How could it happen, it may be asked, that the powerful British proletariat, which fought with unexampled heroism, proved to have leaders who were either venal or cowardly, or simply spineless? That is a very important question. Such leaders did not spring up all at once. They grew out of the labour movement; they received a definite schooling as labour leaders in Britain, the schooling of that period when British capital was raking in super-profits and could shower favours on the labour leaders and use them for compromises with the British working class; whereby these leaders of the working class, becoming ever more closely identified with the bourgeoisie in their manner of life and station, became divorced from the mass of the workers, turned their backs on them and ceased to understand them. They are the kind of working-class leaders who are dazzled by the glamour of capitalism, who are overwhelmed by the might of capital, and who dreary of “getting on in the world” and associating with “men of substance.” There is no doubt that these leaders—if I may call them that—are an echo of the past and do not suit the new situation. There is no doubt that in time they will be compelled to give way to new leaders who do correspond to the militant spirit and heroism of the British proletariat. Engels was right when he called such leaders bourgeoisified leaders of the working class.

As Mick Lynch continues to flush his reputation down the toilet by calling for us all to vote for genocide apologists, a reminder that we wrote this article in October last year on what a crushing disappointment Lynch was, is and always will be. https://classconsciousnessproject.blog/2023/10/13/the-controlled-opposition-of-mick-lynch/

🇪🇺EU launches operation against Yemeni Houthis - BILD

The European Union has made a decision to start a military operation in Yemen to ensure security in the Red Sea. Germany has already sent its frigate "Hessen," on board of which there are about 250 Bundeswehr soldiers.

The reason for the operation was the attacks by the Yemeni Houthis on merchant ships. Although they claimed they would only attack ships flying the flag of Israel, the attacks also affected Russian tankers.

🇨🇳 China's first homegrown airliner makes international debut in Singapore

China's challenger to Airbus and Boeing's passenger jets, the narrow-body C919 manufactured by the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (COMAC), has made its first trip outside Chinese territory.

China has indicated a push this year to advance the C919 and COMAC's footprint domestically and internationally. The plane is only certified within China and the first of now four C919s began flying with China Eastern Airlines last year.

With Airbus and Boeing struggling to ramp up production and meet demand for new planes, and Boeing struggling with a string of crises, the aviation industry is watching how COMAC positions itself as a viable alternative.
