I've just been listening to the Guerrilla History podcast about Workers Movements in the Global South

It's an interview with Professor Immanuel Ness about his book plutobooks.com/9780745.../orga

You know all that stuff about how AI will replace us all, and there will be no jobs? How there's some Paul Masonite tech utopia where everything is automated?

It's a load of crap.

My car broke down last year - the clutch gave out.

I tried passing a law making it illegal for my car to stop working, tried suing it, tried arresting it and tried sacking it.

Turned out that I needed to spend money maintaining and fixing it.

Who knew...

Benjamin Abelow's 'How the West Brought War to Ukraine' is a vital corrective to 'mainstream' misreporting of the Ukraine war. The e-book version is just 59 pages long - a must-read.

People don't understand how hope works. It doesn't come from downplaying scary truths or from false optimism. Everyone sees through that. Instead, it comes from hard work, from solidarity, from courage. Hope comes from joining together and doing something. Hope comes from action.

Starmer has broken yet another promise – maintaining his perfect betrayal record – by abandoning his pledge to scrap the hateful & cruel Universal Credit system through which the Tories have inflicted years of misery bit.ly/3CxvmXZ

The British Pound lost 20.9% of its value globally as a result of the Brexit Frauderendum result. Currently €1.13 per £.

Half our food is imported.

So what you used to be able to buy for £1 now costs £1.21

That's why UK has worse inflation than others.

Pls don’t let the govt gaslight you into thinking it’s ‘normal’ for patients to be dying in their droves at home, in ambulances, in corridors, in cupboards. Excess deaths are 26% higher than usual. This isn’t normal, it’s grotesque.

A humanitarian crisis, yet Sunak does nothing.
