Communist Workers Platform USA (CWPUSA): How MAGA and “Progressivism” Obscure the Struggle for Socialism In recent weeks, the Democratic Socialists of America has claimed a handful of electoral “victories.” In New York’s 7th and 13th Districts covering Queens, Brooklyn, and the Bronx, candidates Claire Valdez and Darializa Avila Chevalier defeated the Democratic Party old guard in the primaries.

They were sold as the tools of progress: modern seeds, bigger harvests, prosperity. Even as European and US regulators banned or restricted these chemicals at home, Mboroki kept spraying them, unaware they could be poisoning him. Today his doctors believe those pesticides caused the throat cancer slowly consuming his body.
