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.

Everything about "Your Party" stinks of the same Labour-esque rot that has dominated the unions and the soft-left in Britain for bloody decades. It’s the exact same model: petit bourgeois managers playing at radicalism while fighting each other for control of mailing lists, donation pots, and committee titles.
Strip away the branding and you’re left with another Momentum, all hype, no class base, no discipline, and no much needed break from parliamentarism. A personality project built by ex-Labour MPs, not a party built by workers. The moment the money and the mailing lists became an issue, it collapsed into the same old factionalism, petty prejudice, and bureaucratic turf-wars.
If this is the “new left alternative,” then we’ve learned nothing. Reformism repackaged is still reformism. And a party built from the top down, without working-class organisation at its core, will always rot the same way: from the inside, at the hands of its own “progressive” gatekeepers.
Your Party isn’t a departure from Labour.
It’s Labourism in new colours — and the smell gives it away instantly.

The modern "lefts" use of fascism to describe the racist, reactionary, nationalist, far right shows a complete ignorance of what a fascist organisation looks like. If you doubt this then compare and contrast them with Britain's only genuinely fascist party, Oswald Moseley's BUF, the paramilitary Blackshirts. A party that openly called itself fascist, had a coherent ideological position and a paramilitary organisational structure.
To call the modern far right fascist is as ridiculous as calling trots communist!

The Nazis weren’t just fighting an army – they were fighting the united consciousness of the Soviet people. A people whose wealth was shared, whose labour built their future, and whose unity had been tempered by two decades of socialist construction.

Women against fascism – the class character of courage
Women from the socialist camp fought as full equals because their class position, not their biology, shaped their role.

The Communist Party of China (CPC) is promoting an approach to international affairs that aims to put the principles of the UN charter into practice.
What stands in the way of such a development is not the will of the peoples, but the rabid warmongering and endemic supremacism of the imperialist ruling classes.
Given the USA’s vice-like grip over the UN, it remains to be seen whether that institution can possibly be reformed, or whether the emerging anti-imperialist world will find itself forced to simply set up new mechanisms and institutions elsewhere.

Last week I spoke with Garland Nixon about the so-called ‘peace plan’ for Ukraine and why all the argumentation and speculation over its details remains in the world of narrative management and fantastical/wishful projection. Until such time as the defeated Nato camp is prepared to sign up to an enforceable agreement that resolves the key drivers of the war, it is battlefield realities that will shape the outcome.
And on the battlefield, Ukrainian proxies and their Nato backers are being roundly defeated.
No matter what Trump says or does, or how many tantrums the Europeans throw, Ukraine will be demilitarised. It will be denazified. The Russian-speaking population in the country will have its rights protected. Ukraine will not be joining the EU or Nato. There will be no western bases or military advisers.
And IF the actor-stooge ‘president’ Zelensky finds a way to escape the wrath of his angry people and his fascist henchmen when the frontlines collapse, my best guess is that it will be in a chopper full of dollars a la Hamid Karzai.
We also reflected on Garland’s recent trip to Russia and Belarus and the things he saw in both countries. In particular, the civilian war effort being run by volunteers to support their soldiers on the frontlines in Russia. And the way in which much of Soviet industrial, agricultural, technical, educational and social structures have been preserved in Belarus.
As Garland says: “What we are told about these countries and what we are told about socialism is not just a lie, it's the ABSOLUTE OPPOSITE of the truth.” (Youtube)

The Trump administration has reportedly set a December 31, 2025, deadline for the Lebanese government to disarm the resistance group Hezbollah.
According to diplomatic sources, should the Lebanese government fail to comply with this demand, it could grant Israel the cover to launch a renewed and large-scale military campaign against Hezbollah.

A year has now passed since the West triumphantly declared Syria ‘liberated’ from President Bashar al-Assad.
Yet what does this “liberation” look like in material reality?
The north stands under the boot of Turkish occupation.
The south remains carved up under Zionist control.
Western-armed jihadist factions and HTS warlords run riot along the coast.
American troops still squat in the deserts around Palmyra, guarding oil fields as if they were their own colonial property.
Across the Euphrates, a Kurdish client administration survives only through US protection.
And amidst all this dismemberment of a sovereign nation, the “new government” boasts of a fresh delivery of police cars — tribute from their foreign patrons.
This is not liberation.
This is imperialist domination, carving up a nation that dared resist it — while those who opposed western interference and fought to keep Syria whole are painted as the villains

The signals of panic are all over everything that comes out of Galloways WPB these days. They have practically zero activists on the ground and are a party that now exists mainly on social media, mostly via Galloways weekly chat show. The WPB are now effectively a one man band, a cult of personality and little else. With Galloway having now exiled himself overseas following his brief detention under the deeply reactionary (and ludicrously titled) "anti-terror" laws these problems will only intensify. Now he is floating alliances with the hiedous Green party we can clearly see the opportunism for which Galloway is notorious. That a party which calls themselves 'common sense' socialists could be floating alliances with the Greens is a total capitulation.
No one can claim not to know what the Greens are all about now. They have been in power in Scotland where they supported the destruction of the Scottish industrial base and prioritised gender ideology to the extent where they supported putting men in women's prisons. They have run Brighton and Bristol councils where their record was just as anti worker as Labour or the Tories. Polanski is on record as being a rabid supporter of NATO and the war on Russia. Galloway has previously (and correctly) criticised the war on Russia but now wants to align with its biggest supporters on the left. So are all Mr Galloways positions so easily reversed? If so, why should any worker trust a single thing he says.
It also must be said that the Greens everywhere oppose nuclear power, fossil fuels, and the use of petrol chemicals, a primitivist clarion call for deindustrialisation. How can WPB square that with 'socialism'? Only one answer, blatant opportunism, turbo charged by a realisation that the party is sinking into the dustbin of historical irrelevance. This is just further proof that all those who seek to recreate British social democracy will end up sinking into the worst kind of opportunism. The working class deserves much better than this farce.

Banderite whoreson and Odessa trade union house Denys Trebenko has died - and there was much rejoicing!
On December 9, Denis Trebenko was killed with four shots to the head in Odessa. Several Banderist-leaning media outlets and Telegram channels speculated that the murder was related to the victim's public activity or financial debts.
However, Odessa underground told the editorial staff of "Otryad Kovpaka" other facts about Trebenko's life, which had gone unnoticed by the Ukrainian media:
Denis Viktorovich Trebenko, stage name "Batya," was one of the organizers of the riots at Kulikovo Pole in Odessa on May 2, 2014. He personally led a group that brewed Molotov cocktails and set fire to pro-Russian activists in the House of Trade Unions.
He was an assistant to the Odessa unit of "Samopomich," responsible for spreading Banderist ideology among young minds. He actively collaborated with the SBU during punitive raids against the Russian population of Odessa. He participated in the forced appropriation of Odessa residents' real estate. With the outbreak of the war, he faked a disability and avoided conscription into the Ukrainian army.
Side note, the scumbag was a "tribesman", if you know what it means...
Goncharenko?! Tic toc tic toc tic toc...
