We should never underestimate the emotive importance of statues

By: Shannon Ebrahim We should never underestimate the emotive importance of statues and what they mean in our society. They are a reminder of the people our society considered great, people worthy of respect and looking up to. That is why we put them on pedestals and honour them in central places in our towns and cities, so future generations will pay tribute to them. The problem is that in the US, the UK and South Africa there are numerous statues of men who were the opposite of great - they were the personification of evil. There are statues of men in the southern US who spent their lives fighting to keep African-Americans enslaved. There are statues of men in the UK, like slave trader Edward Colston, who captured more than 100 000 African men, women and children, hoarded t...

The Global Reset – Unplugged. “The Deep State”

By: Peter Koenig Imagine, you are living in a world that you are told is a democracy – and you may even believe it – but in fact your life and fate is in the hands of a few ultra-rich, ultra-powerful and ultra-inhuman oligarchs. They may be called Deep State, or simply the Beast, or anything else obscure or untraceable – it doesn’t matter. They are less than the 0.0001%. For lack of a better expression, let’s call them for now “obscure individuals”. These obscure individuals who pretend running our world have never been elected. We don’t need to name them. You will figure out who they are, and why they are famous, and some of them totally invisible. They have created structures, or organisms without any legal format. They are fully out of international legality. They are a ...

Covid-19 furlough scheme: a bonanza for big business

While thousands of workers find themselves without a job, bosses are cashing in on the ‘free money’ of the furlough scheme. Proletarian writers While many of the poorest and most insecure workers are not entitled to any protection at all, not having PAYE contracts in the first place, big corporations are taking the opportunity to sub huge pay packets for directors from the public purse. A new word has entered the popular vocabulary. Instead of being laid off when Covid-19 called time on production, workers are now told they have been furloughed. What is the difference between being laid off and being furloughed? Well, the theory is that this way, when the economy emerges on the other side of the health emergency, you can have your old job back – on the som...

Black and white: unite and fight

Workers of the world, unite. You have nothing to lose but your chains. You have a world to win! Party leaflet Download black and white, unite and fight leaflet ***** Destroying workers’ power In order to keep the obscenely unequal imperialist system in place, and to preserve their tremendous wealth and power, the billionaire capitalist class has become very experienced at dividing the oppressed. Racism is used to make us redirect the anger and frustration that should be focused on the capitalist system at our fellow workers. The job of bourgeois political parties is to protect the interests of the exploiting class. That’s why they turn a blind eye to the pollution of the planet, send working-class kids to die in predatory wars over resources and markets, and pus...

Yes to Brexit; No to xenophobia

Workers must hold tight to the motto Unity is Strength, and utterly reject the siren songs of racism and xenophobia. Party leaflet Download the Brexit xenophobia leaflet The Brexit vote delivered a splendid blow by workers against British imperialism. Unfortunately, many of those who voted for it were influenced by the cancerous xenophobia that presently affects some sections of the British proletariat. This nasty and highly-publicised aspect of the Brexit campaign led many decent people to vote to remain in the EU, simply to avoid being tainted by association. In doing so, however, they were associating with an even greater evil – the murderous, warmongering, exploitative, oppressive – and, indeed, xenophobic – interests of imperialism. The CPGB-ML is as ...

What’s in S.3176, the goodies-for-'Israel' bill slinking through Congress?

KATHRYN SHIHADAH While America grapples with economic devastation, US Congress is expected to pass S.3176, providing $10 million a day in military aid for Israel for the next 10 years. (US media haven’t mentioned it.) On the first day of the 2020 Congressional session, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) introduced S.3176, the “United States-Israel Security Assistance Authorization Act of 2020.” The bill has been making its way steadily through the legislative pipeline. Last Thursday, it passed the Senate Foreign Relations Committee by very questionable methods. What were the Senators trying to hide? Middle East policy expert Lara Friedman lays out, in language we can understand, the details of this legislation that promises Israel a minimum of $7,000 a minute for the next ten ye...

Why US Police Kill Almost On a Whim

By Ian Greenhalgh History of Joint US-Israeli Police Training Might Explain The Rising Killings of Black Americans by the PoliceThe killing of George Floyd by a white police officer in the US State of Minnesota has been drawing growing worldwide attention, especially as protests in the US and several countries around the world continue to take place, demanding justice for black people.https://twitter.com/swilkinsonbc/status/1266256203258007553 As photos of the killing of George Floyd and many other African Americans by the police spread online, Middle Eastern commentators were reminded of similar violations committed by the Israeli forces against unarmed Palestinians over the years. pdjmoo@pdjmoo #GeorgeFloydThe knee-on-neck, long a staple of #Israel’s occupation of #Pal...

Control the food, and you control the people.”* -Henry Kissenger “Seeds of Destruction: The Hidden Agenda of Genetic Manipulation” by F.

This is no ordinary book about the perils of GMO. Engdahl takes the reader inside the corridors of power, into the backrooms of the science labs, behind closed doors in the corporate boardrooms. The author cogently reveals a diabolical world of profit-driven political intrigue, government corr...
