It took barely a year for Polanskiism to openly display its fatal incompetence, and it has already scrambled to sacrifice its most vulnerable allies and supporters on the altar of “electability.” If they’re doing this now, who knows who they’ll sacrifice to get into power. No different to Labour.

‼️Statement RE my suspension from the Greens. I was suspended for the 'crime' of being a trans woman who ran for a women's place. The "media interest" in my gender was cited as the sole reason for my suspension.

feels pertinent to remind everyone that every exception and violation of early release is a route for the abuse of the criminal justice system and the removal of human rights within it. especially under a hostile government like, say, reform. we shouldn’t be welcoming this.

also worth noting that this attack, no matter what else you want to say about it, was not “irrational” or “crazy”. it was very considered. the islamic republic has been destabilising for the past few years, especially as Khameini reached an older age. Anyone could see a revolution was possible.

the attacks by Israel and the US were considered precisely with this in mind, and seem to have pre-empted the regime fall in order to influence it in their favoured direction. the IR falling doesn’t mean any one system is destined to replace it. and western stooge pahlavi is their obvious choice.

a western, liberal capitalist iran that accepts israel is their ideal. and honestly, though the IR remaining standing isn’t preferable for them, they can work with it. a truly secular, revolutionary, popular, democratic, communist republic in Iran is the real existential threat to them both.

oh and btw. drag every anti-trump republican, every centrist in washington, every democratic party stooge, every liberal capitalist, every anti-bibi zionist, every ”reformist”, everyone who wields power with zero intent of dismantling it. drag them all to the firing squad along with trump and bibi.

the world is so incredibly fucked precisely because there are so many people in power who are weak, vacillating, and deeply deeply compromised by their own class interests. they will never fight capitalist decay because they will not suffer from it. abandon them.

the new gaza “peace“ plan is just insulting. that’s all you need to know. it’s a blatant insult to human and national dignity, and they’ll still present it as an act of generosity that the palestinians would be rude and unreasonable for rejecting. but then, what else is new with zionism :/

so…now that Your Party has self destructed in front of everyone, and the Greens are far too established to create any kind of revolutionary niche in their framework…anyone wanna set up a new uk far left group?

leftists need to divorce themselves from anyone and anything pro-gun control. as i said previously, to support gun control requires an indifferent, or even positive, view of the state, which is purely and DEEPLY incompatible with any leftist, even post-leftist theory.

this is NOT to say gun violence isn’t concerning. but then, “gun violence” is just a discursive tool to disguise the actual forms of violence. by grouping them all under one label instead of actually reckoning with their causes it placates the moderate’s mindset

labelling everything as “gun” violence allows people to ignore the horrors wrought by the war on drugs, the maintenance of poverty under capitalism, the exacerbation of reactionary ideology and the mental health crisis, all of which are the leading actual causes of “gun” violence.

not being funny but charlie kirk got back the exact same as he gave out to the world. incited violence and was unapologetic to the end. everyone clamouring to condemn the shooting is just cowardly attempting to cling to a political status quo that doesn’t exist.

by the way every time i get scammed by some small scale market seller or bullshit tour guide i remind myself that no amount of “small business owner” or “anti-colonial market economics” will ever change the fact that the market is inherently destructive to our condition

btw the news that the justice dept is wanting to ban trans people from owning a gun of course proves that right wingers have never actually cared about the principle of gun rights, just their own perverted egoism. but we shouldn’t react to this saying “well why don’t we expand this to everyone”

the whole point is that shit like this just proves leftist 2A supporters have been right the whole time. we already saw this in the 1960s brady bill, designed to stop black panthers from open carrying (the whole point of which was to hold the police to account and stop them abusing their powers!)

there has never been a benign form of gun control. all gun laws exist to turn the state’s arms supremacy into a monopoly, entrenching itself as permanently as it can. if you view the state as a neutral or even positive force, i can’t convince you this is bad. but don’t call yourself a leftist if so.

why is my feed always full of the most dogshit liberal takes by those who think they can save the world by stopping orange man and lack any level of critical thinking or self reflection to the extent that they can’t begin to imagine the USA’s creeping into fascism might be partially their own fault

like maybe at some point you can recognise your dumb fucking nation was never equal or free in the first place and your chronic aversion to genuine revolutionary change makes you just as complicit? your SNL-liberal, reddit atheist takes won’t even save your HOA from tyranny, let alone the USA
