    Came across this today, something by what is called the Marxist Unity Group. This is active within the Democratic Socialist Alliance, which is currently making big waves in the USA…

    It is interesting that MUG talks of adhering to a minimum-maximum programme, reviving the kind of language of the old Second International, which collapsed after the First World War. MUG will not get anywhere for the same reason that the Second International got nowhere, but at least there is an explicit reference to a post-capitalist society, which is rarely to be found among Leftist parties

    “Marxist Unity Group works towards adopting a minimum-maximum program for DSA. We view both the “minimum” and “maximum” program as essential. The minimum program refers to the party’s comprehensive platform: the policies that it will immediately implement upon taking power to establish working-class political rule and place society on the path of a socialist transition out of capitalism. The maximum program refers to the results of this process: a world free of the market, borders, classes, and all other oppressive structures that exist under capitalism—in a word, communism. Centering programmatic politics will restore the sense of unity and purpose that socialists enjoyed during the Sanders campaigns. However, our program will have much more ambitious aims, and instead of belonging to a single candidate, it will be developed democratically by the entire socialist movement.”
