A biolab exploded in Conyers, Georgia the other day. According to Jordan Chariton, it's now leaving 90,000 Georgia residents sheltering in place. Chlorine gas going into the air, 32 miles from Atlanta. This is after hurricane Helene just came just came through, and damage and flooding from Helene is still terrible in the southeastern states of Tennessee and North Carolina.

Earlier this year, Atlanta's neglected water infrastructure broke, leaving a huge part of the city without water for days. A lot of commentators are contrasting the dangerous deregulation of industry and middling response to Helene with the eagerness of the Biden admin to send billions to support the genocide in Palestine and brutal war in Ukraine.

>We are demanding that BioLab be held accountable for its crime of poisoning tens of thousands of people at a minimum.
Basic demand but correct.
>The demand is simple: SHUT DOWN BIOLAB!
IMHO this is a bad play, the better play likely is demanding that the thing be converted into a worker cooperative.

The thing likely spewed toxic shit because it was mismanaged, not because it's a fundamentally bad design on a technical level.

The capitalist who owns this likely can't pay for all the damages, so converting it into a cooperative could be part of a deal for dropping some of the damage claims. The workers do not have an incentive to mismanage the plant because they live in the area that would get contaminated, and therefor it'll run smoothly.

>>486324
IMO setting goals high is the best approach… although when you consider that "shut down BioLab" is essentially a euphemism for "revoke BioLab's business license," it sounds like a pretty modest proposal. I kind of wonder how easy it will be to even clean the plant up at this point, too, with this many instances. Working with chlorine isn't very safe in general, is it easy to clean a contaminated plant enough to maintain even a baseline level of safety after repeated fires? Idk.

Not directly related, but there was another explosion at a totally different plant in Camilla, Georgia on December 27th.

An explosion at a Tyson Foods poultry plant occurred in the early hours of December 27, sending shockwaves throughout the plant and affecting workers and their families. A scene of chaos followed the explosion as workers scrambled to find safety. About 1,600 people work in the plant.

Initial investigations suggest that the blast originated in a boiler room, although the exact cause is still under investigation by local authorities and occupational safety officials.

One person was killed, a 61-year-old woman whom the Miller County coroner’s office identified as Bajarma Batozhapov. The Las Vegas woman was sleeping in a truck when the explosion occurred, having traveled to the Camilla plant in search of work. Her husband, a truck driver, was not hurt.

Several other workers sustained injuries; some were treated on-site, while others required hospitalization. The Tyson Foods plant dominates the town’s economy, which has a population of only 5,000 people.

Katoria Peterson and her grandfather, Larry Thompson, live across from the plant, told WTXL they’d never seen anything like this before.

Peterson told the station, “It was a loud boom, and then you see the flames. It was about five to ten minutes of burning. And then the ambulance and everybody left, but it burned for a few minutes.

THE PEOPLE HAVE SHUT DOWN BIOLAB!

After causing several disasters which poisoned at least tens of thousands of people in Black and working-class communities, igniting an unprecedented, grassroots movement involving people of all backgrounds, BioLab has announced that they will not be restarting their chemical production at the Rockdale County site.

As long as corporations have total, unchecked control over our natural resources, they will always prioritize their profits over the communities they operate in.

Only an organized force of working class communities can fight back.

That’s why we’re not stopping here. We need to keep organizing, keep building the movement, and keep bringing in more people to fight back against the corporate greed that is destroying our planet.

When we organize, and when we fight, we’re laying the groundwork to build a new system that puts the people and the planet over profit.

Here to fight, here to stay: The Red Scar Mill strike
This year marks the 60th anniversary of Britain’s first migrant-led strike: an inspiring yet relatively forgotten – but all the more inspiring – three-week event that took place at the Preston Courtauld’s Red Scar Mill in the North West of England. The Lancashire Evening Post expressed the sentiments of the ruling class at the time: “The news of the strike has travelled around the world…Preston has become infamous as the centre of futile struggle, which could inflame feelings where whites and coloured coincide.” Without precedent, the migrant workers independently and determinedly fought back against the attacks on their wages and conditions by factory owners Courtaulds – one of the four major monopolies in man-made fibre in Europe. In attempting to organise themselves, the migrant-worker strikers faced racism not only from the bosses, but also from within the union itself.

