They're calling it "Assisted Dying Bill". So the killing is going to be farmed out to private companies, who will make money for killing people. This means Capitalist profit maximization applied to psychological torture to drive people to off them selves. Mass-murder, in plain language.

CP of Bangladesh, CPB expresses concern over India-Pakistan military tensions
CPB President Md. Shah Alam and General Secretary Ruhin Hossain Prince said in this statement that the reactionary bourgeois ruling classes of both India and Pakistan are responsible for this horrific rise in religious extremism and terrorism. They create or incite these terrorist incidents for their own narrow political interests. The brutal killings and terrorism in Pahelgam are no exception to this. CPB always upholds its strong position against religious extremism and terrorism.

He urged the government to ensure the protection of the people in the border areas and also to provide all required assistance to those who are affected by the situation.

>Immigration
The right were correct, go to anywhere in Europe and it's clear as day mass immigration is a fucking slowly unrolling disaster. "Great Replacement" honestly seems more true than not in many European cities that have frankly just turned into Ethnic enclaves. I've noticed as well the complete lack of integration, the hostility migrants have towards locals and frankly, the complete lack of giving a shit that minority have towards upholding any standards or quality of life. Go to any Ethnic enclave area and just see absolute fucking trash everywhere, run down buildings, third world tier wet markets etc. Another issue is when these groups seize power in areas, they tend to trend towards the far-right. They basically just use the left as useful idiots when they don't have power to capture councils and mayorships.
>Gender issues.
Enough said. Literally denied material and biological reality and tried to rip away the identity and safety of women and children for a group that frankly acts completely cultish. Slippery sloping, bad faith arguments non-stop, constant contradictiory positions from one sentence to the next, a complete rejection of common sense and materialism. All while never actually being able to answer a basic question "What is a woman/man?". Polling came in showing Gender Issues is one of the top reasons people are abandoning the left.
>Defund/BLM/Racial Idpol.
Just poorly thought out Identity Politics that mostly empowered establishment middle management grifters, refused to have real conversations about the behavior and state of certain minority groups, ended up pushing extremist Neoliberal solutions to issues (Defund/Land Back = Privatize). Spured a massive victim identity complex among minority groups, especially black people who are now are acting worse than ever with black youths just engaging in mass scale antisocial behavior justified with wild victim complex narcissism. Ethnic Victim Complex almost always end up as Ethno-Narcissism. It also is just a loser for the left. The Establishment have shown numerous times they instantly Post too long.

WM3 are 100% guilty, the evidence against them was pretty much overwhelming and they had detailed knowledge of the crime scene before police even knew about aspects of it. They also bragged about doing it before being arrested, or the crime even found.
Yes, not much physical evidence was left, but the rest of the evidence against them was just absurdly overwhelming. A lot of the "They are innocent" arguments are super "Netflix documentary" levels of weak as well, like "Jessie is too slow and retarded to commit such a crime his autism score tests prove it", yet Jessie's I.Q. score is literally higher than the average African American I.Q. score lmao or that how did Damien know where to do the crime of a town he was unfamiliar with since he didn't live in it? When he lived literally just like 2 miles away from it down the road.
Jessie is really a pretty good slam dunk that they are guilty as well, as he actually somewhat seemingly felt about about it and immediately started begging for forgiveness to friends before even being arrested, in Jail, he constantly confessed to cell mates and other innmates, and the top "WM3 are 100% innocent" activist, after meeting Jessie in a private meeting to help get them out of jail, broke off all contact with him and the WM3, and changed her position to they absolutely did it and are 100% guilty.
This isn't even touching on Damien, who was a clear serial killer in the making. Literal teen Animal torturing, blood drinking, cannibal, demon worshipping Satanist, violent ASPD sociopath. He is so absurd it's basically a parody of a serial killer. Ironically, this is why people also argue they are innocent, that Damien is such an edgelord, that this was just "attacking Goths and Satanic Panic" when the reality was, Damien was just a Cluster B unstable violent sociopath and had been one since childhood.
Yet most of the Left are "they are still innocent duuur". It's a very similar case with the CP5. Where the evidence against them is overwhelming (they had mentioned "Ray" (Rayes) being at the scene with them years before he was a police suspect) but they "got off" (Vacated, never exonerated) due to technicalities.
Either way in general, the left has a bizarre love in with Lumpens. If anything, It feels that the current western Left seem to side with Lumpens far more with Proles.

