Sexism is on the rise. Donald Trump, a sexual predator, is back in the White House and he pledges to wage a war on women. Abortion rights are under attack and Trump emboldens far right misogynists such as Andrew Tate.

The FBI thought ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ was communist propaganda J Edgar Hoover’s Communist agents thought it was a Trojan horse sneaking anti-American propaganda to the masses 

If you get to watch the Christmas classic 'It's a Wonderful Life' over the holidays, and find yourself enjoying it - you may just be a socialist!

The FBI claimed this heartwarming film about a community pulling together at Christmas was 'communist' propaganda.

We said goodbye to John Rose today.
"There are men who struggle for a day and they are good. There are men who struggle for a year and they are better. There are men who struggle many years, and they are better still. But there are those who struggle all their lives:They are the indispensable ones."

Socialists support the right of workers to use violence against their oppressors. But acts of terrorism are a desperate attempt by a small minority to substitute themselves for mass action.
