This week, discontent over new #IMF austerity measures in #Kenya burst into mass movements. This generation will not take this lying down. As one placard put it "IMF, we are not our parents. We will fuck you up." After police murder of a protester, a general strike was called for june 25, but already the trade union leadership is bending to the capitalists.https://www.marxist.com/kenya-welcome-to-the-gen-z-revolution.htm#RejectFinanceBill2024 #revolution #communism #generalstrike

@Radical_EgoComIn large part, the rise of religious fundamentalism is due to the absence of a viable left alternative. Russia had a similar problem with rampant antisemitism which was promoted by the Tsarist state to distract from the class struggle, prior to the Russian revolution https://www.marxist.com/religious-fundamentalism-why-is-it-growing-and-what-is-the-alternative.htm

A mass movement is breaking out in Kenya with protesters occupying Parliament. No parliamentary reforms will solve the debt trap that the #IMF has put #Kenya into. The masses need to organize workers councils to organize the general strike and call to take power. This is unlikely to happen without a preexisting revolutionary leadership. As #Lenin said, "without revolutionary leadership there can be no revolutionary movement"https://www.youtube.com/live/tS6-7WcYwk0#RejectFinanceBill2024 #nairobi #communism

@Radical_EgoCom @matzeschmidt to clarify, the role of a revolutionary leadership is not to "tell the masses what to do", as people who slander the Bolsheviks like to say, but to show what is possible, and win them over to revolution. A revolutionary party thus serves as the living memory of the working class.

The Kenyan revolution has only just begun, drawing many parallels with the revolution in Sri Lanka two years ago. The only way forward is for the Kenyan working class to take power into their own hands.#RejectFinanceBill2024!Down with #Ruto and the whole corrupt establishment!Victory to the Kenyan #Revolution!For a #socialist republic of #Kenya!https://www.marxist.com/the-kenyan-revolution-has-begun.htm

@tadbithuman the point is that no revolutionary party existed at the time in Sri Lanka, so the Bourgeois government was reestablished, in a different form. There are many lessons to be learned from this:https://www.marxist.com/sri-lanka.htm

#Russia has now stated publicly that it no longer considers itself to be in a state of peace with the United States.The hard fact of the matter is that the war in #Ukraine is now lost, support for the Ukrainian cause is collapsing, and US #imperialism is more isolated in the world than ever. Yet warmongers in London and Washington can't help but provoke a serious escalation of the conflict, while systematically sabotaging every attempt at a peace deal.http://www.marxist.com/ukraine-america-is-playing-with-fire.htm

@crapaud as communists we neither support Putin's nor Zelensky's regime. The Ukraine war is an imperialist proxy war, and the working class is on the losing side either way.

#RainbowCapitalism or class struggle? Today marks the day that protesters at the #Stonewall Inn bravely faced off against the police, thus igniting the gay liberation movement. Yet the struggle for #LGBTQ liberation continues to this day. This tradition of fearless class struggle is what we should be looking back to, not the rainbows that corporations try to hide behind. https://socialistrevolution.org/rainbow-capitalism-or-socialist-revolution-which-way-forward-for-lgbtq-rights/#pride2024 #pride

Will #France's New Popular Front (NFP) win a majority against the far right? It's unlikely given that the #NFP does not present a sufficiently radical left alternative. Should the NFP win, it will only serve to expose the limits of reformism.http://www.marxist.com/french-elections-beat-the-right-prepare-for-class-war.htmhttps://www.marxiste.org/actualite-francaise/politique-francaise/3459-une-analyse-marxiste-de-la-crise-politique#PCR #Revolution #RN #lepen #melanchon #macron #nouveaufrontpopulaire

"The failed #coup in #Bolivia on 26 June is a warning of the instability to come. It is necessary to remain vigilant. The experience of 1973 in Chile shows that such failed coups can be mere rehearsals for a more serious attempt in the future. And the army in Bolivia continues to play the same role it played in the 1970s here and in the rest of Latin America."#GeneralZuniga #TentativaDeGolpe #LuisArce #JuanJoséZúñiga #imperialismhttps://www.marxist.com/what-happened-in-bolivia-on-26-june.htm

Every communist has a role to play in their school or workplace. Unionized communists must find every way to push their union leadership further, and unorganized communists must find other communists around which to unionize their schools or workplace. A #union may form organically but it takes communist ideas and conviction to revive the #militant traditions of the #labor movement.https://youtu.be/NQLVlCwGD-4#classwar #communism #organize #strike #unionization

"Communists naturally oppose Donald Trump. But it is clear that any outcome from an attempt to assassinate him results in a thoroughly reactionary development—one that does nothing to clarify the class division that runs through society, including through the camp of Trumpism itself."#trump #TrumpShooting #classwar2024 #assassination #classwarhttps://socialistrevolution.org/trump-assassination-attempt/

@Radical_EgoCom we have comrades in Bangladesh, but unfortunately much too few to lead a revolution. It is however never too late to build such a party, and a revolutionary situation can be a powerful impetus for rapidly building one
