No 1499 12th October 2016
Trump degenerate but Hillary Clinton as bad, ready to continue endless blitzing, torture and starvation imposed on the Middle East. Syria and Yemen horrors solely imperialist responsibility – desperate to suppress rising world revolt inflamed by its own warmongering action as it squirms to escape the Great Catastrophe of inevitable economic meltdown - wallowing in stagnation and “austerity” viciousness since 2008. Blaming Syria and Russia is Goebbels demonisation of “others”, alongside “immigrants”, “the EU” “Chinese dumping” etc – readying for world war conflict, the only way out capitalism has for its crisis. Syria and Russia not the main target - other capitalist blocs are. Defeat for West backed forces in Syria is welcome but Putin’s crude apeing of the Western “war on terror” in general is part of the problem. Museum Stalinist acrobatic sophistry pretends Moscow oligarchism is “progressive” nationalism so it can capitulate to Western pressure to “condemn terror” and avoid revolutionary conclusions. Leninism vital to rescue world by overthrowing the private profit system

No 1498 27th September 2016
Washington “war-crimes” accusations in the Middle East now glaring Goebbels Lies – Western “accidental” cynical slaughter of soldiers during the ceasefire is the crime with proven perpetrators the UK and US, along with all deliberate and cynical warmongering from 2003 Iraq invasion onwards now destroying Yemen, Syria etc. Capitalism needs war and destruction because production for private profit has reached a historic dead end, exactly as Karl Marx analysed, already stagnating and heading for the greatest Slump collapse in all history and world war. Only planned socialism under the firmest proletarian dictatorship can change things - only conscious Leninist revolution can get there

World capitalism wallows in continuing stagnation, the 2008 Great Catastrophe staved off only with yet more Mickey Mouse QE dollars, like the desperate Bank of England injection after the Brexit vote. But oncoming collapse cannot be stopped; trade war and inter-imperialist tensions intensify (the real cause of the Brexit confusion and indecision in the British ruling class and its humiliation at the G20 in China). Need for class-war revolutionary politics grows rapidly but the fake-“left” pretenders (revisionist and Trotskyist) go the other way, abandoning Marxist postures to back hopeless “left” Corbynite Labourism. Such entryism is double treachery tying the working class back to parliamentary delusions and failing to warn them about the crisis and Allende style counter-revolution. Latin American skulduggery against left-reformist governments from Brazil to Bolivia underlines the crucial need for Leninist revolutionary perspectives but brain-dead revisionism goes the opposite way, suppressing the brilliant and heroic FARC armed struggle in Colombia for “peaceful road” illusions

No 1496 9th August 2016
Petty-bourgeois calls to “Stop Trump” are worse than futile because, not only do they fail provide an answer to capitalism’s revolutionary warmongering crisis that creates the alienating conditions Trump’s reactionary foreigner scapegoating philistine responses feed off, they help to perpetuate the cynicism and small-minded bitterness by insisting on yet more of the “Western democracy” solutions that has generated such contempt in the first place. PC super-reformist responses (feminism, gay rights, etc.) prove useful to fascist reaction for stirring up the divisiveness. Polemics to develop Marxist revolutionary science urgently needed.

No 1495 28th July 2016
Growing world turmoil and “terrorist” outburst is driven by one fundamental cause only, the ever deepening catastrophic failure of the entire capitalist world system, which is dragging the whole world towards deadly Slump, international hatreds and finally World War devastation (already well underway in the Middle East, Ukraine etc). Across the board fake-“left” condemnation of this deepening rebelliousness as “reactionary jihadism” is both treacherous, and a reactionary capitulation to imperialist demonisation and also fails completely to understand or explain the revolutionary significance of these eruptions. This is the stirring response of the great mass on the planet to the epochal collapse of the 800 year old capitalist order and its ever intensifying tyrannical exploitation. Declaring jihadism, Black Lives shootings, and European incidents “unacceptable” is both moralising humbug and petty bourgeois cowardice – lining up with Trump demagogery. “Left” elevation of useless class-collaborating Corbynism, leaves the working class exposed to new Allende dangers.

