By Sam Hamad People are rioting in Paris because no one can afford anything. It’s a generation of people locked out of functional life (relatively speaking). And it’s getting worse and worse and worse. The entire point about liberal democracy and late modernity is that it had to adapt in many ways they could not […]
By Indybag Fascists are in Government in Germany. Allow that to sink in. Fascists are rallying in the UK- their conferences are attracting big business. Fascists are sporadically rampaging through our city streets. The left need to help fight back. Socialism is LESS likely- and will be a very dangerous outlook to have – in […]
​They’re draining our oil- the next capitalist goal is to crush Scottish Independence for our water… Would you support giving nature legal rights to fight back against data centres in court?

Racist scumbags rioting, burning homes & wrecking their own communities (Not the brightest. Obviously.) For most of this year I’ve been […]
By Amy McIntyre We know our history. The Irish were blamed for problems they didn’t cause. They fled “famine”, occupation, persecution & poverty, only to face signs reading: “No Blacks. No Dogs. No Irish.” Don’t repeat that. The ruling class always need a scapegoat. Yesterday it was the Irish, Catholics, Mods, Pakistanis, single mothers, “benefit […]
