“Whoever does not recognise and champion the equality of nations and languages, and does not fight against all national oppression or inequality, is not a Marxist; he is not even a democrat. That is beyond doubt. But it is also beyond doubt that the pseudo-Marxist who heaps abuse
“Fascism delivers up the people to be devoured by the most corrupt and venal elements, but comes before them with the demand for ‘an honest and incorruptible government.’ Speculating on the profound disillusionment of the masses in bourgeois-democratic governments…

McConnell’s “judicial revolution” during the Trump years led, among other things, to the appointment of 1 in 4 circuit court judges. Now 3 judges in the 8th Circuit COE (2 Trump appointees & a Bush II appointee) are halting Biden’s student loan program indefinitely.
Whatever her sentiments on Palestine are compared to Biden’s, or her “balancing act” between Dems and the GOP, Harris represents US imperialism at the end of the day.
A thought after studying Peter Camejo's "Liberalism, Ultraleftism or Mass Action" (1970): not a great speech for its era, not a classic, and not too relevant for assessing the Gaza Solidarity Encampments.

Every day more students and youth join the solidarity movement for #Palestine, whether or not they have a personal connection to the land, in the spirit of internationalism and progress. This process had been taking place even before the escalating events of October 7. #Gaza
The second in Engels's series of articles (August 9-September 7, 1848) on the debate on the Posen question in the Frankfurt National Assembly (July 24-27) continues his treatment of Gustav Stenzel's report.
A number of threads recently have been commentaries on Gonzaloism: however, as this shows, it'd be a mistake to think that all of the problems identified there are a matter of a single tendency alone.
This is a good example of the (very accessible, very simply written) fakery that passes for concrete "analysis" in the circle literature of our circumstances:
