Thank you Celtic. Hail Hail 💚🤍

@AaronBastani Why do you feel the need to straw man the left before making any left wing point? It happens a lot on downstream too.

@RichardJMurphy Your position on the Land Value Tax has been clear and your opposition has been rational and thought through.

But Henry Fudge's proposed LVT, in my view, passes all of your prior misgivings about an LVT. Please take a look!

@AaronBastani Novara should interview those who view the USSR more positively like Gabriel Rockhill or someone similar. The western left is too discounting of past and present socialist achievements. I think it's important to push back against anti-communist dogma

[Sizwe SikaMusi @SizweLo]

Most people “know” that Joseph Stalin was “evil”. But very few know that

- Under Stalin, and the Soviet Union set the world record for the quickest doubling of life expectancy from 32 to 68 in under 30 years, the quickest turnaround in history

- Literacy rates in the Soviet Union rose from a dismal 30% to 98.5%

- Women made up a third of Societ engineers and 79% of medical doctors

- Women in the ruling party went from 5 to 21%, at a time when Black and Native women in the United States were not allowed to vote

- Stalin took the Soviet Union to the second most industrialised nation globally in a decade, something that took Western capitalists centuries of colonial pillaging

- Healthcare, education, and childcare remained universal and were improved upon, hence the drastic increase in life expectancy

- Racist speech was criminalised!

- The Soviet Union defeated Japanese imperialism in both Manchuria and Korea

- Defeated Hitler and the Nazis

- Took a desperately underdeveloped society to a competing world Power with real, tangible outcomes

- Every national liberation movement that followed, Cuba, China, Vietnam, South Africa, all stood on Soviet shoulders

The popular Western political theory of “totalitarianism” which frames Stalin and Hitler as “twin monsters” of the 20th century is an ideological tool meant to hide the dark side of Western liberalism, specifically its history of White supremacy, the genocide of Indigenous peoples, colonialism, and chattel slavery, which actually served as the closest ideological inspirations for Nazism.

Western historians hypocritically isolate Stalin’s actions from the global context of the early 20th century, whereas in reality, the mechanisms of the Soviet state were the same things done by Western liberal democracies at the time.
For instance, France casually killed 10 million Algerians and tested an atomic bomb on their soil.

Westerners harp on about Stalin’s Gulags as if they were the same thing as Nazi extermination camps. In truth, the Gulag was a punitive penal system focused on forced labour and political re-education where redemption was officially possible, rather than a system designed for industrial racial extermination.

Meanwhile, the British in South Africa, the Germans in Namibia and the US with the Japanese population in the US, all used concentration camps when they thought it was necessary. A lot of projection going around.

In the end, Stalin was just a typical European leader. What sets him apart from the rest of the capitalist west, and why he is demonised is because he was attempting to build a socialist state while under total siege by civil war and foreign capitalist encirclement.

You see these scenes from Belfast?

That's our future if Reform, Restore, the Tories, GB News, Elon Musk and the right-wing media get their way.

Except this will be on a much bigger scale.

We have to decide: do we want those inciting hatred to destroy our country?

[Richard Sanders @PulaRJS]

This is barbaric. They were not permitted to explain to the jury why they carried out the attack on the Elbit factory - which makes the weapons that kill Palestinian children. And the jury was never told they would be sentenced as terrorists. /1

[hasanabi @hasanthehun]

i think this was an interesting conversation, kind liberals cont to make optics arguments that center the feelings of ppl w sympathies to the state that has conducted industrial mass slaughter & maintains an apartheid. the purpose of holocaust scholarship is to never let it happen again. its to be used as a comparison to stop it from happening now. that's why i do not shy away from making the comparison as a warning.

So Hearts meet with SFA on Monday and hear audio/get confirmation of game ending.

SFA "agree" not to publish audio (presumably to avoid embarrassing McInnes)

Hearts then release statement lying about events.

SFA forced to embarrass McInnes and Hearts with audio

Lovely 😂🍀

The VAR audio has been released. Hearts and the rest of Scottish football now look like clowns. 😊
