Mohammad Ali al-Houthi, a leader in Ansarallah said that, "The Americans have no right in the Red Sea … When you accept and acknowledge [...] the legitimacy of the North Korean submarine or the modern Chinese aircraft carrier remaining near Florida in international waters, we will consider accepting the idea of the legitimacy of your presence in international waters.”

"Yemen is playing the US game — not allowing other nations’ vessels near its territorial waters," he added.

Heroic Yemenis capture Israeli ship, deal hefty economic blow to the zionist entity

Footage of the ship’s capture has gone viral and inspired resistance forces across the region

The slick operation to board and sequester an Israeli ship passing through the Red Sea has won huge acclaim for the Yemeni national army across the middle east. It is another sign of the USA’s fading power in the region that it has been shown to be essentially toothless in responding.

Bourgeois academics, media pundits and figureheads of the counter-revolutionary ‘left’ continue to sow confusing and superficial ideas about class.

https://t.co/NkUGvLBatb

This propaganda campaign has been so effective as to destroy not just class consciousness and solidarity amongst many workers in Britain, but also the very idea of class itself.

To be effective in building a revolutionary movement in the face of ceaseless efforts by our minority rulers to divide us against each other, it is important to know who are the working class and, having identified them, to know where their most revolutionary sections are to be found. We must also learn to identify both our enemies and all those who could potentially be allies in the struggle for socialism.

Having done so, we will be better able to resolve all those contradictions amongst the people that have been so carefully nurtured by the ruling class, and to build a united struggle against the capitalist system.

A vital read for communists to understand class in Britain today.

And yet, the CPB leadership and its “Britain’s Road to socialism” program and 2023 congress resolutions are committed to supporting a Keir Starmer Labour government as a step towards the “united front” that will bring the “Left wing program” and thereby socialist revolution��

A must read for every CPB member: Britain’s road to socialism?

https://t.co/8911CbDQtH

The British Road to Socialism (BRS) was first published in 1951 and set the orientation of what was then the only communist party in Britain – and an integral part of the global movement that seemed to be well on its way to becoming the chief force in global politics and human history.

Within that powerful post-war communist movement, however, there raged a fierce battle for leadership between a revolutionary communist line and a capitulationist ‘revisionist’ economic line – the latter seeking to preserve or reintroduce elements of the market economy within socialist states and to reach a rapprochement with capitalist imperialism internationally.

It was the victory of the revisionists that led to the demise of the once-glorious USSR and brought the international working class to its present low point, once more facing a global economic crisis of monopoly capitalism and its drive toward world war.

The BRS was a minor wing of the revisionist section of the international communist movement. Its central premise has remained constant ever since 1951, and can be crudely but accurately summarised in the slogan: ‘Vote Labour everywhere!’

This book examines the history and ideas of the BRS, contrasting them with the real history of the Labour party, to demonstrate that the British working class has made and will make no progress towards its liberation from capitalist wage slavery until it discards the practice, slogan and justifying ‘theory’ of voting for and supporting the Labour party.

A century of policy and practice has incontrovertibly proved that the Labour party is not a party that fights for the interests of working people, but against them. It has been and remains a ‘Tory party mark two’; an integral part of the dictatorship of the monopoly capitalist class.

https://t.co/PdEz0Oufpm

We must awaken workers to the need to struggle not only against zionist Israel, but against the entire imperialist system.

As new layers of previously apolitical Britons join the struggle in solidarity with Palestinian liberation, our task is to transform them into a movement against the imperialist system itself – the system which created and sustains Israel; the system which is denying not only Palestinians but British workers, too, a dignified and meaningful future.

Genocidaire Benjamin Netanyahu is privately concerned about the "huge demonstrations in western capitals".

"We need to apply counter-pressure," he said.

🔺Ranjeet Brar criticizes Western media for portraying Palestinian resistance as unjustified, premeditated, cold-blooded murder, equating it to the largest killing of Jews since the Holocaust, while ignoring the decades-long systematic violation of Palestinian rights by the Israeli regime.

Zionism is not a jewish project; it is an imperialist construct — an instrument to perpetuate imperialist domination of the middle east. Its main purpose is to ensure continued imperialist control of the region’s oil and gas reserves.

The zionist state of Israel is a dagger aimed at the heart of the Arab people’s revolutionary-democratic movement. At the same time it has subjugated mentally a large proportion of the world’s jews — people who were formerly to be found in the front ranks of every democratic and socialist movement.

Owing to the suppression of the historical truth about zionism, the wider masses, including the jewish masses, are unaware of the true nature of this pernicious ideology, which is racist, antisemitic and reactionary to its core.

As the malformed offspring of imperialist intrigues and crazed zionist ideology, the artificially constructed Israeli state is bound to prove a historical abortion. As a colonial enterprise that appeared at a time when colonialism was already well past its sell-by date, Israel is bound to collapse through the resistance the Palestinian masses and the fatigue brought upon the jewish settler population by endless warfare.

This pamphlet is our small contribution to exposing and defeating this vicious tool of imperialism.

67 years ago, on December 2, 1956, a small armed detachment of Cuban revolutionaries in the amount of 82 people under the command of Fidel Castro, arriving from Mexico on the yacht Granma, landed in the area of ​​​​the beaches of Las Coloradas in the Cuban province of Oriente and entered into battle with many times superior forces. his units of the regular army of the dictator Batista.

https://t.co/nAqcTaglFb

In the first battle with government forces, the revolutionaries were defeated, but 12 fighters led by Fidel Castro managed to break into the Sierra Maestra mountains, where they organized a rebel army, which during 1956-1958 extended its operations to other areas of Cuba.

This battle marked the beginning of the final stage of the struggle of the Cuban people against the dictatorship, which ended with the complete victory of the revolution on January 1, 1959, and December 2 became the birthday of the Cuban Revolutionary Armed Forces (FAR).

4 members of the @CPGBML were arrested at the recent #Palestine demon for distributing literature that explains the history of the zionist state.

[Midwestern Marx @MidwesternMarx]

“More than a century ago Karl Marx observed that those who control the material means of production also control the mental means of production. So in every epoch the ruling ideas are the ideas of the ruling class. Indeed, it seems so today. Viewpoints supported by money have no trouble gaining mass exposure and sympathetic media treatment, while those offensive to moneyed interests languish either for want of the costly sums needed to reach a vast public or because of the prohibitions exercised by media owners and management. In a word, the mass media are a class-dominated media—bound by the parameters of ownership in a capitalist society.

The media play a twofold role. While seen as something apart from business, they actually are a big business. But like the "nonprofit" churches, universities, law schools, professional associations, arts and political parties, the media also are an institution geared for ideological control. Their role is to reproduce the conditions of social and class stability, to carry out the monopoly management of image and informa- tion, but in such a way as to engineer an appearance of class neutrality and an appearance of independence from the corporate class that owns them.”
