The various "peace" plans that have been floated in the press and attached to Trumps name have only one purpose in reality. That aim is to ensure that the defeat suffered by the US imperialists in Ukraine is not acknowledged and can be concealed as far as possible. Trump has been allowed to come back, in part, to carry out this pull back to do so in a way that doesn't cause a totl collapse in confidence regarding the abilities of US imperialism.

This is a vain hope though as the US clearly has decided to slowly cut off the aid to the Zelensky clique. The power of this clique all derives from the fact that they are the chosen men of US imperialism. If they are no longer seen as agents of the US and gatekeepers of funds from the US then their power will evaporate quicker than a drop of water hitting a red hot frying pan. The risk of a coup agaisnt Zelensky will then escalate rapidly as various factions that are bought off or intimidated by US power will start to fight for power risking the Maidan regime imploding. The US and British will be desperate to avoid this and this is what lies behind the commitment by Starmer to provide £3 billion a year in the hope that this will prop up the Maidan regime for a few more months.

The fact is though that the defeat of NATO in Ukraine is now obvious to even the clowns in Whitehall. The argument is not over how to win but how to cover up the defeat. This task will ultimately prove impossible though as the Maidan regimes implosion will happen rapidly as we turn into the 3rd year of the SMO and the departure of US imperialism from Ukraine becomes more clear.

Don't waste your time hating the leaders of the country—be it Biden, Trump, Sunak, or Starmer. They are nothing more than puppets for the true power behind the throne: mere signatories of contracts and spokespeople for those we never elected.

Modern feminism, as a bourgeois construct, deepens divisions by pitting women against men, husband against wife, brother against sister. Working class people fighting over their minor differences.

Genuine freedom can only come from the emancipation of the workers.

Zionist and Western politicians are crying wolf again. When they say that “pogroms” against Jews were conducted in Amsterdam, show them this video. Maccabi football club hooligans thought no one would mind their vitriolic stampede across the city, assaulting a taxi driver, desecrating Palestinian flags, and chanting about killing Arabs. They even blatantly disrespected a minute of silence for the victims of the floods in Valencia. In response, people in Amsterdam sprang to the defense of their city and the people of Palestine.

🟡 NEW: German police arrest internationally-wanted “High-Profile” Anti-Fascist in Thuringia. The man is accused of leading a group responsible for planning and carrying out attacks on fascists.

He is allegedly connected to the same group as Lina E., who is now in custody. Lina E. was sentenced to over five years in prison in 2023 for organizing similar attacks. The sentence sparked intense protests across Leipzig.

While Germany’s police intensify crackdowns on anti-fascists, leftists, and especially pro-Palestine activists, far-right crimes in the country continue to surge. Government records show that, as of 2023, at least 4,248 left-wing offenses were documented—while there were about 25,000 documented right-wing crimes.

Germany’s police force remains deeply infiltrated by far-right elements. Earlier this year, officials acknowledged that around 400 officers were identified as right-wing extremists. The real number is likely far higher.

Who better than old fat Mike to be the chief US cheerleader for genocide in Tel Aviv.

Daniel De Leon on drug addiction. This is from an article written in 1906 and shows that De Leon had a far greater understanding of drug addiction and it's causes among the working class than almost every contemporary leftist.

A contemporary yesterday published an article by a well-known charity worker, showing the appalling growth of the drug habit in all grades of society.

Opium, morphine and cocaine are said to have today more than 50,000 slaves in New York City. Radical action is demanded from medical and legislative authorities. While these may mitigate the evil complained of, they cannot eradicate it.

The drug habit is the unfailing accompaniment of the neurosis produced by this wonderful age of private-owned machinery. Machinery imposes an exhaustive drain on the nervous system. It compels an acceleration and competition in all departments of life, that is reflected in increased physical breakdown. Drugs then step in as a stimulant.

Further, machinery has the tendency to drive men out of fruitful beneficial production into parasitic occupations. Among the latter are the quack and the drug seller. These batten upon the nervous and the physical wrecks of society, dosing them with narcotics and otherwise encouraging the spread of the drug habit, in order that they may eke out a livelihood and attain a competence in their nefarious callings.

Were their victims able to secure the rest, change of scene, and wholesome, normal conditions they so much need, these rogues would be without a means of existence. But such is capitalism that any relaxation of effort entails a loss of position and business standing. Men must keep to their tasks if they would succeed and survive. The result is the condition that now proves so appalling.

The only cure is to eradicate the cause of the evil by making machinery common property, so that it may serve as a blessing, instead of a means of competitive destruction and thieving profit to private individuals, as at present. With machinery common property, the hours of labor and the stress of occupation will be proportionate to the progress of invention and the general well-being of society. Franklin, even in his day, estimated that four hours of labor would be ample to supply the needs of civilized man under a proper social system employing machinery. Then neurosis will disappear, and with it will go the vile drug habit and all that thereby hangs.

The unrest in Amsterdam is continuing even after the departure of the Zionist hooligan-war criminals. Last night, people set a tram on fire, launched fireworks, and threw stones at cars. Several arrests were made.

On Sunday, hundreds of locals protested against the genocide in Palestine and against the mayor’s ban on free assembly. The police responded by making over a hundred arrests and violently attacking protesters.

This all follows the media manipulation and distortion of the provocations by Tel Aviv Maccabi hooligans last Wednesday.

Marco Rubio is set to be the next US Secretary of State. Trump claims that he wants to “end wars,” but has just put one of the most war-obsessed members of his party in charge of foreign relations.