No 1494 5th July 2016
Shock Brexit vote is a contradictory class-war move against collapsing capitalist Slump impositions. It solves nothing about the crisis and is laden with illusions and chauvinist backwardness, – all prey to fascist and reactionary nationalist influences, needing to be vigorously fought against. But it is also movement from a working class long held back by the supine official TUC and treacherous Blairite class collaboration. Of course “Europe” has done nothing to “protect” workers’ interests but then neither is it the cause of their problems – that is capitalism itself which will dominate lives and push Slump onto their backs inside the EU or outside. Leave means only a different set of bosses call the shots as the profit system’s crisis antagonisms drive towards World War III conflict. Only turning over the entire monopoly capitalist system by revolutionary struggle can change things. All the fake-“left”s fail to put any such perspective exposing their cravenness and failure. A revolutionary party to rebuild and provide Leninist theory and leadership vital

No 1493 15th June 2016
Referendum exposes ruling class splits, and confusion over future prospects for the moribund British economy, their vicious accusations of “lies and distortions” giving new lessons in the cynical truth of bourgeois “democracy”. Decades of growing disillusion now becomes universal contempt as the working class abandons all old parliamentary lies and class collaboration. Good that a great debate about crisis collapse of the capitalist system can begin – bad the vacuum is filled temporarily with UKIP chauvinism and Boris demagoguery like the reactionary Trumpism in the US. But the answer to stirred up nationalism, anti-immigration and “war on terror” hatreds is not high-handed Politically Correct moralising at a fearful working class – it is the fight for a revolutionary perspective explaining the unstoppable nature of crisis inside or out of the EU. Only total overturn of the entire capitalist system can now change anything as the crisis slides into the greatest Slump ever. Revolutionary science and the Leninist party must be built

Without “democracy” delusions still fostered by fake-“lefts”, Trot and Stalinist alike across the board, the working class could easily see off CIA coordinated street provocations, judicial coups and economic sabotage across Latin America. But Allende lessons of the Chilean counter revolution remain unheeded by dull-brained revisionism and posturing anti-communist Trotskyism alike. The same with the EU referendum where only the overriding perspective of capitalist catastrophe and need for revolution can make any sense. 'In' and 'out' arguments are hopeless diversions and misleadership, feeding more “democracy” humbug when the working class needs Marxist-Leninist grasp of the fight to end capitalism and establish a dictatorship of the proletariat. “Old Labour” reformism, single issue “anti-racist” moralising and sectarian refusal to take up the revolutionary debate just benefits the rising demagogues like Trump and Duterte, promising to “tear up the old politics”. They are establishment liars but fill a vacuum which needs Leninism.

Foul “anti-Semitism” accusations against rising left discontent are a further black mark for the Jewish religious freemasonry’s de facto Zionism (meaning all support for the “right to exist” of the “Israeli State” land-theft occupation of Palestine). Bullying suppression of questions about the war-crime terror origins of this racist colonial seizure of the someone else’s country is part of escalating fascist censorship of all revolutionary (“extremist”) stirrings against the non-stop imperialist blitzkrieging and drone terrorising of the planet, to keep it in thrall to Slump-ridden private profit despite its catastrophic failure and bankruptcy. Denying “anti-semitism” is like denying “have you stopped beating your wife” innuendos; a pointless grovel. Corbynista purge capitulation to this outrageous lie underlines the class-collaborating treachery of all Labourism. But “anti-Zionism” of the fake-“left” equally avoids the central question of ending this vile Zionist intrusion, offering hopeless “democracy” confusion and reforms with continued denial and “condemning” of jihadist revolt - one precursor to world revolution Find issue here
No 1490 16th April 2016
Tory EU splits, scandal, sleaze, and incompetence signal ruling class desperation as world capitalist crisis returns to total catastrophe and wipeout by capitalist rivals. Far more to come than NHS meltdown, welfare cuts and school collapses once fantasy QE credit works through and hurricane of global cutthroat trade war returns. Capitalist crisis intractable and unsolvable, headed for world war. Only ending outmoded and increasingly destructive private profit can change anything. All “Stop war” and “End austerity” protest is a useless deadly diversion UNLESS given a central perspective to overturn capitalism and establish the dictatorship of the proletariat to build planned socialism. Labour movement and fake-“left” remain opportunist and sectarian, tied to treacherous illusions in “democracy”, Little Englander trade tariff chauvinism and anti-communism. Condemn “terror” capitulation feeds ruling class warmongering; capitalism is the problem and Third World upheaval the start of revolt against it. Great debate needed to sort out past criminal revisionist mistakes. Revolutionary science needed

