Joe Tache for Senate on Instagram: "Capitalism is a national emergency. The solution is socialism 🌎. Joe Tache is a member of the Party for Socialism and Liberation, a youth worker, and community organizer. He is running for U.S. Senate, representing Massachusetts, because we deserve much more than what both Democrats and Republicans offer. We can restructure our economy to meet the needs of the people and planet, from housing for all to real climate solutions. We can’t do it alone, though. We need to build an independent movement of working-class people to fight for a brighter future. #votesocialist2026 #tache4ma Go to our website linked in our bio to learn more information, sign up to be a volunteer, and sustain the fight back! ⏱️🆙"

No condemning Cuba coming from this campaign 😏
For the presidential campaign that makes sense, though it is actually offputting how much local PSL people talk about the campaign and this or that debate or speech. I think they get into it a bit more than is warranted for a cynical PR campaign, which is not reaply the fault of the individual members, but an inherent weakness to prioritizing bourgeois electoralism without complete clarity. If folks have to put so much time into it, I think they want to think it has more value than a PR campaign.
For a MA Senate campaign, though, I don’t really get it unless they are super interested in doing the exact same thing but only for Maine.
MA isn’t the worst place to campaign. It’s a fairly progressive state that’s also not a center of the DNC political machine like NYC and LA. Sanders got his start from Vermont after all. Vermont is a state that Democrats took for granted which allowed him to wiggle his way in as a third party dark horse.
I think a US branch of Palestine Action was also formed at MA, so there’s definitely a well of leftists that PSL can tap to. Not the worst place to recruit cadre.
This is your misunderstanding. The impossibility of electoral victory makes it very clear we aren’t “prioritizing bourgeois electoralism”.
It is all the local PSL people talked about and it was literally an electoral campaign. What they talked about was things like who won a debate.
Clear to who? What do you tell people going door to door?
That we need to build a mass working class movement for socialism
What are the practical differences between an electoral campaign about building a mass working class movement for socialism, and a purely educational/social campaign about building a mass working class movement for socialism?
The Boston PSL gets pretty large showings to their events as they are quite active and there are plenty of people in the city interested in some sort of vague radical politic. A lot of people I know attend the rallies but don’t know really what the PSL is. They just show up cause of the messaging and it getting shared on social media. And it’s not like they talk through the full party program at each rally. So I can kinda see the senate run as maybe a good PR move to really put the name of the org itself out there more to turn the attention they get from rallies into membership or more dedicated followings. Idk how successful it’ll be. Obviously I hope it works. The Boston PSL does a lot of great stuff
