ERIC SCHECHTER—Politicians of the USA have railed against communism for over a century, without really clear arguments. Politicians promise to protect us from communism the boogeyman. Consequently, most citizens of the USA hate communism, with no idea what it actually is. And socialism is perceived as a watered-down version of communism.

LARRY JOHNSON—(Quote) World War III will start very soon if the information about Kyiv’s plans to carry out a false-flag operation in Romania and Poland is confirmed.

According to the available information, the plan is to repair several downed Russian UAVs, send them — disguised as ‘Russian drones’ — to NATO hubs in Poland and Romania, conduct a disinformation campaign in Europe with the intent to blame everything on Moscow and thereby trigger an armed conflict between Russia and NATO.” (c) Russian MFA

On Kyiv’s plans to carry out a false-flag operation in Romania and Poland

IGL—Joti Bra’s emphasis on the failure of much of the international communist movement to maintain ideological clarity speaks to a broader crisis of Marxism in the post-Soviet era. Without rigorous theoretical grounding, many left organizations have either become ineffective or co-opted into bourgeois narratives, weakening their capacity to mobilize the working class.

The Labour Party’s trajectory under Corbyn, initially promising but ultimately capitulating to imperialist and Zionist pressures, exemplifies the limitations of reformist approaches and the necessity for revolutionary organization rooted in class struggle.
