Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are trying to re-engage disaffected voters who are rightly disengaged from the Democratic Party. Big rallies can’t hide the fact that the Fighting Oligarchy Tour leads misguided people right back to oligarchy.

The ADOS and FBA (American Descendants of Slavery and Foundational Black Americans) movements have gained influence by advocating for reparations exclusively for Black Americans descended from U.S. slavery while promoting a divisive, anti-immigrant, and reactionary ideology. ADOS/FBA’s ideology is a dangerous diversion from true liberation. To achieve justice, Black radicals must reject this reactionary faction and reaffirm anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist, and Pan-African solidarity.
