2026: THE GREAT CONFLUENCE. THE CHALLENGES FOR CAPITALISM BECOME INSURMOUNTABLE.

WHY ANTI-SEMITISM MUST NOT BE CONFUSED WITH ANTI-ZIONISM.

This article was written to join the debate on the Green Party’s resolution which equated Zionism with Racism. This resolution has unleashed worldwide condemnation by the Zionists and their Imperialist backers who are attempting to do a Jeremy Corbyn on Zack Polanski which is to discredit him by turning this anti-racist into a racist anti-Semite. It won’t work, the world has changed, the Zionists and their backers have lost the battle for the hearts and minds of populations all over the world due to the Genocide in Gaza. The times have indeed changed.

TAKING STOCK OF THE WORLD BEFORE THE TRUMP XI SUMMIT IN WASHINGTON.

I wrote this article before XI was met at the airport by Trump. A US President meeting a visiting leader at the airport is as rare as Trump failing to tell a lie.

How PD has enabled the ruling class to survive two world wars and innumerable other wars, two depressions and innumerable recessions, the Russian Revolution, the General Strike and the loss of Empire. Finally, it is worth mentioning the role of propaganda. After the General Strike in 1926 the government recognised the need for a state broadcaster – BBC – to be used artistically and creatively to convey the ruling ideas of the ruling class into the living room of every house.
