Anti-woke accused rapist posits, what if Trump isn’t so bad
There is an emerging conventional wisdom that resistance to Trump went too far and I am going to lose my mind.

Finally digging into this brilliant example of powerful, interactive storytelling rooted in politics, people & place.

My grandparents lived in Worksop - just north of Mansfield - after arriving to the UK from Jamaica. Grandad worked in Manton Colliery (now a truck depot) & Grandma in a factory.
We can’t understand the geography of capitalism in our present moment without seeing how these old industries overlap with the new.

"Two Towns" features an interactive map showing how ex-industrial towns were not “left behind” but actively made into havens for low-paid work.

Excellent interview with Syrian-Swiss writer/activist Joseph Daher. Detail of events on the ground - for example regarding the rebellion and the politics of HTS - with sharp analysis about international politics and how the British and American left should respond.

For communists, we need to develop a vision of good health, social freedom and postwork which combines the politics of repair and revolution, shorn from an embattled vision of social democracy. The rise of the Trumpian Make America Healthy Again is more than a warning shot. 4/5

It's key to grasp the Assisted Dying Bill and the DWP's 'Get Britain Working' paper as two sides of the same coin. We live in a world where older, sicker populations are less productive and cost more. Both pieces of legislation provide capitalism some answers to those issues. 1/5

Water companies in England are using loopholes in order to not pay people who are left for days w/out running water.

As long as shareholder payouts are prioritised over public need, our water system will never meet safe & decent standards.

Water needs to be publicly owned.

Anyone around for the Big Flame book launch this Friday in London?

I’ll be talking on behalf of the WCML - discussing our upcoming exhibition about the group, that explores their legacy and contemporary relevance to ‘class compositional’ militants.
