In 1938 Stalin advised burning a biography of him written by a Soviet publishing house because "The theory of heroes was not a Bolshevist theory."
Trotsky on the other hand wrote 700 pages about himself by himself.

“Rosa Luxemburg coined the phrase ‘socialism or barbarism’ in 1916, in the middle of the first world war, as a general statement about humanity’s choices. In the Caribbean in 2026, it is a concrete question on the table.
“Cuba has stood for 67 years as a beacon of hope for the oppressed and exploited around the world. It has been a source of inspiration for generations of activists, a symbol of resistance against imperialism, a model of what a different kind of society can look like.
“The whole world must stand with Cuba now, in its hour of need. We must demand an end to the blockade, an end to sanctions, an end to threats. We must support Cuba’s right to self-determination, to sovereignty, and to development on its own terms.”

1. Women’s spaces are for women. It’s irrelevant how the women look.
2. Men don’t belong in women’s spaces. It’s irrelevant how the men look.
3. Most trans-identified men would give at least one ball to look like Sharron Davies.
Murdered teenager Henry Nowak was "stereotyped" by his attacker as a "drunk, white, working-class lad who is racist" and that makes the case "political", academic Lisa McKenzie says
“Nadie en Europa pudo resistir a la Wehrmacht como lo hizo nuestro pueblo y nuestro estado, la Unión Soviética.”

🚨🇨🇳 REPORT: Xi Jinping said Stalin was good.
"To repudiate Stalin was to wreck chaos in Soviet ideology and engage in historical nihilism. It caused Party organizations at all levels to have barely any function whatsoever."
"It robbed the Party of its leadership of the military. In the end the CPSU — as great a Party as it was — scattered like a flock of frightened beasts! The Soviet Union — as great a socialist state as it was — shattered into pieces."
"This is a lesson from the past!"

Tehran, where the United States and Israel continue their illegal war of aggression, this time hitting the major oil refineries near the city and turning the sky black with smoke and pushing the citizens into a situation of fear and despair (a third of all the dead in the bombing so far have been children).
This is the Gaza Syndrome for Tehran.
Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has been assassinated. That has been achieved by the Israeli-US war of aggression against Iran.
But can this war be won. Not at all. Do read: https://t.co/YEK4j5OHDr
Fantastic organised pro-Trump, pro-war
pile-on now in progress. Purpose? To silence dissent and frighten dissenters.But conducted by kids in attics and basements, busy converting sugary drinks into human lard.
Lenin wrote in 1915: “If tomorrow, Morocco were to declare war on France, India on England, Persia or China on [World War I era, pre-revolutionary] Russia, and so forth, those would be just, defensive wars, irrespective of who attacked first; and every socialist would sympathize with the victory of the oppressed, dependent, unequal states against the oppressing, slave-owning, predatory ‘Great’ Powers.”
In this instance, of course, Iran did not attack first. But that only strengthens the point that today, every socialist, every anti-colonialist, every opponent of genocide, every supporter of the most basic principles of sovereignty and equality, must stand firmly with Iran, waging a defensive war against the oppressing, slave-owning, predatory United States and Israel.

"The US is a war addict. Throughout its over 240-year history, it has been at war for all but 16 years.
The US has 800 overseas military bases in over 80 countries and regions.
The US is the main cause of international disorder, global turbulence, and regional instability."
POLITICAL COMMITTEE STATEMENT
Communist Party condemns imperialist attack on Iran
The military attack on Iran initiated by Israel and coordinated by the Trump administration unleashes a new round in the series of ‘forever wars’ inflicted on the Middle East/West Asia region by US imperialism without a single year of respite since the 2001 war on Afghanistan.
Trump has proved once again with his latest bellicose statements that he represents the same corporate war interests as his predecessors the Bushes, Obama and Biden. US imperialism and its colonial outpost in Israel is the greatest threat to world peace in the world today.
So far, the UK government has not officially taken part in the latest US military adventure. The Communist Party calls for British ministers to make clear that this is a conflict precipitated by Israel and prepared by the Pentagon with no justification in law.
The Communist Party demands no UK military support for the US premediated attack on Iran. The UK military base at Akrotiri in Cyprus must not be used to fuel, service, or supply US military aircraft engaged in this illegal act of imperialist aggression.
We call on all those who support peace and oppose imperialist war to attend the emergency protest called by the Stop the War on Iran coalition today (Saturday 28 February 2026) from 3pm at Downing Street, London SW1.
28 February 2026
