'Communists should have largeness of mind and should be staunch and active, looking upon the interests of the revolution as their very life and subordinating their personal interests to those of the revolution; always and everywhere they should adhere to principle and wage a tireless struggle against all incorrect ideas and actions, so as to consolidate the collective life of the Party and strengthen the ties between the Party and the masses; they should be more concerned about the Party and the masses than about any private person, and more concerned about others than about themselves. Only thus can they be considered Communists.' Mao Zedong

South African metalworkers back ILWU’s C&H Sugar strike

The National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa (NUMSA), representing over 300,000 metalworkers, stands shoulder-to-shoulder in solidarity with our comrades of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) — specifically Warehouse Local 6 and Longshore Local 10 — in their heroic battle against C&H Sugar Refinery in California.

August 5, 1895: Death of Comrade Frederick Engels, co-founder (with Karl Marx) of scientific socialism, great leader and teacher of the world working class.

From ‘Frederick Engels’ by V.I. Lenin:

What a torch of reason ceased to burn, what a heart has ceased to beat!

On August 5 (new style), 1895, Frederick Engels died in London. After his friend Karl Marx (who died in 1883), Engels was the finest scholar and teacher of the modern proletariat in the whole civilised world. From the time that fate brought Karl Marx and Frederick Engels together, the two friends devoted their life’s work to a common cause. And so to understand what Frederick Engels has done for the proletariat, one must have a clear idea of the significance of Marx’s teaching and work for the development of the contemporary working-class movement. Marx and Engels were the first to show that the working class and its demands are a necessary outcome of the present economic system, which together with the bourgeoisie inevitably creates and organises the proletariat. They showed that it is not the well-meaning efforts of noble-minded individuals, but the class struggle of the organised proletariat that will deliver humanity from the evils which now oppress it. In their scientific works, Marx and Engels were the first to explain that socialism is not the invention of dreamers, but the final aim and necessary result of the development of the productive forces in modern society. All recorded history hitherto has been a history of class struggle, of the succession of the rule and victory of certain social classes over others. And this will continue until the foundations of class struggle and of class domination – private property and anarchic social production – disappear. The interests of the proletariat demand the destruction of these foundations, and therefore the conscious class struggle of the organised workers must be directed against them. And every class struggle is a political struggle.

These views of Marx and Engels have now been adopted by all proletarians who are fighting for their emancipation. But when in the forties the two friends took part in the socialist literature and the social movements of their time, they were absolutely novel. There were then many people, talented and without talent, honest and dishonest, who, absorbed in the struggle for political freedom, in the struggle against the despotism of kings, police and priests, failed to observe the antagonism between the interests of the bourgeoisie and those of the proletariat. These people would not entertain the idea of the workers acting as an independent social force. On the other hand, there were many dreamers, some of them geniuses, who thought that it was only necessary to convince the rulers and the governing classes of the injustice of the contemporary social order, and it would then be easy to establish peace and general well-being on earth. They dreamt of a socialism without struggle. Lastly, nearly all the socialists of that time and the friends of the working class generally regarded the proletariat only as an ulcer, and observed with horror how it grew with the growth of industry. They all, therefore, sought for a means to stop the development of industry and of the proletariat, to stop the “wheel of history.” Marx and Engels did not share the general fear of the development of the proletariat; on the contrary, they placed all their hopes on its continued growth. The more proletarians there are, the greater is their strength as a revolutionary class, and the nearer and more possible does socialism become. The services rendered by Marx and Engels to the working class may be expressed in a few words thus: they taught the working class to know itself and be conscious of itself, and they substituted science for dreams.

Mariela Castro Espín: "Sex education is always taking place spontaneously, but it is best when grounded in the knowledge and insights offered by science, so that it is done well—or in the best possible way."

Sex education is a continuous process that accompanies people throughout their lives. Every experience, conversation, and learning process contributes to how we understand our bodies, build relationships, and exercise our rights. Hence the importance of grounding this process in knowledge, respect, and the contributions of science. Growing up with love is learning for life.

By Lauren Theisen

If you came across these headlines as a non-sports fan, it would probably be fair for you to assume that there's a trans woman playing in the WNBA, or at least one at a high level in college who might be drafted soon. But there's no such trans basketball player.

Not unlike that period in the 2000s when male athletes would get asked if they'd be comfortable with an imaginary gay teammate, these quotes, both for and against, are all about trans women and girls as a concept, as opposed to an actual woman who could potentially speak for herself.

The perfect trans girl is the one who only exists in the imagination of the loudest cis people.

The Student-Youth Movement Secures Victory Through the Extraordinary Courage and Indomitable Resolve of the Country's Students and Youth Fin

The Modi government has been compelled to bow down and accept the immediate charter of demands raised by this courageous and historic movement of students and youth. This marks a huge victory for the student-youth movement. Certainly, the larger and more far-reaching struggle continues: the fight to repeal the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, to end the commercialization of education, to stop its communalization, and ultimately to establish free and equal education as a fundamental right for every young person in the country.

That is the trap Washington built for itself. It cannot bomb its way to its war aims, and it cannot meet Iran’s terms without admitting the war failed. So it keeps bombing — homes on Qeshm, a railway here, a power station there — to prove it still can.

On July 30 and 31, tens of thousands of Moroccan workers crossed into the Spanish-held enclave of Ceuta. At least 72 drowned or were crushed on the way. The toll kept rising as bodies washed ashore. Within two days, most had returned to Morocco. Many went back voluntarily; Spanish soldiers escorted others to the border.

They were poor, out of work and mostly young. The ruling-class press on both sides of the Atlantic reached for one word: invasion.

Although her passport being invalidated was overlooked while exiting Country 1, no foreign country would knowingly let her enter with an invalidated passport. Not even Country 2, whose airport she was now in. Returning to the U.S. was also out of the question, as she had spent the last year seeking protection from the U.S. government. She knew her life would be in mortal danger if she returned, not just from a bigoted government, but from a years long campaign against her by neo-nazis, spread across three time zones and two continents.

Marx had a name for wealth of this kind: fictitious capital. A thin layer of real income supports a towering mass of debt and stock valuations — paper claims on profits that have not yet been made.

Washington drops the “free market” when a public system undercuts U.S. monopolies. Washington is acting as the executive committee of monopoly capital, using state power to defend the tolls collected by Visa and Mastercard. The tariff shows how strongly monopoly capital now depends on financial tolls.

The tariff covers thousands of Brazilian products, including sugar, clothing and machinery. But Washington exempted coffee, beef, oil, rare earths and aircraft parts — goods U.S. corporations depend on or whose higher prices would hurt the U.S. market. The pattern exposes the class character of the tariff: protect U.S. supply chains while hitting Brazilian industries Washington believes can be used to force concessions. One of those concessions is protection for Visa and Mastercard against Pix.

After the earthquakes, US and Israeli troops arrived in Venezuela, but economic and political interests, not humanitarian recovery, appear t

By Jessica Dos Santos

The country that in 2008 heard then-President Hugo Chávez say, “Go to hell, damn Yankees,” as he expelled the U.S. ambassador, today watches hundreds of U.S. soldiers patrol the streets of La Guaira, which was devastated by the two earthquakes a month ago. The soldiers distribute meager humanitarian aid in small boxes bearing U.S. flag stickers while filming for publicity spots.

The U.S. has promised $386 million to help Venezuela recover, but it and its allies continue to hold more than $22 billion in frozen Venezuelan assets. Washington’s actions demonstrate, once again, that its priority is oil, not the well-being of Venezuelans. Meanwhile, U.S. real estate developers are also visiting La Guaira, treating the devastation as yet another business opportunity.
