I am in the latest issue of 'Women in Leadership' thank you @SholaMos1@WILPublication which you can find here: https://t.co/gjYUGLP41m 🥰
I've found the main demographic who stop me in the street are young women 💚 I wrote a few words about how I see leadership & courage!
Huge protests in India, following brutal rape and murder of a female doctor. Authorities told her family she committed suicide.
Video from Kolkata, but big rallies and protests throughout the country.
Reports of state repression and threat of social media blackout.
The revolution in Bangladesh is incomplete.
This new gvt led by Dr Yunus is a capitalist government, we place no trust in it!
The student and worker committees must spread and seize power themselves!
My latest article "Where next for Bangladesh?"

The progressive patriots strike again!
The YCL's idea of 'rejecting identity politics' equals:
- calling for more immigration controls
- calling for an "integration strategy" (read: immigrants are to blame for not fitting in)
- "constructing a unified national (!!) vision" (?)
A "PEOPLE-powered campaign" is code for:
Electing an installed candidate of the Revolutionary Communist Party to be the sole ruling authority of the PEOPLE's Republic of America.
Case breakdown:
The white racist Jordan Plain who made monkey noises at black people, called asian people slurs, and participated in a pogrom has received 8 months.
The two men here who fought the racists back out of their community have received 1 year 8 months / 2 . 5 years.
The whole world should be watching the revolution in Bangladesh. Exhibit number 50000 in the mass of regular people showing the ability to run its own affairs.
3 thoughts:
1) The far-right is a menace but not yet a mass force.
2) It’s made up of cowards who won’t fight if they’re outnumbered.
3) The state, media & political establishment pat themselves on the back after the defeat of a racist pogrom they provoked to begin with.
Let's be clear. LP advised people to stay indoors, so did many of the mosque authorities (for instance in Walthamstow). What cleared the fash off the streets was the groundswell of local community defenders (mainly Muslim) at the weekend and anti racists yesterday. Not cops.
