Joseph Kishore Is The Socialist Equality Party Presidential Candidate

By Bob Small

“The historical crisis of mankind is reduced to the crisis of the revolutionary leadership” .Leon Trotsky 1938

This quote greets you at the Facebook page of the Socialist Equality Party (SEP)

SEP has, at least, two Facebook pages.

One for each tendency, we suppose.

The SEP was formed in 1995 in a split with the Socialist Workers Party.

All you really need to know is that the SEP supports Old Leon.

See also the World Socialist Web Site – Marxist analysis, international working and Mehring Books – Mehring Books is the publishing and book …

Joseph Kishore is the SEP’s 2024 Presidential Candidate. He has been National Secretary of the SEP since 2008.

Jerry White is his running mate. He is labor editor of the World Socialist Web Site.

For information on the Macungie, Pa. truck driver who is also a member of the SEP who was in Sri Lanka defending other SEP members, see Will Lehman defends Socialist Equality Party in Sri Lanka

To understand the various schisms within the Socialists is to understand that each Socialist Party believes they have the TRUE answer. See The Heritage We Defend mentioned in The Origins of Pabloite Revisionism, the Split Within … by Kishore which in 25 printed pages clarifies the different splits between Stalinism, Putinism, and Trotskyism.

The SEP has branches in the UK and other countries. The most votes they ever received in a Presidential election was the 18,693 by Edward Winn in 1988.

If only the various Socialist Parties could agree to work together…..

This is my last Socialist Party Profile, at least for this election.

Democrats against Democracy In Pennsylvania

By Bob Small

Every election cycle in Pennsylvania, once the nomination papers are turned in — Aug. 1, this year — the objections begin to the aternative party and independent candidates. How dare they challenged the duopoly!!

This year, we note, the only challenges of this type have come from the Democratic Party.

By Democratic, we mean the Clear Choice PAC

Clear Choice was founded by Pete Kavanaugh, who was deputy manager of the Biden 2020 Campaign. They fear RFK, Jr.,the most it seems

Here is some information about Clear Choice:

FEC Disclosure Form 3X for CLEAR CHOICE PAC, INC

If you still want more email them at info@clearchoicepac.com.

Though the campaign of RFK, Jr filed some 23,000 signatures, most third-party candidates require far more names than the 5,000 needed by the Constitution, Green, and Libertarian parties. This ruling, as we understand it, only applies to those three political parties, not any other political parties nor any independent candidates.

The Clear Choice PAC is filing to block all the candidates for the Constitution Party. However, their Presidential Candidate, Randall Terry, goes around saying “The Democratic Party must be destroyed” so what do you expect.

The Libertarian Party also had their state-wide candidates challenged.

Neither of these parties had any reaction on their websites as of today.

Also being challenged are the American Solidarity Party, The Forward Party founded by Andrew Yang and the Party for Socialism and Liberation.

Only Jill Stein and the other two Green Party candidates have escaped this year’s onslaught.

Congressman Massie Co-Hosted Free And Equal Debate 3

By Bob Small

While we all expect Donald Trump to be the second President to serve two non-consecutive terms the first being Grover Cleveland –though Teddy Roosevelt should have been the second one — there’s still action along the aternative party front.

The third 2024 Free and Equal Debate was co-hosted by Republican Congressman Thomas Massie Congressman Thomas Massie and Free and Equal co-founder Christina Tobin.

Participants were Libertarian nominee Chase Oliver; Constitution Party nominee Randall Terry; and the presumptive Green Party nominee Jill Stein . The Green Party nominee won’t be officially chosen until its convention, Aug 15-18.

First some observations.

Chase Oliver is a dynamic speaker who believes in his positions. Hopefully, he’ll attain some lesser elected office and we can see how he performs. Jill Stein has some unique insights and continues to carry the green torch. Randall Terry surprised me because he was not the one issue candidate we expected of the co-founder of Operation Rescue. All three had quotable moments,.

“Remove victimless crime” to reduce our prison population, said Oliver. He also pointed out that we have not had a constituionally declared war since World War II, and wondered “How many dead babies is it worth to justify October 7th” concerning Israel.

Ms. Stein said “we need to look at how we are causing immigration in the first place” by supporting regime change

Se also said we have to be on the alert for “anti-First Amendment actions”

Terry repeatedly said that “The Democratic Party must be destroyed.”

He also said that Big Tech and Big Pharma are the new Mafia, and that the Covid lockdown was “a foretaste of Hell.”

He said that Congress should set up “a covid review committee”.

He said that Islamic Sharia law “dwarfs communism in its power to destroy” and that “You can’t improve on Moses or Jesus”

Their next, and presumably final debate, will be in September.
