While the US capitalist class is in a political crisis, so is the US working class. That crisis of the working class is largely due to a 75-year campaign against class consciousness This campaign that has been carried out by the union leadership, among others. In a nutshell, it is summarized by the historical absence of a mass working class party in the US. Such a party is most likely to develop out of the movement itself. However, individual workers’ candidates – ones that run independent of and opposed to both capitalist parties – can also play a role. It is in this context that I am thinking of running as the Oaklandsocialist candidate for mayor here in Oakland in 2022. Here are some ideas on how such a campaign could fit into the bigger picture and what it could and could not accomplish.
