  • FYI I reported this post:

    Rule 5: No right-deviationists. CPGB-ML is "socially conservative" and Joti herself is a Caleb Maupin collaborator (she went on his show to spew transphobic hatred).

    (Edit) CPGB-ML expels members for "propagation of LGBT ideology":

    Congress therefore resolves that the propagation of identity politics, including LGBT ideology, being reactionary and anti-working class and a harmful distraction and diversion from the class struggle of the proletariat for its social emancipation, is incompatible with membership of the party, rendering those involved in its promotion liable to expulsion.

    Examples of their reactionary rherotic:

    LGBT ideology wants more than equal rights

    But, to return to the question of the demands of the self-appointed LGBT activists. Unlike ordinary people who happen to be gay or transgender, they are not happy with simply being allowed to live their lives in peace and without discrimination; it is not just a question of men and women wanting to be accepted even though they’re different.

    For the so-called activists, it is a question of going far further than that, to the point of absurdity. Transgender activists want us, for instance, to encourage little boys and little girls who prefer the lifestyle that society offers to people of the opposite sex to the one that accords to their own sex to actually physically mutilate themselves in order to achieve the appearance of a person of the other sex.

    The reactionary nightmare of ‘gender fluidity’

    Are ‘sex’ and ‘gender’ synonyms? Well they are synonyms, but a certain group of academics in the seventies in the United States decided that they weren’t synonyms. They were going to use ‘gender’ in their own way; they were going to use ‘gender’ to mean the social construct of behaviour surrounding what was expected of the biological differentiation among human beings (men and women).

    But biological differentiation between male and female is a real thing. It doesn’t just exist in humanity, it exists in many species throughout the natural world. Sexual reproduction is a natural biological process that has persisted in nature due to the diversity it engenders; it is a phenomenon encountered in the natural world.

    Why deny the material reality of gender?

    Why did it become a fashion to say there’s no such thing a male and female?

    Who is pushing this ideology that there is no such thing as gender? That there is no such thing as sex? That it’s not real?

    There is even a movement termed ‘ableism’ or ‘trans-ableism’. There exist people who say: “I look as if I’ve got two arms and two legs, but actually in reality, I feel like I was born disabled.”

    ‘Transgender rights’ are bourgeois ideology. The whole issue confounds reality. It is pure idealism because the reality is that we cannot choose our identity at will. It is an illusion, a mistake and a crime to teach people to think that they can choose like this, under capitalism.

    They also voiced their opinion on JK Rowling:

    The author’s brave stance in defence of reality must be defended, and her hysterical detractors exposed as the reactionary bullies they are.

    And here's them openly promoting US patsocs:

    Working-class antiwar rage sends US woke mafia into a head fit

    Unlike other self-identifying (and self-neutering) antiwar movements (essentially middle-class ‘left’ rackets in hock to the Democratic party in the USA or the Labour party in Britain), the Rage movement might actually pose a real threat to the establishment.

    And lastly here's the YT video I referenced in the report: youtu.be/5v7bWFFLzUY?t=1666

    Last time I looked into CPGB-ML was like 5 years ago, but I can see since then Caleb released plenty of interviews with both Joti and Harpal Brar (CPGB-ML chairman) so the collaboration is very official and not a singular lapse of judgement on Joti's part as some people tried arguing back then.

  • I didn't make a prediction, I just meant this is completely in character for Putin.

  • I'm shocked. Shocked!

    Well, not that shocked.

  • It's not a government policy, it's a trade union initiative. UK government signed the charter as an employer of 2 mln civil servants. It's a good thing when large employers concede to trade unions and give their workers more rights. It's a small improvement but that's what trade unions do, they try to negotiate better working conditions and rights with employers, they don't cardinally change the system.

    Fuck Starmers govt, but let's not piss on the work trade unions do and present fight against unfair dismissals as some nefarious plot to exploit the people.

    This policy in particular reduces the “excuse” that some dying and/or disabled people might have that they cannot find work because their employer fired them.

