Hearing this lady speak of how well educated in revolution and theory they were in the Soviet Union is truly inspiring.
This is what we should all aspire to!
Our western society is dumbed down by poor education, TV and popular culture. We need to force our own education and raise with our class ✊

Quds commander General Qasem Soleimani and Kata'ib Hezbollah leader Abu Mahdi al-Mohandis who were executed in a U.S. drone strike in January 2020 in collusion with Israeli intelligence and possibly Britain, along with privateers G4S.
The executions led to widespread outrage across the Middle East and seriously undermined the fight against Isis. And Washington simply ignored the sovereignty of Iraq after parliament voted unanimously for all US troops to leave the country.
To date nobody has been held accountable for the killings.

"Some men, faint-hearted, ever seek
Our programme to retouch,
And will insist, whene’er they speak
That we demand too much.
’Tis passing strange, yet I declare
Such statements give me mirth,
For our demands most moderate are,
We only want the earth.
“Be moderate,” the trimmers cry,
Who dread the tyrants’ thunder.
“ You ask too much and people fly
From you aghast in wonder.”
’Tis passing strange, for I declare
Such statements give me mirth,
For our demands most moderate are,
We only want the earth.
Our masters all a godly crew,
Whose hearts throb for the poor,
Their sympathies assure us, too,
If our demands were fewer.
Most generous souls! But please observe,
What they enjoy from birth
Is all we ever had the nerve
To ask, that is, the earth.
The “labour fakir” full of guile,
Base doctrine ever preaches,
And whilst he bleeds the rank and file
Tame moderation teaches.
Yet, in despite, we’ll see the day
When, with sword in its girth,
Labour shall march in war array
To realize its own, the earth.
For labour long, with sighs and tears,
To its oppressors knelt.
But never yet, to aught save fears,
Did the heart of tyrant melt.
We need not kneel, our cause is high
Of true men there's no dearth
And our victorious rallying cry
Shall be we want the earth!"
James Connolly (1907)

#PeoplesHistory | On April 5, 2010 #JulianAssange’sWikileaks published the “Collateral Murder” video, which showed the gunning down of civilians, children and two Reuters journalists, uncovering war crimes in Iraq. For revealing these, and other imperialist war crimes, #Assange faces up to 175 years in prison if extradited to the #US.

Never forget what the US did when the now beloved ICC wanted to investigate US war crimes in Afghanistan. The US has threatened
📌 Impose sanctions on the ICC.
📌Impose sanctions on countries assisting the ICC.
📌 Arrest judges and prosecutors of the ICC!
The US has also passed laws giving them the right to invade the International Criminal Court in The Hague, the Netherlands if any American is arrested or detained there!

Understanding the bourgeois political ideals of 'Trans' is vital as it has dragged so many could be socialists down.

Call Of Duty is on the most appalling military propaganda tools in use.
This game as even gone so far as using character that is obviously modeled on General Qasem Soleimani. Manufacturing consent for an assignation,
They are desensitising our children to killing and breeding an acceptance of American exceptioalism.

The Labour government of 1945-1951 repeatedly used the army to break strikes here are just three examples.
1945 - Just after taking office it used the army to break a ten week long London Dock strike
Winter 1945 - It used 20,000 troops as scab labour to break another strike on the London Docks
1951 - Used a wartime law prohibiting strikes to subject seven trade unionists to criminal prosecution.
All done under the watch of "the most radical government Britain ever had".

On this day a year ago, Paul Mason and his fellow British imperialist agents in the trade union movement (including ASLEF, GMB, CWU and TSSA) and others held a rally in London to stand ‘in solidarity’ in Ukraine.
These agents of British and US imperialism would have you believe (and I’m convinced that they hold this belief themselves) that the conflict in Ukraine began in February 2022, when in fact its roots go back as far as 2014 and the US-backed Maidan ‘revolution’, if not further.
It was during this ‘revolution’ in 2014 that fifty people were burned to death in a Trades Union House in Odessa, a fact that the British trade union movement has chosen to ignore.
At this demonstration on 9th April 2022, demonstrators bearing the banners of these imperialist-supporting trade unions chanted: “Put an end to Putin’s reign, arm, arm, arm Ukraine”, a clear call to escalate the brutal armed conflict in the region.
Meanwhile, arch-imperialist and ruling class collaborationist Paul Mason declared his determination to see Russian President Vladimir Putin “hanging from a meat hook” (in a clear reference to the execution of Benito Mussolini in 1945). Peter Tatchell, at the same demonstration, compared Russia to Nazi Germany and supported regime change in the Russian state.
This demonstration brought deep shame and disgrace on ALL those trade unions and other affiliated parties who adorned their name to it.