No 1489 5th April 2016
Yet more “condemning” of “terror” after Brussels and Lahore confirms the swamp fake-“left” craven capitulation to imperialism and its crisis-driven scapegoating and war demonisation. The rise of Third World hatred from centuries of exploitation, decades of barbaric Western war destruction and the intensifying world economic catastrophe, is unstoppable. These crude and barbaric early forms of anti-imperialist revolution are spreading ever further and shaking capitalism to the core. Far from “strengthening its repression”, it raises new questions about its worldwide tyranny. Breaks in fake-“left” pretend Marxism correctly challenge the “reactionary” or “CIA plot” labels used to denounce the jihadist movements. But they still refuse to examine the anti-communist mistakes of the past and open up the debate for the rebuilding of Leninist understanding. Full Marxist revolutionary grasp is the way to overcome primitivism by offering better leadership for the fight to end slump ridden capitalism and its war “solution” to crisis

No 1488 14th March 2016
Syrian ceasefire a defeat for Western skulduggery but Putin’s “anti-terror” rhetoric just muddies the water for world working class. War and destruction comes from the capitalism and its catastrophic collapse due imminently as 2008 crisis re-emerges, not “evil jihadism”. Destroying every last ISIS fighter will solve nothing. Russian bombing had an effect only because it hit stooge forces trained by the West to topple Assad not “terrorists” in general. ISIS is part of a great wave of Third World revolt against imperialism, confused, sectarian and fanatically suicidal as it is. Condemning this and bombing it simply feeds imperialism’s kill-them-all frenzy being whipped up to stampede the world into World War Three destruction, the “way out” for the bankrupt private profit system. Putin’s oligarchs and Assad stand in the way of the revolutionary understanding that is vital for the working class to take power and establish the dictatorship of the proletariat. Nothing else will stop the turn to open fascism increasingly obvious from Trumpism and British generals’ coup threats despite fake-“left” complacency. Leninism needed now

No 1487 23rd February 2016
Economic catastrophe gathers pace exactly as only Leninism has warned the working class. Smoke-and-mirrors QE collapse is unstoppable reality of Slump disaster 100 times worse than the Great Depression, not imposed for “ideological reasons” nor preventable by “anti-austerity” as the fake-“left” declares. Crash is built into production for private profit. Only complete overturn of all capitalism by all out class war can change things, establishing the dictatorship of the proletariat to build rational socialism. Just when ordinary minds begin to shake off decades of anti-communist brainwashing the fake-“left” retreats even more from building a disciplined but open polemic revolutionary party, dissolving into “left” Labourism and joining “anti-jihadism” demonisation. Corbyn and Sanders are hopeless new Allendes vulnerable to the capitalist counter-revolution as was fake-“left” lauded Chavism in South America. Capitalism turns to a new Hitlerism “Trump-eted” against scapegoats, preparing WW3 with meaningless “war on terror”. Confused jihadism is early sign of world revolution not “a new evil”

Hysterical kill-them-all Nazi tone in the US presidential race reflects the fearful panic and belligerence of a world ruling class becoming increasingly desperate. Capitalism needs to pump up hate atmosphere, preparing for further world war blitzing as its desperate QE credit creation falters and the collapse of 2008 can no longer be put off any further. The world economy now teeters on the edge of far worse catastrophe than ever, with profits and commodity prices plunging. Destroying “surplus” capital is the only way out for this degenerate system but getting back into war is even harder after Iraq and Afghanistan defeats. Deliberately fomented migrant chaos, racist hatred and demands for trade war tariffs, are all part of capitalist hate stirring to stampede popular war fever along with “condemnation” of world revolt as “terrorism”. Fake-“left” liquidation into Corbynism and its pacifist, moralising and single issue PCism capitulates to the war drive. Class war and defeats for imperialism are needed, and revolutionary perspectives fought for now

New lurches in global finance signal imminent return of capitalism’s crisis catastrophe ten times worse than 2008. Fake -“left” increasingly stranded and exposed by its failure to warn of meltdown and give workers the only possible answer, the urgent building of revolutionary understanding and leadership. Instead they feed more illusions in “left pressure” and “democratic paths” riding the back of reformism Corbynism and impossible “anti-austerity” populism. Lalkar Stalinism shows its duplicity over Venezuela electoral coup failure covering up past eulogies for philistine “21st century socialism” and continuing capitulation to imperialist “war an terror” hysteria and Nazi kill-them-all frenzy. Defeat for imperialist warring and its skulduggery is vital, the struggle to build Leninist party and science crucial

