"Unquestionably the person that can get lowest down in cringing before royalty and nobility, and can get most satisfaction out of crawling on his belly before them, is an American. Not all Americans, but when an American does it he makes competition impossible." Mark Twain

1/9 The NIH has awarded fewer than HALF its normal grants at this point in the fiscal year. This isn't incompetence. It's a deliberate destruction of American public health. Here's what's really happening — and why it affects all of us. 🧵 @doritmi @PeterDaszak @WSWS_Update

Individual acts of violence "have more of a soporific and paralyzing effect," they weaken "the clear understanding of the absolute necessity for, and the exceptionally decisive importance of, a mass movement among the people, a mass revolution of the proletariat." Rosa Luxemburg

@ProudSocialist Deliberate suppression and diversion of popular anger by the Democratic Party and trade union apparatus only deepens the sense of frustration and impotence, creating conditions in which desperate, ill-advised and destructive individual actions can emerge. wsws.org/en/articles/20…

MUST READ. The history of Labour's fear of Communism is particularly important. (FWIW: I thought it was notable that the list of those “incompatible with the values and constitutional framework of Your Party" did NOT include - Labour Party of Great Britain - Green Party of England and Wales Are their members banned by Your Party? Or are they "compatible"? The actions of Corbyn given the answer.) --- Your Party’s purge of socialists: the rotten end of the Corbyn project - World Socialist Web Site wsws.org/en/articles/20… ... Labour’s fear of communism With their anti-socialist purge, the Corbynites are the true inheritors of the Labourite tradition. The Labour Party developed as a pillar of the capitalist order in bitter struggle against the growing influence of communism. In September 1920, amidst a mass upsurge of the working class following the Russian Revolution, Labour’s NEC rejected the Communist Party of Great Britain’s (CPGB) application to affiliate. It ruled that CPGB’s “objects do not appear to be in accord” with the party’s constitution, principles, and programme, which rejected the dictatorship of the proletariat (i.e., a workers’ state). ... By 1962, the Socialist Labour League, founded in 1959, had won support across the Labour Party’s youth movement, the Young Socialists, and its newspaper Keep Left. The Labour Party under Harold Wilson responded in 1964 with mass expulsions, but Healy fought back, and the YS split from the Labour Party, becoming the youth movement of the SLL. Healy’s victory, with meagre resources but an educated and determined cadre, stands as an indictment of Corbyn’s abject capitulation to the Blairites in 2015-20. But Corbyn did not merely capitulate. Behind the scenes, he supported Jon Lansman’s campaign to expel “Trotskyites” from campaign group Momentum, facilitating the mass purges organised by Labour’s Compliance Unit codenamed “Operation Icepick”. ... Corbyn’s “mission accomplished” The collapse in support for Your Party—now polling at 0 percent in YouGov’s latest voter intention survey, down from 18 percent last summer—will not perturb Corbyn in the slightest. Content on Labour’s backbenches or delivering moral sermons as an Independent, he has worked to throttle any genuine socialist challenge to Labour. In 2015, with power in his hands, he did everything he could to block a mass movement to oust the Blairites, handing leadership to their anointed successor, Keir Starmer, less than five years later. ... Rewriting history In the SWP’s Socialist Worker, Tomáš Tengely-Evans reported YP’s expulsion of SWP members on April 12, declaring: “The witch-hunt of the left stands in the worst traditions of Labour—and comes after a campaign of sabotage by the clique that runs Your Party”.

Trump immediately used the shooting in Washington to compare himself (grotesquely) with Lincoln and to rationalize the construction of his monstrous ballroom. This is true to form and emblematic of the degeneration of the ruling class. #Trump #whcd wsws.org/en/articles/20…
