Abolitionists waged war on the two party oligarchy. Jenna Grove suggests we can learn from their forgotten triumph.
"It's looming before us: the dark road ahead. A world choked by fires and floods, ashes and dust, hatred and death. Even the best of us are afraid to express hope. It’s out of style. Instead, we embrace dark irony and bitter laughter, dragging our feet through a life designed to crush our will. How can a small movement challenge the Leviathan? How can it find strength in its independence? How can it topple a power that seems omnipotent and achieve a revolution? In 2024, these tasks may seem hopelessly difficult to socialists in the United States. But defying the powerful has never been easy, and we will always have lessons to learn from our predecessors. One of the most important, yet also misunderstood, is the American abolitionist movement."
