What’s Wrong with “Socialism In One Country” in China?

What’s Wrong with “Socialism In One Country”  in China? 16-02-2020: The US Empire’s war on the People’s Republic of China (PRC) rages on many fronts. Although the outbreak of the novel coronavirus presents countless opportunities for anti-Chinese racism[1], Washington has yet to use it in a significant way against China as a whole. The rampant and multi-pronged war against the PRC continues in other ways, … Continue reading What’s Wrong with “Socialism In One Country” in China?

Colour Revolution Stalks Lebanon

Colour Revolution Stalks Lebanon 10-11-2019 – Lebanon has the distinction of being one state where almost all domestic issues are automatically international.

XR Threaten Workers’ Democratic Rights

XR Threaten Workers’ Democratic Rights 20-10-2019 –  The Queensland Parliament’s determination to fast track laws designed to impede climate protests are potentially a dangerous precedent. Even though they are ostensibly aimed at preventing climate blockaders from using “dangerous devices”,[1] they could quite easily be used for much more. These moves are a response to the provocations of Extinction Rebellion (XR), who have repeatedly organised actions … Continue reading XR Threaten Workers’ Democratic Rights
