The Socialist Equality Party (SEP) held an online public meeting featuring its US presidential and vice-presidential candidates, Joseph Kishore and Jerry White, respectively. The meeting served as a platform for the candidates to outline their socialist program and respond to questions from the audience.
Kishore and White addressed the intensifying class struggles in the US and internationally, highlighting the ongoing strikes and protests against inequality and exploitation. They emphasized the SEP’s commitment to building a socialist movement to unite workers across national boundaries.
The candidates discussed the dangers of escalating war, particularly US imperialism’s role in conflicts such as the war in Ukraine and the potential for broader military confrontations. They advocated for an anti-war movement based on the international working class.
Furthermore, Kishore and White addressed domestic issues, including the erosion of democratic rights, the growing social crisis, and the need for a socialist alternative to the capitalist system. They argued that neither the Democratic nor the Republican parties offered solutions to the pressing problems facing working people.
The candidates detailed the necessity of nationalizing key industries under democratic control, expanding social programs, and ensuring a guaranteed income for all. Their proposals were rooted in a socialist perspective aimed at restructuring society to meet the needs of the working class, not the profits of the wealthy elite.
