‘Labour landslide’ election narrative hides deepening crisis of legitimacy

Posted by: John Phoenix The ruling class pulled out all the stops to ensure a stable parliamentary majority for Labour, but it rests on very shaky ground. Proletarian writers Subscribe to our channel British-Palestinian Leanne Mohamad's vibrant campaign in Ilford North came within a hair’s breadth of unseating arch-zionist Labour minister Wes Streeting in an election that saw Labour’s vote slashed by a wave of anti-genocide protest votes. While the ruling class was able to manipulate the election to achieve its desired aim this time, the long-term damage to Labour may be irreparable. The official narrative about the UK’s general election 2024, as summed up by outgoing prime minister Rishi Sunak during his initial concession of defeat, was that...

‘Israeli’ boycott motion passed by Dublin Food Co-Op

Posted by: John Phoenix THE Dublin Food Co-Op has voted to boycott Nazi goods in solidarity with the people of Palestine. Previous attempts over the past two years failed to reach consensus or when put to a vote failed to reach the required 75% quota needed. The vote, held just before Christmas, was 50 in favour of the boycott to 6 against. While the Dublin Food Co-Op itself has an unwritten 'policy' not to stock or sell Nazi produce, some of the fruit and vegetable producer/sellers have sold Nazi produce much to the disquiet of many members. Until recently, inadequate labeling of products meant that members may not have known they were purchasing Israeli produce unless they were specifically asked. The Co-Op does stock some Palestinian produce (as a gesture of positiv...

UK fails to pay “divorce bill” to EU in line with agreed schedule

Posted by: John Phoenix Although the United Kingdom formally left the European Union in January 2020 and agreed to make payments—the so-called “divorce bill”—to the tune of about £39 billion, London has reportedly failed to meet its commitments, raising greater doubt that the debt can be paid by the originally agreed 2057 deadline, which has now been extended to 2065. Yet, despite failing to meet payments and debt continuing to mount, Britain prioritises Ukraine instead of alleviating the suffering citizens who are struggling to overcome a cost-of-living crisis. Payment disagreements first emerged in July 2021, when London rejected the European bloc’s estimate of a total bill of £40.8 billion, with the British insisting that the figure was between £35 billion and £39 bil...

More dead children. More BBC ‘news’ channelling Nazi propaganda as its own

Posted by: John Phoenix Victims are transported to the hospital following a missile attack that killed children at a soccer game in the town of Majdal Shams in the northern Golan Heights, Israel on July 27, 2024. (screen image) Forget a 10-month genocide in Gaza. Only when Israel can exploit the deaths of Syrians living under its military occupation are we supposed to start worrying about the ‘consequences’ of war by Jonathan Cook, reposted from Jonathan Cook Blog, July 28, 2024 BBC coverage of the attack on a soccer game in the Golan Heights on Saturday has been intentionally misleading. The BBC’s evening news entirely ignored the fact that those killed by the blast are a dozen Syrians, not Israeli citizens, and that for decades the surviving Syrian ...

Declassified UK – an ideological defence mechanism of imperialism in its final death throes

Posted by: John Phoenix How the imperialists allow criticism of past offences in order to whitewash the crimes of the present. Declassified UK is an online media publisher consisting of a group of journalists and editors under a board of directors funded by big capital (‘trusts and foundations’), according to its website, which paradoxically also claims that its journalists are ‘independent’. What can seem paradoxical about this well-funded investigative reporting outlet is the extent to which its authors are able to examine the details of British imperialism’s historical crimes. This seems strange until one understands it as a last-ditch attempt to keep on side the growing number of people who have begun to glimpse behind the curtain of pro-imperialist narratives, l...

STALIN on the Labour Party and on NATO

Posted by: John Phoenix Apropos of the Statement of Mr. Morrison [the British Foreign Secretary ot the then Labor governement] Mr. Morrison has put forward two sets of questions: questions concerning internal politics and those dealing with external politics. Internal Politics Mr. Morrison affirms that in the Soviet Union there is no freedom of speech, press or personal freedom. Mr. Morrison is grievously mistaken. In no other country exists such kind of freedom of speech, press or personal freedom, organisations for workers, peasants and the intelligentsia as in the Soviet Union. Nowhere are there as many clubs for workers and peasants, as many newspapers specifically for them as in the Soviet Union. Nowhere has the working class been organised in such a system...

Revisionism and the general election

Posted by: John Phoenix The opportunism and dogmatism of the Communist Party of Britain (CPB), and its predecessor organisation the Communist Party of Great Britain post 1951, is well known to all genuine Marxist-Leninists and anti-imperialists. The fateful decision taken in 1951 to advocate for supporting the Labour Party is one that has never been reversed and ultimately led to the destruction of the old CPGB in 1988, the new version that emerged since then has kept this fatal error in its updated version of the bible of British opportunism entitled The British Road to Socialism. As the working class has turned against the Labour Party in ever greater numbers over the years, the CPB remained absolutely committed to the line that the Labour Party must be suppor...

A specific communist’s perspective of a general election

Posted by: John Phoenix A lot has changed since the general election of 2019 and, from the British working class’s perspective, none of it has been positive. From this writer’s personal perspective, the fact that I am a now committed communist has been transformational. It’s important to explain a little of my journey to this moment because it has relevance to my understanding of the 2024 election. It gives some context to my grasp of the nature and makeup of our world, and how it influences my approach to the spectacle and farce we call democracy. Most importantly, I hope it will resonate with you the reader …. My parents were communists so my entire childhood was steeped in the language of socialism and the pursuit of justice, freedom and the defeat of capitalism. As a chi...

Ukraine – a futile imperialist peace summit

Posted by: John Phoenix Back in May, without making much of a splash in the mainstream press, China and Brazil presented a joint proposal to start peace talks that would include both Kiev and Russia. Unlike the sham peace talks being planned by Switzerland to take place in Lucerne, the China/Brazil talks would include both Moscow and Kiev, reasoning that you cannot get far trying to negotiate peace if one of the sides is banned from entry. China and Brazil had no plans to send a high level delegation on a wild goose chase around the Alps, preferring to press for genuine talks. The sham summit, which opened on 14 June, was certainly a grand affair. The Swiss government invited over 160 countries, put the delegates in a posh hotel overlooking Lake Lucerne, and announced that t...

This being the case, is there any hope of ever changing U.S. policy? President Bill Clinton as well as most members of Congress support Israel—and they know why. U.S. Jews sympathetic to Israel donate lavishly to their campaign coffers. The answer to achieving an even-handed Middle East policy might lie elsewhere—among those who support Israel but don’t really know why. This group is the vast majority o...
