The Anglo-Nazi Global Empire That Almost Was

Many of us have been through the kind of "grass roots" events so beloved of Corbyn and co. What he means by "grass roots" is not a structure that will have any power, it will be the kind of meaningless talking shop of the type so beloved of TUC bureaucrats such as "The Peoples Assembly" and "Enough Is Enough" (remember those). You will be invited to talk endlessly but the policy will be written by a small clique who will then say that they've "listened". It will be as fake as a "consultation with staff" carried out by management. Corbyn is a labour man to the bitter end and that means that he believes in rule by bureaucrat not through the organised power of the working class.

The US has once again increased sanctions on Cuba. They call it “democracy promotion.” In practice it means:

- Cutting remittances from families abroad, a lifeline for millions.

- Blocking Cuban banks from global systems, strangling trade.

- Choking imports of medicine, spare parts, and basic goods.

This isn’t about spreading liberal "democracy". It’s about punishment. A small island that dared to build a workers state with free healthcare, universal education, and independence from US capital is being starved for it.

Ordinary Cubans pay the price, longer queues for food, shortages in hospitals, families cut off from relatives’ support. While Washington hopes scarcity will breed discontent in the hope the workers turn against the revolution.

Yet Cuba endures! Literacy is near 100%, doctors sent abroad in solidarity (sent back in some cases because the west fears the spread of support for communism) healthcare still free at the point of use — all under blockade.

Standing with Cuba isn’t nostalgia. It isn't some silly lefty virtual signaling. It's workers struggles that we should always support!

The Class Consciousness Project.

Most people don’t realise this, and no liberal school or capitalist media will tell you, but paid maternity leave was first introduced not in the “progressive” West, but in the Soviet Union. As early as 1917, after the October Revolution, women workers were guaranteed time off before and after giving birth, with full job protection and benefits. This was only possible because of the advances of a planned economy which puts the needs of workers before profit.

Compare that to Britain at the time. Here, women were still fighting for the vote, chained to poverty wages, and forced to leave work altogether when pregnant. Maternity leave in Britain didn’t even exist until the 1970s, and even then it was far weaker.

When people sneer at socialism, remind them that it was the USSR that treated working-class women as human beings first, long before capitalism was forced to make concessions to British workers.

The Class Consciousness Project.

These people will lead us precisely nowhere. It now must be said that treacherous and dull witted socdems are truly a dangerous breed because they inspire false hope and have no understanding of the forces that they're up against or they do and they're just on the grift.

Ticket prices in the old English National League were affordable for working-class fans. That changed with the birth of the Premier League and the explosion of TV money.

The global appeal brought in billions through broadcasting and marketing, but as always the profits never filtered down to the people who built the game. Instead of improving conditions for working-class supporters, the money only served owners and investors. Ordinary fans were priced out of regular attendance, while clubs shifted towards catering for a more tourist-style crowd.

Stretford End, Old Trafford back in the day.

We are live tonight! Join us for a discussion about the latest disasters coming out of the Corbyn project "your party".
