SpaceX's valuation bears no relationship to any actual process of production. It lost $4.9 billion in 2025, on $18.7 billion of revenue. It is valued at roughly 95 times its annual revenue - Musk, the first trillionaire: The social physiognomy of oligarchy

This week’s pogroms are the latest in an escalation of far-right attacks across Britain and #Ireland. They are the long-cultivated product of the demonisation of immigrants and asylum seekers. Successive Conservative and Labour governments sought to show themselves firmer on policing borders and to deflect working-class anger from the social catastrophe they are inflicting. #Belfast https://t.co/U9EXJczdFl

The banks and major corporations, and with them the immense productive forces the working class has created, must be expropriated, taken into public ownership

Whatever the immediate outcome, the war is rooted in the determination of US imperialism to control the Middle East, a campaign bound up with its conflict with China and global escalation - After week of escalation, Trump threatens ground invasion of Iran

The conclusion is inescapable: Bogdan is being persecuted not for any crime, but because of his political convictions. His trial is a political show trial.

"The poll results are
(1) a marker of a historic crisis of the capitalist two-party system, and
(2) reflect a push by the ruling elite to shift official politics even further to the right, in line with an agenda of war & austerity, and are being invoked to further that campaign."
"The Red Army’s victory over Nazi Germany,
the struggle of millions of Soviet Union workers who gave their lives to defend the achievements of the October Revolution,
is being erased from the collective memory.
For it is this memory that stands in the way of the new war policy."
The Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore was another demonstration of Australia’s central role as a regional attack dog for American imperialism on its war path with China.
The wealth of Elon Musk and the oligarchs must be seized and made common property. Their stranglehold over society must be broken, and that can come only through a mass movement of the working class - Elon Musk to become the world’s first trillionaire

"Lesson of Latin American history: subordination of the working class to bourgeois nationalism creates only the conditions for defeats.
The struggle for socialism requires complete political independence of the working class & construction of a revolutionary Marxist leadership."
The radicalism of the youth of the 1960 was not "drug inspired." It was a response to Vietnam, the struggle for civil rights, and, even more fundamentally, the fresh and not-forgotten horrors of the two World Wars. The 1917 October Revolution had not disappeared from memory, capitalism and anti-communism were in bad odor, Stalinism was increasingly discredited, and there was a revival of interest in Trotsky, whose extraordinary books were recognized as political and literary masterworks. This resurgence was suppressed by the reactionary political climate of the Reagan-Thatcher years to which Mr. Luce was exposed, to his own misfortune, during his intellectually formative years.
But Mr. Luce correctly detects a process of radicalization among the world's youth. The question is, at what point will this radicalization break beyond the bounds of the media-vetted pseudo-leftism of people like Sanders and Mamdani and reestablish contact with the the genuine Marxian-socialist political perspective and culture that was exemplified in the October Revolution and figures like Lenin, Trotsky and Luxemburg. This break must and will occur, and the rediscovery of Trotsky's extraordinary political legacy and writings will be a critical element of the reemergence of Marxism as a mass socialist movement based on the working class.
The World Socialist Web Site has posted today a preface I have written to a new edition of Trotsky's autobiography, My Life. It can be accessed at https://t.co/79dx4RaCkC
My latest: "The celebration of the fascist war criminal Melnyk by the Ukrainian oligarchy is part of the systematic rehabilitation of fascism worldwide, as the ruling class prepares for even greater crimes as part of its descent into a new world war."

The information that has dripped out over the past six months has indicated far more intensive and longstanding contact between the intelligence agency and the terrorists than first admitted.

The unions’ endorsement of Labor’s budget is a clear statement that they stand ready to enforce the brutal cuts to social spending, jobs and wages demanded by the federal government and the corporate elite it represents.
