Under capitalism disability is seen as an individualised and medicalised issue.
The impact is that in Britain disabled people are almost twice as likely to be unemployed as non-disabled people.

“Israeli forces have signed a death warrant for Palestinian children in Gaza as they carry out nonstop attacks, continue to destroy civilian infrastructure, and prevent any humanitarian aid from reaching Palestinians in need. This is nothing short of genocide.”

Sexism is on the rise. Donald Trump, a sexual predator, is back in the White House and he pledges to wage a war on women. Abortion rights are under attack and Trump emboldens far right misogynists such as Andrew Tate.

Hamas says Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu’s decision to halt humanitarian aid into Gaza is “cheap blackmail” and a “coup” against the ceasefire deal.

In nearly every movement the question of what kind of change we need and how we get it emerges. Most of the time, most workers are not revolutionaries, and instead hold reformist ideas.

60 years since his assassination, the words of Malcolm X still ring out – “By any means necessary” in the fight for justice.
He was an implacable fighter against racism and recognised that racism is central to capitalism.
