The mid-1930s witnessed a truly national anti-fascist mass movement, far beyond East London, as confrontations with the BUF took place in city after city in these pivotal years.

Author Benjamin Moser on Israel's election: "There were also elections in apartheid South Africa, there were elections in French Algeria, there were even elections in the Confederate States of America... We're talking about really who's going to run the concentration camps."

La derrota es de Bolsonaro, Trump y Milei. El triunfo de Lula es del pueblo: 2.7 millones de personas que fueron a votar esta vez, muestran que comprendieron el riesgo de un triunfo de Bolsonaro y que la decepción que los llevó a no ir en primera vuelta no puede ser ignorada. La remontada histórica que le dió a Lula una diferencia de 4.4 millones de votos se hizo con el pueblo en la calle.
Así habrá que enfrentar a la derecha que ya tiene las bancas y los gobiernos estaduales. Y así el pueblo trabajador va a exigir que se echen atrás las reformas laborales y previsional de Temer y Bolsonaro y se termine con los bajos salarios, el endeudamiento familiar y todos los sufrimientos populares. Hermosa paliza el mismo día que triunfa en Serbia el partido de los Estudiantes y luego de otra movilización sin precedentes en Francia.

Manchester Saturday: Zionism is the ideological belief that Israel should have a homeland by ethnically cleansing Palestinians from Palestine. They stole a whole country in 1948, violently and brutally stole 79% of the land to create Israel, then in the decades since occupied and forced out as many Palestinians as they could from the last part of the land remaining in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. Zionism is what zionism does.
Ask yourself one question. What does Zionism mean to the Palestinians living in Palestine? The answer is the last episode of Zionism - the abominable genocide in Gaza, destroying 90% of the houses and schools, bombing all 36 hospitals in Gaza, murdering over 1000 medics, and killing over 20,000 children, with many more tens of thousands left under the rubble. Zionism can only be described as what it is in practice - Israel's ethnic cleansing and genocide of the Palestinian people and shame on all those here in Britain who turn their backs on the Palestinians and pretend it was ever anything else.

The govt (Lucy Powell) is talking about Holocaust Education in schools. I've written four books for children/young people on this and made a video with photos, maps and documents. I'll be interested to see if the official Holocaust Education bodies carry on ignoring these.

✊🏽 Cable Street is more than a history lesson
The tactic of physically confronting fascists stopped Oswald Mosley and his British Union of Fascists – and it can again.
Sophia Beach describes how Cable Street inspired her to confront today's far right.

🔴 PARIS | UNE FOULE IMMENSE pour le #17octobre
Le 17 octobre a bien eu lieu et il est joyeux et massif, contre l’austérité et les violences policières. Un goût de début de la « fin de l’époque contemporaine » pour Macron et Nuñez.

This is so powerful.
Labour are still arming a genocide.
We'll take no moral lectures from them when we're a party that are pushing for equal human rights for all.
