Considering the incredible achievements of the world's first self-sustaining, besieged workers' state in history, facts like this just make me sad. Imagine what they could have achieved - still - if they weren't perpetually concentrated on this level of self-preservation.

This is why I find other (ostensible) leftists so exhausting. We don't advocate the principle of, say, 'socialism in one country' because we enjoy the buzz of it. We advocate it because it is necessary. Unwittingly or not, left-anticommunists are foot soldiers of imperialism.

On This Day, 1991.
The illegal dissolution of the USSR was a detriment to humanity.
At the time, critics believed this was the final blow against communism as an ideology.
On the contrary, history has proven that communism is far from being extinct, and is in fact growing.

Keir Starmer is a chronic liar and a serial opportunist, and so it comes as little surprise to see him take full advantage of this popular piece of historical revisionism.
So let's revisit some facts🧵
Today we remember the victims of the Holodomor, the brutal man-made famine engineered by the Soviet regime which cost the lives of millions of Ukrainians.
We continue to stand united with Ukraine as they fight for their freedom against Russian aggression.

A despicable re-writing of history, seeking to confect 'context' for an especially dark chapter, rather than face up to it.
The relentless normalisation of fascism MUST be called out and opposed, wherever and whenever it occurs, without qualification and without exception.
Today, we Latvians, remember our soldiers in WW2 who fought in nazi uniforms. Although they were part of the Waffen SS, they were not nazis and rather fought for their families and land. 🇱🇻🧵

A cursory reminder that "Holodomor" - the confected myth that the devastating Soviet famine of 1931-33 was a man-made genocide - is a Nazi fabrication and a form of Holocaust denial: bogus moral equivalence between the imagined crimes of communism & the actual crimes of Nazism.

You don't hate Brexit.
You hate capitalism.
The problems faced by working people in Britain - poverty, unemployment and alienation - are caused by capitalism itself.
We faced these while a member of the EU.
EU member states face the same crisis as we do in Britain today.
Brexit is trending again and the myth that every bad thing about society in Britain is the result of leaving the European Union is being peddled again, with increasing fanaticism.
Just as dangerously we see again and again the claim that it can all be solved by rejoining the EU.

You are mistakenly assuming that an elected head of state must also be the head of government. Many countries such as Ireland have an elected president who carries out a non-executive, ceremonial function, and performs the role of a unifying "national figurehead" perfectly well.
