Drawing conspicuously from the pseudo-legal playbook of the Nazis, the capitalist oligarchy has set in motion an operation aimed at nothing less than the imposition of a police state in the US. wsws.org/en/articles/20…

For the ruling class, Bogdan’s arrest is a component of its reckless militarism and repression of growing opposition. For workers, freeing Bogdan is an essential part of the fight to defend democratic rights and oppose imperialist war and fascism. wsws.org/en/articles/20…

"We call on Hitler to immediately improve the humanitarian situation at Treblinka." "While we affirm Germany's right to defend itself, we call for a permanent ceasefire." That wouldn't have stopped a genocide in 1943 and won't in 2025 either. wsws.org/en/articles/20…
Epstein wasn't an "illegitimate" rich guy distinct from the "legitimate" rich guys. He was one of them. His methods were theirs. His tastes and views were theirs. He was an exploiter comfortable among exploiters. He was an expression of his class. wsws.org/en/articles/20…
Notable in retrospect that the whole manufactured #MeToo operation of the Democratic Party and NYT steered a wide circle around Epstein. Similar to how all the supposed "anti-racism" of the #1619Project was tucked away when it was time to support exterminating the Palestinians.
Edward Hopper (1882)-“It would…be hard to say anything convincing about Hopper without stressing ‘the loneliness thing.’ His paintings are so conspicuously about the vacuity, sadness, futility, emptiness and, yes, experience of alienation on the fringes of ‘the American dream.’”
The Israeli state is a criminal enterprise—this is increasingly how it is seen by workers and youth around the world. The genocide is the culmination of Zionism’s logic: a “final solution to the Palestinian problem” - Stop the escalating genocide in Gaza! wsws.org/en/articles/20…
wsws.org/en/articles/20… The Epstein scandal is characteristic of every corrupt ruling class as it heads toward the abyss. As Marx wrote of the financial parasites on the eve of the 1848 Revolution: "Clashing at every moment with the bourgeois laws themselves, an unbridled…
The Romanovs had their share of scandals in the years before 1917. But the Romanovs seem downright tame compared to the truly fiendish depravity of the American ruling elite in their final years. And we probably still only know about 1% of it! wsws.org/en/articles/20…
Mamdani met with corporate CEOs today, to assure them he would pose no threat to their interests if mayor of NYC. His new spokesman, top DNC official Jeffrey Lerner, said Mamdani was looking forward to a "partnership" with the CEOs. This is the politics of the @DemSocialists.
Isaac Babel (1894)-Soviet writer, murdered by the Stalinists in 1940. ‘Red Army Cavalry,’ ‘Odessa Tales,’ ‘Maria.’ Voronsky: “For Babel the given is sacred. He celebrates reality, life, the elementary human urges, passions, and lusts...a heathen, a materialist, and an atheist.”

This may upset some folks, but it is the truth. It’s not a good sign that Mamdani hired a top DNC operative to his campaign. The goal is not to get the establishment to like you. The goal is to defeat the establishment because it is corrupt & puts corporate greed over human need.
wsws.org/en/articles/20… The catastrophe along the Guadalupe River is the product of decades of social decay and political reaction. The deaths of nearly 300 people—many of them young girls—are the result. President Trump and Governor Abbott, have blood on their hands.
And you told people to vote for Genocide Joe, even praised his presidency as the most progressive since FDR. This is not Netanyahu's war, this is a US-backed genocide. It has been prepared politically, military and economically with bipartisan support, including yours.