Demented Trump Nazi-speak for the US election underlines the disastrous weakness of the imperialist order as crisis collapse deepens further. Fascist hysteria the last resort of desperate ruling class, facing rising world revolt and sensing its economic and political order is doomed. But fake-“left” capitulation to the “war on terror” propaganda hurricane with moralising “condemnation” of Islamic revolt plays into the hands of this chauvinist hatred leaving the working class confused and vulnerable to the stampeding war frenzy that imperialism is whipping up to escape its epochal breakdown. “No to war” pacifism over Syria is totally useless posturing by a fake-“left” which cannot see the revolutionary movement emerging everywhere as crisis deepens. Taking sides with the erratic and unstable Ba’athist Assad regime, and Great Russian oligarch Bonapartist macho bombing is just as bad. Leninist perspective of imperialist defeat is vital

No 1483 15th December 2015
Fake-“left” grovelling to capitalist anti-terror demonisation is a treacherous betrayal of basic Marxism and makes a mockery of anti-war posturing. Capitalist crisis ALONE is the source and cause of all mayhem, responsible for all destruction including desperate suicidal ruthlessness of the Third World fightback. Declaring jihadism “reactionary” and a “problem” to be solved, lines up the “lefts” with the warmongers, and the near-demented fascist nonsense now emerging from Trump and Tory bluster, while denying the revolutionary significance of worldwide upheaval. Only defeat for imperialist warmongering can open up chances for Leninist revolutionary understanding, vital to lead the working class overthrow of imperialism, the only answer to its slide into Slump and war. Passive acceptance of stitched-up “electoral” coup in Venezuela further exposes the dull-witted opportunism of the “left” still in thrall to the pretence of “democracy”. Equally “Stop Le Pen” votes for Sarkozy

The hate campaign stampeding the public behind Syrian bombing after Paris ISIS attack is the most cynical crocodile-tears lie yet by a ruling class hell-bent on war at any cost. “Kill them all” frenzy not about stopping terror - it will INCREASE Third World hatred and insurgency recruitment – but everything to do with global catastrophic failure of capitalism and its need to keep war destruction on the boil, the only “solution” to its Slump crisis. Mystical demonisation of jihadists as “devils” or “psychotics” deliberately obscures the real causes – rising Third World hatred and frustration at the endless tyranny, slavery and destruction imposed on it and diverts attention from capitalist atrocities past and present, far worse than anything ISIS has done. Fake-“left” across-the-board “condemnation” is ignorant, unMarxist capitulation to imperialist pressure which undermines “No to War” pacifist posturing and fails to explain the only possible way to “stop terror”, the revolutionary overthrow of epochally failed capitalism

Delayed admission of terrorist bomb responsible for Sinai crash shows callous cynicism of Western skulduggery desperate to maintain re-installed Sisi gangster dictatorship in Egypt at all costs against Arab Spring mass upheaval. But the blow exposes Bonapartist Putin for Western-apeing Syrian intervention against “terrorism” which simply plays into the hands of imperialism’s “jihadist” demonising and Nazi Islamist-scapegoating war stampede. The whole “condemn the monstrous terrorism” propaganda is a lying cover and excuse for the real source and cause of all the war destruction, the non-stop blitzing and torture imposed by capitalism itself as a way out of epochal economic and political catastrophe which unravels unstoppably despite temporary Quantitative Easing boost. Fake -“left” once again joins imperialist moralising “condemnation” instead of explaining the crisis basis of world “jihadism” as the initial confused revolutionary turmoil of a world in terminal disintegration. Clear Leninist revolutionary perspectives are the urgent need everywhere

Tory split on Slump cuts, grovelling to despised Chinese planned economy for investment and failure to stop UK industrial job wipeout, underlines the desperation of a ruling class unable to keep up in the maelstrom of world economic catastrophe. Pretences about “upturns” will soon be cut away as the QE boost peters out. But fake-“left” and Labourite “resistance to austerity” renewed reformism solves nothing; worse, it disarms and distracts from the only possible way out of crisis, the revolutionary overthrow of the entire stinking capitalist order. “Anti-dumping” calls feed the worst petty nationalism as does anti-EU Little Englanderism. “Left” calls to “bomb ISIS” capitulate to meaningless “war on terror” demonisation but Palestine 3rd Intifada “terror” shows their hypocrisy.

