Anti-imperialist = anti-capitalist = abolitionist (prison, police, borders, arms & armies) - unashamed to be a communist. Opposed to bullies who use ownership, gender, race, or sexuality to dominate others. Shame & dispossess the perpetrators!

Only Israelis Could Commit Genocide For Years And Then Demand Sympathy - And Other Notes Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley):

Only Israelis Could Commit Genocide For Years And Then Demand Sympathy, And Other Notes

I’m sorry but it’s just plain hilarious that we’re still expected to hate Hamas after spending two years being shown exactly what it is that Hamas has been fighting.

The same people who insisted devout Catholic Joe Biden was leading a “war on Christianity” are now cheering Trump on as his armed goons assault clergymen.

Farage is not only one of the big-asset-owning class, he is also a member of the fascistic international - Trump, Banner, Urban, Netanyahu, Modi, etc.. Of course they are not interested in public welfare, in the UK or anywhere else - they want yet more inequality, privatisation, precarity, & anger.

Since the start of Israel's war on Gaza two years ago, Gaza’s Civil Defence has been under enormous pressure. The rescue workers know every mission could be their last.

Not content with locking up pensioners and priests for opposing the ban on Palestine Action, Shabana Mahmood now wants to ban protests in solidarity with Palestine.
She's violating our civil liberties and the right to protest
— all while supporting the flow of arms to the apartheid genocidal state of Israel.
I hope the ministerial car was worth throwing
Palestinians under the bus.
Shame on her.

Depuis la décision d'E. Macron de baisser l'impôt sur les sociétés, l’imposition des grandes entreprises a davantage diminué, aggravant les inégalités entre les grandes entreprises et les PME.

Depuis la décision d'E. Macron de baisser l'impôt sur les sociétés, l’imposition des grandes entreprises a davantage diminué, aggravant les inégalités entre les grandes entreprises et les PME.

[Le saviez-vous ?]

Les grandes entreprises paient beaucoup moins d’impôt que les PME : 14,3 % contre 21,4 %. Cet écart grandit. Pas uniquement parce qu'elles font de l'évasion fiscale, mais aussi parce qu'elles réduisent leur IS sur leurs activités réalisées en FR.

They're thugs, sure zero sympathy; but they are not in positions of power, they're fodder for the class that's actually getting richer out of fostering abuse, fostering racism, fostering inequality & injustice, & doing nothing about the degradation of the environment.

The latest revelations about Charlie Kirk's murder are insane Charlie Kirk’s grieving friend Candace Owens has been doing the job of the FBI recently.

The latest revelations about Charlie Kirk's murder are insane - there's further evidence that this obviously very professional assassination - a speciality of Mossad - was carried out by the Israelis, & then propagandised as the work of anti-imperialists.

The vast wealth of the big-asset owning class & its rapid exponential increase not only leads to them buying up & messing up the public realm, & to absurd expenditures - yachts, private jets, the means to kill everyone several times over - also to lemming behaviour, & unpredictable instability.

Gold has climbed above $4,000 a troy ounce for the first time, capping a dizzying rally as investors - including central banks - worried about inflation & soaring debt levels & trying to diversify their piles of wealth away from dollars buy the precious metal.

Blame the dominating class, who are resorting to fascistic acts, bringing to US cities the ways they always used to treat people in more abject peripheries of the empire.

ICE is a theatre of cruelty, but just more obviously so than the police or the prisons. The staff of these institutions are themselves likely the victims of abuse who have found a way to take it out on others in a socially legitimised manner - they are relatively powerless.

Those who are zip-tying a child's hands are doing wrong: but they are acting on instructions from politicians who are acting for the interests of the big-asset-owning class, who are responsible, more responsible because they have power.

Private wealth necessarily creates scarcity, as well as generating the violent domination necessary to sustain it.

Right-wing politicians are claiming that inequality is falling in the UK based on a tiny change in one national statistic. This is not the case in reality. Inequality is rising. In this post, I explain why and what we can and should do about it.

Perhaps a world of private frugality & public wealth is an acceptable goal? What is held in private ownership has to be taken away from what is available to all, thus inevitably creating scarcity, as well as needing the violence involved in its taking.

Britain is continuing to spy for Israel using its Cyprus air base.

Officially, these missions support hostage searches, but evidence suggests they aid Israeli strikes that have killed civilians.

Their conspicuous silence, even as a war minister labels 250,000 civilians “terrorists,” reveals “Western values” as nothing but a cynical façade masking their hypocrisy and racial hierarchy.

A "heinous antisemitic attack" which occurred not long after several commentators had predicted that Zionist false flag operations would be likely across the imperialist-leaning "west" to try to bolster Ioyalty to Israel, & acceptance of fascistic authoritarian regimes supportive of it.

Taxing wealth but not changing the system, allowing domination - bullying, abuse, neglect, violence - to continue will help slow down the increasing ownership of everything by fewer & fewer people, but not stop it in time for most of us on the planet to survive.

This would be a frugal society in which we all had access to public services, housing, food, transport, education, health care. The systems of violence that sustain private accumulation would have to be repressed.
