The Spartan Worker is the blog of the Michigan State University Young Communist League. The MSU Young Communist League is committed to educating ourselves and others in communist theory and combining revolutionary theory with revolutionary practice.
The Young Communist League, USA is a multi-racial, working-class organization made up of youth who believe we can build a better world. We come from a variety of backgrounds, just like the young people of our country: we are employed and unemployed workers, we are high school and college students, we are Black, white, Latino, Asian, and Native American, we are gay and straight, we are women and men.
We struggle together for a socialist USA, for jobs for youth, against racism and oppression, for peace, for women’s rights, for the right to an education for all, and more. We struggle for immediate reforms and at the same time we fight for a more fundamental revolution.

Quotes
"Democracy is the road to socialism."
-Karl Marx
“Let the ruling classes tremble at a communist revolution. The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win. Workers of The World, Unite!”
-Karl Marx
“Under socialism all will govern in turn and will soon become accustomed to no one governing.”
- V.I. Lenin
"One should always try to be as radical as reality itself."
-V.I. Lenin
"In a higher phase of communist society... only then can the narrow horizon of bourgeois right be fully left behind and society inscribe on its banners: from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs."
-Karl Marx
There is no other definition of socialism valid for us than that of the abolition of the exploitation of man by man.
-Che Guevara
Capitalists are no more capable of self-sacrifice than a man is capable of lifting himself up by his own bootstraps.
-Vladimir Lenin
“It is not the consciousness of men that determines their existence, but their social existence that determines their consciousness.”
- Karl Marx
"In our glorious fight for civil rights, we must guard against being fooled by false slogans, as 'right-to-work.' It provides no 'rights' and no 'works.' Its purpose is to destroy labor unions and the freedom of collective bargaining... We demand this fraud be stopped."
-Martin Luther King, Jr.
“Capitalism cannot reform itself; it is doomed to self-destruction. No universal selfishness can bring social good to all.”
-W.E.B. Du Bois
They talk about the failure of socialism but where is the success of capitalism in Africa, Asia and
-Fidel Castro
The class struggle and the democratic struggle are closely linked; they overlap and intertwine. However, they are not identical. The class struggle in an immediate sense pits workers against a particular company or sector at the point of production and against the capitalist class as a whole in broader social and economic struggles. The aim of the class struggle in the longer term is the winning of power in order to construct socialism. The aim of the democratic struggle is to widen the democratic space for all working people as much as possible so long as capitalism exists. The interaction of these two streams of struggle advances the struggle to the eve of socialist revolution. After a revolution, a qualitative change happens, with democracy progressing in a planned and guaranteed process in harmony with the working class as the new ruling class.
On the eve of socialism, the class struggle reaches its decisive turning point and goes beyond the limits of the democratic struggle under capitalism. The victory of socialism will open a new stage in the continual development of democracy.
