Torn between filling in my nationality as "rootless cosmopolitan", "international judeo-bolshevik" or "metropolitan separatist" when the census arrives.

Willing to seize all your assets and infrastructure, and bring them under democratic control by the workers and communities you exploit, so we can coordinate a just transition to zero carbon.

The utterly unhinged reactions to this demonstrate a disturbing level of sick, inhumane detachment in waaay too many (supposed) leftists. [1/2]

The Holodomor was an act of deliberate mass starvation by Stalin's Russia that claimed the lives of 1 in 8 Ukrainians. Yesterday I called for Parliament to officially recognise it as a genocide.

Simple denialism from full-on Stalinists is no surprise. More disturbing are those who don't deny, yet can only respond by insisting everyone change the subject to another atrocity more aligned with their preferred talking points. Like it's some kind of fucking scoreboard. [2/2]

Pretty gross watching liberals follow the far-right down the path of cheering border closures against refugees trying to escape conscription by tyrants, while sneering - from their safe armchairs - that the victims should welcome the chance to "stay and resist".

These people seem incapable of even imagining the kind of consistent, borderless, human solidarity against ruling classes and oppression around the world, that a serious international socialist movement requires. [3/2...]
