Labour’s “democracy” means silencing a Jewish Holocaust survivor – and a descendant of survivors

We publish here a letter sent by Karel Schling to Keir Starmer and a motion he drafted for consideration at…

Many #American #Conservatives might like to critique the #UK as being too #Socialist, many of those critiques may be valid, however, the #USA is not a #Capitalist economic system any more than the UK is, with the #GDP of both nations being comprised of around 40% #government spending.

The USA has been for decades a mixed Capitalist/Socialist economic system. What's most sad about both the UK and #US is that the kind of #Socialism being deployed is actually #corporate Socialism, wherein #taxes are forcibly redistributed to #corporations and the most wealthy. The worst aspects of both systems.

Jeremy #Corbyn is a #multimillionaire with an income 461% more than the #UK average. He comes from #wealth & lives in Finsbury Park where the average house price is 263% above the UK #average & the #median #household #income is 50% above the UK average.

Corbyn is a champagne #socialist & his wealth insulates him from every negative aspect of the mass #migration he advocates for.

Mass migration stagnates #wages, drives up #rent & house prices, puts additional demand on #infrastructure & social services & leads to ethno-linguistic fragmentation of autochthonous #British cultures.

Rail Workers Betrayed By Biden & The “Squad”

'A win for #rail-workers would have been a win for #workers all over the #US who are increasingly ground down by #overwork, and by the knowledge that they are #living-to-work, not #working-to-live. A #socialist cannot be a #strike-breaker. This needs to be the end of any pretense by #DSA that the “ #Squad” is socialist, and should result in their #expulsion from the #organization. Failing that, the Squad’s #betrayal of the #working-class becomes DSA’s betrayal.'

Rail Workers Betrayed By Biden & The “Squad"

When AOC and other members of the “Squad” were first elected, most of them did so as self-identified “democratic socialists.” They ran on working-class platforms that included Medicare for All and a federal $15 minimum wage, vowing they would be...

Poverty in Afghanistan is pushing children to work at brick kilns to keep food on the table.

20 Years of disgusting occupation by #US and NATO trillions of dollars and #Euro spent on military operations and corrupt politicians in Afghanistan, and the country is worse off than it was during the #socialist government of #Taraki or #Najibullah.

#Afghanistan is the shame of the #NATO and western world, 50 years of interventions to destroy a social democratic movement and turn the country into a #Taliban ridden shit hole with mini talibans in charge of those so called "liberated regions".

Recent Save the Children survey says half of Afghanistan’s families have put children to work to keep food on the table.

Kshama Sawant recall election is a high-stakes moment for Seattle

Only residents of Seattle City Councilmember Kshama Sawant's district are deciding whether she should be recalled, but the Dec. 7 vote could ripple through the entire city's political scene. Here's what's at stake.

If we are unable to confront reactionary ideas in our own movement, we will always be inhibited in pursuing our ultimate aim: the #socialist transformation of #society.’

Daniel Randall’s book is a socialist analysis of #leftantisemitism, which asks: ‘How did the political #left, a movement apparently committed to #equality, become a site of #antisemitism, and how can antisemitism on the left be overcome?

Randall traces left antisemitism’s origins to primitive critiques of #capitalism that conflated #Jews with #capital; Stalinism’s “anti-cosmopolitan” and “ #antiZionist ” campaigns of the 1950s onwards; and a form of “ #anti-imperialism ” which designates any #opposition to western #imperialism, including #Israel, as necessarily #progressive.

He argues that, far from representing a logical continuation or inevitable endpoint of left-wing ideas, left antisemitism represents a distortion of them, and that by re-anchoring the socialist project in a #class-struggle #politics of #solidarity and #equality, the left can confront and overcome antisemitism within its own ranks.

As Keir Starmer's Labour leadership launches a new wave of proscriptions and expulsions, Randall argues that these administrative responses are inadequate at best, and counterproductive at worst. He argues that only a political-educational campaign, targeting the #ideological roots of left antisemitism, can overcome it.

This is the second original title published by No Pasaran Media and comes as debates about the response to antisemitism in the #Labour Party continue, and after a spike in antisemitic incidents following an escalation of violence in Israel/ #Palestine in May 2021.
