It’s hard to foment revolution when you’re getting overthrown by your own comrades. Over the past few months, Providence’s revolutionary socialists have faced multiple charges of insubordination from their own organization. On February 17, the International Socialist Organization (ISO) expelled the Renewal Faction, a group formed last November to challenge a perceived lack of democracy, transparency, and effective strategy within the ISO. The Faction includes many members of the ISO’s Providence branch, a member of the Brown University campus branch, and a few members from Cambridge and other cities. With more than 80 branches in states throughout the country, the ISO is one of the largest US-based organizations with a mission to “participate in struggles for justice and liberation” in the present with the ultimate goal of bringing about a worker-led socialist revolution. The organization’s recent split brings to light complex questions facing members of the radical left concerning how to move a nation beset with class inequality toward a revolution.
