Governments in capitalist society are but committees of the rich to manage the affairs of the capitalist class.

CAPITALISM RED IN TOOTH AND CLAW ...
The largest US insurance company, UnitedHealth, whose CEO was shot dead last month, was caught speculating on cancer drugs by inflating prices by 1,000%.
UnitedHealth found itself at the center of a major scandal after a Federal Trade Commission (FTC) report revealed that its subsidiary and its partners were artificially inflating the cost of drugs, forcing patients to pay ten times more.
UnitedHealth, the largest health insurance provider in the United States, is at the center of a lawsuit over its subsidiary OptumRx. Along with partners Express Scripts and CVS Caremark Rx, it inflated the cost of life-saving medications over five years, violating patients’ rights. According to an FTC report, the companies made an additional $7.3 billion in profits beyond what they actually spent on the drugs.
The study found that some drugs that previously cost $10 were increased to $110, an increase of 1,000 percent. The report cited specific examples: a generic leukemia drug and a drug to treat pulmonary hypertension, which were marked up by more than 1,000 percent. The moves affected one in five drugs on the mandatory coverage list — drugs that are considered essential to patients’ lives. “Freer markets, freer people,” they said.

🇧🇪🤬 BELGIANS STRIKE BECAUSE OF PENSIONS
Tens of thousands of protesters took part in a nationwide strike in Belgium on January 13, 2025, protesting against proposed pension reforms amid protracted negotiations to form a government.
The reforms include raising the retirement age to 67 by 2030, requiring 30 years of work to qualify for a minimum pension, introducing a pension bonus to encourage longer participation in the workforce, and bringing civil servant pensions in line with the private sector to address "fiscal concerns" and secure EU funds.
Demonstrators marched through Brussels, the strike disrupted air travel as almost half of all flights at Brussels airport were cancelled due to striking ground staff.
Rail services were severely restricted, public transport in the capital was badly affected and many schools were closed as teachers joined the protest.

It seems to be comprador Saturday in Central Manchester today. The Pahlavists and the Banderists are out in their usual pathetically small numbers.

I was among a tiny group of people in Britain who tried to set up a Congo solidarity campaign more than 20 years ago.
The so-called 'antiwar movement', trade unions and the rest of the left was patently uninterested. The Congolese comrade on whom we relied for information was locked up in Belmarsh and then deported.
Nobody wanted to know about the 'Playstation wars' devastating Congo to fuel the gaming boom with necessary minerals, in particular Coltan. War to control the looting of Congo's resources continues to this day. 15 million are dead. 7 million more have been displaced. 5 million women and girls have been raped.
If you've ever wondered why Rwanda is Britain's favoured African nation, look at the map. Rwanda is the base for every imperial and corporate army engaged in despoiling Congo.
This is the price of 'progress' under capitalist-imperialism. The Congolese must remain poor and receive endless punishment beatings because Congo is rich.

The ongoing conflict in the democratic republic of Congo 🇨🇩 is one of the world deadliest but yet overlooked crises. Rooted in centuries of exploitation, the war has devastated communities, displaced millions and fueled imaginable sufferings.

Walking along the canalside yesterday close to where I live, I noticed a sign advertising new luxury retirement flats, to be built on a disused car park, on land that used to have leadworks on It. It set me thinking, is this the type of housing we NEED in this area? Will it help with the housing crisis? Absolutely not!
Have a look around your local area, ask yourself, what housing has been built around the locality in the last few years, how much did it cost to buy or rent? Then reflect on what housing your community needs? Then compare the two, see how little they correlate! This illustrates the reason for the housing affordability crisis, what is built is driven by profits in command, what is desperately needed will only be built when we have a planned socialist economy!

Here is the "partnership" non-treaty that the t-shirt clad fraud Starmer signed with the Kiev cocaine clown last week. It is one of the most cynical acts that the British ruling class have engaged in and I'll explain why at 22:30 tonight.
