A Profitable Pandemic: How The Government Prioritizes Corporate Interests Over Public Health
The goal is to get us back to work; the plan is to convince us that getting sick is normal.
“School Choice” and the Capitalist War on Public Education
Children are meant to learn, not earn. Free quality public education should be made available to every child no matter their race or socioeconomic status. Attacks on public schools serve to widen class divisions, limit access to quality education to a privileged few, and reduce public education to nothing more than job training for working class children.
Who Do The Police Serve? The Execution of Sonya Massey
Sonya Massey should still be alive. Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, Timothy Thomas, Sam Dubose, Tortuguita, Dexter Reed Jr., Elijah Hadley, and countless others should still be alive. We should honor all of them in the struggle against racist and classist state violence.
On the Unbearable Lightness of Rabbi Ari Jun
Our organization has come under fire recently from Rabbi Ari Jun, the Director of Cincinnati’s Jewish Community Relations Council and an outspoken Cincinnati Zionist. On June 17, CityBeat published an article on our informational picket outside US Representative Greg Landsman’s office in Walnut Hills. Journalist Lily Ogburn quoted Jun as calling us “tasteless” and “looking like an extremist or hate group.” Remarkably, Rabbi Jun does not deny that our organization has a democratic right to hold Rep. Landsman accountable for his actions; nor does he make any substantive criticism of any of our public claims. Jun’s objections to our political speech, like those of other local Zionist spokespeople, is vague and impressionistic; like them, when Jun cannot provide reasoned arguments, he offers a smokescreen of catchphrases, speculation, and buzzwords.

Empire in Decay: Why We Should Abandon Landsman
Ohio Congressman Greg Landsman does not represent us! He has consistently stood against what his constituents want and continues to support Israel in their genocide of the Palestinian people.
Zionism Betrays the Jewish Diaspora
The IHRA definition of antisemitism is a reactionary stratagem to quell legitimate anti-Zionism and to establish Zionism itself as a kind of secular American religion. Cincinnati Socialists without reservation condemns antisemitism and just as emphatically opposes Zionism as a form of national chauvinism and a tool of the international ruling class.
Covington City Government: Genocide Apologists
Mayor Meyer and his friend, former City Commissioner Steve Frank, are colonialist talking heads. Meyer has shown repeatedly that he is nothing more than a weapon wielded by Covington’s business class to silence opposition and to make exploitation and corruption palatable. The bourgeois state will always be an exploitative hindrance, not a vehicle for our collective liberation.
Exposing the Genocide-Enabling Sponsors of Cincinnati Pride: Top Sponsors Have Deep Ties to Israel
Cincinnati Socialists was kicked out of Northern Kentucky Pride for sharing Pro-Palestine literature. The Jewish comrades running the table were called antisemitic by a Cincinnati Pride organizer. Many top sponsors of the festival have direct ties to the state of Israel, so it’s no surprise that organizers of Cincy Pride would suppress those who oppose the Israeli genocide of the Palestinians. Read more about Cincy Pride sponsors here.

Liberals are a Liability to the Free Palestine Movement
An overview of why we must not let liberals co-opt the Free Palestine movement. We refuse to repeat the mistakes of the Black Lives Matter movement. The liberal strategy of declaring opposition to the state and its policies without doing anything materially to challenge it must end.
