I write about how the working class and oppressed will use democratic algorithms to raise consciousness, organize themselves, defeat reaction, and sweep away the rule of capital. I am a student of Marx, Lenin, Turing and Shannon. http://communism.org/ben

My leaflet for the huge protests against Trump tomorrow. PDF is available here: communism.org/node/4053
Hi everyone -- My political work is not usually focused on raising money for any cause. Instead I focus on popularizing key principles.
The Ukrainian Solidarity Network asked me to donate to (and help publicize) this year's fundraising drive. I have done so and am asking others to do the same.

Improved graphic (and supporting graphics) for the "big picture" of sources of Trump's support. This includes a reference to the reasons that the Democratic Party helps protect Trump--because both Trump and the Democratic Party are backed by Capital.

A U.S. Marine veteran waves Palestinian flag - silent defiance against U.S- funded Israeli genocide in Gaza: mass civilian killings, aid convoys bombed, hospitals erased, forced famine. Human rights violations of historic magnitude.
Quiet, solitary protests like this speak with loud moral clarity

ICE targets, US citizens and immigrants alike, are based on lists compiled by the extremist Zionist group Betar.
A Betar spokesperson, Daniel Levy, reported giving thousands of names of students and faculty critical of Israel to Stephen Miller, Marco Rubio, and Pam Bondi of the Trump regime.

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind.
An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one."
The other said, "Take him anyway."
So they did.

I am working on a letter to my family attempting to explain what the hell is happening to the world right now. Below is a chart I made for the upcoming letter. The chart includes my selection of some the most important things to happen since the big bang--as well as a few less important things.

Millions took to the streets yesterday across all Yemeni cities, condemning the actions of the United States in killing children.
They demanded strikes on American interests in the region and a halt to American navigation.
