Communists attend May Day, Labour Party shocked

NOVANEWS John McDonnell is receiving a roasting this year for speaking at Trafalgar Square to our May Day Rally – as Corbyn did last year for speaking to a gathering in Clerkenwell green before the march set off from atop a double-decker bus! It never fails to amaze us that the attacks from the capitalists are so weak – and yet the pusillanimous social democrats reel under their blows, unable to fight them off! Deep in their ill-fated election campaign, Labour struggle to dissociate themselves from any pretence of radicalism, by editing out our flags from their photos and videos, yet they are criticised for appearing in the same street with us anyway – even tainted with the alleged communist penchant for ‘air-brushing history.’ Precisely because there is not a radical bone in th...

Right-Wing Communism in Britain

NOVANEWS Much ado has been made in the revisionist camp about the necessity of supporting Labour, which means, in their view, to completely abandon all revolutionary communist slogans and positions, including minor details such as the dictatorship of the proletariat. To them the most revolutionary act is to tell the working class that Corbyn and Labour are there to solve all our problems, and that all we need to do is to vote Labour on 8 June. To justify this they frantically dredge up quotes from Marx about the situation in 19th century Britain (before the bourgeois state apparatus had been fully developed and deployed in Britain), and very select quotes from Lenin’s “Left-Wing” Communism: an Infantile Disorder. Get the book Unfortunately all this proves is that they are the most d...

Zionist Christian Bigot Farron Sacks former MP David Ward

NOVANEWS Zionist Christian Bigot Farron Sacks former MP David Ward for Calling the Jewish Nazi regime an Apartheid State - The Truth is Anti-Semitic Liberal-Democrats Demonstrate that they are neither Liberal nor Democratic Tim Farron is probably the most lightweight leader that the Liberals/Lib Dems have ever had, despite pretty strong competition. He is also the most right-wing and again the competition is pretty stiff. Over 4 years ago David Ward, the then MP for Bradford East had the whip withdrawn for 3 months for asking "Am I wrong or are am I right? At long last the Zionists are losing the battle - how long can the apartheid State of Israel last?" Lib Dems withdraw party whip from MP David Ward over Israel comments people wanting Farron to be honest Since...

Deceit, Betrayal and the Left: The ‘Traitor of the Year Award’

NOVANEWS Posted by: Sammi Ibrahem,Sr By James Petras Introduction While the Right faithfully supports the policies and interests of its ruling class supporters, the Left has systematically betrayed their political platform promises and deceived its working class, salaried employees, small business and regional supporters. Historic reversals have happened in rapid succession by Leftist leaders, including greater oligarch control over the economy, more dictatorial political domination by imperial powers (US,EU), increasing inequalities and poverty, and ‘Leftist’ support for imperial wars. In some cases leftist leaders have gone beyond their rightist opponents by passing even more extreme reactionary policies upon assuming power. In this essay, we will identify some of the turncoat lefti...

The silence of the pseudo-left on the danger of war

NOVANEWS By Eric London | Defend Democracy Press A wide range of nominally left-wing political groups and publications have acquiesced to a series of dangerous military actions by the Trump administration that have brought the world to the brink of war. On April 13, the US dropped the largest nonnuclear bomb ever deployed in history in the mountains of eastern Afghanistan. The Massive Ordnance Air Blast (MOAB) bomb weighs over 10 tons and is so destructive it reportedly obliterated the homes of peasants living several miles from the drop zone. Four days later, Vice President Michael Pence traveled to the demilitarized zone on the Korean peninsula, where the US has threatened to use preemptive military force against the nuclear-armed North. Pence acknowledged that the MOAB bombing was ...

Olympian Politics: The Australian Olympic Committee

NOVANEWS By Dr. Binoy Kampmark It was a scrappy affair, and it resulted in a predictable result: the re-election of veteran administrator John Coates as president of the Australian Olympic Committee by 58 votes to 35. Such a process was all in all dull but for the notable lid it had blown off regarding Olympic harmony down under. King Coates, as it were, has ruled for 27 years, and had faced no elections. He has made sports personalities drivel with delight at his maneuverings, praising his genius as a politician. (Sports personalities, by this logic, should be kept away from sporting administration.) Over time, he started to resemble a long-in-tooth equatorial dictator, immune from criticism. The length of such a reign had begun troubling a few in the sports establishment....

The Reproduction of Real Life, The Privatization of Politics ‘Video’

NOVANEWS By Prof Michel Chossudovsky and James Corbett Global Research From political and social chaos to economic instability and global warfare, the crises created by the privatisation of politics are increasingly spinning out of control. Today on the GRTV Feature Interview, Michel Chossudovsky examines how all of these crises are converging on one point: the systematic destruction of the “Reproduction of Real Life”. Politics is privatized. When the State is privatized, the societal project is undermined and eventually destroyed. Civilization is collapsing and the Reproduction of Real life is impaired.

A Multipolar World?: “Full Spectrum Superiority”, The Deep State and Global Financial Control

NOVANEWS By Richard C. Cook Global Research Various sources have accused the U.S. of trying to enforce the model of a unitary world where it alone dictates to all other nations. The following essay develops the idea that seeing the world as multipolar instead is much more in consonance with reality. Ability to tolerate the diversity implied by a multipolar world should be seen as a sign not of weakness but of maturity. Such maturity is urgently needed in today’s world, where humanity is sliding down a slippery slope to oblivion. This maturity can only be found if we stay rooted in our spiritual center. While the argument is a philosophical one, it has life or death application to today’s geopolitical conflicts. Nothing could be more dangerous than the growing threats and confli...

Deconstructing the State. Getting Smaller. Developing the Local Economy. Redirecting the Power from the Centre to the Periphery

NOVANEWS Part VI of a Six Part Essay By Arthur D. Robbins Global Research War has indeed become perpetual and peace no longer even a fleeting wish nor a distant memory. We have become habituated to the rumblings of war and the steady drum beat of propaganda about war’s necessity and the noble motives that inspire it. We will close hospitals. We will close schools. We will close libraries and museums. We will sell off our parklands and water supply. People will sleep on the streets and go hungry. The war machine will go on. What are we to do? The following text is Part VI of a broader analysis entitled War and the State: Business as Usual.

The Looting Machine Called Capitalism

NOVANEWS By Dr. Paul Craig Roberts I have come to the conclusion that capitalism is successful primarily because it can impose the majority of the costs associated with its economic activities on outside parties and on the environment. In other words, capitalists make profits because their costs are externalized and born by others. In the US, society and the environment have to pick up the tab produced by capitalist activity. In the past when critics raised the question about external costs, that is, costs that are external to the company although produced by the company’s activities, economists answered that it was not really a problem, because those harmed by the activity could be compensated for the damages that they suffered. This statement was intended to reinforce the cl...
