“The more quickly and thoroughly the Chinese peasantry is drawn into the revolution, the stronger and more powerful the anti-imperialist front in China will be.” -J.V. Stalin, ‘The Prospects of the Revolution in China,’ 1926. Collected Works, Vol. 8

My interview in today's Observer explaining why we will never back down.
Direct action against Elbit is about saving lives, and the 4,000 people arrested for holding signs are not just showing their support for Palestine but are also defying the complete erosion of free speech.
I'll be hosting this. Looking forward to discussing a great book with comrades Salvatore and @Huck1995

The final work of Domenico Losurdo, one of the foremost philosophers and historians of Marxism of the modern era. 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘴𝘵 𝘘𝘶𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯: 𝘏𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘺 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘍𝘶𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘢𝘯 𝘐𝘥𝘦𝘢 continues and develops the critique that began in 𝘞𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘯 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘹𝘪𝘴𝘮: 𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘪𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘉𝘰𝘳𝘯, 𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘪𝘵 𝘋𝘪𝘦𝘥, 𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘪𝘵 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘣𝘦 𝘙𝘦𝘣𝘰𝘳𝘯 2025).
In the wake of the USSR’s dissolution, Marxism, in particular the variant Losurdo identifies as “Western Marxism,” has entered a seemingly irreversible crisis. Persuasively arguing that this outcome is not inevitable, Losurdo undertakes a non-apologetic historical and philosophical evaluation of the Soviet experience and of Marxism in its entirety. Extending the inquiry, and with an eye on contemporary developments such as Marxist theory and practice in the People’s Republic of China, Losurdo assesses the theoretical and practical prospects Marxism retains and asks what it can build in the future. ~ Iskra Books

On 13th November, the Spanish high court will hear Fergie Chamber's request to block his extradition to the US.
Trump's administration are playing dirty tricks to persecute Fergie, including falsifying evidence.
Spain must grant asylum and free Fergie.

"The freedom of the working class must be the work of the working class. And let it be remembered that timidity in the slave induces audacity in the tyrant, but the virility and outspokenness of the revolutionists ever frightens the oppressor himself to hide his loathesomeness under the garb of reform. And thus remembering, fight for your class at every point." –James Connolly, ’Erin’s Hope.’ Complete Shorter Works

Unions under socialism: the dialectics of Chinese labour
China’s trade union federation has grown faster than any union federation in history – from 134 million to around 300 million members in two decades, with union density of around 75 percent, compared with around 20 percent in Britain and 10 percent in the US. Yet in the West, including on much of the left, Chinese unions are routinely dismissed as fake or as tools of an authoritarian state.
In this contribution to a @CTW_ATC panel on @immanuelness new book on the dialectics of Chinese labour, I try to explain why.
Trade unions work differently under socialism: workers are not struggling against the state as an agent of capital, but with the state against capital. And China is still a developing country, where modernisation is essential to escaping dependence on the imperialist core.
Seeing only the “sweatshop” snapshot, I argue, is a fundamentally undialectical way of looking at Chinese labour, and it misses the whole trajectory and the class dynamics.

On this day, 47 years ago, the Black Liberation Army heroically freed Assata Shakur from prison.
From Prairieland, to the Filton 25, to Fergie Chambers, to Jahki McCray: liberation for our political prisoners, by any means necessary.
