An avowedly Communist revolutionary group with ties to a China-linked
Marxist funding network has been at the forefront of organizing nationwide protests opposing illegal immigration crackdowns by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) including protests which spiraled into violent riots in parts of Los Angeles.
The Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL) which openly calls for revolution to bring down the current American system and which publicly sympathizes with murderous Communist regimes has been a leader in
organizing and fueling anti-ICE demonstrations in LA as well as in other
cities nationwide.
President Donald Trump activated elements of the California National Guard
to help quell the anti-ICE violence in Los Angeles. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Marines stationed at Camp Pendleton are being deployed to
restore order as well.
First Amendment or a Right to Riot?
Stop the raids! National Guard OUT of LA! PSL said in a lengthy Sunday statement. The National Guard deployment is a desperate attempt to
intimidate people out of exercising their First Amendment rights. If they
can get away with it in Los Angeles, then that will only embolden the
Trump administration to use greater and greater repressive force all
across the country, against any expression of dissent regardless of the
issue in question. For those who believe in immigrant rights, for those
who believe in democracy, for the entire working class now is the time
to take to the streets in protest!
If I didnt SEND IN THE TROOPS to Los Angeles the last three nights,
that once beautiful and great City would be burning to the ground right
now, Trump said on his Truth Social account on Tuesday.
PSL has also been running a Dont Open for ICE campaign in both English
and Spanish, which says, Dont let Trump and ICE win without a fight!
Papers or not, everyone has certain rights they can use when an agent is
trying to deport them. We are workers with dignity and we deserve to stay
where we are.
The leadership and activities of PSL are closely tied to far-left groups bolstered by the financial network of wealthy Marxist businessman Neville
Roy Singham, who sold his ThoughtWorks tech company in 2017 and has used
the money to fund openly Communist endeavors globally.
A Communist Incubator
Singham has been described as a comrade of and is a financial backer
of the Peoples Forum, a Marxist revolutionary group based in New York
City. The group calls itself a movement incubator for working class and marginalized communities to build unity across historic lines of division
at home and abroad.
That incubation has been integral to backing the illegal Columbia
University encampments and the protests for Mahmoud Khalil, as Just the
News detailed in multiple extensive investigative reports. The forum and
PSL share a number of connections. Singham has also financially backed a
number of other Marxist groups with links to PSL.
We are united in our belief that capitalism the system in which all
wealth and power is held by a tiny group of billionaires and their state
is the source of the main problems confronting humanity today, PSL says
on their website. It must be replaced by socialism.
PSL did not respond to a request for comment from Just the News. Singham
did not respond to a request for comment sent to him by Just the News
through his ThoughtWorks company website.
The PSL says it has dozens of chapters nationwide and it has activated
them to combat the Trump administrations efforts to crack down on illegal immigration.
PSL and the Violent Riots in Los Angeles
PSL played a key role in organizing some of LAs anti-ICE protests and demonstrations this weekend. Photographs taken by the Los Angeles Times
show some of the signs waved by protesters were reportedly produced by
PSL.
The people of Los Angeles and surrounding areas have taken a courageous
stand against Trumps reign of terror targeting immigrant families. In response, the administration has falsely labeled those taking to the
streets in protest of the brutal war on immigrants as rioters and called
in thousands of National Guard soldiers for a crackdown, PSL said in a
long screed on Monday.
But the people are not deterred in Los Angeles and across the country, protest is continuing with even more determination. This could be a
turning point where the entire working class unites to push back Trumps efforts to shred our basic rights and dignity.
The Communist group had tweeted on Friday that thousands march in Los
Angeles against a blitz of multiple ICE raids and included video of the demonstration.
PSL tweeted on Sunday about MASS MOBILIZATION. ICE OUT OF LA. NATIONAL
GUARD GO AWAY. It then organized a demonstration that day outside LA City Hall.
