EDITORS—Joti tracks the reasons for the Dems’ recent embarrassing defeat at the polls, and the UK Laborites’ dismal performance.
TOPICS: UK/US working class apathy and alienation from the political establishment and taking part in elections, a fact that worries the ruling elites as elections serve to legitimate their rule. • Trump’s MAGA people may represent the last contingent of true believers in the US promise of an actual popular democracy, notes • Joti describes in detail how WOKISM (identity politics) is nothing but a shameless ruling class tactic to disarm the working class by introducing issues that serve to divide it, while presenting the state (in the hands of one or another wing of the plutocracy) as their saviours. Insofar as identity politics replaces the actual class struggle, in which economic factors play the preponderant part, it buries the possibilities for revolutionary social change. This is seen in issue after issue. Radical bourgeois feminists, for example, taught women in the 1980s that their “natural” enemy was men, not the ruling elites. Bourgeois feminism ended up subverting women’s power. • Same with the “woke” anti-racist movement. Capitalism, in fact, needs racism; it is one of the ideologies fuelling and justifying colonialism and the ruthless expropriation of people around the globe, often using racist imperial soldiers who come from the exploiting country’s working class.

EDITORS—Students with the youth-led Sunrise Movement walked out of over 30 high schools and universities across the United States on Friday to stand against U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s “extreme agenda” and promote “the fight for climate justice, workers’ rights, and democracy.”
The protesters carried signs and banners with messages including “This Is a Climate Emergency,” “Protect Our Futures,” “People Not Profit,” “Fuck Trump,” “Together We Rise,” and “The Dems Failed, The People Won’t.”

ROGER BOYD—This year, Sheinbaum was elected as the President of Mexico with 60% of the vote! The attack of the bought and paid for Western mainstream media upon the democratically elected president was nearly immediate . The Atlantic Monthly chimed out “Women Can Be Autocrats Too, Mexico’s new president follows her predecessor’s authoritarian path” authored by the dependable US oligarch propagandist tool David Frum. In US mainstream media Newspeak, the word “authoritarian” means any foreign leader that is not a vassal to the US; irrespective of the nature of the government involved. “Democratic” or “Popular” tends to mean any leader who is a US vassal; irrespective of the nature of the government involved. In this Newspeak, Sheinbaum is authoritarian while the unelected Zelensky who has banned the opposition parties, media and even religious orders while depending on the support of a bunch of fascist thugs is defined as “democratic”. As is the Zionist apartheid state, whose genocidal and ethnic cleansing policies Sheinbaum opposes.

FEMI AKOMOLAFE—One of today’s wonders is how anyone with a brain could fail to notice how far from reality the leaders and the media in the West have become.
Visiting Europe and watching the news there these days is quite an experience. Europeans chose to create and live in their parallel universe, millions of miles from reality. It does not help matter that unelected EU bureaucrats have hijacked almost every aspect of life. These EUcrats banned Europeans from watching alternative news media.
It baffles greatly that Europeans sheepishly went along.
America mercifully did not descend into the levels of Europe before they decided to act.
As we said at the onset, we have no horse in American presidential races.
However, the country’s importance will continue to affect our lives deeply.

ROGER BOYD—In 2006, Walz ran for the US House of Representatives and won; serving until 2018. He was against the Iraq War and repeatedly voted against corporate bailouts. He showed his anti-China stance by meeting with the CIA-financed Dalai Lama and serving on a commission monitoring “human rights violations in China”, and also showed staunch support for the Zionist regime (which he has repeated during the current presidential election campaign).
