BREAKING: The fascist Ruto regime is violently abducting people carrying the Kenyan flag on the streets of Nairobi.

Carrying the national flag is not a crime. Demanding justice is not a crime. Peaceful protest is not a crime.

"We can't tell the world what you are doing here… for reasons that are obvious to you... but there’s no higher service to Britain than GENOCIDE: so thank you. And as you serve the occupation of Bethlehem and the holy land, as you help and wipe out the Christian and Muslim Palestinian population… I do hope you have some time over Christmas to enjoy, rest and reflect upon your… service”

While Prime Minister, Keir Starmer thanked British soldiers at RAF Akrotiri. They were, of course, aiding Israel's genocide in Gaza. [10 Dec 2024]

This is a British LABOUR @UKLabour Imperialist Genocide. There will be a price to pay.

@CPGBML
Not only neo-colonialist, but also part of the bourgeoise infrastructure designed to keep Africa destabilised so they can never have unity and sovereignty. What will follow is the expulsion of Imperialism from Africa and the West can't tolerate that.
Well done 🇳🇪

[Class Consciousness Project @Class_C_Project]

Keir Starmer's resignation comes as no surprise. He was brought in to a job and that job made him very unpopular.

After Jeremy Corbyn attempted to introduce even the mildest trace of social democracy into the Labour Party, the British ruling class required a complete restructuring of Labour to restore it to its traditional role within British imperialism.

Starmer was brought in to do that. A man seemingly devoid of charisma, whose political appeal rarely extended beyond managerial competence, which suited the ruling class as his purpose was never to inspire. His task was to purge Labour of any remnants of Corbynism, make it safe for big business once again, and prepare it to act as a reliable replacement when the Conservatives inevitably exhausted their popularity.

That has always been Labour's function under capitalism. When the Tories become too discredited to govern effectively, Labour steps in to stabilise the system, absorb popular anger, and continue broadly the same economic and foreign policies under a different banner.

Starmer's success in carrying out that mission has made him deeply unpopular. He leaves behind a Labour Party more obedient to the demands of finance capital, but with little enthusiasm among its own supporters.

Now, with the job done, he appears set to step aside. If the speculation is correct, Andy Burnham looks like he's being primed for the role. As our last article mentioned, Burnham will be there to give Labour a working class veneer, whilst still serving imperialism.

[Communist Party Marxist CPM - Kenya @CommunistsKe]

The resignation of Keir Starmer should not be understood primarily as the failure of one individual. It reflects deeper contradictions within British capitalism and the British state.

***BREAKING***

British Medical Association, the UK doctor’s union, PASSES MOTION AGAINST THE use of the IHRA definition of antisemitism to chill free speech overwhelmingly.

Motion by CONSULTANTS CONFERENCE: That this meeting expresses grave concern about the adoption of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism in the NHS without proper consultation or risk assessment, and calls upon the BMA to:-

i) immediately investigate the impact of IHRA definition adoption on NHS staff, particularly regarding the chilling effect on legitimate political speech and professional expression of ethical concerns about Israel's actions in Palestine;

ii) demand that NHS England and all NHS organisations conduct comprehensive risk assessments before implementing any speech-related policies, ensuring compliance with Article 10 ECHR (freedom of expression) and Section 6 Human Rights Act 1998 (public authorities must act compatibly with Convention rights);

iii) provide urgent guidance and support to members who face disciplinary action or professional detriment for expressing legitimate political views or ethical concerns about international conflicts, including Palestine/Israel;

iv) lobby the government and NHS England to revoke the mandatory adoption of the IHRA definition across the NHS until proper safeguards, consultation processes, and clarity on implementation are established;

v) advocate for the protection of free speech in healthcare settings, ensuring that NHS staff can engage in legitimate political discourse and express ethical concerns without fear of professional reprisal;

vi) work with other healthcare unions and professional bodies to challenge any attempts to use the IHRA definition to suppress legitimate debate about human rights violations, war crimes, or colonial practices in international conflicts.

