A huge banner was raised in Tehran’s Palestine Square, displaying a map of potential targets in the Greater Tel Aviv area, alongside a warning:

In the face of a rain of missiles, this is a small area.

You start... we finish it!

“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.”

"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…"

Reading a very interesting book about a town on the south end of the Wirral that sprouted from the canal boom in the industrial revolution.

🇺🇸🇸🇾The United States has transferred control of its Al-Tanf base in Homs province to the Syrian army, along with a 55-kilometer security zone, where US-controlled militants were being trained.

This week I spoke with Garland Nixon about the Epstein files. What do they reveal to us about the nature of the capitalist-imperialist state machinery and western bourgeois democracy?

What has been exposed is not just the depravity, supremacy and criminality of the ruling elites, but the personal networks (long ago described by the founders of Marxist science) through which they operate, do deals and manage the direction of the system – far away from any mechanisms of public accountability, scrutiny or control.

The truth is that we didn’t need these fresh revelations to prove that the present system is inherently genocidal, sociopathic and anti-worker, or to understand that it is irreformable in all its essentials. But the latest revelations certainly confirm that putting our hopes for change in the replacement of a few ruling-class puppets in Parliament or Downing Street is a futile activity.

We spoke about Peter Mandelson’s role in the Labour party, and the dangerous game being played by opponents who are keen to use the revelations for party-political point-scoring. A prolonged focus on the Epstein scandal might seem like a heaven-sent distraction from all the imperialist warmongering and looming economic catastrophe, but it could end up exposing and ruining not just a particular politician or party, but the whole system of bourgeois rule in the eyes of the people.

Along the way, we also asked why so many independent media commentators continue to repeat imperialist lies about Venezuela’s leadership having ‘sold out’ and the USA’s regime-change operation having been successful, although there is still no evidence to support such assertions and every reason to treat them as US psyop narratives.

Finally, we talked about why there is no way forward for humanity while this system continues to exist, and why, despite all its horrors, there are still some who fear the prospect of the ‘instability’ (ie, social upheaval) that will inevitably accompany the collapse, defeat and dismantlement of Anglo-American imperialism.

Wtf happened to Morbid Symptoms? Turned reactionary, with anti Stalin and pro Chomsky idiocy. Chomsky was the limited hangout specialist, a gatekeeper for imperialism. The Epstein stuff is extra, revealing his moral character, or rather a lack of it.

Crocodile tears about the state of the deliberately run-down court system and the fate of poor victims who are waiting for years before their cases come to court have nothing to do with the abolition of juries for large numbers of criminal cases in Britain – a measure that was fast-tracked through parliament and passed into law in January.

By way of contrast, following the summer riots of 2011, the justice system faced an enormous backlog having mounted a huge operation and arrested large numbers of young people in short order. With Keir Starmer as director of public prosecutions (DPP), 24-hour court sittings were introduced, clearing thousands of cases in weeks.

Clearly, if the ruling class wants to clear a backlog it knows very well how to do so.

Any talk of an alliance, or “uniting the left”, means working alongside state-run bodies, Trots, pro-NATO liberals and openly anti-communist organisations. It means granting credibility and legitimacy to forces that have done more than most to sabotage the class struggle.

These groups are not a bulwark against reaction — they are one of its breeding grounds. Their confusion, moralism and constant retreat into liberal politics is precisely why British workers are so often pulled towards reactionary rhetoric in the first place.

We should treat these leftists (who are left of Imperialism, not opposed to it) no differently than the reactionaries themselves. Expose them for what they are: vital components of British capitalism, tasked with containing, redirecting and ultimately neutralising class consciousness.
As the Ukrainian conflict drags on more and more deaths can be attributed to the NATO warmongers.

It’s always the biggest egos who cry the loudest about being wronged when their opinions are challenged.
The people who demand constant validation are usually the first to fold when their opinions, or work, are challenged.
I find it so fucking revealing about a person's character. For some, the self always supersedes the collective. Their feelings outweigh facts. Their perception outweighs reality. One simple critique is treated as an attack because they’ve built their whole paper-thin identity around being right; any disagreement feels like persecution.
Maturity, political or personal, requires the opposite. It requires the ability to pause and ask: what if I’m wrong? Not because we enjoy self-doubt, but because growth can never come without questioning oneself.
The irony is that those who posture as independent thinkers often cannot tolerate independent thought directed at them. They speak endlessly about “free speech” or “open debate” until that freedom offends their own ego. Then suddenly it’s disrespect, betrayal, and hostility. A fragile ego that feeds upon adulation is incapable of accepting criticism.
If you’re not capable of accepting criticism, you're not capable of critical thought.
