“Where is the party in opposition that has not been decried as communistic by its opponents in power? Where is the opposition that has not hurled back the branding reproach of communism, against the more advanced opposition parties,as well as against its reactionary adversaries?”

Why do liberals think the Soviet Union still exists and that Putin is a communist?

Please stop using language that suggests that people with criminal records are appropriate targets for this administration's violence. One in three adults has a criminal record. Stop playing sacrifice games with fascists. Stop surrendering entire categories of people in your own mind.

It’s important that even though the strike is over, we do NOT let this city council off the hook for the cost of the scab work done to undermine our workers’ right to strike. Philip Brown still has to go.

In April 2018, Lawrence Krauss emails Epstein about a "Women of the World Summit" happening

Krauss suggests "Let's do a men of the world conference. Kevin Spacey, Bill Clinton, Al Franken, Woody Allen"

In May 2018, Krauss retired from ASU after multiple allegations of sexual misconduct

What radicalised you?

My Dutch neighbour: "Just seeing liberalism prove time and time again to be utterly incapable of solving all the problems I care about. Once I started to learn history from Socialist sources, it became obvious that liberalism is just fascism with plausible deniability."

Thinking about this again.
My historian friend, who tends toward the apocalyptic, has been convinced for awhile that there will soon be mass riots. "What will people be rioting about?" I asked her. "Food," she said. "People will riot when they get hungry."
I wonder how much people will sit around and take

Every few years, the US govt shuts down, and this year, the ruling class wanna end programs like SNAP. Millions of working class people; the ones whose labour keep society running, are left to starve and die. And yet, nobody ever asks why the "richest country on Earth" even needs food stamps.
It’s almost like the capitalist ruling class are literally extracting surplus value from the workers. Gosh, how I wished more working class people were class conscious. 😭

Karl Marx referred to this as "surplus value" — the unpaid labour that workers create but never receive the full value for.

‘Carney himself has made no effort to conceal his intentions...

…“It’s an austerity and investment budget at the same time. And that is possible if we’re disciplined.” Of course, the brand of investment that he has in mind has nothing to do with meeting the needs of communities.’
We should never underestimate the explosive potential of Indigenous resistance in Canada. The Carney government will find that its drive to unleash polluting oil and gas projects—steamrolling over Indigenous rights in the process—is a risky proposition, writes @johncke.bsky.social.
