Don't call me "left"
The danger of joining in
www.greenplenty.info
I just saw someone posting about "leftism as a lifestyle" and they don't want it?
We're living on a ball of rock which is being wrecked by billionaire clowns and you're worried about lifestyle?
A better world is possible and necessary. Don't call me left.

Tesla now pays Elon Musk $100bn a year.
Tesla's 125,000 workers are paid $40,000 each average, $5bn a year.
He is paid 20x as much as every single worker at Tesla.
They could be paid $840,000 each instead.

Zohran's campaign was his determination to make New York a city everyone can afford to live in. Huge congratulations!
His success will resonate throughout the world. A story where no one is left behind.
It's time to write that story across England & Wales too.

I’m joining @bigissue.com in an open letter urging the govt to set child poverty targets in the upcoming child poverty strategy.
4.5 million children are growing up in poverty in the UK; setting measurable targets in the strategy will keep driving forward action we need.

I’m quite amazed that all the people concerned that Mamdani’s election is going to potentially lead to a spike in antisemitic incidents are completely ignoring the very real and frightening spike in antisemitic incidents that’s occurred ever since Trump was elected

<div class="content">
<div class="field field-field-text"><p>Dutch police told their <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/uk" target="_blank">British</a> counterparts that over 200 Maccabi Tel Aviv football fans who <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/israeli-hooligans-provoke-clashes-amsterdam-after-chanting-anti-palestinian-slogans" target="_blank">wreaked havoc</a> in Amsterdam in November 2024 were "linked to the <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/israel" target="_blank">Israel </a>Defense Forces [IDF]", and that hundreds more were "experienced fighters", "highly organised" and "intent on causing serious violence", Middle East Eye can reveal.</p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/maccabi-tel-aviv-declines-tickets-uk-game-over-tommy-robinson-intervention" target="_blank">recent ban</a> on fans of Israeli club Maccabi Tel Aviv from a 6 November fixture at Aston Villa in Birmingham triggered a <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/corbyn-demands-lisa-nandy-retract-accusations-against-independents-police-intelligence" target="_blank">political furore</a> and was <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/corbyn-demands-lisa-nandy-retract-accusations-against-independents-police-intelligence" target="_blank">denounced</a> as antisemitic last month by the British government. </p>
<p>But the West Midlands Police assessment which led to the ban was based on intelligence provided by Dutch police about the conduct of Maccabi fans during a match in Amsterdam last November.</p>
<p>The Guardian <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/oct/21/police-intelligence-on-extreme-maccabi-fans-with-history-of-violence-led-to-villa-park-ban" target="_blank">reported</a> on 21 October that the police assessment "concluded the biggest risk of violence came from extremist fans of the Israeli club".</p>
<p>Now, as the match approaches, MEE can reveal new details of the police assessment which have not been previously reported, and which raise further questions about claims made by government ministers.</p>

"Anti-terrorism" laws were created to oppress, suppress, control & surveil just like apartheid Israel. The "War on Terror" used taxpayer money to murder people in the Middle East, steal resources to further enrich billionaires & create a police state surveillance apparatus over ordinary people.

At this point in the long cycle, when the concentration of wealth and power has reached a historical extreme, those at the top always try to overthrow the system to cement their dominance and control for eternity. The only defense is the people uniting around shared class and retaking control.
