🇨🇳👵🏻🧓🏻 Chinese city to give workers paid leave to care for elderly parents

Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province, has adopted a new policy aimed at improving the lives of older people.

The program is said to be the first of its kind in the country. It covers a range of areas, including elderly care, health insurance, transportation, and labor law. The policy will go into effect on January 1, 2025.

Workers will now be ennoscriptd to five days of paid annual leave to care for elderly parents hospitalised with illness.

Under the policy, residents over 65 will receive free access to attractions and public transport, as well as allocated seats on buses, trains and discounted services at stations. Previously, only residents over 70 enjoyed such preferences.

An aging population is a particularly acute problem in Yangzhou. The city of 4.5 million has an elderly population of 28.6%. That compares with a national average of 21.1%. - EKD #China #policy #aging #welfare

Socialists are not pacifists. Though we yearn for peace, we are prepared for struggle to reshape our reality.
To liberate our class, we must be ready to fight.

"I won't bat an eye."

In 2021, Yahya Ibrahim Hassan Sinwar, a prominent Palestinian militant and leader of Hamas in Gaza, demonstrated his resilience by stating that he would not hesitate or bat an eye if he were to be assassinated by Israel.

What would happen if capital succeeded in smashing the Republic of Soviets? There would set in an era of the blackest reaction in all the capitalist and colonial countries, the working class and the oppressed peoples would be seized by the throat, the positions of international #communism would be lost.

◾The Fascist Offensive and the Tasks of the Communist International in the Struggle of the Working Class against Fascism.

◾Abbreviated trannoscript of:


◾THE CLASS CHARACTER OF FASCISM

◾Comrades, fascism in power was correctly described by the Thirteenth Plenum of the Executive Committee of the Communist International as the open terrorist dictatorship of the most reactionary, most chauvinistic and most imperialist elements of finance capital.
...

◾Fascism is the power of finance capital itself. It is the organization of terrorist vengeance against the working class and the revolutionary section of the peasantry and intelligentsia. In foreign policy, fascism is jingoism in its most brutal form, fomenting bestial hatred of other nations.
...

◾This, the true character of fascism, must be particularly stressed because in a number of countries, under cover of social demagogy, fascism has managed to gain the following of the mass of the petty bourgeoisie that has been dislocated by the crisis, and even of certain sections of the most backward strata of the proletariat. These would never have supported fascism if they had understood its real character and its true nature.
...

◾The development of fascism, and the fascist dictatorship itself, assume different forms in different countries, according to historical, social and economic conditions and to the national peculiarities, and the international position of the given country. In certain countries, principally those in which fascism has no broad mass basis and in which the struggle of the various groups within the camp of the fascist bourgeoisie itself is rather acute, fascism does not immediately venture to abolish parliament, but allows the other bourgeois parties, as well as the Social-Democratic Parties, to retain a modicum of legality.
...

◾This does not prevent fascism, when its position becomes particularly acute, from trying to extend its basis and, without altering its class nature, trying to combine open terrorist dictatorship with a crude sham of parliamentarism.
...

◾Fascism acts in the interests of the extreme imperialists, but it presents itself to the masses in the guise of champion of an ill-treated nation, and appeals to outraged national sentiments, as German fascism did, for instance, when it won the support of the masses of the petty bourgeoisie by the slogan "Down with the Versailles Treaty."
