I suggest Jeremy Corbyn and anyone else (maybe Palestine protesters or striking workers and unions) immediately sue the BBC for the same misrepresentations, slanders and smears. Or is this path only available to the ruling class? www.rte.ie/news/uk/2025... #Trump #News #UK #USA #Business #January6

Regarding the capitalist class:

"You begin with interest, you proceed with awe and admiration, you deepen into hatred, and you wind up with contempt for the nature of the beast. You realise that – The Capitalist Class is the Meanest Class that ever grasped the Reins of Power."
- James Connolly

Michael Parenti wrote about “rational fascism”. Rational fascism contradicts the idea, generally held. that fascism was an act of one-off, uniquely German insanity. Rather, he showed that capitalists supported fascism in order to boost their profitability and to counter working-class politics.

The hijacking and weaponisation of antisemitism is nothing new - it has been happening for a hundred years.

Orwell, Education and Bigotry
Suggestions that “education” is the solution to combating bigotry are common, but not satisfactory.

A very persuasive article on neo-Stalinism by Colm Breathnach - 'The Strange Rebirth of Stalinism'. I recommend it to anyone interested in genuine socialist ideas: independentleft.ie/rebirth-of-s... #Stalinism #Socialism #Marxism
THE STRANGE REBIRTH OF STALINISM - Independent Left
How is it that some 'leftists' argue anti-working class, anti-human politics? The answer is to be found in the re-emergence of Stalinism.

Gary Lineker was forced out of the BBC because he opposed Israel’s genocide.

Not because anyone actually believes he’s antisemitic in the slightest.

I know it, you know it, and what’s more - the people who drove him out know it.

It's those who oppose genocide who have sacked, silenced, arrested. The world turned on its head
