Microsoft Teams will tell your boss when you’re out of the office Microsoft Teams will soon be able to track when an employee is working from the office, and when they step out.

An excellent point by Rachel Shabi:

#Zionism #antisemitism #israel #gaza #palestine #christianity #evangelical

Is there a source for this. Most of the establishment articles I'm seeing are saying the opposite, but I'd love to get to the truth of it.

The hijacking and weaponisation of antisemitism is nothing new - it has been happening for a hundred years.

It seems a bit unfair to say that the author, who is a revolutionary socialist of many decades and who has deep involvement in working-class activism and organisation, "doesn't understand" the concepts he references in the article.

Breathnach sees social-media-based neo-Stalinism, not as a branch of genuine socialism with which other sincere socialists have minor differences, but as something propagated by authoritarian ruling classes which hinders genuine socialist development and discussion. It is also a reactionary ideology

A very persuasive article on neo-Stalinism by Colm Breathnach - 'The Strange Rebirth of Stalinism'. I recommend it to anyone interested in genuine socialist ideas: independentleft.ie/rebirth-of-s... #Stalinism #Socialism #Marxism

Gary Lineker was driven out the BBC because he opposes genocide It's those who oppose genocide who have sacked, silenced, arrested. The world turned on its head

Gary Lineker was forced out of the BBC because he opposed Israel’s genocide.

Not because anyone actually believes he’s antisemitic in the slightest.

I know it, you know it, and what’s more - the people who drove him out know it.

Marx, unfortunately, never developed a structured analysis of class. The last unfinished chapter of Capital (Vol 3) was apparently his attempt to begin such an analysis. Wright's book aimed to fill this gap.

Anything for a headline from that guy. The writers who phrase it are as bad. I often like to put these things in the context of whether or not we get away with posting it on LinkedIn. "It's all very well emoting about the Israelis..." I'd be quickly called in for a one-to-one.
