Socialist Horizon was launched on August 20, 2024 at a meetup held in Chicago during the protests against the Democratic Party’s continued funding and execution of the Israeli genocide against the Palestinian people. The call to meet was made to analyze and oppose capitalism and the bourgeois two-party system, to oppose US imperialism and genocide in Palestine and support full Palestinian liberation, as well as to understand and prepare for resisting the drive towards global war. There was a further emphasis on the urgent need to begin to organize with working class people to engage directly in class struggle and develop working class organizers, leaders, and fighters.

The meeting was attended by over 40 people, representing several different organizations as well as individuals in different parts of the country. There was a consensus that we need to begin to build an ‘organization of organizations’ as well as involve individuals who are interested in getting organized in their locales.

Special emphasis was placed on the need to build solidarity between socialists and organizations as a means to create trust, to develop and apply Marxist theory and analysis to the struggles in which we are engaged, and to construct a democratic and non-sectarian organizing method and political culture in which all members and participants fell welcomed, are included, and feel confident to contribute in our collective organizing processes.

Socialist Horizon affiliated with the International Socialist League in 2025, and is currently working to organize Socialist Horizon-affiliated locals in different cities and regions in the US. We are also working with other groups and individuals who are committed to building a renewed revolutionary socialist organization that can regroup revolutionaries into a larger unified force to engage in the class struggles of today and tomorrow. ...

The amusing thing about the left is that being natural power hungry narcissists, each and every one of them seems to have a belief that they are leadership material, so they tend to create their own individual organizations to lead, so much so that I would not be surprised if there are at least as many socialist organizations as there are socialists...and probably even more than their numbers could justify. I figure the bipolar ones have at least one self-led organization for each personality.
