Here is an excellent article on how these professional politicians are created. This is why they are so wedded to every bureaucratic structure and Labour movement protest style.
They are all moulded that way.

The repeated revelations of paedophilia in high places, along with the details of Jeffrey Epstein’s role as an agent for Anglo-American and zionist intelligence agencies have convinced me of this:
- That there is no weird coincidence at play. It is not so much that high office breeds depravity as a predilection for depravity is a precondition for promotion.
- That access to illicit behaviours like drug-fuelled orgies and sex with minors is presented as a perk of high office.
- That those who are not interested in these perks are unlikely to be allowed to achieve the highest level in any public field, whether Hollywood, Fleet Street, Parliament or Church.
- That the existence of a file of compromising material on all those in the public eye is considered as necessary insurance by the ruling class, whose power is more precarious than it looks.
- Essentially, those who go along with this game can ‘enjoy’ the privileges of feeling themselves to be above the law, members of the club etc, and will remain untouchable while engaging in the most disgusting behaviours SO LONG AS THEY NEVER STEP OUT OF LINE.
- But Fleet Street and the police will be mobilised to denigrate and incarcerate any whistleblower the second it looks like they might be going to spill the beans about the true nature of the ruling class, its wars, its lies and its dictatorship.
We should note well in all of this the absolute discipline of the highest media editors in preserving silence for decades regarding well-known degenerates and their heinous crimes. If they are not members of this club themselves, they certainly understand the way the game is played and are willing to play their parts.
Moreover, they accept the premise that society’s most vulnerable members (ie, poor working-class children in care homes, young girls trafficked from eastern Europe) can be considered disposable fodder for the twisted urges and political manoeuvrings of the ruling elites.

The lies told by the state and elbit system should be dealt with, but we know nothing will happen.
The only way to force change is to continue to push back hard against the imperialists. The only language they understand is aggression and the only thing they care about is profit.

🇨🇳🛳 China's shipbuilding industry still the world's leader
Last year, Chinese shipbuilding maintained its leading position in the international market. The sector has held the lead for the 16th consecutive year. In 2025, the industry achieved notable successes in three main indicators:
🏆 The volume of ships built in China in the previous year amounted to 53.69 million deadweight tons. This is 11.4% more than in 2024, and 56.1% of the global total.
🏆 The volume of new orders in China's shipbuilding industry in 2025 reached 107.82 million deadweight tons — 69% of all new orders worldwide.
🏆 As of the end of December, the volume of orders in progress amounted to 274.42 million deadweight tons. Compared to the year before, this figure increased by 31.5%. It accounted for 66.8% of the global total, setting a new record.
In addition, last year, China led the world in the number of new orders for 16 out of 18 main types of ships.

Early British capitalism and its fear of organised workers.
The Combination Acts of 1799 and 1800 made it illegal for workers to “combine” (early roots of workers unions) to raise wages, reduce hours, or improve their working conditions. Essentially, the capitalist class criminalised trade unions before they properly existed. Left to be trialed by local magistrates, who mostly were industry owners or landlords, could convict and jail workers for collective bargaining. The mere whiff of workers organisation alone was enough for local magistrates to reach for the gavel.
These acts were introduced during the wars with revolutionary France, at a time when the British ruling class feared unrest at home. The French Revolution had made “Jacobinism” shorthand for subversion. At the same time, early industrial capitalism was expanding and this new class of proletariat were beginning to organise strikes and mutual trade societies. For the state, industrial combination and political radicalism were treated as the same threat.
The Acts were significant because they helped stabilise British capitalism in its formative industrial phase. The factory system depended on a disciplined, wage-dependent workforce, the proletariat. Profits came from the subjugation of the workers, on keeping wages down and production uninterrupted. By criminalising collective bargaining and streamlining prosecutions through employer-aligned magistrates, the state ensured that labour remained fragmented while capital could organise freely. With the English revolution giving this other new class, the bourgeoisie, the ability to create laws that secured the conditions necessary for capital accumulation.
A Repeal came in 1824 after sustained pressure, but a strike wave followed and the capitalists reimposed restrictions in 1825, limiting picketing and collective pressure while offering the concession of the ability to unionise to the workers, it was tightly managed. The objective was not freedom of association; it was containment and control. Allowing the workers the belief they had a say, then imprisonment when they did.
From a class perspective, the Combination Acts expose the class character of the state in early British capitalism. The state did not stand above society as a neutral arbiter. It intervened directly to defend property relations and suppress the growing class consciousness within the proletariat.
The issue was not abstract “public order” but control of labour in a system built on exploitation.

“Liberalism is a manifestation of opportunism and conflicts fundamentally with Marxism. It is negative and objectively has the effect of helping the enemy; that is why the enemy welcomes its preservation in our midst. Such being its nature, there should be no place for it in the ranks of the revolution.
We must use Marxism, which is positive in spirit, to overcome liberalism, which is negative. A communist should have largeness of mind and he should be staunch and active, looking upon the interests of the revolution as his very life and subordinating his personal interests to those of the revolution; always and everywhere he should adhere to principle and wage a tireless struggle against all incorrect ideas and actions, so as to consolidate the collective life of the Party and strengthen the ties between the Party and the masses; he should be more concerned about the Party and the masses than about any private person, and more concerned about others than about himself. Only thus can he be considered a communist.”

Here’s a clip of Liverpool legend John Barnes. A brilliant footballer in his day and always thoughtful when he speaks.
If you’re into football it’s an enjoyable listen. If not, it’s still worth hearing his take on the British working class and racism in the game.

"The thinking worker knows that the most dangerous of advisers are those liberal friends of the workers who claim to be defending their interests, but are actually trying to destroy the class independence of the proletariat and its organisation. It is therefore our bounden duty to open the workers’ eyes to the manner in which the liquidators are destroying the organisation…"

One of our most popular articles of last year. It was popular for a reason, because the idea of a British “Stolovaya” is something all workers could get behind.
People are waking up to how bad our food is under a capitalist system and how much we are being ripped off for it.
Once upon a time, British workers would have subsidised meals within certain industries; now even that has been exchanged for vending machines.
Imagine finishing work and, instead of having to attempt to put together a decent meal with what you've been able to afford that week, you can go to a dining room serving hot, nutritional food for a pittance, if not free!
Capitalism has no interest in the workers' health. Just keep them alive enough to work for a while and create new workers before ill health takes them from the workplace.
A planned economy would bring food security for all workers without the need to argue for it with the capitalists in parliament.
