People's Union USA, with founder John Schwarz, is initiating a nationwide boycott against Walmart that starts today.

"Schwarz has cited federal income tax opposition, equality issues, high prices, and a bid to help smaller local businesses as factors behind the blackout."

What does Keir Starmer stand for? It's been five years since Keir Starmer replaced Jeremy Corbyn as leader of the Labour party.

Despite winning a landslide victory in the 2024 general election, many are still uncertain what the prime minister represents, whilst assessments of his time as Labour leader have become more negative.

Today In Labor History April 7, 1870: German-Jewish anarchist and pacifist, Gustav Landauer, was born. He was friends with, and influenced, the Jewish philosopher Martin Buber. He served as the Commissioner of Enlightenment and Public Instruction during the short-lived Bavarian Soviet Republic, during the German Revolution of 1918–1919, but was killed when the republic was overthrown. He was also the grandfather of film director, Mike Nichols (The Odd Couple, Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf and The Graduate).

The information war against the USSR was waged throughout its entire existence and continues to be waged after its collapse. What myths were and are being spread about the USSR? Who, why, and at whose expense is conducting bourgeois propaganda? #socialism #communism #capitalism #marxism #leninism #marxismleninism youtube.com/live/XP1FzU34GIE

Marx explained this in The Communist Manifesto: "Communism deprives no man of the power to appropriate the products of society; all that it does is to deprive him of the power to subjugate the labour of others by means of such appropriations."

I found this video/lecture excellent. Years and years ago I read The Communist Manifesto and sorta understood it. But this is a great orientation to what it actually was and is within its historical context and why it keeps coming back every so often as a popular read. I'm curious, is it becoming (or has it already) become popular once again?

Trump has openly and repeatedly declared his intent to carry out the ethnic cleansing of Gaza, driving the population from their homes to make room for a luxury real estate development that would be owned by the U.S. Netanyahu supports this plan, which is in line with the long-term goal at the foundation of the Israeli regime: remove Palestinians from their homeland to make way for colonial settlers. #Palestine #Israel #genocide #socialism #capitalism #imperialism liberationnews.org/let-gaza-li