If Russian bombs destroy all ISIS it cannot stop the agony and horror of Middle East breakdown. Two decades of imperialist blitzing and torture to escape and avoid catastrophic crisis have deliberately torn country after country apart, not mystical “evil”. Fake-“Left” condemnation of “jihadism” is craven capitulation to imperialist scapegoating. All such chaos and mayhem due solely to antagonism and hatred engendered by worldwide capitalist crisis failure and Third World rebellion against its violent tyranny and exploitation. Defeat for capitalist warmongering is the need, opening up chance for revolutionary class war understanding to overthrow this murderous, historically defunct, private profit system. Putin’s macho posturing may set back Western skulduggery and expose uncertainty but apeing the meaningless “war on terror” plays into fascist “kill them all” barbaric stampeding of public opinion for WW3. Redcar steel closure foreshadows return of 2008 global collapse and far worse destruction.]

The shallow opportunism of the fake -“left” stampede to ride the Corbyn-ite “left Labour” victory is already being exposed by retreats and capitulations and a dismal failure to the give the working class any real leadership on the capitalist Slump crisis and the need to overthrow this entire rotten warmongering system. Their pretence of revolutionism has always been a hollow fraud laced with anti-communism and is even more clearly so now, tailending the class-collaborating nonsense of the “parliamentary way”. But the generals and judges have no such qualms, now openly threatening coups and takeovers. Sneers that “it would never happen here” further confirm the smug petty bourgeois complacency which cannot see the crisis nor the underlying revolutionary potential of the left surge which has temporarily thrown up Corbyn. But the missing part is Leninist science leadership

Drone slaughter of UK “jihadists” in Syria is further shift in capitalist warmongering towards outright fascism. Such death squad assassination exposes the cynical fraud of the “rule of law”. Hoodwinking nonsense of “democracy“ further revealed by cynical Tory contempt for specific parliamentary vote AGAINST Middle East warmaking and by secret UK participation in US Pakistan drone “kill team”. Both incidents warn of bourgeois dictatorship reality of class rule which will go all the way to military coup if threatened. Re-building faith in this deadly “democracy” is the greatest fault of new “left” Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, disarming the working class from understanding that only revolution and workers dictatorship authority can change anything. Landslide Labour vote shows crisis shift in mass consciousness but misled by reformist opportunism, like useless “open doors” sloganising on asylum and refugee crisis, a posturing cover for fake-“left” anti-communism.

World market turmoil confirms Marxist “catastrophist” grasp of unstoppable monopoly capitalist crisis, sole cause of world wide degeneration and collapse into chaos and war. Any “bounceback” temporary, fed by ever more insane Mickey Mouse QE credit “creation” making oncoming cataclysm even worse. Only the total revolutionary overturn of the entire class-based world imperialist exploitation tyranny can now stop rush towards total war destruction, not pacifist “No to War” calls and “refusal to accept” austerity. But crisis now so deep even such tame “left” reformism is panicking the ruling class, fearful that deeper revolutionary debate will be unlocked. Dirty dealings to head off Corbynism simply prove the fraud of “democracy” and make need for Leninist revolutionary theory even more urgent in likely centrist developments. But a thousand issues need sorting out over fake- “left” PC individualist diversions, moralising “condemnation of terror” and cringing before CIA “anti-semitism” lies to head off correct world hatred of Zionist Nazism.

Sudden Labour “left” surge an encouraging mass revolt but leaves workers still clueless about the real catastrophe and disaster of capitalist collapse, heading for scapegoating anti-immigrant, anti-Muslim fascism and more international war. Only revolutionary overturn of capitalism can “Stop Austerity” requiring scientific Marxist understanding and leadership not disarming old Labour “democracy” illusions. Fake-“left” back-Corbyn excitement exposes false tailending “revolutionary” posturing but, while correct, Stalinist sneers of “same old reformism” are just as useless, missing the importance of a movement temporarily lifting Corbyn but which can only sweep past this useless opportunism. Blairite sourness may split and destroy Labour and good riddance, but the working class will remain.

