GENEVA (AP) — An Indian-born billionaire and three family members were sentenced to prison on Friday for exploiting domestic workers at their lakeside villa in Switzerland by seizing their passports, barring them from going out and making them work up to 18 hours a day.

A Swiss court dismissed more serious charges of human trafficking against 79-year-old tycoon Prakash Hinduja; his wife, Kamal; son Ajay and daughter-in-law Namrata on the grounds that the workers understood what they were getting into, at least in part. The four received between four and 4 1/2 years in prison.

The workers were mostly illiterate Indians who were paid not in Swiss francs but in Indian rupees, deposited in banks back home that they couldn’t access.

Prosecutors said workers described a “climate of fear” instituted by Kamal Hinduja. They were forced to work with little or no vacation time, and worked even later hours for receptions. They slept in the basement, sometimes on a mattress on the floor.

The problem with liberal progressivity is that they tolerate other ethinicities, sexual minorities, etc. who have money and are part of upper class. If you are poor working class liberals dont care about your human rights.

ANC alliance partners denounce 'isolation' in KZN
On Thursday the SACP, Cosatu and Sanco held a media briefing in Durban where they expressed grave concern over what they termed ''a complete breakdown of their working relationship with the ANC”.

The provincial secretaries of the three organisations- Cosatu’s Edwin Mkhize, the SACP’s Themba Mthembu and Sanco’s Sizwe Cele — said they had learnt of political developments in the province through the media.


Recently the alliance said it had learnt via the media of the removal of eThekwini mayor Mxolisi Kaunda and the coalition talks with the IFP and the DA.

The alliance partners said they had heard from IFP president Velenkosini Hlabisa of the agreements on a coalition in the province when he held a media briefing. They added that before the elections they had also had difficulty receiving information from the ANC on decisions regarding the governance of state-owned enterprises.

Moreover, secretariat meetings meant to take place with the ANC had all but ceased to exist.

The alliance partners, who said they were not invited to the table for coalition negotiations, also expressed concerns over a possible IFP, ANC, DA and NFP coalition government for the province.

“In KwaZulu-Natal it is the MK Party that has acquired 45% of the vote, ours is a principled stance that they should govern but not with the ANC. We are very sceptical of the MK Party because we haven't been taken through their constitution, their policies. So who would we say we are forming an alliance with,” Mthembu said.

Is the way the ANC has devolved a critique of Democratic Centralism, anons? To me it seems a system very easily captured by bribery and so on.

The issue is isn't that it isn't immediately effective.

It's that it's never effective and is arguably brings animosity to the movement. You bring up nuclear disarmament protests. It's been many decades now, where's the nuclear disarmament?

I am a big fan of the VAX line of computers from Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC). The VAX family was a huge success for DEC, with the last members arriving in the early 1990s. The name VAX refers to its Virtual Address eXtension concept that allowed programs to make use of this newly available memory while still being compatible with unmodified user mode PDP-11 code. The name "VAX-11", used on early models, was chosen to highlight this capability. DEC quickly dropped the −11 branding as PDP-11 compatibility was no longer a major concern. The line expanded to both high-end mainframes like the VAX 9000 as well as to the workstation-scale systems like the VAXstation series. The VAX family ultimately contained ten distinct designs and over 100 individual models in total. All of them were compatible with each other and normally ran the VAX/VMS operating system.

>what would Mao say about it?
Pasteur discovered the existence of viruses which made it possible for him to develop the first vaccine. Similarly, it's because Mao discovered the laws operating within socialist society that give rise to the bourgeois line in the party that he was able to develop the policies, the strategy and tactics, to defeat the bourgeois line and various bourgeois headquarters, not once but repeatedly.

Basically think of Maoism as a vaccine against revisionism. It works on the herd immunity principle. You need to inoculate everyone against it because even a few capitalist-roaders can cause an outbreak. People can disagree privately but laws should compel them to conform with the science here.

