Continued thread

Another statement by #Varoufakis that I agree with and really makes me sad from the movie is this:

#lgbtqia issues and #racism got used by #us #democraticparty as a substitute for addressing bigger inequalities.

It allowed them to go along with #neoliberalism, help their donors, and abandon the #workingclass which Trump then caught.

It was a hack instead of a structural fix, and that’s why it collapsed. Everyone might become worse off as result!

The real problem is fake #left #politics 😑

#Trains enabled the emergence of mass production, being the necessary govt subsidy for the big, remote factories to make sense. They were foundational to the emergence of #capitalism. There's a reason the construction of the railway is the topic of every single #western movie and is never portrayed favorably.

Railway is a uniformed service. Highly hierarchical, centralized and beloved by every single authoritarian state from the past. Have been used by authoritarian propaganda for as long as it existed.

Why are people on the #left now preaching it so much? Plus, why are trains the special interest of so many people?

The Green Party is definitely looking to encourage Labour voters into their fold.... the strategy is pretty clearly exhibited in their latest press release on the first year of the Labour Govt.

After discussions here, for many people they are looking like a viable alternate left vote, and unsurprisingly the Greens are going to make the most of that.... and why wouldn't they?

Green Party · One year on: Labour ‘haemorrhaging’ support to the Greens over Gaza and welfare cuts - Green PartyLabour is ‘haemorrhaging’ support to the Greens over its failure to oppose the Israeli government’s genocide in Gaza and its plans to slash support for disabled people.  

We were at The Left's conference in Warsaw to talk about abortion in Poland and the first abortion center Abotak. Thank you for the invitation! Abortion is not only a bodily autonomy issue, it's also about economics, capitalism and power. We hope to see the brave politicians in Poland, who really supports full decriminalization of abortion, if not the left parties, then who?

Byłyśmy na konferencji The Left - lewicowej frakcji w Europarlamencie. Natalia mówiła o sytuacji aborcyjnej w Polsce, pierwszej przychodni aborcyjnej Abotak i o tym, że aborcja to nie tylko kwestia autonomii cielesnej, ale również ekonomii, kapitalizmu i władzy. Bardzo chciałybyśmy mieć w kraju odważne polityczki i polityków, którzy naprawdę wpierają pełną dekryminalizację aborcji, bo jeśli nie lewica, to kto?

[repost The Left EU] What does an illegal abortion clinic look like?

In Warsaw, just steps from the Polish Parliament, stands the country’s first abortion clinic. A colourful place of care, resistance, and solidarity. Run by courageous feminist activists, it offers what the state refuses: access to safe, self-managed abortions.

A delegation from The Left visited the clinic and brought abortion pills in solidarity, but it is not enough. The need is relentless, and the supply cannot keep up.

This is not freedom. This is not democracy. It’s a systematic violation of human rights.

We want safe and accessible abortions — for everyone, everywhere.

"Jeremy Corbyn confirms talks about forming new party with Zarah Sultana. Corbyn says ‘discussions are ongoing’ after MP’s surprise announcement"

Will the left in the #US ever try to do the same, vital for a democracy thing? Or will it always accept someone like #JoeBiden as their leader?
