What should internal democracy look like in a revolutionary party?\n

In March 1921\, with Russia devastated by three years of civil war\, the Tenth Party Congress of the Bolshevik Party introduced a ban on factions inside the Party (the resoluti on On Party Unity). A left wing faction of the Party\, the Workers Opp osition\, proposed that control of the economy be taken away from the Part y and given to the Soviet trade unions. The Opposition was suppressed thro ugh the motion to ban factions\, introduced by Lenin. \n

\n
\n
\n
Before 1921\, the Bolshevik Party had many factional disput es and factions were guaranteed representation on leading Party bodies. Af ter the Tenth Congress\, in 1922\, Stalin became General Secretary and the Party soon became a monolithic entity crushing every internal oppositiona l tendency\, the template for the actually existing “Communist” states of the present day. \n
\n
Comrades who are interested in seeing a re volutionary party with a democratic internal regime are invited to attend and discuss these issues.\n
\n
There is a reading\, which takes a bout two hours to complete. We ask that you do the reading if you attend: Excerpts (Liebman\, Mandel\, Roberts\, Bolshev ik Resolutions)\n
\n
\n
\n
Optiona l reading/reference: The Tenth Party Congress M inutes (translated into English for the first time)\n

Good news! The "Socialism Beats Fascism" Committee is stepping up to meet the political moment.

Each meeting is \;filled with rich community discussion as we process our political moment... and t ake action.
For every campaign\, we show up later that month to ORGA NIZE! Volunteers from the Community Meeting have given testimony at Board meetings against investment in apartheid\, flyered Oakland businesses with signs educating workers on preventing ICE from entering\, joined ICE watc h patrols\, and so much more.

This hands-on training\, led by th e EBDSA Tax the Rich working group and ACCE\, will teach you how to organi ze and run house meetings\, and how to gain organizational endorsements fo r the campaign. We chose these tactics for the training because they take a minimum of resources\, have high levels of success\, and serve as multip lier effects for the campaign. You'll also receive talking points to count er the lies of the billionaires and their spokespeople for your conversati ons with family\, friends and coworkers. Besides the hands on training we' ll provide you with a big picture update on progress of the campaign. Taxi ng the rich is well within reach\, but we need to do the work\, and now's the time.

We want to show the char ters\, privatizers and money-interest opposed to our campaign that Oakland schools have Oakland values! Let's talk to our neighbors and win a better world for our families.

On May Day 2026\, East Bay DSA played a powerful role in an action to disrupt the Oakland Airport in support of the Oakland People's A rms Embargo campaign\, as well as centering our demands to tax the rich\, end US wars\, and abolish ICE. Hundreds of our members did not work\, and we also marched and rallied at additional actions across the Bay Area.

At our public meet ings\, we’ll continue to learn from and discuss the history of general s trikes in the Bay Area and discuss our role in building mass working class action in the East Bay.

Did you know that there’s a strike happening right now for fair benefits\, clean water\, and a climate transition that supp orts our communities rather than harming them? And it’s happening right here in the East Bay.
Join the Community Meeting on Tuesday\ , Aug 25th to learn all about the fight against a mega-fossil fuel corpora tion right here! There will be free homemade dinner\, good music\ , and good discussion with people in your community.
Most peo ple don’t know about it yet\, but over 100 workers are on strike right n ow against the biggest oil refinery company in the country\, Marathon. Whe n the company switched to making renewable diesel in Martinez\, they also laid off over 700 workers. Their profits are skyrocketing . Meanwhile\, they’re slashing wages\, and often forcing their employees to work for weeks on end without a day off\, and work 18-hour days with dangerous equipmen t. Unsurprisingly\, the refinery has become very dangerous\, posing safety risks to workers\, as well as pollution threats to the Bay.
But workers won’t stand for it\, and they’re calling on us for support.
Join us a nd join the fight back.

On May Day 2026\, East Bay DSA played a powerful role in an action to disrupt the Oakland Airport in support of the Oakland People's A rms Embargo campaign\, as well as centering our demands to tax the rich\, end US wars\, and abolish ICE. Hundreds of our members did not work\, and we also marched and rallied at additional actions across the Bay Area.
At our 2026 chapter convention in June\, we decided to spend the next year preparing to make our intervention in May Day 2027 even bigger and mo re meaningful\, establishing the May Day Working Group. At our August publ ic meeting\, we’ll continue to learn from and discuss the history of gen eral strikes in the Bay Area\, debrief the Bay Resistance mass assembly\, and continue to talk about our role in building mass working class action in the East Bay.
We encourage in-person attendance\, but will have a zoom option available to listen in! You can get the zoom link by RSVPing . We'll have snacks and seltzers for attendees.

At our 2026 chapter convention in June\, we decided to spend the next year preparing to make our intervention in May Day 2027 even bigger and mo re meaningful\, establishing the May Day Working Group. At our public meet ings\, we’ll continue to learn from and discuss the history of general s trikes in the Bay Area and discuss our role in building mass working class action in the East Bay.

What is the Imperial Boomerang?
Orig inally a term used to describe colonial violence returning to Nazi Germany \, in the modern United States it appeared in the 1970 Kent State Massacre during the Vietnam War\, and continued with the creation of SWAT\, the Wa r on Drugs\, and the Global War on Terror (GWOT). In recent years\, compan ies like Elbit and Palantir sell military technology to the United States and Israel as each country inflicts escalating violence on its respective borderlands and vulnerable populations.
Copaganda – how police and the media manipulate our news – tricks well-meaning c ommunities into allowing police methods to escalate into militarization re sembling distant warzones. Using excerpts from Copaganda and The Palestine Laboratory\, along with more recent articles\, we will examine what it lo oks like when the frontier abroad comes home. Join the Chochenyo Baylands and Valley branch of the East Bay DSA to discuss and connect these concept s to current events in our communities.

Readings include :
