The "zionism is racism" motion that has just passed on the Green Party's conference floor is truly gross, and deeply racist. The party's MPs deserve some credit for opposing it, though they should've done so more stridently and sooner. This is now a millstone around the party's necks. Deservedly.

Travelled from Bristol to Southampton on a train packed with @bristolcityfc.bsky.social fans... 2.5 hrs with maximum 🍻few 🚽 & standing room only, 90% young white men... yet heard 0️⃣ racism, saw 0️⃣ bad behaviour... even managed a chat about Econ: that's the 🇬🇧 I ❤️ - only sorry about the score, lads!

Today is the 4th anniversary of the the liberation of Izium, after 6 months of brutal Russian occupation. I went there on the 1st anniversary. I will never forget what I saw, what people told me.

I've written an essay at Aspects of History - on why I wrote Reds... aspectsofhistory.substack.com/p/rethinking...

aspectsofhistory.substack.comRethinking Communism’s History, by Paul MasonKarl Marx was never the original architect of the communist tradition, which traces deeper roots from French revolutionary thought and the utopian ideals of Babeuf and Blanqui.