“We are preparing for a scenario of greater crisis and class struggle”: Interview with a Revolutionary Socialist in Bolivia
In the world division of labor, there are no transnational “partners” or “good” imperialists, as many progressive governments claim. But the means of pressure applied to dependent countries, such as Bolivia, change according to the political turns in Washington. Trump made it clear in 2019 that his administration had no problem openly supporting military coups to ensure control over Bolivia’s resources; according to reports in The Intercept, the administration was willing to carry out a second coup in 2020 to avoid the transition to the Arce government after the October elections. This means that the next years will be marked by a growing regional tension between the United States, which seeks to retake control over what it considers its “backyard,” and the Latin American region, which is being jolted by interesting processes of mobilization and resistance.

Germany’s New Chancellor Is a Man Without Qualities
There is a telling rumor in Berlin political circles. Upon his appointment as leader of Germany’s Christian Democrats (CDU) in 2022, Friedrich Merz was gifted a copy of Il Gattopardo (The Leopard) by his conservative colleague Wolfgang Schäuble, the veteran former finance minister and then president of the German parliament. A dismayed Merz is said to have handed back the book shortly after, exclaiming: “But this is a novel — what am I supposed to do with this?” The novel in question, narrated by the last aristocratic ruler of a remote island principate in Sicily, revolves around the old social order’s attempt to contend with the threat of rapid political change, encapsulated by its most famous phrase: “If we want things to remain as they are, things will have to change.” On the surface, this isn’t too dissimilar from the situation in which Merz finds himself. The new German chancellor, sworn in on Tuesday after a shaky confirmation vote in parliament, was once dubbed “the prince of neoliberalism” and is very much an unreconstructed representative of a system whose time has come.

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.

>They look down on student activists but they welcome failed non-working adults because of "worldliness".
You've said this in multiple threads and people have pointed out that this is a made-up thing that only exists in your head, but goshdarnit don't let that stop you from believing it.

You have to be sheltered as fuck to think this. They actively look for stupidity and sociopathy when hiring cops.

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.

Sure. But conservatards need to stop constantly shitting on lumpens as well. They are people too who are also vulnerable to false consciousness.

New Israeli military orders say freeing captives held in Gaza is ‘least important’ priority
The plan further aims to confine the whole of the Gaza Strip’s population to a small area of the south, with Israeli media reports stating humanitarian aid will only be distributed once a week, fuelling serious concerns that Palestinians will only be given enough food so they don't starve to death. https://www.newarab.com/news/new-israeli-military-orders-deprioritise-freeing-gaza-captives

GOP centrists revolt against steep cuts to Medicaid and other programs in Trump’s tax breaks bill
So far, GOP leaders have signaled they are walking away from some, but not all, of the steep Medicaid cuts. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office has said the proposals could result in millions of people losing their coverage. 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.

Student protester Mohsen Mahdawi unveils legal defence fund for immigrants
Though released on bail, Mahdawi continues to face deportation proceedings. He reflected on his time behind bars at a news conference where he and state officials announced the Vermont Immigration Legal Defense Fund. “ I was unjustly kidnapped or detained, if you want to go by the legal term,” Mahdawi said with a wry smile.

Sen. John Fetterman raises alarms with outburst at meeting with union officials, AP sources say
Democratic Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania was meeting last week with representatives from a teachers union in his home state when things quickly devolved. Before long, Fetterman began repeating himself, shouting and questioning why “everybody is mad at me,” “why does everyone hate me, what did I ever do” and slamming his hands on a desk, according to one person who was briefed on what occurred. As the meeting deteriorated, a staff member moved to end it and ushered the visitors into the hallway, where she broke down crying.

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.
