    Gotcha, understandable. I’ve suggested to party members that they start a podcast or something like that. I don’t know why they’ve dragged their feet so much. The fate of humanity is on the line… Twitter has been around since 2007, it’s kind of crazy they have no presence there before now.

    I also skew SWP as well on core issues, (need for a labor party, need for a labor movement) but I find some of their views hard to understand. The paper often doesn’t really explain the rationale for their line very well.

      I agree. They mainly focus on straightforward reporting about their activities and some ongoing issues, but it doesn’t feel like a movement that people can really connect with. I want to help change that in my own way.

      I’m currently working on an article/letter to the editor to submit, because I believe there are a lot of modern issues they should address, not just traditional topics like railroad worker strikes.

      We’re facing challenges like AI, affordable housing, homelessness, and media monopolies. These are areas where they could get involved and draw more attention.

      I’m also planning to work on establishing a local chapter of the Socialist Workers Party to give them more presence in my area, and to tackle these issues at a local level.
