In May I was invited to the Oxford Union to debate whether youth activism is "performative." But let’s be honest about what’s actually performative: sitting in wood-paneled rooms, debating , and sneering at a generation of young people who are trying to make change/
The reality? Gen Z isn’t driven to activism by TikTok or influencers. They are driven by the material reality of a capitalist system that has only ever offered them austerity, pandemics, climate chaos, and war. Revolutions don’t drop from the sky. They are the accumulation of a thousand different types of activism from climate strikes and BLM to the university encampments for Palestine. It is a molecular process. Young people are at the forefront because they have the most to lose, and they refuse to be burdened by the cynicism of the past.
While the establishment sneers, a revolutionary wave is building. The question isn't whether youth activism is "performative" the question is how we organise that gut instinct to change the world into a real, material force that can actually overthrow the system at the root of the crisis.
As Lenin once said: give us one generation of youth, and we will transform the world.
We are not outnumbered. We are just out organised. Time to build.
Strait of Hormuz, was open to navigation. US-Israel attacked Iran, so Iran blocked it to countries attacking it. At negotiations in Islamabad, US demanded that it should be immediately reopened. As Iran didn't capitulate to US bullying... Trump will now BLOCK Strait of Hormuz🙄
This motherfucker is the same that destroyed the education system, higher the pensions age and cancelled workers' statute in Italy. This is what a loyal representative of the ruling class is, and it was said by some desperate leftists to vote for him to not let Berlusconi win.
"We have to call this attack by its name, and the name is a war crime," former Italian PM @matteorenzi tells @SkyYaldaHakim.
A missile that struck a Kyiv children's hospital was launched by Russia, Sky News analysis finds.

Good stuff from @SheffMarxSoc . I never expect everyone to just agree with us, that's fine. But there's a genocide happening. Serious ideas and strategy need to be discussed. You can't just ban people you disagree with, like a few Sheffield students have tried to do
