Great quote by Irish socialist James Connolly, essentially the difference between socialist republicanism and plain nationalism

“If you remove the English Army tomorrow and hoist the green flag over Dublin Castle., unless you set about the organization of the Socialist Republic your efforts will be in vain. England will still rule you. She would rule you through her capitalists, through her landlords, through her financiers, through the whole array of commercial and individualist institutions she has planted in this country and watered with the tears of our mothers and the blood of our martyrs.

Leon Trotsky is certainly not my favourite figure, but this quote goes hard…

“If you cannot convince a fascist, acquaint his face with the pavement”

Wait so Ukraine just casually and officially posted videos of them committing a war crime? Because that surely violates something in the Geneva convention

Finally, a win for us small guys!

I’d like to think we all are

A racist, a snitch, a rapist, and a plagiarist walk into a bar. The bartender says “how’s the new book coming along, Mr Orwell?”

Fans waving Palestine fans is political and must be kept out of football and punished, this is fine though.

Listen to 4th Branch by Immortal Technique

I did indeed

It is quite depressing watching the odd video where Andrew Tate quite accurately describes capitalist democracy and the limitations of liberal democracy. Like, continue that thought to its logical conclusion.

I see that I have played myself

James Connolly (Irish Socialist Republican) is great for quotes:

• “Governments in capitalist society are but committees of the rich to manage the affairs of the capitalist class”.

• “If you remove the English Army tomorrow and hoist the green flag over Dublin Castle, unless you set about the organization of the Socialist Republic your efforts will be in vain. England will still rule you. She would rule you through her capitalists, through her landlords, through her financiers, through the whole array of commercial and individualist institutions she has planted in this country and watered with the tears of our mothers and the blood of our martyrs”.

• “Ireland, as distinct from her people, is nothing to me; and the man who is bubbling over with love and enthusiasm for "Ireland," and can yet pass unmoved through our streets and witness all the wrong and the suffering, shame and degradation wrought upon the people of Ireland-yea, wrought by Irishmen upon Irish men and women, without burning to end it, is, in my opinion, a fraud and a liar in his heart, no matter how he loves that combination of chemical elements he is pleased to call Ireland”.

• “Don't be 'practical' in politics. To be practical in that sense means that you have schooled yourself to think along the lines, and in the grooves that those who rob you would desire you to think”.

• “The worker is the slave of capitalist society, the female worker is the slave of that slave”.

Nice quote, although I’m not sure I’d regard AOC as a Marxist or an ML

My friend used to always say during school “when you get your first paycheck you’ll stop being a socialist”. Until he started working… he’s now a socialist.

“Anti-war leftists” seething at the idea of checks notes… not cutting off water supply to civilians.

Neymar and Lucas Moura have both expressed support recently, previously Willian also

I’m really bad at languages but it’d be really cool to speak Arabic

“Do you want to die fighting for a foreign imperialist power?”

-Option 1: Yes -Option 2: I love Putin

Not a loaded question at all… /s

I love how, in the first panel, the bolsheviks are red fash tankies. Yet, immediately in the second panel, the ‘original revolutionaries’ are ‘anarchists and libertarian socialists’.
