Imperialist slop loves to whitewash western complicity and shift the blame on the imperialized and (neo)colonized world.

In Gaza, we are exhausted. Three years of war have drained us mentally and physically.

My name is Osama. I’m a university student in my final year. During this war, my family and I lost our home and everything we had. We also lost many relatives and friends, and since then we have been living without any real stability.

My mother and I went back to our city more than once, trying to recover anything from under the rubble, but without success.

We left our home at night under the bombing without taking anything with us. That’s why today we need almost everything. We have no gas, no refrigerator, no proper kitchen tools, and only very few belongings left.

Life in Gaza has become unbelievably expensive, and we can barely afford basic things like food and water. For the third year, even drinking cold water has become something we miss. Especially with summer coming and the heat getting worse, sometimes we just wish for a cold drink of water.

For three years we have struggled every day just to secure basic needs. There is barely any electricity, cooking gas is extremely expensive, and prices are far beyond what people can afford. One kilogram of cooking gas costs around $35, so my mother often cooks using wood and fire. My father used to work as an electrician, but now he has no work and spends his time trying to get food aid from humanitarian organizations whenever he can.

The hardest part is not only surviving. My younger siblings grew up surrounded by war, fear, and deprivation. Now Eid Al-Adha is coming, and I cannot even provide simple things that once felt normal, like new clothes, sweets, or a good meal.

Despite all the pain, I still try to put a smile on my younger siblings’ faces, and on my mother’s and father’s faces too, even through small things that might make them happy for a little while.

In Gaza, we no longer live thinking about the future. We only try to get through one more day.

That is why I am asking for help. Any donation, even a small one, can help me bring some happiness to my family, even if only for a few days.

And if you cannot donate, sharing our story would still mean a lot to us.

Thank you to everyone who helps or even shares our story .

Frank Dikötter's Red Dawn over China is the latest in a series of books by right-wing historians designed to discredit the Chinese communist movement and minimize the revolutionary role of the working class.

The World Socialist Web Site has published a detailed review that cuts through Dikötter's anti-communist propaganda — but in doing so, it also excavates history that official Stalinist accounts have suppressed for a century.

In 1925-27, China experienced a genuinely revolutionary situation. 400,000 workers struck in Shanghai. A quarter of a million workers shut down Hong Kong for 15 months. The Communist Party organized a workers' insurrection that took control of Shanghai in March 1927. What followed was one of the most catastrophic betrayals in the history of the left.

Stalin had ordered the CCP to remain inside the bourgeois Kuomintang (KMT) and subordinate itself to Chiang Kai-shek, dismissing Trotsky's warnings that the Chinese bourgeoisie would inevitably turn on the workers' movement. On April 5, 1927, Stalin declared that "Chiang Kai-shek is submitting to discipline." One week later, Chiang's troops entered Shanghai, the workers were disarmed, and over 5,000 communists and workers were massacred in the following two weeks. The white terror that followed killed thousands more across China.
Trotsky had specifically warned this would happen, arguing as early as 1926 that,
"everything that brings the oppressed and exploited masses of the toilers to their feet, inevitably pushes the national bourgeoisie into an open bloc with the imperialists."
He was expelled from the Communist Party for saying so.

The article is worth reading, whether or not you agree with its conclusions; it takes the actual history of the Chinese workers' movement seriously, in a way that neither Dikötter's right-wing propaganda, nor standard Stalinist accounts do.

It is the workers who produce value, yet capital just continues to flow upwards.

This narrative about “working hard for your wealth” seems closer to being a myth that serves only to pit people against one another in order to divide and conquer.

Given the fact that such a society revolves around ownership rather than work, it is clear why it preserves wealth and undermines collective action, like trade unions.

Elon Musk is starting to behave like laws no longer apply to him. France thus starts an inquiry into X for political manipulation, Holocaust denial, deepfake pornography made by Grok, and child abuse material

 all serious, verified accusations noted by major media.

Musk's response?
Not cooperation. Not accountability. Just insults, slurs, and a tantrum aimed at the magistrates who summoned him.

Skipping a hearing is one thing. it is quite different to refer to the investigators as "retarded", "fake", and make fun of them with homophobic remarks.

right now it isn’t "free speech"
It's a billionaire who really thinks he's above the law, someone who sees democratic institutions as subordinate to him and legal examination as a personal annoyance.

Perhaps the appropriate answer to charges that your platform has millions of sexual photographs, including tens of thousands that seem to show minors, isn't memes and rage-posting.

Musk keeps presenting every inquiry as a conspiracy aimed at him, but the trend is clear:
He lashes out as though he were above the law every time someone tries to hold him responsible

it’s not genius, it’s not innovation.

it’s delusion of power
