Texas Scorecard by Adam Cahn December 2, 2020
The council member’s staffer said out loud what was long suspected.Texas Scorecard has previously documented the self-described “vulgar Marxist†views of Jacob Aronowitz, the field director for Democrat Austin City Councilmember Jimmy Flannigan’s re-election campaign. These views include Aronowitz’s anti-law enforcement sentiments and repeated accusations of his political opponents’ alleged “Nazidom.†Now, Aronowitz is back.
In a recent online discussion with fellow leftists, Aronowitz revealed where the current runoff for Austin City Council District 6 (far-northwest Austin) fits in with his long-term plans:
“[A] big piece you either don’t know or are intentionally ignoring is that comrades and I have formed a campaign workers’ union, and we work on & run these campaigns as organized workers with class consciousness and a plan for revolutionary change,†wrote Aronowitz.
“Organizing workers where they are & educating them about socialism through struggle on the shop floor are basically the fundamentals of revolutionary leftist organizing,†he continued.
“Already… we exert considerable political influence at least locally,†he added. “Does that mean we have the power to elect explicit leftists to every branch of local government? Well, not yet, but quite obviously, we are much further along toward building a base of militated workers than quite a few socialists in the city. Our union is strong, radical, and growing.â€
The “campaign workers’ union†to which Aronowitz referred is a company called Collective Campaigns, which works on behalf of candidates on the furthest left fringe of the Democrat Party. The group has had minimal success outside of Austin-area Travis County.