The group then shared numerous videos of the anti-ICE rallies across the
city, with numerous captions putting PSLs slant on the days events: The people continue to righteously stand up for justice for immigrant
communities in the face of growing state repression! Thousands in Los
Angeles have made clear that they will continue to stand up for immigrant families against deportations, even in the face of growing repression! Thousands have taken the highway and halted traffic in LA to send the
Trump administration a powerful message that the people demand an end to
the war being waged on immigrant communities. Cops in full riot gear
deployed against protesters in LA demanding an end to deportations.
PSL continued its efforts on Monday, tweeting that thousands are rallying
in downtown LA against ICE, as the agency continues to terrorize the
people of Los Angeles, kidnapping our neighbors, friends and families.
PSL Also Leads Anti-ICE Protests Elsewhere
PSL has also organized, hosted, or participated in multiple other anti-ICE protests and demonstrations elsewhere in California including San
Francisco, Sacramento, and Fresno and across the country.
On its social media accounts, PSL touted such anti-ICE demonstrations held
in the Texas cities of Austin and Houston; in the Ohio cities of Cleveland
and Columbus; in Providence, Rhode Island; in Chicago, Illinois; and in Washington, DC.
It was reported by Breitbart News that PSL organized an anti-ICE protest
in San Antonio, Texas and the outlet noted the signs provided and
carried by PSL members in San Antonio were identical to those held by PSL members in the Los Angeles demonstrations.
Media outlets have noted PSLs role in other anti-ICE protests in Texas, including in Dallas, Waco, and San Antonio. The media has also reported on PSLs role in such demonstrations in Louisville, Kentucky, and Raleigh,
North Carolina. PSL said on Instagram that it was planning demonstrations
in Richmond, Virginia later this week. The group is also reportedly
planning an anti-ICE rally in Anchorage, Alaska this weekend.
The Marxist group also issued a lengthy statement on Monday criticizing
the broad sweep of the illegal immigration crackdown dubbed Operation
Tidal Wave carried out by ICE in coordination with Gov. Ron DeSantis (R- Fla.).
Ive insisted that Florida be the tip of the spear when it comes to state support of federal immigration enforcement, DeSantis said in May. The
success of Operation Tidal Wave is proof of our commitment.
PSL was not pleased.
PSLs Ties to the CCP-Linked Funding Network Exposed
PSL is closely tied to a number of groups which are part of Neville
Singhams funding network, including the Marxist-oriented Peoples Forum,
the far-left BreakThrough News media outlet, and Singhams Justice and Education Fund.
The Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI), which says its platform
plays a critical role in the identification and forecasting of emerging threats to the U.S., assessed last year that PSL shares considerable
fiscal and personnel connections with members of the Singham Network
donor portfolio.
The Peoples Forum is a Marxist revolutionary group that is pro-Communism, pro-China, and anti-Israel. The group has produced dozens of what it
describes as teaching materials, many of them pro-CCP. The forum tagged
PSL on Twitter in March in a post about upcoming protests on All Out for Mahmoud Khalil and Shut It Down For Palestine.
The NCRI argued last year that 2024 the Peoples Forum is closely allied
with PSL. Brian Becker is reportedly a founding member of PSL as well as
a national organizer for the far-left ANSWER Coalition. He is also listed
as an instructor on the Peoples Forum website, where he has taught
classes on Lenin and the Path to Revolution and the History of the
Communist Manifesto.
What part of Marxs diagnosis of capitalism is not correct? Becker asked rhetorically on Twitter in 2023.
Beckers X account describes him as Director @answercoalition [ANSWER Coalition], a founder of @pslweb [the Party for Socialism and Liberation],
and show host of @TheSocProgram [the Socialist Program].
The Heritage Foundation assessed in 2024 that another Singham-funded
group, ANSWER, is a front operation for the Party for Socialism and Liberation.
Marxist leader Claudia De La Cruz said in a 2024 interview about her
campaign as the PSL nominee to be U.S. president that I co-founded and co-directed the Peoples Forum. The forum says that De la Cruz is a
central committee member of The Party for Socialism and Liberation and
that in 2018, she co-founded The Peoples Forum. De La Cruz is listed as
a director at the forum in tax records.