Syriza “no to austerity” capitulation in Greece exposes fake-“left” of all shades, supporters and supposed “critics” alike, none making clear the depth and incurability of the global economic crisis meltdown, and the only possible solution to it, the revolutionary overthrow of the capitalist system. There never was a way to “stop austerity” because inexorable and epochal collapse of a class exploitation system has reached the end of the road historically and can only drag the world into deepening slump disaster, cutthroat trade war and the outright warmongering destruction that is the only “way out” capitalism has ever known. Keeping workers tied to continued protest and “left pressure on democracy” politics is now even more of cynical betrayal when the ruling class is desperately preparing counter-revolutionary repression and fascism to impose far more brutal and draconian cuts needed to survive. World revolt, already explosive in Africa and Middle East has already weakened imperialist control but is confused – conscious Leninism is missing everywhere and needs to be built

Dizzying Athens crisis speedup underlines sharpening class war in the unstoppable world capitalist collapse. Syriza referendum an opportunist copout, abandoning Greek working class to impossible contradictions without leadership and “not my fault” excuse-making. Revisionist KKE “leave europe” plan solves nothing but misleads too; the world outside is ravaged by the same crisis disaster. Workers need to understand the incurable collapse reality of the capitalist catastrophe and the only way out, complete takeover and common ownership of all finance and factories.

Nazi-NATO “exercises” in fascist Baltic states and Catholic reactionary “Solidarnosc” Poland keep war provocations simmering for World War Three. It is monopoly capitalism’s only escape from its catastrophic crisis, still unrolling despite QE “upturn” pretences. Fraudulent Syriza style anti-austerity pleading is a hopeless response to workhouse savagery and Slump “discipline” imposed everywhere and leaves workers disarmed. Only a revolutionary response to take over everything under firm working class control for socialism can stop the slide into Depression disaster and deal with coming counter-revolutionary crackdowns, coups and police state control. Start by bringing down the lying Tory government that no-one voted for and then all of corrupt and hoodwinking bourgeois “democracy”, rightly despised by most working class.

Fake- “left” wallows even further in defeatist gloom, failing – and not wanting – to see the revolutionary implications of the great Labour collapse. The stay-away working class has seen through corrupt and opportunist parliament and is crying out for better leadership. But they will not get it from the philistine “anti-austerity” protest leaders hostile to all revolutionary theory and understanding and leading the working class up the garden path – just as Syriza has done in Greece, achieving nothing with its lies about “Voting to end austerity”. Such populist shallowness is not only useless, failing to explain the incurable nature of the capitalist crisis but dangerously misleading the working class, leaving it open to the fascist repression and war hysteria that the ruling class is turning to for class survival.

Tory escalation of “anti-extremism” censorship and surveillance, and tearing up “Human Rights”, are not aimed at anti- “terrorism” but open censorship and clampdown on working class resistance to oncoming Slump catastrophe “austerity”. But such fascist repression is a desperate move, revealing further the already threadbare pretence of bourgeois “democracy”, confirming it as a hoodwinking lie and underlining the need for a revolutionary answer to the crisis. Tory election “victory” is a joke, an electoral coup confidence trick only possible because of Labour meltdown – itself confirmation that the working class is no longer taken by the voting fraud. But the vital Marxist understanding it is ready for, to fill the leadership vacuum, is still missing; instead the fake-“left” still props up the Parliament fraud; laughably calling for a referendum to oppose the very clampdown measures that prove democracy a lie.

Correct working class contempt for Parliament shows a readiness for revolutionary leadership but entire fake-“left” tied back to voting instead. “No to austerity” (or war) impossible except by ending capitalism. “Left” single issue feminism and “gay rights” are reformist diversions used for reactionary war hate building by capitalism. “Anti-racism” too needs developing to show the class nature of police killings like Baltimore and Ferguson.

Multiple parties for UK election and desperate media saturation hype reflect the disintegration of the bourgeois “democracy” trick as the catastrophic world economic crisis teeters on the edge of even greater meltdown than 2008, and World War Three drive continues in Ukraine, Yemen, Somalia etc. Fearful ruling class heads attention away from giant world collapse with shallow, unsustainable “recovery” LIES, and quibbling over “austerity”, petty nationalism, immigration etc to distract a working class, already deeply cynical about on-the-make “politicians”, from turning to revolutionary perspectives. Fake- “left” play the same games, failing to fill the philosophical and political vacuum left by growing contempt for voting with the revolutionary understanding urgently needed.

