As the question of #Brexit rears up again perhaps it's time to revisit 'The Fate of Greece' and how it's #EU membership did nothing for Greek workers.

One of the most ludicrous notions perpetuated by the left is the assertion that unions and their leaders are immune to criticism. In reality, fostering an environment where workers feel empowered to scrutinise all facets of organisational operations is essential for upholding transparency and integrity.
When workers actively engage in critical analysis at every level of the organisation, it serves as a safeguard against corruption and ensures accountability.
The reluctance to accept constructive criticism often stems from a desire to maintain control and authority within the union hierarchy, rather than a genuine commitment to the welfare of its members.

Under protection of bystanding police, zionists violently attacked pro-Palestinian demonstrators at UCLA, drawing parallels to the IOF's protection of zionist settlers that attack Palestinian villages.
In contrast to the massive police presence seen at other universities, UCLA and city police were few in number, doing little to stop the provocateurs who shot fireworks and assaulted those calling for an end to genocide.
Whether it is evacuation notices, a heavy militarized and repressive police force, shutting down WiFi and water (such as at University of Minnesota), or shutting down community pantries and gates to starve student protestors (at CUNY and Columbia) as collective punishment, the parallels between the methods of oppression in the US and zionist entity are as clear as day.
Despite the repression at UCLA, students are holding the line, rebuilding barricades, and standing steadfast in their encampment.

The USA is once again showing its weakness through the brutal oppression of students who have occupied campuses across the country.
The use of counter-protest gangs to violently attack students is a timely tactic to manipulate useful idiots into doing the dirty work, after which the heavily militarized police mop up and make arrests.
The USA's, as well as the UK's, support of Israel and the genocide it is committing in Palestine is proving unshakable due to Israel's strategic importance as a vital component of Western hegemony. Their heavy-handed approach is steeped in the understanding that they have built a house of cards that the workers are more than capable of knocking down.

Remembering the victims of the Odessa trade union house massacre, ten years on.
This is the truth about ‘democratic’ Ukraine: it is a puppet state run by the CIA, in which a proxy army motivated by a supremacist fascist ideology is used to impose the imperialist diktat on the local population. The US and their local stooges have turned the whole of Ukraine into a battering ram against Russia, which they want to destroyed as an independent, sovereign country.
Since they can no longer persuade their own people to fight their aggressive wars abroad this has become the imperialists’ favoured tactic. Along with their Israeli zionist footsoldiers in the middle east, they have created Ukrainian Banderites footsoldiers in eastern Europe, and wahhabist footsoldiers across west and central Africa, Iraq and Syria. Chinese in Taiwan and Koreans in south Korea are being similarly brainwashed into hatred for their compatriots and trained to be cannon fodder in the war in east Asia that the imperialists are hoping to launch.
The Russian people are fighting on one of the crucial frontlines of a titanic struggle – the same struggle that British workers also need to engage in. It is only with the complete destruction of imperialism that workers at home and abroad will be able to solve their problems and build a decent future free from poverty, crisis and endless bloody wars.

Odessa after the massacre: nine years later the wounds are still fresh
The west continues to ignore, downplay and misrepresent the trade unionists who were burned alive in Odessa’s trade union building by Nato’s fascist stormtroopers.

On May 2, 2014, the Odessa Massacre became a turning point in the Ukrainian crisis after the Maidan. Local peaceful protesters challenged what they perceived as a regime change and perished in the process. The official death toll was 48, whereas the unofficial numbers exceeded 100.
During the clashes with the pro-Maidan ultra-nationalists, the anti-Maidan activists ended up trapped in the House of Trade Unions which was then set on fire likely by their radical opponents. There is plenty of footage of those wrapped in Ukrainian flags making Molotov cocktails. These radicals then blocked the exits of the building. Whereas some victims died from their burns and smoke inhalation, others were shot or attacked and killed as they jumped out of the burning building.
As for the perpetrators, justice was never fully served.
The sheer brutality of this massacre was one of the reasons why the protest wave against the regime change in Ukraine died down in traditionally Russophone cities.

Novara media trying to do a hit job on Galloway about gay rights is ridiculous when you consider that the likes of Ash Sarkar have supported the sterilisation and castration of lesbian and gay children and called it "liberation". These hypocrites cheered on some very anti gay policies in the name of their embrace of gender ideology so for them to now try to frame Galloway as the villain is laughable. There are many critiques to be made of Galloway but none of them can be made by this collection of establishment stooges who masquerade as "radicals" and who have never met a cause they wouldn't sell out in a heartbeat.
