There’s a word for people who justify attacks on synagogues: it’s Nazis. We actually already know what to do with them.

It’s not complicated. Going out and attacking Jewish people at synagogues & schools around the world is antisemitic and abhorrent. Jewish people, like all people, deserve to live in safety.

Why “Neutral” Anti-Imperialism Keeps Losing, by Siyâvash Shahabi – 1 March 2026 leftrenewal.org/articles-en/...

Interessante bijdrage over het gebruik van geweld

Linkse/progressieve mensen zouden echt minder energie moeten besteden aan politieke partijen. Die liegen en draaien nu eenmaal, what else is new? Boeiender is de vraag wat men nu kan doen om mensen die baanloos, arbeidsongeschikt, of zorgbehoevend zijn te helpen organiseren en een stem te geven.

We can better resist the imposition of repressive measures to tackle antisemtism by committing to taking our own measures for change, including in our own ranks. workersliberty.org/story/2026-0...

Contra anti-imperialists - there are many, many things worse than liberal democracies

just a reminder that antisemitism has been a part of Western culture for over a millennia and has a powerful influence on culture, social life, and politics. as with other forms of oppression, like misogyny and racism, open violence is just an explicit expression of more widespread attitudes.

(It’s not middle class to fight with and for the most marginalised and for our very survival. An understanding of the working class that excludes trans and racialised people is not an understanding of class. Dempsey has swallowed an elite right-wing culture war stereotype of the working class.)

Good response from @workersliberty.bsky.social to Eddie Dempsey’s call in Tribune for the left to retreat from “middle class” causes like trans rights, climate change and anti-racism. www.workersliberty.org/story/2025-0...

Populism was never the issue The issue was calling far-right politics "populism" which was not only inaccurate but euphemised and legitimised them as a so-called alternative to the status (while they aim to take the worst of it and push it further) Yes, I'll keep banging on about this

🧵

it's just a matter of what type of "political violence" you can ignore or justify and what is visible to you

to my mind the woman who dies of sepsis because of antiabortion laws, or the person who dies because they can't afford insulin -- these are just as much victims of political violence as the man shot through the throat while making a racist speech

I haven’t seen anyone post this song yet, though I’m sure that’s just my fault. RIP to a fucking legend.

Authoritarian leaders always promote conspiracy theories (whether cynically or because they really believe them). Netanyahu, Trump, Erdogan and Modi (like Hitler and Stalin) claim to be blocked by a deep state, but get basically no actual material opposition from their country’s establishments.

Eugenics was and continues to be a pseudoscience. The rise of white nationalism has given it new wings, and academics must push back. Thank you @nature.com for stating this so clearly.

Technical Sergeant William E. Thomas and Private 1st Class Joseph Jackson showing some “Easter Eggs” they painted especially for Hitler.

I really hate sounding like a broken record but ... A President transporting people to the sovereign territory of another state to avoid the extension of US constitutional protection is ... Not new at all?

De behandeling die Zelensky gisteren kreeg in het Oval Office was ontegenzeggelijk schandalig en vernederend, maar nog lang niet zo schandalig en vernederend als het 'verdrag' dat hij daar in eerste instantie zou gaan tekenen. Maar daar hoor je al die nette Europese regeringsleiders niet over...

Just because someone is rich it doesn't mean they are smart. Generations upon generations of the smartest people the world has ever seen died as farmers in obscurity. We only get to know about the people with the money and power who were written about. They're powerful, not smart.

"Opposition to the current state of the world is not synonymous with fighting for a liberatory future."

Wilders en Meloni zijn niet 'milder' of 'pragmatischer' geworden, maar zolang iedereen dat gelooft kunnen zij hun grip op de politieke instituties consolideren, terwijl anderen (in parlement en op straat) hun extreemrechtse boodschap blijven uitdragen. Zelfs als fascisten ademen dan liegen ze nog.

Uiteindelijk is het afschaffen van cisheteronormativiteit in ieders voordeel, omdat iedereen dan vrijer is om een eigen identiteit aan te meten. Maar om dit te laten werken moet je je ook verzetten tegen kapitalisme, racisme en klassisme, onder andere.

One key feature of Operaismo is the insight that the proletariat is in fact on the active and initiating side of class struggle. Capital, on the other hand, is largely responsive and must continuously seek to gain control over the political and productive potential of the working class.

Een paar gedachten over de recente verkiezingsuitslagen, op Doorbraak.eu. We moeten dit niet bagatelliseren, maar tegelijkertijd ook niet doen alsof hier sprake is van een radicale verschuiving. Het politieke discours was, in veel opzichten, al extreem-rechts. www.doorbraak.eu/nederland-wa...

Dat is de enige juiste reactie: terugvechten van onderop. Want het parlement mag dan steeds verder naar rechts schuiven, al meer dan veertig jaar, grote delen van de samenleving kennen gelukkig nog voldoende linkse strijdbaarheid en solidariteit. www.doorbraak.eu/the-day-afte...
