He's your Prime Minister? He's the Prime Minister of the Canadian capitalist ruling class and its state. Canadian nationalism is political poison, as 'Marx' ought to know. All efforts to pressure Canadian imperialism, for 'leftists' to serve as its moralists and policy advisers is reactionary.

As Trump assembles dictatorial regime, Biden offers β€œsmoothest” transition As more and more provocative cabinet picks are announced, including Matt Gaetz for attorney general, the Democratic Party and the Biden administration are engaged in unrestrained collaboration.

Of course they had "something prepared." They are prepared to give him everything he wants.
You complain as if the political differences between the Democrats and Trump were principled, as opposed to merely tactical.

I'm back on X, on the condition that I delete my reply to the General's Remembrance Day post, which I did. The original thread remains unmolested, with more than 4000 views. What the General really must have objected to was my anti-war message. The struggle goes on. ✊

Since my ban from Twitter seems to be a thing, over the coming weeks I will attempt to re-create some of my historical threads from Twitter, starting with my Remembrance Day thread which the Canadian Army seems to find so objectionable. Fortunately, I keep my receipts. Stay tuned.

Trump vows military roundups of millions of immigrants In a social media post, Trump declared it was β€œTrue!!!” that he would declare a national emergency to wage war on migrants.

"The scale of the threatened mass deportation effort is staggering. The largest number of immigrants ever deported in a single year is the 430,000 deported in 2013 by the Obama administration."
We must build a revolutionary socialist leadership in the working class.

Aidan Beatty’s hackwork: The Israel-Zionist connection The academic career of prominent DSA member Aidan Beatty, the author of a slanderous trash biography of long-time Trotskyist leader Gerry Healy, has been funded by Zionist institutions and Israeli-sta...

A critical take-down of an unprincipled historical falsifier and hack - working for Israel.
"The dubious character of Beatty’s sudden fascination with Healy is heightened by the fact that the author has no background in British labor or political history..."

A carnival of reaction: G20 meets for summit in Rio The election of Trump is the filthiest expression of the brutal restructuring of society being carried out by the financial oligarchy via war, genocide and draconian exploitation of the working class.

Read today's Perspective:
"The reactionary, thoroughly unpopular maneuvers of the various corporate-controlled politicians in Rio expose the dead end of the capitalist system...."

They won't tell me. I'm stuck in a Kafkaeque Mobius Strip with Twitter's AI, to whom my case seems to have been delegated. They ask me to 'prove I'm human' which I do. They ask again. I prove. Then they tell me - 'Too many attempts! Try again later!" Then the cycle repeats.

If you can help me sound the alarm comrade, I would be grateful. I'm being censored by the Commander of the Canadian Army.

I am now totally shut out of my Twitter / X account. If any of you follow me on X / Twitter, please re-post my anti-war thread, and tag the Lt. General and Twitter Support to get this unjust ban reversed.

I say to the Canadian Army "We won't fight. We won't pay. Not one more dime for your criminal, imperialist wars!" And the general responds by trying to silence my Twitter feed. I say is an enemy of free speech and the working class.

This is the image of a wounded soldier from WWI which I shared, and about which the General complained. It IS gruesome. However, I say that such gruesome photos MUST be seen, because this is the reality of imperialist war - not the lies and patriotic filth spouted by the commander of the Canadian Army, Lt. General Michael Wright.

The Commander of the Canadian Army, Lt General Michael Wright has maliciously reported me to X for sharing 'gratuitous images of violence' in a tweet opposing war, and a thread exposing the reality of imperialist violence, in which the Lt. General trades.
