Latest article from Comrade Harpal Brar on the events in Palestine and their significance:

The logical outcome of Israel’s inculcation of a rabidly racist settler mindset into its people and their relentless pursuit of an ethnically cleansed ‘Greater Israel’ is that the zionist regime is now accelerating ever more rapidly towards the day of its doom.

Argentina’s poverty crisis is worsening, driven by “anarcho-capitalist” President Javier Milei’s extreme privatization reforms. Thousands have taken to the streets nationwide, demanding food assistance amidst a raging inflation crisis, which soared to 254.2% in January, a staggering 50% increase since Milei assumed power.

Argentina’s 38,000 public kitchens for those in need received their last government-funded ration before Milei came to power and slashed the program. Milei campaigned in 2023 by frequently brandishing a chainsaw, pledging to slash the size of the state to unleash more unregulated capitalism.

The percentage of Argentinians plunged into poverty surged from 45% to nearly 60%, prompting concerns that Milei’s capitalist shock therapy would exacerbate the crisis and fuel social unrest across the nation.

“Pressure is working down the pit. Pressure is having no work at all. Pressure is trying to escape relegation on 50 shillings a week. Pressure is not the European Cup or the Championship or the Cup Final. That’s the reward.”
- Bill Shankly.

A Soviet cartoon from the 1970s ennoscriptd "annual family budget" seems rather apt.
