Freedom of the press and assembly under bourgeois democracy is freedom for the wealthy to conspire against the working people, freedom for the capitalists to bribe and buy up the press.

V. I. Lenin,
Letter to the British Workers.

In this video Harpal Brar is joined by a comrade from the Italian Partito Comunista (PC), for an interview on the Russian Revolution, including its causes, its importance and what effects it has had on the world since 1917.

I genuinely believe Israel knows it cannot defeat Iran in open warfare. Its strategy seems to be to provoke Iran into a strong retaliation, baiting them so that the United States will be dragged into support their attack dogs.

But what Israel fails to grasp is the level of internal and external crisis the US is facing. Washington is no longer the unchallenged global bully it once was. It’s neck-deep in failing proxy wars, already failing against Russia in Ukraine, seeking to get out of it, and preparing to do the same with China over Taiwan which will yield the same results.

Israel, as a colonial settler project, is driven by a kind of suicidal expansionism. It cannot stop, because the moment it does, it begins to unravel. Its existence depends on endless aggression and growth, not on rational calculation.

But this time, it has overreached. If Israel drags the US into another war it cannot win, the consequences will be catastrophic, not just for the region, but for Israel itself.

DPRK Blasts U.S. Travel Ban Hypocrisy

The U.S. shows its true racist nature by banning 19 nations under false "security" claims. While excluding DPRK this time, Washington:

☠️ Maintains 2017 DPRK travel ban
☠️ Keeps "uncooperative state" label
☠️ Bars Americans from visiting DPRK

We reject any suggestion this exclusion is a "carrot" - our citizens have ZERO interest in visiting:

✅ A violent, racist society
✅ With crumbling infrastructure
✅ Where police kill daily

The DPRK will continue restricting U.S. entry to protect against:

🔴 CIA infiltration
🔴 Cultural imperialism
🔴 Hostile propaganda

We stand with Iranian revolutionaries and patriots in the defence of their nation against imperialist aggression.

Unable to admit that they have been roundly defeated, the demented warmongers in the collective west are still looking for a way to ‘pause’ or ‘freeze’ the war.

In this way they hope either to continue harassing Russia’s southeastern border, or to relaunch the war at a future date, or both.

I believe I reacted too soon with this statement. After seeing the reaction from Trump and Starmer I'd say Israel did not act alone on this. The hands of the imperialist powers were definitely on the trigger here.