Instead, what appears to still be on the table are tougher work requirements for those receiving Medicaid and food stamp assistance and more frequent eligibility tests for beneficiaries.

Palestine solidarity is now breaking the political consensus and isolating Labour
LABOUR’S Gaza shame deepens by the day. While Keir Starmer calls Israel’s continuing assault on the Palestinian people “intolerable” he nevertheless continues to not just tolerate, but to actively enable the genocidal aggression. Even one of the few half-steps Labour has taken since coming into office, the suspension of some arms licences for export to Israel, is now called into question. It appears that munitions for Israel’s war have been supplied regardless. Week after week, hapless Foreign Office minister Hamish Falconer is sent to the Commons to cover for Starmer and Foreign Secretary David Lammy, himself a study in venal complicity.

Ireland: class struggle not broad fronts will beat the far right
On Saturday 26 April, a large demonstration led by the far right marched through Dublin’s North Inner City. The turnout was significant: estimates range from 5,000 to as many as 10,000. In fact, this was four or five times larger than the previous biggest far-right led mobilisation. On the other side of the Gardaí fence, the counter-protest organised by United Against Racism (UAR) also gathered more than counter-protests in the past. But still, we were outnumbered. Every honest socialist, communist and trade unionist – anyone indeed understanding the dangers the far right poses to the workers’ movement – will have undoubtedly asked themselves: how is it possible that these reactionaries can outnumber us in the streets of Dublin? This article is intended as a comradely contribution to what we believe is a necessary and urgent discussion in the wake of last weekend’s events. A discussion about our tactics in the fight against the far right.

Firstly, let me state that I am aware that in *some way* all forms of American socialism will be "anti American" in that it advocates for the removal of the current system, just as all (or most) forms of socialism do. Even demsocs believe that the system under which we currently operate is wrong and must be changed in some way. But American leftists in particular have this very, very anti-American sentiment. And I get it. I hate America too. And the USA is, of course, a colonial state that engaged in genocide. But is it truly beyond redemption?

Moreover, I have to wonder, is it truly expedient to tell people (or at least to imply by our own words and actions) that they have to hate the very *idea* of a united America? I do not necessarily support the ACP, but this is probably why people do. So-called MAGA communism is appealing to many particularly because it lacks this anti-American sentiment.

To be clear, I am anti-America in one sense. I believe that the USA is a genocidal empire, and a force for evil in the world. But in the sense that America must be entirely dissolved, I am not. I do not believe that. Many of the criticism levelled against the USA could have been made against China or Russia. But these were not dissolved; they were simply made into communist versions of themselves. I find America's problem to be capitalism, not the mere existence of a united American nation.

The United States Has Overused Its Sanctions Weapon Review of Chokepoints: How the Global Economy Became a Weapon of War by Edward Fishman (Elliott & Thompson, 2025)
Today we are accustomed to the use of economic sanctions as central tools of foreign policy. Many people may be surprised to discover, however, that this is actually a rather recent development. Sanctions used to be akin to a slap on the wrist — they would be used to target foreign leaders and their inner circles, making it harder for them to moor their yachts in the Mediterranean or purchase mansions in London. Now, of course, sanctions are among states’ most powerful weapons for waging economic warfare. In a new book, Chokepoints: How the Global Economy Became a Weapon of War, Edward Fishman describes how sanctions have been transformed over the past several decades. Fishman has worked in the State Department, the Department of Defense, and the Treasury, where he spent several years in the Terrorism and Financial Intelligence team designing sanctions on states like Iran. Chokepoints is accordingly an insider’s account of how the United States developed an armory of powerful sanctions based on its control over the world’s financial system — and how the overuse of these tools ended up undermining their effectiveness, ultimately compromising US hegemony itself.

POLITICIANS use Victory in Europe Day, the anniversary of Nazi Germany’s surrender, as an excuse for militarist bombast. We must not let this pass. May 8 1945 marks the 80th anniversary of the victory over fascism. Communist Party of Great Britain leader Harry Pollitt called it “the greatest victory of all time.” What may have begun as an inter-imperialist war had become by 1945 a people’s war, mobilising the whole working class in the effort to defeat the most murderous regime in history, Nazi Germany. It was an internationalist war, the heroism of the armies that fought the Nazis equalled by that of the partisans and resistance fighters who fought and died across occupied Europe. The anti-fascist coalition gave birth to the United Nations — to join which, originally, countries needed to declare war on Nazi Germany — and,Post too long. Click here to view the full text.
