performative electoralism that thinks it owns "the left" while only being a part of it by sheer coincidence that this entire country was captured by george orwell's anti-stalinist pseudo-socialism

Great discussion at TWT on how the left must unite — Your Party and the Greens — to keep Farage out of Downing Street.

But unity isn’t uniformity. Your Party will be truly anti-imperialist: no diplomatic ties with a genocidal, apartheid Israeli state and no greenwashing NATO.

Genuinely what the fuck do people think makes this the end of the genocide in Gaza?

Just because Israel got all its "hostages" back? Why do we frame this like the "real end" when it accepts the Israeli narrative that the genocide was justified to return its captives?

This isn't the end of it.

DID YOU KNOW? The IWW has a union branch for claimants, too!

Record numbers of us rely on benefits to get by, and too long we have neglected this struggle. No more!

We're organising claimants across the board, on the shop floor to your front door. When we say «One big union» we mean it.

Pride in our Class: New IWW Claimants’ Union. - Industrial Workers of the World (IWW)

Prompted by the state’s relentless assault on the poor, members of the IWW have formed a Claimants’ Union, open to all workers wholly or partially dependant on benefits, in or out of work. This will i...

Now and then capitalism invents some magic grease to keep the gears moving, despite great expense to human life and dignity.

It also serves to remind us that with enough of us organised and conscious we can create any damn economy we want.

used to be a time where if you asked your mate if he's upset at the tragedy that befell AES in America you'd be able to tell if they're a comrade by the response

in the first hours after the ceasefire was started and people walked over to their destroyed houses over 100 skeletal remains were found just lying in the streets.

oh fr? that seems poorly planned by Russia considering the state of air defences (and the risk of escalating if one is hit), though I imagine they know the Americans are going to be «very» careful avoiding Russian aircraft.

Does Russia not need Venez. on the union treaty to store nukes there?

every time i see an image like this I'm reminded they will never be part of any "official" death toll admitted by the empire.

This person's life, desires, thoughts, secrets, love, sorrow... and they won't even be bestowed the meagre title of "statistic".

the US is utterly floundering on this too. Their only attempt so far to re-seize the initiative is by trying to overthrow Venezuela for their oil and REM deposits, too little too late.

your pinned skeet is an az quote you've attributed to yourself so I'm not too concerned about whatever version of reality you think anyone ascribes to.

Isn't it interesting how that death toll gets lower and lower every time a Zionist cites it
