Liverpool once had 300,000 council houses, but they were sold off under Thatcher's push to end social housing. Now, several inadequate housing associations, often run for profit, dominate the market. These associations force workers to bid against each other in online auctions, with points allocated based on the severity of their circumstances. The worse off you are, the more points you receive in this poverty credit system.
Today, Liverpool is filled with private housing at exorbitant prices, and slum landlords are turning the city back 100 years. Houses are falling apart, and single rooms are overcrowded with multiple occupants.
This is not just a crisis; it's a crime against the local people that neither the government nor the local council can or will solve.

This brilliant speech of Stalin’s should be read by all communists and anti-imperialists, or even just those with a passing interest in history!
All the myths that have been pushed so hard in bourgeois historiography for the last 100 years about Trotsky’s leading role in the October Revolution, his closeness to Lenin and Leninism, and his military genius originated not from general acclaim but from Trotsky himself.
Meanwhile, his ‘ideas’, such as they are, have long ago been shown to be anti-proletarian and counter-revolutionary in the extreme, albeit dressed up in the language of the ‘ultra-left’ and ‘ultra-revolutionary’.
Today, Trotskyism is entirely an instrument of the bourgeoisie in our movement, its organisations backed directly and indirectly in myriad ways by the imperialist state machineries.

Most countries, Russia included, could be doing more to restore their historical heritage even on a small scale. It’s especially infuriating when such buildings are removed to build e.g. shopping areas. I remember witnessing this many times in different cities in Canada.
This is why seeing the restoration / reconstruction of this traditional Russian wood-carved house (est. 1890s) that once belonged to merchant Smirnov in Nizhny Novgorod is a joy to see! The half-collapsed “before” photo is from 2017.

This is a fantastic look at the underhanded dealings of Leon Trotsky and the insipid nature of Trotskyism.
Hearing more about the man and his views is really illuminating to the actual Trotsky movement in western countries.
