We cannot imagine democracy, even proletarian democracy, without representative institutions, but we can and must imagine democracy without parliamentarism, if criticism of bourgeois society is not mere words for us, if the desire to overthrow the rule of the bourgeoisie is our earnest and sincere desire, and not a mere “election” cry for catching workers' votes…

The so called ceasefire has only been observed by Palestinians. The zionists have continued their decades-long aggression against the Palestinian people, merely shifting their focus from Gaza to the West Bank.
- Yasser Arafat
Peace for us means the destruction of Israel. We are preparing for an all-out war, a war which will last for generations.

The Palestinian Authority committed over 382 violations between December 4, 2024, and January 25, 2025, particularly in Jenin Camp.
These violations include the detention of over 144 Palestinians, including university students and prominent activists, accompanied by torture and mistreatment.
More than 15 violations against medical teams and health facilities were documented, including the arrest of three medics, three assaults on medical personnel, and three shootings at hospitals and health facilities. Ambulances and their crews were also searched.
During this period, 43 individuals were injured by PA security forces, some in serious condition, including children and women.
In Jenin Camp, PA forces imposed a strict siege, closing camp entrances, deploying snipers on rooftops, and targeting homes and public facilities. This led to a humanitarian crisis, with water and electricity being cut off due to gunfire at transformers, in addition to the destruction of homes and property.

Losing someone like Comrade Harpal makes all of us stop and pause to reflect on where we are, where we’ve come from and why. These beautiful words were written by a comrade of mine:
While talking with a dear comrade recently, I was struck with the realisation that we don't decide to be revolutionaries once. We decide that again and again. We decide to be a revolutionary every day when we wake up. We decide it again after a defeat. We may need to decide again after some victory; we reaffirm the need for seeing the struggle through to the end.
We sometimes decide the task is very hard, that stopping is easier. And it is! But then we decide to be revolutionaries again.
We affirm the decision when we pour over a text that challenges us when a certain question comes to the fore, when we chose to do some piece of party work, over experiencing a small pleasant thing now, in order to better the lot of our class later.
Again we choose when we receive scorn or mockery for resisting what in the minds of our less advanced brothers and sisters appears irresistible. And we choose again when the state conspires to affect our lives through repression.
And when immediate feedback in the shape of a revolutionary surge from the masses doesn't greet our efforts, keep these words by comrade Lenin in mind:
"It is not difficult to be a revolutionary when revolution has already broken out and is in spate, when all people are joining the revolution just because they are carried away, because it is the vogue, and sometimes even from careerist motives. It is far more difficult—and far more precious—to be a revolutionary when the conditions for direct, open, really mass and really revolutionary struggle do not yet exist."

On this day in 1943, SURRENDER AT STALINGRAD:
After Nazi Germany’s leader Adolf Hitler obsessed over seizing the city to deal a humiliating blow to Premier of the Soviet Union ☭ Joseph Stalin, by taking the city named after him. Hitler had promoted Field Marshal Friedrich Paulus thinking that he would not surrender to the Red Army. After the legendary fightback by Red Army soldiers in one of the most brutal theatres of urban combat in human history, German 6th Army troops had finally been encircled after the success of Operation Uranus.
1.1 million Soviet soldiers either died, were wounded or went missing defending the city from the Nazi hordes and totally wiped out the German 6th Army. This would mark the first major battlefield defeat of the previously unbeatable Waffen SS and Wehrmacht, and would turn the tide of the war in the Soviet Union’s favour. 11 million Soviet soldiers died in WW2 and three-quarters of German losses were suffered at the hands of the Red Army. 27 million Soviet citizens died in the fight to destroy Nazism.