    It's not a policy and it absolutely does not do that. It has no effect on whether people qualify for benefits or not. All it does is that employers who sign up to this charter vouch to not fire their employees for getting ill, and to be supportive in finding suitable working arrangements. It doesn't prevent employees from leaving their jobs and it doesn't diminish their chances of getting benefits.

  • That's like going off against raising the minimum wage because you'd rather support workers owning their enterprises.

  • It’s no different than what labour are doing with the disabled, acting like it’s a favour to disabled people to force them back into work because it’s what’s best for them

    It's very different.

    One is protecting employees from dismissal and making employers offer working conditions that suit terminally ill employees. It does not force employees to stay at work and it does not cancel any benefits.

    The other is cutting benefits to force disabled people into work they are not fit to do.

  • Not that different from getting advice from tarot, astrology, self-help books, motivational speakers, lifestyle gurus, influencers...

    I'm pretty sure AI trained on a dead persons chat/posting/email history will soon replace various psychics and mediums too.

  • Pasting my comment from Lemmygrad:

    Much as it would be totally in character for Starmers Labour, that is not what’s happening here.

    Dying To Work charter aims to protect terminally ill people from dismissal and give them flexible work conditions. Civil Services signing up to it, boosting the total number of protected employees from 1.5 mln to 3.5 mln, is a very good thing.

    Here’s how it started: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEf21fpcDjI

    The example charter: https://www.dyingtowork.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Example-Charter.pdf

    This is a classic example of labour struggle, fighting for the working rights of vulnerable people. It’s a Trade Union Congress initiative, all the UK unions support it and you should too.

  • Ah the Korean War, also sometimes called "the Forgotten War" by pundits and journos who's fucking job it is to not allow shit like this to be "forgotten".

    They won't let you forget Tiananmen square for a minute, but the war with the highest percentage of civilan casualties in history, with over 10 million deaths which is higher proportion that Soviet losses in WW2, the bombing campaign so genocidal that by the US army general admission there was simply nothing left to bomb when they were done... Oopsie, we forgot!

  • Pasting my comment from lemmygrad:

    This is clearly a punishment to humiliate the soldier for some misdeed, you can hear his squadmates laughing at the end.

    Translation is shit, “your pot isn’t cooking” means “you’re fucking dumb”, the commander says “tomorrow you’ll be walking around with the bow and arrow all day long since you’re too fucking dumb to carry a gun, and in the evening during formation, in front of the whole regiment, you will ceremoniously hand over this weapon and I’ll give you back your regular weapon”.

    Funny shit though

  • saying the quiet part out loud has become the only factor setting Tories apart from Labour

  • I think calling Jezza "the most right wing leftist" is a bit unkind, he's one of the best ones in the entire West along with Melenchon. But of course what you say is true, look how the US "progressive" side of Dem party sabotaged Bernie.

  • It's legal up to 6th month if approved by a doctor (which they pretty much always do). This "guidance" is attempting to "crack down" on women who end pregnancy too late, but in reality we all know this is just further victimising women for having a miscarriage, and when cops are deciding which miscarriage looks "susipicious" to them we all know who they're going to harass and traumatize.

  • I mean, Wagner is a private military founded by a Nazi, it includes openly neonazi outfits like Rusich, are we surprised they would commit crimes on the African population?

    Also I think dismissing everything coming from mainstream Western media as a hoax is counterproductive. Clearly they have an axe to grind but that doesn't mean those crimes didn't happen.

    The article ends with a statement that once Wagner left and got replaced by Africa Corps which unlike Wagner is directly overseen by the Russian Ministry of Defense, crimes ended (they call it a "lull in atrocities", the language is definitely charged but we should be able to look past that)

  • they're just saying what techbro lobbyists tell them to, to get that economic bubble nice and ready to pop

  • Yeah Parenti was right to end their friendship when Bernie voted to bomb Yugoslavia.