The tax forms for BreakThrough Media show that many of the groups top
leaders are all tied to PSL as well.
The NCRI also detailed more deep links between PSL and Singhams Marxist efforts in its report last year, noting that BT Media was founded in 2020
by Ben Becker, a founding member of PSL and that the key offices and editorial team of BT News are likewise dominated by PSL members.
This includes De La Cruz serving as BT Medias Secretary and Director, as
well as PSLs candidate for the 2024 Presidential election; Karla Reyes serving as BT Medias Chair and Director and De la Cruzs 2024 PSL Presidential campaign running mate; Yari Osorio serving as BT Medias Treasurer and Director and PSLs 2012 Vice-Presidential candidate; and
Eugene Puryear serving as BT Medias Host and Producer and also running
as a PSL Vice-Presidential candidate in 2008 and 2016.
The group assessed that the degree of overlap between BT Media and PSL on their executive and editorial teams is so significant that one can easily conclude that the former is functionally serving as a mouthpiece for the latter.
The far-left BreakThrough News has shared anti-ICE content in recent days
that is similar to and sometimes identical to that shared by PSL, and BreakThrough has promoted PSLs work directly multiple times. Network
Contagion reported PSL founding member Ben Becker as having founded BreakThrough in 2020.
The Network Contagion released a 2024 report which found that BT Media is known for promoting pro-CCP geopolitical interests through its outlet BreakThrough News, shares numerous fiscal and organizational connections
with other core organizations of the Singham Network.
The Peoples Forum also provided grants to BT Media in 2021 and 2022, in addition to significant financial support that BT Media received from
other Singham-linked entities, the report found, and these grants
account for a substantial portion of BT Medias revenue, which nearly
doubled year-over-year from $253,000 in 2020 to a total of $951,000 in
2022.
The Heritage Foundation also assessed last year that BreakThrough News exemplifies the internal coordination among all the tentacles of the
Singham network and of the ecosystem in general.
A Torrent of Dark Money
BreakThrough News is also part of the International Peoples Media
Network, which describes itself as a network of independent media
projects from across the globe that collaborate, working collectively to
uplift peoples voices and stories.
A report by the Daily Beast revealed that all of the International
Peoples Media Networks affiliates appear to drink from the same
torrent of dark money pouring out of the bank accounts and nonprofits of
tech mogul Neville Roy Singham. The outlet said that filings submitted
to the Internal Revenue Service and the New York State Charities Bureau
show BreakThrough News is a nonprofit that has drawn the bulk of its
funding from the Justice and Education Fund.
The outlet said PSL appears as an allied group to the International
Peoples Media Network on its webpage.
The Peoples Forum and BreakThrough News also list themselves as sharing
the same address in New York City. New Lines Magazine describes
BreakThrough News as being housed within The Peoples Forum New York
office.
The Free Beacon previously also reported that key leaders for the Peoples Forum serve in top positions at Singhams Justice and Education Fund.
The forums executive director, Manolo De Los Santos, is also listed as
the director and secretary at the fund, according to tax records.
De Los Santos is affiliated with PSL as well, and has been featured at
events promoted by PSL and has written articles shared on the PSL website.
PSL and the Communist Revolution in America
The Program of the Party for Socialism and Liberation essentially
PSLs political platform declares that the groups members are Marxists
in the United States. The platform is heavy on calls for Communist
revolution.
Capitalism cannot be voted out of power it will take a revolution, PSL says, adding, The Party for Socialism and Liberation is dedicated to
building a revolutionary workers party in the United States [] For the working class, revolution is a necessity and a right. The most brutal
aspects of capitalism will not go away unless there is a socialist
revolution. Only a revolution can do away with the rule of the capitalists
once and for all.
The far-left groups 2024 presidential platform opposed essentially all
U.S. foreign policy efforts to confront U.S. adversaries.
