Racism has been the key divide within the US working-class and therefore any strategy for a socialist transformation of society must include a strategy for fighting racism and overcoming this division within the working-class. At the same time, the Black struggle has often played a key radicalizing role in the United States, displaying a level of militancy that has posed a real challenge to the system.

Protests have been rising in the face of austerity measures on working-class livelihoods, environmental degradation, right-wing bigotry and hate crimes. Yet the so-called "party of the people", the Democrats, continues to align its principles with corporate dollars and backs down when Glenn Beck and the right speak up to bash immigrants, LGBT, and Muslim people.
