In an era where the West appears to be once again spoiling for war with Russia, the wisdom of Marshal Georgy Zhukov's famous words feels more relevant than ever. His insights, forged in the crucible of some of the most devastating conflicts in history, serve as a stark reminder of the catastrophic consequences of war. As tensions escalate and rhetoric grows more bellicose, Zhukov’s words stand as a powerful reminder of the true intentions of the capitalist countries of Europe.

Greece is paralyzed by a militant general strike. Workers are refusing to work for low wages amid the sky-rocketing cost of living under the neoliberal Mitsotakis government.

Solidarity with Palestine is also present at the mobilization. Last month, Greek dockers refused to load ammunition shipments destined for Israel.

The Merseyside Pension Fund handles the pensions of many thousands of public-sector workers in the region and has been found to have significant investments in a company called NCH Capital.

Formed in 1993, NCH has made billions in profits from the privatisation of land in the former socialist countries of eastern Europe. Before the counter-revolutions of 1989-91, land in the USSR and socialist bloc countries was considered to be the property of the whole people – that was a clause in the Soviet constitution. The land was worked by collective farms, cooperatives and some small-scale farmers.

Following the counter-revolutions that destroyed the socialist systems, the land was sold off to companies like NCH Capital, which picked up the land at knock-down prices and profited massively thereby. One of their big targets was Ukraine, known as the ‘bread basket of Europe’ on account of its highly fertile soil. NCH Capital’s deals with the Kiev dictatorship led to its becoming one of the largest landowners in the country.

Such business deals enrich NCH capital and bring a huge return to investors – all on the back of robbing the Ukrainian people blind.

⏳📚THIS DAY IN HISTORY🇮🇪💥🇬🇧

The Irish Citizen Army (ICA), a paramilitary group founded on November 23, 1913, by James Larkin, James Connolly, and Jack White, emerged from the Lockout of 1913 in Dublin to protect workers' demonstrations against police violence.

Initially armed with hurleys and bats, the ICA was established as a workers' militia by the Irish Transport and General Workers' Union.

In 1916, it played a key role in the Easter Rising, standing out for its superior training and cohesion compared to the larger Irish Volunteers.

The ICA later participated in the War of Independence, managing parts of Dublin and assisting the Irish Republican Army in operations against British rule.

British police are raiding the homes of Palestine Action activists

Over 10 homes have been raided, where property has been destroyed and windows smashed. The police targeted houses of those who they allege were involved in shutting down the Elbit Systems hub in Bristol.

Renters organized a mass march against “parasitic” landlords in Barcelona this weekend. Property developers, speculators, and Airbnb owners have all made life impossible for local residents. Young workers in particular pay around 50% of their salaries in rent.