The new Cold War against China and Russia must end, along with associated aggression like the proxy war in Ukraine, massive military shipments to
Taiwan, or any and all military build up against any targeted nation, PSL said. The vast network of military bases the Pentagon maintains in other countries should be immediately closed. We demand the abolition of the
NATO military alliance and AFRICOM. Cruel economic sanctions imposed on countries around the world including Cuba, Venezuela, Zimbabwe, Eritrea, North Korea and Iran must be lifted. All U.S. aid to apartheid Israel
must immediately end.
PSLs Liberation School
The Communist group also hosts an online Liberation School which it says
is an educational site for activists and fighters.
In addition to in-depth articles, analysis, and Party documents,
Liberation School features a growing number of online courses as well as
study and discussion guides to help a new generation of revolutionaries
learn, study, and apply Marxist theory, PSL says.
There are dozens of lessons under the category of Fundamentals of
Marxism and dozens of lessons under the category of Marxist Theory as
well as more than a dozen lessons under the category of The Soviet
Union.
PSL says that in one lesson Lenin and the Path to Revolution PSLs
Becker teaches the life and legacy of Lenin, the formation of Leninism,
and the revolutionary paths it generated across the world.
Becker also put together a lesson for PSL and the Peoples Forum on The History of the Communist Manifesto.
Travel with The Peoples Forum through a time machine to when the
Communist Manifesto was written! the website says. You will learn about
the political and economic forces that made writing the Manifesto not only possible, but necessary. This text created international and timeless
ripples, inspiring the masses to organize themselves to fight for a
worker-led society across the world.
PSL Embraces Communist Dictatorships
The far-left group has also celebrated a number of Communist dictators.
PSL has praised the Chinese Communist Partys takeover of China. Victory
would have been unimaginable without the existence of the Chinese
Communist Party and the extraordinary military it created, the Peoples Liberation Army, PSLs website says. The CCP-led government charted a
course to build a new, socialist society.
Becker, the co-founder of PSL, also wrote a piece for the communist
groups website attempting to whitewash the Tiananmen Square Massacre of
1989.
The hysteria generated about the Tiananmen Square massacre was based on
a fictitious narrative about what actually happened when the Chinese
government finally cleared the square of protestors on June 4, 1989,
Becker claims. The demonization of China was highly effective. Nearly all sectors of U.S. society, including most of the left, accepted the
imperialist presentation of what happened.
PSL has also repeatedly declared its love for Communist-led Cuba, writing
in January, We stand with the Cuban Revolution! Today, on the 66th anniversary of the victory of the great Cuban Revolution, we in the Party
for Socialism and Liberation send our warm greetings and solidarity to the Cuban people.
PSLs Marxist Liberation Merch Store
Despite being avowedly Marxist, PSL still features a Liberation merch
online store. Some of the merchandise is fairly standard leftwing fare: a Cancel the Rent poster, a Build Schools Not Prisons hat, and Freedom
for Palestine gear. But much of it displays the groups Communist and revolutionary aims.
There are Paul Robeson t-shirts available for purchase. Robeson a famous far-leftist supported and funded Communist-led organizations,
according to the African American Intellectual History Society.
A Revolutionary Study poster shows a woman reading The Communist
Manifesto by Karl Marx, a banner in her home featuring vicious dictators Vladimir Lenin and Joseph Stalin, a picture in her home featuring the
Communist hammer and sickle, and a book by American Communist Angela
Davis.
A poster declaring that The Future is Communist! features a small child dressed as a CCP red guard or a Peoples Liberation Army soldier.
And there is a hand-designed poster uplifting Vietnamese anti-colonial revolutionary leader and fighter Nguyen Thi Binh. The National Museum of American History said that she was a Vietnamese communist leader and politician who negotiated at the Paris Peace Conference on behalf of the
Viet Cong.
PSLs Pro-Hamas Stance
PSL is openly hostile to Israel and defended the Hamas terrorist attacks
which murdered hundreds of innocent civilians on October 7, 2023. The unrelenting oppression, murder, torture and occupation carried out by the Israeli apartheid regime has precipitated a counter-offensive by
Palestinian resistance forces. The false terrorism label is being
applied to the Palestinian people, the Communist group said the day of
the deadly jihadist attack.
