Lesson of Puerto Rico: Mass Action in the Streets Can Quickly Succeed Where Elections Won’t

If we want radical change, our message to one another must be “Take it to the streets!” We must do as the people of Puerto Rico have done. With a general strike, the Puerto Rican people ousted a woman-hating, homophobic, racist, capitalist governor who is owned by the international banks. We need to follow in the radical, militant footsteps of the Puerto Rican people, instead of thinking the Democratic Party, or individuals, will do it for us.
