher wages and work schedules
that allow for family time and recreation.
We must fight for amnesty
for immigrants to unify the entire working class.
In face of rising anti-Jewish attacks around the world,
we fight Jew hatred
and defend Israel's right to exist as a refuge for Jews,
and we demand the US get out of the Middle East.
We defend Ukraine's sovereignty
and demand US troops and nuclear weapons out of Europe.
Join the Socialist Workers Party.
Thank you.
