A Workers Revolt
7 Years On And It’s Clear That Workers Made Brexit Happen Britain has now witnessed a seven year long nervous breakdown of the “progressive” middle class over the issue of Brexit. Ever since …
If the opinion polls were anything to go by (and they aren’t), then Labour’s anaemic reformism without reforms isn’t resonating with voters in quite the way that the bourgeois media would like us to believe.

Stop the War’s capitulation hides truth about Ukraine, stops workers organising
It is time we in Britain got off our knees and organised a mass movement of real opposition to the imperialist war drive.

Via BBC, A street in Essex has been officially inaugurated as the United Kingdom's first road named after President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky. Previously known as Fifth Avenue, the street in Harlow has now been renamed as Fifth Avenue - Zelensky Avenue.
It's a noteworthy recognition for the President, as even Fifth Columns are now getting streets named after them!

The Class Consciousness Project supports without equivocation all workers in struggle. We know that, in the majority of cases and until a full working class consciousness can be developed, these struggles will be organised through trade unions.
But, as we have seen with the capitulation of the CWU in its disputes with Royal Mail and BT, as well as the NEU recommending a below inflation and unfunded pay offer for teachers, trade union bureaucracies cannot effectively lead workers unless workers effectively lead them.
We understand why people would see these failures and come to the conclusion that the whole movement is defeated, broken and irreparable. But trade unions are the biggest organisers of working class people and can be the militant expression of working class power they should be.
To do this, the chasm between the rank and file membership and the well-paid bureaucrats of trade unions has to be bridged. Rank and file members with the knowledge, skills, motivation and class consciousness must pose a viable and permanent threat to bureaucrats.
Our task is to build that knowledge, the skills, the class consciousness and the motivation in our class comrades needed to prevent the failures and defeats which befall the trade union movement far too often.
To quote a statement from @PostiesSayNo in response to the capitulation of the CWU:
“Staying in [the CWU] also means ensuring that the experience of the last year is never repeated. That means building at the grassroots, holding members meetings, electing reps, and building workplace committees, holding branches to account. It means coming together to build a rank-and-file alternative that can give a new direction to our union and ultimately a new, fighting leadership.”
We absolutely agree.
We have to start today.

In compliance with EU regulations, the Dutch government plans to obtain and close down approximately 3,000 farms located near environmentally sensitive regions. The objective is to decrease nitrogen pollution, and if an inadequate number of farms choose voluntary buyouts, the government will require compulsory purchases.
Farmers across the EU have strongly opposed these measures through numerous protests, including blockading motorways and disrupting events. However, despite these demonstrations, the government’s determination to carry out the closures remains unchanged.
Americans should closely monitor the protests and civil unrest happening in Europe due to the implementation of “green” policies. If the institutions enforcing these restrictions fail to offer a viable pathway for a smooth transition to better technology, the working class should remain skeptical.
