This is what I think of whenever an anarchist talks about off-the-grid community gardens as a viable alternative to modern food production. Industrial-scale, mechanised agriculture is one of the greatest achievements of our species. You aren't competing with this.

If you're debating whether or not restaurants will exist under socialism, you're engaging in the exact kind of abstract, speculative utopianism that Marx and Marxism eschew. Such questions will not be resolved in hypothetical discussion, but in practice.

Many responses are under the impression that I think the current agricultural practices are sustainable and require no changes. Of course that is not the case. The point is that turning our backs on the huge advancements of modern industry and technique is extremely utopian.

This is why it's important to have a dialectical understanding of progress. A higher form of society/technique/thinking doesn't reject all that came before it. It preserves the progressive, rational kernel and develops it further, while stripping away its negative features.

Such questions can be fun, and in some cases instructive, to discuss. But there are no hard and fast answers. This is not a burning question, nor should it come anywhere near our programme. Actual socialism will be much more experimental and variegated than we can imagine.

Exploitation isn't a choice for capitalists. The only way to augment capital is by increasinging the surplus labour value taken from the total value produced by the worker. The degree of exploitation is irrelevant; even a 'well-paid' worker is exploited. Its not a moral question.

What we do know from empirical observation of the USSR (which was not socialist but strove towards socialism) is that the socialisation of petty domestic labour is a historically progressive act. Therefore, canteens and communal eateries will likely play an important role.

Just paid for £4.60 for a bus journey in Durham that would cost £1.50 in London 🙃 How on earth working class people are supposed to afford this on a daily basis is beyond me. This is why we need fully nationalised public transport under workers control.

Stalinist slander: Trotsky only joined the Bolsheviks when it was clear they were going to win.
Reality: When Trotsky arrived in Petersburg in May 1917, he and Lenin agreed that Trotsky would join the Mezhraiontsy (Inter-district committee) to win them over to Bolshevism. 🧵

The progressive patriots strike again!
The YCL's idea of 'rejecting identity politics' equals:
- calling for more immigration controls
- calling for an "integration strategy" (read: immigrants are to blame for not fitting in)
- "constructing a unified national (!!) vision" (?)
After the riots and before the next: immigration, integration and class unity.
The Challenge editorial board calls for a rejection of identity politics and liberal myths, proposing a nuanced approach to immigration that prioritises working-class interests and international

Any "socialist" in the West who exclusively criticises the role of Russia in this conflict is de facto siding with their own ruling class.
True internationalism requires unceasing, ruthless criticism of the lies, intrigues and machinations of our own ruling classes.

Glorifying child soldiers to own the libs
Over 100,000 of the Union army soldiers in the civil war were under the age of 15.
The average age of a soldier killed on D-day was 22 years old.
Today, we deal with men that cry and boycott if conservatives are schedule to speak on their campuses.
Pathetic.

The original popular front was an abysmal failure. It failed to prevent fascism everywhere it was carried out, and instead gave a left cover to the bourgeois policies that demoralised the masses and paved the way for fascism.

Annual reminder that Joseph Stalin was a mediocrity who played barely any role in the revolution of 1917, and a counter-revolutionary Bonapartist who rose to power as the representative of the privileged Soviet bureaucracy. In doing so, he butchered the Bolshevik Old Guard.

Adorno's anti-scientific approach to fascism (i.e listing vague characteristics ripped out of history) obscures more than it clarifies, and is thereby actively harmful.
Fascism can only be understood as a movement of the enraged petty bourgeois in an epoch of capitalist decline.

This front cover of The Communist came a month too early.
The communists predicted since day one that Israel's war would spiral into a devastating regional conflict.
The only solution lies in taking down our own imperialists, and a series of revolutions across the Middle East.

The Queen's death could not come at a worse time for the ruling class - with an economy in crisis, a myopic Tory government at the helm, and a tsunami of class struggle. The monarch's death opens a new stormy chapter in the death agony of British capitalism.

This campaign has been a massive inspiration for me and thousands of others.
Regardless of the result on 4 July, the revolutionary communists have already won.
We have raised the sights of workers and youth, by explaining how we can fight Starmer and the system he represents.
The last 7 weeks have been the most intense but rewarding time of my life. I have never felt more confident that whatever happens tomorrow on the 4th, the 5th of July will be the beginning of a new battle against imperialism and capitalism. Vote Fiona Lali for Stratford and Bow!

Marx chose the word dictatorship on purpose, and we should continue to use it where appropriate. A dictatorship denotes a regime can suspend the law and isn't constrained by legality, allowing it to be swift and bold. This is the *only* form of state that can forge a new society.
