Solidarity to the people of Ecuador

Posted by: John Phoenix “A resounding victory for Luisa González, if the election is free and fair enough for this to happen, will demonstrate that the Ecuadorian electoral masses have had enough of imperialist super exploitation“. So ended our last article of early March 2025 covering the first round of the Ecuadorian election that saw 15 candidates reduced to just two, neoliberal Daniel Noboa and defender of the people, Luisa González. On Sunday April 13, the runoff round of voting ensued resulting in Ecuador’s market-friendly President Daniel Noboa seeing off rival Luisa González with 55.8 per cent of the vote to González’s 44.4 per cent, with 90 per cent of the vote counted. Noboa’s win gives him a four-year mandate to continue his pretence of ‘war’ on criminal dru...

Falling life expectancy – a sign of The Times

Posted by: John Phoenix As the rising numbers of working poor and unemployed and the rapidly increasing cost of necessaries (food, clothing, housing, utilities) can no longer be contained by Britain’s dwindling social safety net, our bourgeois media are forced to acknowledge the existence of a deep cost of living crisis. How do they portray the misery of existence of the working class without pointing the figure at its root cause – capitalism? They don’t! Their tactics are threefold: reinforce the alleged failure of the only alternative system – socialism; create conflict between sections of the working class so blame is inwardly facing (racism) and expose the powerlessness of the bourgeois state to solve the contradictions of the capitalist system. Only one of their tactics is...

Letter from the frontline. A nurse’s view of the continuing sabotage of the NHS on the road to total privatisation

Posted by: John Phoenix The Labour Party has for many decades been seen by the British working classes as the champion and protector of our National Health Service (NHS). Whilst the Attlee government did create this entity, it was a tactic to appease working class Brits post WW2 and aimed to prevent the spread of the desire for proletarian revolution from the great Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) to our nation. Any illusions of a Labour administration benignly bestowing goodness or succour to the proletariat must surely have been smashed by the experience of the 21st century. Their abysmal record speaks for itself both on the international and domestic fronts. We can expect nothing better from the present Labour government. The NHS itself has been crippled fina...

Is Britain going bust?

Posted by: John Phoenix Britain’s economy is in the world’s largest top ten. Its GDP is about £3,22tn, amounting to about £48,000 per capita. There are estimated to be 31.5 million households in the UK, meaning that GDP per household would amount to some £122,000. Average income per household is in the region of £40,000. It sounds very comfortable, but of course the reality is very different. Inequality of distribution The inequality inherent in the way Britain’s national income is distributed, as evidenced by Britain’s gini coefficient standing (officially) at 0.36, is startling. If wealth distribution were perfectly equal the gini coefficient would be 0, and if all the country’s wealth belonged to a single person it would be 1. The to...

Starmer’s failing militarism

Posted by: John Phoenix As British imperialism slides further into crisis, its political leaders try to cover up this decline by making ever more grandiose pronouncements as to their ability to still “project power” into the world. The declarations made by Sir Keir Starmer regarding his willingness to send British forces to Ukraine should be seen in this light. Since it became clear that the Ukraine war was sliding towards an ignominious defeat for the Nato-backed forces of the Kiev regime, the US under the Trump administration has been trying to play a double game. On the one hand it has been engaging the Russians in negotiations and talking about ‘restoring relations’ with them. On the other it has been pushing the Europeans to (effectively) carry on with the ever-escalating ...

Russia and the DPRK’s military cooperation is anti-imperialism in action

Posted by: John Phoenix After months of gnashing of teeth and screaming by the imperialist press over mere rumours of DPRK military involvement in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, the governments of the DRPK and Russia have calmly confirmed that indeed, north Korean troops have been operating in the Kursk region in Russia. The first stories breaking the ‘news’ that the two countries that had signed an agreement to defend each other had started, well, defending each other appeared towards the end of December of last year (‘North Korean soldier captured in Ukraine dies, reports say’, BBC online, 27 December 2024) with claims that Ukrainian forces had captured and injured ‘a north Korean soldier’. Kiev and Seoul (read imperialist compradors) suddenly claimed that ...

Russia’s victory in Kursk

Posted by: John Phoenix Report on the liberation of Kursk by the Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces Valery Gerasimov to Comrade Supreme Commander-in-Chief, President Vladimir Putin. Valery Gerasimov: Today, we liberated the village of Gornal, the last populated area in the Kursk Region, from Ukrainian units. Units of the 22nd Motor Rifle Regiment of the 72nd Division, the 810th and 40th Separate Marine Brigades, the 177th Separate Marine Regiment and the 1427th Motor Rifle Regiment have particularly distinguished themselves in this regard. The defeat of the armed formations of the Ukrainian armed forces that invaded the Kursk Region has thus been completed. The plans of the Kiev regime to create a so-called strategic bridgehead and disrupt our ...

Ukraine war – approaching the end game

Posted by: John Phoenix The crushing defeat of the West’s proxy forces in Ukraine has kicked the door open to an eventual possible diplomatic solution to the immediate conflict, one that addresses Russia’s legitimate security concerns (namely the aggressive expansion of Nato up to Russia’s borders), advances the denazification of Ukrainian society, and guarantees measures to prevent any future imperialist meddling in the region. No such positive outcome is guaranteed, or is even likely, but at the least the unceremonious dumping of both Brussels and Kiev from the talks draws a clear line dividing the current negotiations from the mendacious travesty of the Minsk process whose sole purpose was to string Russia along whilst Kiev replenished its forces, as was freely attested to b...

GAZA – Nazi Holocaust continues

Posted by: John Phoenix GAZA – the genocide continues This year has been marked by attempts to negotiate a ceasefire in Gaza, agreement being reached, Israel breaching the terms of the agreement and further negotiations. Israel’s aim is to secure the release of the remaining hostages and then resume its genocide unhindered, to include any Palestinian prisoners it may have released from its dungeons. Hamas is insisting on a permanent ceasefire. In the meantime, Israeli aggression and genocide continues. All the time the genocide continues, Israel itself is imploding from within, with its economy in tatters, its army increasingly undermanned and its citizens leaving the country in droves. Israel has therefore been forced, therefore, to engage in ceasefire neg...

Artificial Intelligence (AI) Reach: Boon or Bane? “The Nasty Truth about AIs, Their Lies … “

Posted by: John Phoenix Global Research, I think this should be of wide general interest to anyone who lives in the modern world in which AI agents and chatbots are being thrust upon the public under various guises. There is an ugly aspect of AI most users of AI and its pundits in public don’t much care about… or don’t care about enough in their seduction and rapid adoption of this new fangled beast. There is an inherent insidious problem in LLM based generative AI which its developers are obviously aware of and write academic papers on with platitudes galore. For instance, see: Truthful AI – Developing and governing Al that does not lie. The practical reality however, as I present in this article, as of at least last night, Sunday, May 18, 2025, is different. Not...