A Jailed Socialist in Turkey Calls for Solidarity With Gaza By Alp Altınörs
ISIS, who committed genocide against the Yezidis in Shingal on August 3, 2014, and before that had carried out a genocide against the Turkmen of Tel Afar, could not do the same in Kobani. It did not let itself be written into history as a city that suffered the pain of genocide — and instead became known as the city that stopped ISIS. Today, the world is witnessing another genocide: the one perpetrated by Israel against the Palestinian people in Gaza. The Israelis want to annex Gaza and expel its Palestinian population (just as they did in the Nakba of 1948). Let us recall what Naomi Klein wrote about disaster capitalism. Once again, a part of the Palestinian homeland will be filled with settlements by the occupation forces. The pain and suffering of the Palestinians will be transformed into profits for Israeli monopolies. Those who upheld the democratic protests against the ISIS genocide in Kobani yesterday, today come out against Israel’s genocide in Gaza. The universities of the United States are raising their voices against this barbarism. When there is a genocide ongoing, to watch in silence is also a crime. We who ten years ago tried to prevent a genocide unfolding before our eyes, are today punished with prison sentences in this political trial.

The New Popular Front in France and the balance of class forces
FRANCE is in a deep systemic crisis of the kind that has punctuated its history with violent eruptions. We index them by the years in which they took place from 1789 onwards. The panicked election for the National Assembly called by President Emmanuel Macron following his party’s humiliation in the European elections, means France in three weeks could have: a fascist prime minister, or a prime minister on a left programme that bosses are screaming is “anti-capitalist,” or no prime minister plus chaos in the government. All with eruptions on the street bigger than those already taking place. Hundreds of thousands protested at the weekend against Marine Le Pen and her far-right National Rally (RN) that topped the European election. Polling for the legislative election is volatile. The RN is at about 32 per cent. Macron’Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

>Why would anyone want to innovate and study? Why would one study to become a physician when he'll end up winning the same amount as someone who doesn't do shit?
One's payment in socialist societies was a factor of the hours worked, their experience, the hazards associated with a job, and the education needed to perform their job, so a teacher made more than a taxi driver and a factory worker with 20 years experience made more than one with 5 years. Getting a good education was also a means of moving somewhere better, performing well in your classes or getting a good job could allow you to move from the village to a provincial town, or from a provincial town to a major city.
>Communism ends up in famine and misery because of this
Those post-socialist provincial towns and villages are in misery because of capitalism. Take a drive down certain rural areas and it'll look like you wandered into a post-apocalyptic environment, with the only industries in sight being cafes and car washes for tourists.

I acutally kind of have to hand it to Georgia for actually passing this law. I always thought of that country as basically having been an American puppet since 2004.

How in the hell isn't a blatant traitor like Pashinyan not get removed after presiding over the largest geopolitical catastrophe in Armenian history? And for what? Accession to the EU/NATO in the 2040s at best? Given the way things are going in the world, I doubt there will even be an EU or NATO to accede to by then.

> so they were made to do grunt work in the liberated cities.
The three people I know well who went to fight: Two fought in Raqqa, building-to-building urban fighitng. One died fighting turks during Olive Branch. So i do not know what you mean by either 'grunt work' as they were fighting or combat-medicing or whatever, nor 'made' considering they CHOSE to go and volenteer, it's what they signed up for.

TBH brother it sounds like you're angry at international volenteers and seething. Did you get in an argument or fall out with a volunteer at a meeting or something?

The hell are you talking about, the YPG had an academy to teach people coming how to fight and foreigners did fight under this organization, under YPG international. The YPG is the main member of the SDF which is a coalition so yeah of course they joined the SDF. The culture clashes were mostly internal to Syria because, breaking news, most people over there have a very traditional upbringing in contrast to the progressiveness of orgs like the YPG which aims to emancipate women among other things.
Maybe do your homework before spitting on people sacrificing their lives to fight fascism.

Foreigners joining the peshmerga while it happened, was extremely rare, most foreigners joined the YPG associated group. The issue with the YPG was that they would rather have tea than to fight isis while isis was just in another village a mile away. The death of westerners was taken rather hard by the YPG. Very few units were formed with just westerners. One exception was Martyr Bagok unit. Most of which were veterans of western militaries. Hardly social media larpers. Shit, that unit could not even take photos. The other formed with macer gifford turned into a shitshow when the larpers started using all the morphine as recreational drugs.

This is a former US Soldier who actually fought in Ukraine and it really does show the massive difference in quality and qualification
