“Still more difficult and peculiar are the conditions under which the trade unions are developing in the West.
Firstly, they are narrow owing to their ‘tried’ craft union practice and are hostile to socialism, for having arisen before the Socialist Parties, and having developed without the aid of the latter, they are accustomed to plume themselves in their ‘independence’, they place craft interests above class interests and refuse to recognise anything beyond a ‘penny a day’ increase in wages.
Secondly, they are conservative in spirit and hostile to all revolutionary undertakings, for they are led by the old, venal trade union bureaucracy, which is fed by the bourgeoisie and is always ready to place the trade unions at the service of imperialism.
Lastly, these trade unions, united around the Amsterdam reformists [the reconstituted Second International], constitute that vast army of reformism which serves as a prop for the present day capitalist system”

The foul and contemptible TUC must be razed to the ground. Destroyed. Wiped from the face of the earth. It and all the wretched and foul trade unions within it. To hell with them all.

I spotted this graffiti today. It was written on the walls of Walton fly over subway. A subway that is regularly used by school kids on the way home. It is constantly defaced and you will often see gangs of teens hanging around.
The back story is to point out who is writing this and why it's so sinister. As we all know this trans mania has been taken up as modern teens rebellion. Another generation of children being pushed into some false sexual liberation that parades mental health issues as a badge of honour.
Not only that there's a smaller bit of writing that's just as insidious.
"Porn is healthy"
The exploitation of this over sexualisation has made people believe that pornography or prostitution (relabelled as sex work) as something to aspire too. As some sort of freedom for the modern generation.
"Sex Work" is not a course for liberation. This is the ultimate exploitation of capitalism where mostly female workers are commodified and objectified. The customers of this services have the mind warped by intense sexualisation that isn't the norm.
The porn industry is further degradation and subjugation.

Thousands of workers demonstrated in front of the parliament building in Athens against a bill that would increase maximum working hours to 13 hours a day and 78 hours a week, as well as limiting the right to strike, with a penalty of 6 months in prison and a fine of 5,000 euros if blocking activities in the workplace.

When the house magazine of British imperialism says it’s time for a rethink on Ukraine with "less than 0.25% of territory liberated" by the disastrous counteroffensive, it’s not merely hyperbole, but a reflection of the conversations being had in the corridors of power.