The PSL also says: Resistance to apartheid and fascist-type oppression is
not a crime! It is the inevitable outcome for all people who demand self- determination rather than living with the boot-heel of the oppressors on
their necks.
PSL said on the one-year anniversary of the Hamas attacks that one year
ago, a mass movement in solidarity with Palestine emerged in the United
States that transformed the political landscape of this country The Party
for Socialism and Liberation joins with so many other people around the
world in this commitment: we will keep up the struggle until the
occupation falls and Palestine is free from the river to the sea!
Backing Away From Elias Rodriguez
Elias Rodriguez, the confessed murderer of two Israeli Embassy staff
members in the nations capital in May, had a previous association with
one of PSLs local chapters.
This brutal, anti-Semitic violence has no place in our country or
anywhere in civilization, Attorney General Pamela Bondi said last month
when announcing murder charges. We will follow the facts and secure the
most severe possible punishment for the perpetrator of this heinous crime, which robbed two wonderful young people of a bright future together.
Rodriguez shot and killed Yaron Lischinsky, an Israeli national, and Sarah
Lynn Milgrim, an American citizen, on the street outside an event for the American Jewish Committee. He reportedly shouted I did this for Gaza.
Free Palestine. Theres only one solution, intifada revolution after the shooting.
In a 2017 article on PSLs Liberation News website, Rodriguez was
reportedly photographed at a protest holding signs distributed by ANSWER Coalition Chicago, and Rodriguez was quoted and described as being a
member of PSL. The article has since been deleted, and PSL has denied any association with the murderer.
We reject any attempt to associate the PSL with the DC shooting, PSL
tweeted on May 22.
Elias Rodriguez is not a member of the PSL. He had a brief association
with one branch of the PSL that ended in 2017. We know of no contact with
him in over 7 years. We have nothing to do with this shooting and do not support it.
Neville Comrade Singham
PSLs links to Singhams funding network are not surprising the tech billionaire is a true Marxist.
For months weve been the target of a campaign that alleges our funding
comes from dark money. A few years ago we met Roy Singham, a Marxist
comrade who sold his company & donated most of his wealth to non-profits
that focus on political education, culture, & internationalism, the
Peoples Forum tweeted in December 2021.
Singham married Jodie Evans, the co-founder of the radical left-wing group
Code Pink, in 2017. Her group touts itself as antiwar and has become increasingly pro-China in recent years.
The New York Times reported that Singham works in Shanghai, that his
efforts there are linked to the CCP, and that he has attended at least one
CCP workshop on promoting the party globally.
The outlet also said Singham shares offices with a Chinese media company
called Maku Group. The Chinese groups About Us page which has since
been deleted but which was archived by the Wayback Machine in 2023 says
the goal of the company is to promote a positive vision of China
worldwide.
Singham also wrote that he had served on the Central Committee from the
League of Revolutionary Black Workers. The league, according to the
Marxists Internet Archive, played a key role in inspiring the Black
Liberation Movement and spreading Marxist-Leninist ideas among Black
workers and workers in general. Singham reportedly worked as a strategic technical consultant with the Chinese government-linked Chinese telecom
giant Huawei from 2001 to 2008, according to New Lines Magazine.
Then-senator and now Secretary of State Marco Rubio told the Biden Justice Department that it appears that organizations tied to Neville Roy
Singham, a U.S. citizen, have been receiving direction from the CCP.
I categorically deny and repudiate any suggestion that I am a member of,
work for, take orders from, or follow instructions of any political party
or government or their representatives, Singham told The New York Times
in 2023. I am solely guided by my beliefs, which are my long-held
personal views.

November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump. We look
forward to America being great again.
We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that
stupid people won't be offended.
Every day is an IQ test. Some pass, some, not so much.
Thank you for cleaning up the disasters of the 2008-2017, 2020-2024 Obama
/ Biden / Harris fiascos, President Trump.
Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
