We Stand with Chris Smalls!
In light of the woke-democrat social-imperialists of Jacobin publishing a deeply unprincipled, personal attack on Amazon Labor Organizer and Palestine Solidarity Activist Chris Smalls, the Center for Political Innovation has decided to make it clear they stand with him and admire his work.
The fact that he is calling out “socialist” AOC and Bernie Sanders for their complicity with Zionism and Imperialism is a good thing.
CPI Founder and Director Caleb Maupin made a special video message.

TRANSCRIPT:
I just have to talk about what's going on right now and the way that Jacobin and all the woke AOC liberals are going after Chris Smalls right now, because it is Bullshit. And I'll tell you why.
They're all saying things like, "Oh, what has Chris Smalls ever done? He started a union campaign at Amazon, and he got famous for doing it. They didn't actually get a union, so who does he think he is? What has he ever done?"
Well, you could say that about so many of the voices now. What did AOC ever do before she got elected to Congress? She was nobody. She just came out of nowhere, and they picked her. Suddenly she was the voice of progressive young people. She was elected to Congress, and she was a superstar.
I met AOC right before she won the primary, before she was even called AOC, and she was nobody.
And you can say the same about a lot of these folks, you know? I mean, what did Hasan Piker ever do, right? He just happened to be related to Cenk, right? What did Vaush ever do? What did ContraPoints ever do?
There is a lot of picking random people and making them famous internet voices with opinions.
Here's what's different about Chris Smalls. All of those people that they made internet-famous and turned into big voices had an arrangement. They got to be famous, and then, once they became famous, they followed the script. They said, "Vote for the Democrats," even though the Democrats are supporting Israel and its crimes, even though the Democrats have betrayed the working class.
All of these people that they made this arrangement with, and that Jacobin, the Democratic Socialists of America, and George Soros made famous, all of them followed the script.
What's different is that Chris Smalls is one of these people that they made famous. They decided to make him famous, and he is now sticking up for the truth. He is refusing to follow their script. He's calling out AOC for her support of Israel. He's calling out the Democratic Party for their wars, etc.
He's one of these people that they tried to make famous for their own reasons, and he had the courage not to follow their rules.
And that is why I absolutely admire him. And that is why the hate campaign against him by the very same people who made him famous is BULLSHIT.
