Basanta – Bicentenary of Marx and the Proletarian Revolution
May 5, 1818 is the day on which Karl Heinrich Marx, the pioneer of Marxism and the leader of the world proletariat, was born. In the coming May 5, 2019 it is going to complete 200 years. Marx and his comrade in arms Frederick Engels invented the doctrine of liberation of the proletariat i.e. Marxism. Even after this long period, the relevance of Marxism has not lessened but has increased further. The revolutionary parties, entire proletariat, working class people and the oppressed masses have been joyfully celebrating Marx’s bicentenary with various programmes all through this year. Our party also is observing this bicentenary in various ways. This article too is a part of this celebration. This short article prepared in this context will attempt to touch on the questions like what Marxism is, how a genuine communist should grasp it, what are the challenges the international communist movement is facing now and how one should contend with these challenges etc.

Forgotten France Rises Up
December 15, place de l’Opéra, Paris. Three yellow vests read out an address ‘to the French people and the president of the Republic, Emmanuel Macron’ saying: ‘This movement belongs to no one and to everyone. It gives voice to a people who for 40 years have been dispossessed of everything that enabled them to believe in their future and their greatness.’The anger provoked by a fuel tax produced, within a month, a wider diagnosis of what ails society and democracy. Mass movements that bring together people with minimal organisation encourage rapid politicisation, which explains why ‘the people’ have discovered that they are ‘dispossessed of their future’ a year after electing as president a man who boasts he swept aside the two parties that alternated in power for 40 years.

Ten years after the first war on Gaza, Israel still plans endless brute force
This month marks the 10th anniversary of the first major military assault on the 2 million Palestinians of the Gaza Strip. After its unilateral withdrawal from Gaza in 2005, Israel turned the area into the biggest open-door prison on Earth. The two hallmarks of Israel’s treatment of Gaza since then have been mendacity and the utmost brutality towards civilians.On 27 December 2008, Israel launched Operation Cast Lead, pounding the densely populated strip from the air, sea and land for 22 days. It was not a war or even “asymmetric warfare” but a one-sided massacre. Israel had 13 dead; the Gazans had 1,417 dead, including 313 children, and more than 5,500 wounded. According to one estimate 83% of the casualties were civilians. Israel claimed to be acting in self-defence, protecting its civilians against Hamas rocket attacks. The evidence, however, points to a deliberate and punitive war of aggression. Israel had a diplomatic alternative, but it chose to ignore it and to resort to brute military force.

The “Choice” Bait and Switch
The word “choice” is rhetorically powerful in American politics. Who could be opposed to it?But choice is a recent entry in the lexicon of language, used to convince working and poor people that our problems are of our own doing, so we — not the government or corporations or any larger force in society — must fix them ourselves.Like the phrases “personal responsibility” and “pull yourself up by your bootstraps,” the rhetoric of choice seduces us into turning frustration with our lot in life towards competing for a piece of an ever-shrinking pie. It tells us not to be angry at our boss, elected officials, the wealthy — whoever is holding us down — but to simply demand better choices.

Lol cuckenomics

I don't remember the video, but in one of the talks he did at I believe some conference or university he mentioned how the "gig economy" was a sham that couldn't last and how it was propped up by Porky. I'll try to find it but it's been a while since I watched.

I approve this. Worked great for Horst Wessel. Was probably staged tho.

It'll trickle down..

There's nothing sectarian about supporting Dengoids. That would imply that they're socialists.

Sectarianism refers to needless animosity between socialist tendencies. Dengoids aren’t socialists though.