85 years ago, on June 22, 1941, at exactly 4:15 AM Moscow time, more than 3 million German soldiers opened artillery fire and began pouring into the Soviet Union. Operation Barbarossa, the greatest invasion in human history, had officially begun. https://t.co/VCjPhjAq9i

Almost four years later, at the cost of 27 million Soviet lives, Hitler, Goebbels, Himmler, and the rest of the German scum would be dead, and the flag of workers and peasants would fly high over the Reichstag in central Berlin.

These were the real victories of the Red army, of the peoples of the Soviet Union, of Soviet collectivisation and industry, of the five year plans to industrialise and modernise the Soviet Union, of the earth shattering advances won by communism in the fields of science, technology, culture and economics, of the liberation of women and youth, of the liberation and deliverance of the Nations of Russia from Tsarist oppression, capitalist exploitation and nationalist supremacism.

This was the worlds single greatest achievement: the victory of socialism over imperialism. The victory of communism under the leadership of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and Marshall Stalin. Such a history is the harbinger of humanity’s future and can never be erased.

This is the Soviet victory over fascism!

Well done Iran for that result against Belgium. The way the US is policing this world cup is a disgrace. How they've treated the Iran team most of all.

That being said they are rising to the occasion! Alireza Beiranvand gave a world class performance today in Iran's net.

[The Communists @CPGBML]

For a genuine anti-imperialist anti-war movement, we must disgard the failed “left-labour” (oxymoron 1) “StW leadership” (oxymoron 2) @STWuk @UKLabour @UKLFI

The Labour party, while saving the capitalists from revolution at home by introducing benefits for British
workers, at the same time waged wars across the world to maintain the British empire in its new form.

The invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan, the warmongering against Russia, support for the genocide in Palestine
and wars against Lebanon and Iran are not aberrations in Labour’s history, they are par for the course.

Join the Anti-fascist international!

[The Communists @CPGBML]

Listen to this description of British torture methods in Kenya (👇) and ask yourself: just who was it who instructed the zionists in their bestial methods???

This culture goes very deep in the imperialist countries' ruling class. Paedophilia, sadism, sexual abuse as a weapon ... Boys from the ruling class are inured to all this by their time in the elite public school system.

The truth is that sex has been a weapon of power ever since the birth of class society, which at the same time was the birth of prostitution and sexual slavery. Engels described the division of society into classes as the "world-historic defeat of the female sex".

It is socialism, not abstract calls for a purer morality, that will purge society of these ills and restore women to a dignified place in society.

[Class Consciousness Project @Class_C_Project]

It looks as though Starmer's job is done. With Britain sinking deeper into crisis, the establishment now needs a new face to absorb public anger, restore confidence in the system and halt the collapse in support.

Starmer has achieved something remarkable: he has managed to alienate large sections of both the left and the right. He is now widely disliked across the political spectrum, making him increasingly useless as a political asset for the ruling class.

The next establishment figure will need more charisma, more political credit in the bank and a better ability to sell the illusion of change while preserving the same old system.

Step forward Andy Burnham. A Blairite in different packaging, ready to present himself as the fresh answer to problems created by the very political class he belongs to.

[The Communists @CPGBML]

Who are the social chauvinists? Who are the enemies of the working class today? Who are the “Labour” lieutenants of the British working class movement? Who are the hod-carriers of British imperialism? Who are the real conductors of bourgeois prejudice and influence into the mass of the British working class?

Here is the answer. Those who support our monopoly capitalists drive to war. Those who support fascism and pretend that supporting fascism is “anti-imperialism”! These are the hypocrites that must be exposed and ejected from our ranks:

Paul Nowak, General Secretary, Trades Union Congress

Andrea Egan, General Secretary, UNISON

Sharon Graham, General Secretary, Unite

Gary Smith, General Secretary, GMB

Daniel Kebede, General Secretary, NEU

Joanne Thomas, General Secretary, USDAW

Fran Heathcote, General Secretary, PCS

Jo Grady, General Secretary, UCU

Naomi Pohl, General Secretary, Musicians' Union

Dave Calfe, General Secretary, ASLEF

Chris Kitchen, General Secretary, NUM

Shame and ignominy upon them. Death to imperialism!