But the fake-”left” makes nothing of this weakness, hamstrung by decades of Politically Correct single-issue diversions from revolutionary politics like feminism, “gay rights” and black nationalism.

However gruesome and backward jihadist actions are declared, they pale to insignificance against non-stop massacring terror inflicted by imperialism from the Congo to the eastern Ukraine and repeated genocidal blitzing of Palestine. Convoluted theories that jihadists are “all created by the CIA” make no sense, vastly overestimate imperialist powers and evade that, however confused, this unstoppable Third World revolt is growing on its own, inflicting blows and defeats on colonial exploitation tyranny. The chaos reflects the epochal breakdown of capitalism everywhere, as its catastrophic failure spreads its disastrous effects and fascist Washington pushes the world deliberately towards all-out war, the profit system’s only “solution” to its crisis.

Not which parliamentary party is “to blame” for the economic failures – but why is there a Slump and Depression at all?? They are ALL to blame because they all continue running capitalism itself. The contradictions of the private profit way of running things alone are to blame. It is not just ruling class greed but how greed prevents re-ordering of the whole world on a planned cooperative basis which need never see Slump and War again. Communism in short, under control of the dictatorship of the working class – which no-one will say, fake “lefts” included. Leninism will

Over-the-top plaudits for Hugo Chávez mislead the working class about his political weaknesses and cover-up complete failure of the fake-“left” to take up the critical questions of revolutionary struggle and overturn of the capitalist system. Chávez can be celebrated for his help to the working class but his refusal to develop an understanding of Marxism and contemptuous dismissal of the Leninist fight for theory is a major weakness which potentially disarms the Venezuelan working class against the sinister counter-revolutionary machinations of Washington, ready to ride roughshod across all pretences about “democracy” as it did with Allende in Chile and numerous massacred struggles in Latin America since, including Obama’s coups against Honduras and Paraguay. Imperialism’s greatest weapon as continuing crisis confirms the historic failure of its system is the confusion of anti-communism and soft-brained “democracy” illusions. Leninism urgently needed

Wild exaggerations about the “threat to our ‘democratic’ way of life” in Cameron’s revived talk of “fifty years” of a “war on terror” are ludicrous in themselves, made to keep public fears at fever pitch and capitalist warmongering on the boil, for the oncoming “answer” to slump and Depression.

Algerian attack and Mali revolts are further symptoms of massive Third World discontent rising at the non-stop oppression and poverty forced on their backs, now intensified dramatically by the catastrophic failure of capitalism which is imposing disaster, penury, starvation and misery everywhere. Western “outrage” is hypocritical humbug and crocodile tears, being used to “justify” the endless war which it has deliberately set going itself, to escape its own disastrous historical failure and the catastrophic collapse of the private profit making system. These blows against imperialist interests are no more to be condemned than any other desperate struggles from Palestine to Pakistan. But the fake-“lefts” are already lining up with imperialism as they did over the World Trade Centre attacks, and continue to do with their foul joining in anti-Islam scapegoating. “Principled” revisionism is no better, hiding behind convoluted “conspiracy” theories to “condemn terror” as well

The entire election has avoided even mentioning the meltdown failure of capitalism for fear of the working class eruptions that are coming, just as in Greece, Thailand, the Middle East and much more. Fake-“left” support for assorted reformist “left” candidates underlines their total class-collaborating opportunism and supine failure to grasp or understand the revolutionary upheavals shaking the world.

Electoral meltdown reflecting growing worldwide defeats for US shock-and-awe blitzings will further hamper the US neocon fascist agenda for imposing capitalist crisis on the rest of the world. But “democratic change” is an illusion and the “Democrats” as much part of the ruling order as the Bushites, changing nothing about imperialism’s overall plunge into Third World War mayhem. Whatever pullout there is from Iraq, – is down to insurgency and resistance not morality and will be replaced by more warmongering as soon as capitalism can get its breath back. Only revolutionary struggle can end the continuing destructiveness of imperialism. Leninism is ever more vital.

The “terrorist” struggle will only continue to grow as the crisis finally tips into disastrous trade war and debt collapse and increasingly will create conditions for building rational Marxist understanding. Foul anti-Muslim scapegoating will not save imperialism but only expose further the reality of the Goebbels Lie of “democracy and parliament” as stinking oppressive dictatorship.
