Bureaucracy of the Overlords: Against Political Persecution and Abuse of Authority in NYCDSA’s Trans Rights and Bodily Autonomy Working Group

It has come to our attention that one of our candidate members, who serves with distinction as a coordinator with the Trans Rights and Bodily Autonomy Working Group in NYC-DSA, has been made subject to harassment, including the issuance of an ultimatum demanding that she cease engagement with Liberation and withdraw her application. The main instigators of this blatant witchhunt are affiliates and members of Groundwork, which has established a reputation for this type of politically inspired harassment, most notoriously in Atlanta DSA. The justification for this harassment is our caucus’s signing of a statement several months ago regarding Elias Rodriguez, a post we made, and a nonexistent violation of the code of conduct that stemmed from it. Harassing a comrade and seeking to remove her from her position on such scanty "evidence" is ludicrous. This comrade’s affiliation with us was made known publicly through her recent participation in NYCDSA leadership elections, and it is our belief that this new campaign stems from a desire for retaliation against her. A closed meeting was held without this comrade’s knowledge, in part to discuss her. She was not offered an opportunity to participate in the meeting and defend herself. The outcome of said meeting was conveyed to her in a private Zoom call, where she was told that she is to leave Liberation, or face summary removal from her leadership role within the working group.

There is nothing in DSA’s bylaws or best practices justifying arbitrary removal of an individual because of their political beliefs or caucus affiliation. It is, in fact, a violation of best practices and basic standards of comradely behavior to harass comrades because of this. This is naked political retaliation. We demand that threats of removal of this comrade from her position cease, and that the democratic right of DSA members to affiliate with whatever caucus they choose be upheld. We do not tolerate political retaliation or any other harassment of our members, nor do we tolerate attempts to inhibit their organizing.

Comrade BRG No longer does the White Left support the ultimate cause of the working class and its historical revolutionary role. Instead, the White Left subsumes its hunger for White bourgeois legitimacy behind Marxist rhetoric and intellectual masturbation. The White Left and its major organizations support only "safe,"

On the Genocide in Sudan

Liberation stands in unflinching solidarity with the oppressed peoples of Darfur and broader Sudan who are confronting yet another eruption of genocide rooted in imperialist-backed paramilitarism and uneven exchange.
