On one side were hedge funds that had bet big on stock prices dropping for the video game store chain GameStop and other companies. On the other, a large number of small investors coordinating on online platforms such as Reddit’s WallStreetBets forum to buy shares and encouraging others to d...

Follow him on Twitter @KitKlarenbergA newly released raft of government papers has revealed the British Broadcasting Corporation’s extensive involvement in spreading pro-London, pro-EU, and pro-NATO messaging across the Balkans.

The exposure raised serious questions about the BBC...

Dominic Cummings: Boris Johnson knows its ‘ludicrous’ he is prime minister

“He is more useless than the media portray and more capable of ruthlessness than they ever portray" By Jim W. Dean, …from Politico [ Editor’s Note: VT tagged Boris Johnson as a ‘goof ball’ from day one, and we do not claim a lot of credit for figuring out what was so obvious. Mass media also knew this instantly, but as has long been the case, certain countries’ heads of state are given a media pass when they have a resident goof ball. Take Donald Duck Trump for instance. As even a broken clock can be right twice a day, Johnson must get some credit for getting through Brexit, although a lot of skillful Parliament negotiating also played a key role, and it held onto Northern Ireland and Wales. I viewed Boris as the frat boy who never grew up, with the silly haircut...

False antisemitism insulates ‘Israel’ and hurts the movement for justice

CONTACT@IFAMERICANSKNEW.ORG Advocating for Palestinian rights is falsely labeled “antisemitism” by some pro-Israel groups. (Pictured: 2019 pro-Palestinian rights demonstration.) A Jewish American exposes the often-used tactic of deflecting criticism of Israel by viewing it falsely through a lens of antisemitism. Even some supporters of Palestinian rights miss the sleight-of-hand that casts this negative light on their own movement and have mistakenly attacked longtime activists. by Ira Glunts, reposted from the Palestine Chronicle, June 2, 2021 Unfounded or unconfirmed charges of antisemitism made by US pro-Israel organizations, which are then parroted by the pro-Zionist US mainstream press, always increase when Israeli actions become so hideous they shame ...

Why the Bourgeoisie Loves the Gig Economy

You can follow the show on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Today we continue a series of discussions about the basics of Marxism — a method for understanding and changing the world used by many of the great revolutionaries of modern history. We discuss the Marxist understanding of the so-called gig economy. More and more workers are forced to make ends meet driving for Lyft or Uber, delivering food or an ever expanding number of irregular jobs. But far before smartphones and the internet, capitalism has long depended on precarious labor. Richard Wolff i...

The reactionary nightmare of ‘gender fluidity’

We do not advocate and we cannot allow the bourgeoisie to impose this divisive ideology upon us. Proletarian writers The following speech was delivered by a central committee member to the party’s eighth congress in September. This is a very interesting debate, comrades. I find it both encouraging and discouraging at the same time. Why are we having this debate? I would like to say that I agree with motion 8. It’s quite clear that this is an issue which is causing genuine confusion – and not only in our party. Our party is the reflection of society, and so if it is confusing us, you can be sure there is a far greater confusion outside our ranks – and that, if you like, is why we’re having this debate. While I am sympathetic with the arguments put forwa...

Naughty boy Hancock had to go. But is replacement Javid an even bigger threat to UK’s health service?

By Stuart Littlewood “If he wishes to command he must first learn to obey.” That was the scorching message in the headmaster’s report to my parents after I’d been sacked as a prefect. Health Secretary Matt Hancock perhaps never had the advantage of such a useful reprimand at school. Hancock was caught on camera embracing and kissing his aide Gina Coladangelo in his office with his hand grasping her bum. Nothing wrong with that, you may say; women in a hot relationship like being squeezed here and there – so what? So this broke all the COVID safety rules Hancock had been bashing the public with. Although Prime Minister Boris Johnson wanted him to stay for the time being, pressure for him to quit went through the roof. Coladangelo has jacked in her job too. How she got it ...
