Anna Louise Strong’s work remains essential reading for those who want to know the reality of Soviet and Chinese socialism in the Stalin and Mao era. I especially recommend When Serfs Stood Up in Tibet and The Stalin Era.

An older video I made in collaboration with Esme Louisee of Kinky History in honor of Women's History Month! figured I should post it here. Miss Anna Louise ...

The decline we are seeing in Newark is repeated across the rest of Britain’s former industrial heartlands, and it will not be reversed under conditions of capitalist imperialism. When we wake up and realise the con we have been subjected to, we must work together for a completely different type of society – one where people’s needs decide everything and the economy is organised rationally.

When, in disgrace with fortune and men’s eyes,
I all alone beweep my outcast state,
And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries,
And look upon myself and curse my fate,
Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
Featured like him, like him with friends possessed,
Desiring this man’s art and that man’s scope,
With what I most enjoy contented least;
Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,
Haply I think on thee, and then my state,
(Like to the lark at break of day arising
From sullen earth) sings hymns at heaven’s gate;
For thy sweet love remembered such wealth brings
That then I scorn to change my state with kings.
- William Shakespeare

One key principle that every Marxist must adhere to is that everything, no matter how complex, can be explained.

Imran Khan's family is demanding "proof of life" and immediate access to him after weeks of being denied visits, which has fueled intense online rumours of his death in custody. Pakistani authorities and the government have officially denied the death rumours and insist he is alive and healthy.
Khan's family, including his son Kasim Khan and sisters, has been unable to contact him for over a month and a half, despite court orders allowing visits. They are demanding immediate, transparent access to verify his well-being.
Kasim Khan claims his father is being held in complete isolation in a "death cell" with no phone calls, no meetings, and no access to sunlight or ventilation.
The family and his party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), state the Pakistani government and its handlers will be held legally, morally, and internationally accountable for Khan's safety.
Khan's sister, Aleema Khan, has filed a contempt petition against jail officials for allegedly defying court orders on visitation rights.

The camera did not just "document an incident" in Jenin today, it recorded a war crime in broad daylight: the cold-blooded execution of two unarmed Palestinian youths. And this is not an isolated case. The same camera has captured dozens of executions in Gaza.
According to @EuroMedH, the Israeli army has executed at least 7,000 unarmed Palestinians, including children holding white flags; children literally signalling surrender, yet still shot dead.
Let's be very clear: The Geneva Conventions explicitly prohibit the killing of anyone who is hors de combat: unarmed civilians, detainees, the wounded, surrendering individuals.
Article 3 of the Fourth Geneva Convention states:
No one in custody or under control of an occupying force may be executed.
No one may be murdered, tortured, or subjected to cruel treatment. Extra-judicial executions are a grave breach; a war crime.
What we are seeing is not "crossfire". It is Nazi-style street executions of people who should be protected by international law the moment they are captured, unarmed, or attempting to surrender.
International law is not ambiguous. It doesn't say "unless the victim is Palestinian". It doesn't say "unless Israel claims self-defense". It doesn't say "unless the world is too cowardly to enforce it".
The Israeli occupation army has systematically violated every core protection of wartime conduct; targeting civilians, executing detainees, killing those raising white flags, disappearing prisoners, and erasing entire families. These are grave breaches, punishable under international law, yet the world watches in silence.
If the Geneva Conventions are allowed to be shredded like this, then they mean nothing. And every government turning its head away is complicit in the normalization of war crimes.
Take a step back, take a deep breath and call it what it is:
A documented campaign of executions against unarmed Palestinians. A crime against humanity unfolding in real time.

📌 I extend my gratitude to all Syrian communities who stood with us during the Dignity Sit-in.
📌 I especially recognize our brothers, the Bani Ma‘rouf — the Druze of Jabal Bashan, the Muwahhidun.
📌 To the Alawites — my children: with every step you took, you shook the ground beneath their feet. You carried the banner of honor and dignity. Your weapon is the word; their weapon is bullets. Your strength is unity, steadfastness, and resilience; theirs is division, hatred, and terrorism.
📌 Our message has reached the entire world, exposing the scale of the violations and presenting our legitimate demands.
📌 Our message also made clear our right to self-determination through federalism and political decentralization, the need to stop the killing, and the release of thousands of civilian and military detainees.
📌 We will not accept a centralized political Islamic emirate that slaughters us based on identity — even if it pretends to grant us life as some kind of favor.
📌 What happened yesterday is not a passing event. It is the spark of something that will not be extinguished, and the end of an era defined by silence and submission.
📌 We ask only for what is right — nothing more, nothing less.
📌 I affirm that any attack on the Alawite community will not be met with silence. It will be met with a flood — with bare chests standing before your poisonous rifles.
📌 We will not back down until all our demands are achieved. This is a promise with no turning back. We do not fear death, and we will not bow.

Our comrades Ian, John and Chris were at the Your Party conference today in Liverpool. Handing out leaflets and hoping to have some decent conversations with workers still stuck in the reformist dead end of social democracy.
