I think that to be a good revolutionary, you have to have a good belly laugh. When the stakes are so high, how can one trust and follow someone that doesn’t?

Was pleased to see Empire of Normality cited in the recent UK government commissioned independent report on autism and ADHD. One step closer to neurodivergent Marxist hegemony.

Fwiw i think it was brave to stand in a seat where labour have such a strong starting point not to mention in such a hostile media environment. I was impressed by how well @zackpolanski.bsky.social did in the circumstances.

"So many of the people I speak to here tell me they’ve voted Labour in the past – but this time, they’re voting Green to elect an independent local MP who will fight for their communities and keep the Labour government in check."

comrades oppose the motion on pragmatic grounds, seeing it as making the Greens less electable in the short term. That may or may not turn out to be true; but even so, looking purely at the national context overlooks the international significance. There remains both great risk and potential. 2/2

Its interesting to see Hasan Piker point out that the Greens are now leading the way internationally and that the DSA should follow, whereas its previously been Greens following the DSA. I think this captures the motion's international and pragmatic significance. I do get why some anti-zionist 1/2

Listen to political economist Ashok Kumar, my colleague at my former employer, explain the stakes of the Green Party’s motion

Very offline atm but as Luxemburg said we must say loudly what is happening: "zionism is racism" is not only true; it’s also obviously true yet vital to state given how its obviousness is being so fervently assaulted to stifle recognition of the apartheid and genocide.

Its been so nice co-running a radical bookshop with @benbowsher.bsky.social and @emilywebz.bsky.social the last few days since opening. Lots of interest, support, gratitude and solidarity. Will write more about it at some point but for now am just extremely busy and not very online.

Comrades what are you favourite contemporary zines (available in the UK)? We are discussing what to stock in our radical bookshop!

Lovely to see Ed Sheeran's support acts quitting. I think often liberals dislike solidarity as it shines a light on the utter hollowness of their politics. They do everything they can to shut it down, discredit, or silence it. But always remember that they do this because they recognise its power.

I had forgotten about him but 2013 was the year Thriftshop seemed to be on everywhere!

@drrobertchapman.bsky.socialSep 15, 2026, 6:07 PM
