The NZ media may ignore us but the Marxist journals are curious.

"The Labour Party today functions as a stabilizer of the New Zealand state.... This is the historical role of social democracy in the imperialist core: a safety valve that converts working class anger into safe electoral expression..."

Hi my name is Leftist Poster. I am quote tweeting a clipfarmed contextless comment from the foremost communist thinker on disability in the United States to shit-talk her so that I can help the right-wing troll running a hate account make his blue check money. This is praxis

"The hobbits are not the poor and the oppressed of the world", but theirs is "a world imagined as an act of taking sides against fascism — and it deserves to be recognised as such."

ICYMI: Jin Haritaworn's critique of the racist response to the assault on Berlin Pride is still live on our website.

[Spectre Journal @JournalSpectre]

"On Pride Sunday, I woke up to messages... The first was by my straight neighbor: 'Just checking in as we heard the news about Berlin.' Half asleep, I google 'Berlin.' Top results: Attack on Pride with a van, one dead, many injured."
