Bob McCubbin on LGBTQ+ liberation and Marxist organizing – Struggle – La Lucha

From left to right, Marxist organizers Leslie Feinberg, Dorothy Ballan, and Sam Marcy, 1991. Ballan wrote about feminism and Marxism while F

Gregory Williams:  So, after Stonewall, you came to a point where you felt you needed to come out. What was it like when you came out as a member of a revolutionary party? Was it difficult?

Bob McCubbin: I would say it didn’t change anything. What do I mean by that? I was already in the party, and Sam Marcy characterized the party as a combat organization. And within the world that we were living in at that time, a world with incredibly inspiring anti-colonial struggles and everything else progressive that was going on – and again, being in what Sam Marcy characterized as a combat organization – there was a lot of discipline, but it was self-discipline.

Honor Aaron Bushnell, free Palestine!

U.S. Air Force soldier Aaron Bushnell self-immolated on Feb. 25 in Washington, D.C., to protest the U.S.-Israeli war on Gaza. He did so in front of the embassy of the apartheid state that occupies Palestine.

“I wish someone as courageous, honorable and human as Aaron Bushnell did not have to die. The tragedy we’re seeing in Gaza is a horror that is so painful for the world that many in solidarity will do all they can to make it stop,” announced John Parker, socialist candidate in California’s 37th Congressional district.

“Aaron Bushnell was so frustrated by this genocide that he felt the only way to make it stop was to take his own life while wearing his uniform, to make the world pay attention to U.S. complicity in Israel’s crimes. He felt so deeply about the more than 10,000 children murdered by U.S.-made bombs and shells,” Parker explained.

“Joe Biden’s $14 billion assistance to further Israel’s genocide increases his war crimes and the complicity of the United States, as was clarified in the International Court of Justice decision in the case brought by the South African government."

Hundreds marched in the streets of Washington, D.C., under the banner of the Resist NATO Coalition, initiated by the International League of Peoples Struggle U.S. Chapter.

Andre Powell of the Baltimore Peoples Power Assembly proclaimed: “The trillions and I say trillions spent on the U.S. state apparatus which includes not only NATO, U.S. military bases, AFRICOM, the CIA, the FBI, and every rotten fascist cop in every city and rural area — could provide for our people!”

Inside the Bay Area’s Gay Liberation Front with Bob McCubbin – Struggle – La Lucha

A Gay Liberation Front march in Times Square in the fall of 1969. Following is part two of an interview with gay communist activist Bob McCu

Let me try to describe the San Francisco Gay Liberation Front. We met once a week to discuss activities. One of the Gay Liberation Front organization’s tasks was to join the struggle – struggle for their own rights and the struggle for the rights of their siblings, while also struggling for other members of their class. And we did. 

I remember making a banner to free Angela Davis and Ruchell McGee, and we took it, as the Gay Liberation Front, to the following rally. And we’re talking the Bay Area, San Francisco Bay Area. So we were activists, no question about it.

Did you know? There are no homeless people in Cuba. No landlords, foreclosures, or evictions

By Struggle-La Lucha

You heard that right. No one in Cuba is living in the streets, in tents, or sleeping in cars at Walmart parking lots — scraping by without health care, regular showers, clean water, food, or even toilets. That is not to say that there isn’t a housing problem in Cuba.  There is a housing shortage. Cuba is tackling building more housing for its people. This is extremely difficult because the 60-year U.S. blockade makes it impossible for Cuba to import needed materials. So there are instances where people live with relatives, and there is a need to improve existing housing. But housing is a right.

Harlem May Day: Unite to fight racism and capitalism

By Greg Butterfield 

On May 1 — International Workers’ Day — Black, Puerto Rican, Asian and white workers rallied at Harlem’s Africa Square for healthcare, housing and education, to release political prisoners and stop police terror, and to struggle together against their common enemy, the capitalist ruling class.

The May Day speak-out was called by the People’s United Front. The main demands were: “Justice for all victims of racism and police terror,” “Free all political prisoners” and “Reparations now.” Organizers said they hope to make May Day in Harlem an annual event.
