90% of self declared Leninists learn the completely wrong lessons from Lenin and the Bolsheviks. it's not the 20th century, we do not live in tsarist Russia, you do not need to try to copy and paste all of the organizational practices that they adopted, most of it is irrelevant

Ghassan Kanafani was murdered by Mossad in July, 1972. they blew up his car with him and his 17 year old inside, martyring both. He was a communist revolutionary, and the modern communist revolutionaries in Palestine follow in his footsteps.

the fact that this very mild critique of the state of modern Cuba is making people so mad is ridiculous, and the accusations of this being Americans dictating how to do socialism to Cubans is absurd when the article is focusing on the critical left in Cuba itself.
It is our duty to fight the US embargo on Cuba! Our aim, though, must be to empower Cuban workers to win democratic control of society, instead of pretending they already do under a repressive bureaucracy.

Britain's political situation is so atrocious that Galloway is becoming one of their most reasonable sounding politicians despite being a reactionary crank
When asked if Hamas should be “allowed” to govern Gaza, newly elected Rochdale MP George Galloway said that the question was “dripping with imperial condescension.”
He added “Perhaps, the people of Palestine must make their own governments.”
