For me it was how he differed from Hegel.

Hegel believed our way of thinking influenced our conditions

Marx disagreed, turned it on its head and said that it is our conditions that inform our way of thinking

This makes ideas like class consciousness more initiative

No, you need stronger unions and better worker solidarity

Many other leftist are fully aware of that fact and advocate for a more revolutionary road

The only way to end the Russian and NATO imperialism for good is with a sustained, serious and cooperative anti-war movement in Russia and NATO countries

Prince Andrews actions were covered up by the royal family.

What else are they hiding?
What other hand have they caused?

So the "punishment" for Andrews actions is to be stripped of his titles and be considered a "normal" person?

He keeps his money

He keeps his freedoms

Despicable behaviour by the British state

The state cannot be relied upon to take proper justice

All over the world spontaneous protests are erupting in solidarity with the Sumud Flotilla and in outrage at the complicity of our rulers. The time for talk is over. If the ruling class refuses to act, then the workers of the world will simply put a stop to this madness themselves. Revolution now!

Momentum would rather fight for better bureaucracy in Labour than fight for workers rights in the country

It's pathetic, spineless, lazy and a complete waste of time

Can't say I'm surprised

By the time this campaign makes any sort of progress Nigel Farage will be Prime Minister

Increasingly we are seeing that a revolutionary attitude is required to tackle terrorist states like Israel.

Italian Dock workers have shown us that you do not need to waste time trying to convince the governments and bureaucrats to do something about the genocide.

Being principled on trans rights is vital for the left movement

Many on the left will argue we should stick to "bread and butter issues" and "focus on what unites us" which is just a whistle for transphobic lefties

We must stop transphobia in it's tracks
It cannot be allowed to continue

The idea that "London barely noticed" is wrong and dangerous

International news outlets reported in it

This was the largest far-right demo in British history ever

This is a sign that this issue needs to be confronted head on or else it's going to get worse

26 Police Officers were injured in Londons fascist riots, but only 9 people were arrested.

At last week's Palestine Action protest 0 Police Officers were injured, but nearly 900 people were arrested.

The UK govt is chasing Reform votes & colluding with fascism, home & abroad.
