On Friday night Communist protesters gathered outside the Ferguson, Missouri police department.
Many of the Communists were from the New York PLP revolutionary group.
This club, full of revolutionary potential, is an incubator for the kind of fightback that we need to build a communist movement. The key to winning is to organize black, Latin, and immigrant students on campus, those who bear the brunt of the bosses’ attacks. PLP is working to bring more and more students around to see that the fight has just begun, and that abolishing racism means abolishing capitalism.
