"#Labour have lost half of their voters since the 2024 general election, and the #Tories and #LibDems have lost over a third each."

"Starmer clearly bears responsibility for this, because he’s the man at the top. At the same time, Starmer didn’t introduce dishwater #neoliberalism to the Labour Party; he simply ran with it."

"We now have five parties within 10 percentage points of one another:"

Starmer has lost half of Labour's 2024 voters

In the New Labour years it took 3 elections and an illegal war for Labour to squander its lead-even then they lost fewer voters than Starmer

When fascists run out or in hiding the state will have to rely on immigrants to do the work of its paramilitary tasks.

MMT v neoliberalism: there is only one winner

We are heading into an economic crisis on a scale comparable to the aftermath of a World War. Supply chains are fracturing. Energy costs are rising. Shortages of fuel, food, and raw materials are already visible. And the economic framework that has governed the West for the last 45 years...

The following attempts to situate José Antonio Kast’s victory within the long trajectory of Chile’s violent neoliberalisation

Was talking to a friend about this and we agreed that something like this, a pretty violent ousting of the ruling class and rebuilding a much fairer society, is exactly what Belgium could use, too. Maybe the entire west can use such cleansing imho.

There’s a wave of attacks on the ruling class

People have reached a breaking point. American consumer sentiment is terrible, registering at the lowest level ever recorded this week. Gas prices just jumped more in March than they have in any month since 1967. The Iran War was historically unpopular from the beginning, and now the massive economic ripple

New Means
At its most general level, Lenin’s emphasis on the direct linkage between imperialism and capitalism is undeniable, now more than ever. At the time of Lenin, much of the world was still operating within pre-capitalist formations. Today almost every part of the world is dominated by capitalist systems. Capitalism, contrary to Lenin’s expectations, however, continues to expand extensively and intensively. So does imperialism, which, despite claims by theorists like Hardt and Negri,2 is far from dead and continues its vigorous and aggressive global dominance, though—as will be discussed below—in much different forms and with different structures https://newpol.org/issue_post/neoliberal-imperialism-latest-stage-capitalism/ #neoliberalism #russia #india #china #DPRK #iran #syria #lebanon #venezuela #nigeria #chad #somalia #iraq #pakistan #Afghanistan
Neoliberal Imperialism, The Latest Stage of Capitalism - New Politics

One hundred years ago, in exile in Zurich during the spring of 1916, Lenin started writing one of his most important and influential works, his pamphlet on imperialism. What is the relevance of this work today?

Private firms providing services to NHS made £1.6bn profit in two years, research finds | NHS | The Guardian
https://www.theguardian.com/society/2026/apr/13/private-companies-nhs-services-profit-chpi-research

"The £1.6bn in profits made in 2023-24 and 2024-25 would have been enough to pay for 9,178 doctors or 19,428 nurses during that time, according to the Centre for Health and the Public Interest."

Then people wonder why the NHS struggles for money. But this was predictable, and no doubt the plan all along.

An interesting take from Richard Murphy: “The United States did not start peace negotiations with Iran because diplomacy prevailed. It did so because it had no choice. It is running out of weapons.”

The United States did not start peace negotiations with Iran because diplomacy prevailed. It did so because it had no choice. It is running out of weapons. In the course of a few weeks, the US military has used somewhere between eight and ten years' worth of Tomahawk missile production. The...

Funding the Future

Once again austerity politics are viewed as the best method to weather off the storm that the attack on Iran has initiated especially regarding the dwindling availability of core ressources.

Once again they preach market doctrine before saving people from having to experience poverty, famine and general misery. Never touch the fantasma of market logics even though people suffer immensely from inflation and scarcity of basic goods.

All this will play out in the next months especially as winter sets in - they don't want to accept that we live under war conditions and take necessary measures to secure the well-being of all people

Stating that the US and Israel brought us into this mess would risk that their allegiance to the aggressors would be exposed in its irrationality.
