Our approach to advancing liberatory strategy today is based on two assessments:
1) we live in a period of unsustainable instability, causing broad sections of society to realign; and
2) our primary objective of this moment must be to build a broad front and a strengthened Left to break the power of the Authoritarian Right Front—before they consolidate their power and fundamentally remake the terrain of struggle.
We invite our fellow leftists to engage our core strategy documents and learn more about how we see a path toward liberation and our role in it. Whether you agree with us or not, we invite you to work together to build a more strategic, intentional, powerful US Left.
The Authoritarian Right has broken through. Now what is to be done? The 2026 elections cycle is a critical moment for the Left to join a broad front to stop the Authoritarian Right Front’s consolidation of power, by winning Democratic majorities and defending those wins against Republican attacks.
How will we win socialism? A liberatory strategy is a theory for how we move from current conditions through successive phases towards socialism. Read to learn our vision of a liberated society, assessment of the system, and strategy for socialist liberation in our current time, place and conditions.
North Star’s first Movement Mission, published in the summer of 2024, called on Leftists to adopt a “Block the Right and Build the Left” orientation in the coming period, to defeat Donald Trump’s bid for the presidency and block the consolidation of the Authoritarian Right.
