🟡 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.

Expanded zionist aggression and the response of the resistance | The Communists

A strange shift has taken place in British culture. We've started treating multinational corporations as if they're staples of our national identity. Greggs, Wetherspoons, WHSmith – just because they've been around for years doesn't mean they're part of our heritage. They're not symbols of British culture; they're just big businesses exploiting the working class. These companies aren't interested in community or tradition; their only concern is profit. They leech off our labour, pay low wages, and strip local high streets of independent shops. It's time we stop romanticising these corporations as cultural icons and recognise them for what they really are: just another set of businesses squeezing every last penny from hard-working people.

Let's not forget Labour's role in selling out our NHS. It was under Tony Blair's Labour that PFIs became the norm for funding our hospitals. Sure, PFIs were first introduced by the Tories, but it was Labour that took this disastrous policy and ran with it, turning our healthcare system into a cash cow for private companies. They handed over control of hospital construction and management to profit-driven corporations, locking the NHS into decades-long contracts that bleed money from the public purse.

These PFI deals were nothing short of a con. Shiny new hospitals built on borrowed money, with the public paying back the costs many times over for bare bones service. Labour didn't just open the door to privatisation; they threw it wide open and welcomed private enterprise with open arms, saddling the NHS with crippling debt meant to help corporate health profit from it's destruction.

Labour likes to pose as the party of the NHS, living off the reforms of 45-52, but the truth is, they were just as complicit as the Tories in it's servitude of British capitalism. They didn’t care about protecting the NHS; they cared about cutting deals with big business and hiding debts off the books. Let’s be clear: Labour helped drive our health service into the ground, making it ripe for privatisation. 

There is no "two state solution".

If you support a two state solution you are a zionist.

The world has seen through zionism. It is finished.

The solution is the abolition of the terrorist entity that is Israel.

🇫🇷⚽️-Today, at 8:45PM local time, is the anticipated friendly France-Israel match with everyone knowing there will be violence.

So far, at least three notable pro-jewish organizations have announced publicly they will be at the stadium with around a dozen of pro-Palestine ultra groups present too.
