As a professional observer of politics, how would you rate the magnitude of this conduct in relation to the conduct of Kemi Badenoch, Nigel Farage & Kier Starmer? I mean obviously having been a notorious nazi at school or being a genocide apologist are apples & oranges, but you could estimate?
Anyway, something to be said for being a librarian and teacher rather than a lawyer as the other predominant pre-revolutionary profession.
Also something to add to the world-historical tasks of the proletariat; come up with an adequate replacement for 'big beards'
Agreed, out of the 'big beards' Mao requires least prior philosophical education. On Practice and On Contradiction possibly the succinctest explanation of diamat available.
To paraphrase Kwame Ture, their bigotry is their problem. Their power to inflict their terrible ideas on the rest of us is our problem.
This new cycle of violence was all too predictable. For months, Israeli officials had signalled an escalation of their campaign against Hezbollah. Despite a ceasefire that ended a devastating 13-month war in 2024, Israel had continued with its bombing of Lebanon almost every day, saying the group was trying to rebuild its capabilities. Hezbollah, however, had remained quiet, aware that any move would inevitably be met with a powerful retaliation.
Interesting admission by BBC
Honestly no one specific thing above the fact that I never felt anything I was supposed to be feeling in church or praying. The closest things ive ever had to spiritual experiences happened when I was an adult long after my materialism was settled.
Blue MAGA stuff.
They desperately dont want to waste the work done on grooming him for leader. He's obviously been fatally wounded by his connection to Mandelson, but they're going to pretend it's enemy action.
I'm told some Labour MPs are unhappy with this latest act of hostility towards trans people being blamed on Streeting. That feels silly or naïve. It's happening because Wesley kept in place in the NHS, indeed encouraged, the ideologues that Kemi Badenoch *told us* she introduced to key positions.
It's a really small and insignificant point, but I truly believe that one ancillary benefit of world socialism is that it will be capable of making good star wars movies.
It was funny to see, I don't even remember which US newspaper it was anymore, but an obit of Ali Khamenei said something to the effect of "he lived a paranoid life in which he believed the US and Israel were out to kill him, which eventually happened"
Exclusive: the progressive voters abandoning Labour Daily Politics Daily Politics from the New Statesman > ٠١٠٠٠ ٠ • 17m Labour is losing the voters it used to count on, a new study reveals. In the aftermath of the Green Party's triumph in the Gorton and Denton by-election, and with local elections in London councils and other major cities coming up, Labour is losing the left progressive voters it could once rely on having "nowhere else to go". Now, the biggest study ever of these voters - shared exclusively with the New Statesman - reveals the true risk to Labour's future of leaving them behind. This work, done by surveying 10,000 voters and a randomised control trial style approach, has found out who the so-called progressive defectors are, why they're deserting Labour, and what impact this could have on Labour's electoral prospects.
Worrying news at the NS podcast, where the lads have discovered millions of younger, mostly educated left/lib people get all upset and offended if you relentlessly insult them, tell them to fuck off and implement policies that they find appalling.
I forgot about this post and remembered it today thinking about Ruben Rey Martinez, Renee Nicole Good, and Alex Preti.
It's really weird watching a Jamelle Bouie discourse that doesn't mention the original Jamelle Bouie shit which is that after October 7th he just shut the fuck up about Palestine until 2024 when mainstream Democrats started saying it was ok to talk about
Moreover, ICE must be destroyed
seriously: Muhammad Ali was willing to go to prison to avoid the military; the least you can do is tell the recruiter to shove that gi bill up his ass
Quite literally just saw an argument that the military represents an opportunity for the marginalised to climb out of poverty as if the choice to secure your future by serving the empire that oppresses you and yours, at the expense of the colonised, is in any way morally exculpatory.
Remember this?
“If you take out Saddam, I guarantee you it will have enormously positive impact in the region"
A million people died, an entire society was destroyed in a War based on a complete lie.

Hahaha one of the few things left they can do which will diminish their base yet further.
The mass of weaponry being used by Trump right now grew and grew as a bipartisan endeavor.
She's fucking stupid then.
There's a cafe near me that does them quartered and fried and I discovered the other day that this works well with them out of a can, which is concerning for the health of my overall diet
Some of yall are getting a little too comfortable with your antisemitism that yall are trying to cloak around being anti-impearlist.
The thing a lot of the war hungry sickos in the media and political world miss, is that many, many of the white working class and this includes the racist ones, hate the idea of war in the middle east.
There's no courage or sacrifice in a war of aggression led by a fool and coward.
I'm a tranny who used to write for the Guardian. I quit in 2015.
Jamelle Bouie should quit the NYT.
There are schools on military bases around the world. Soldiers have families and children.
Which is why I specified I was talking about a reactionary political movement in India which is ethnically and religiously chauvanist, not India the country.
