Four Palestine Action hunger strikers vow to continue as two pause protest
“The remaining four will continue to refuse food on the basis of [their] demands,” the group said on Tuesday.
The hunger strikers are demanding immediate bail, the right to a fair trial, and for the UK to de-proscribe Palestine Action, which it outlawed as a “terror” group in July. For their part, the pro-Palestinian group says the UK government is complicit in Israeli war crimes committed in Gaza.

How is mathematics as something that is free of contradictions able to reliably describe the material world that is inherently founded on contradictions, as dialectical materialism claims?

<Guys who wanted to do everything illegally with no legal work

How was this even a controversy in the RSDLP? Like obviously you need to do both legal and illegal work. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills learning about this shit.

>“renunciation of the illegal Social-Democratic Party, the belittling of its role and importance, attempts to cur tail the programmatic and tactical tasks and slogans of revolutionary Social-Democracy” are a manifestation of bourgeois influence over the proletariat. The only true Social-Democratic activity is that which recognises the danger of this deviation and of any ideological and political trend that is otzovist or justifies otzovism, and which really overcomes such deviations.

>Anyone who to this day regards “otzovism” as a “legitimate trend in our Party” takes the name of the R.S.D.L.P. in vain. You cannot conduct Party work in the elections to the Fourth Duma unless you most resolutely refuse to have anything to do with such people. He who to this day talks of conducting the Fourth Duma election campaign with the forces and resources of “legally functioning organisations”, with the forces and resources of an “open workers’ party”, and who at the same time refuses to abide by and carry out the decisions of the R.S.D.L.P. on the illegal organisation and the tactics as set forth in the Party’s resolutions, takes the name of the R.S.D.L.P. in vain. He who carries on election activity and does not abide by the decisions of the R.S.D.L.P., but follows the line proposed in articles appearing in Nasha Zarya, Golos Sotsial-Demokrata and Dyelo Zhizni, is a builder of a Stolypin “labour” party, and not of the revolutionary Social-Democratic party of the proletariat.

MODERN DAY BRUTALITY ON A WORLDWIDE SCALE

The policy (the so-called 'War on Drugs') is built on a gross deception: that drugs other than alcohol, tobacco and caffeine comprise a unique group of substances that present an unacceptable risk to health and welfare. This is wholly incorrect: alcohol and tobacco are the most dangerous drugs in existence. The criminalisation of associations with substances other than alcohol, tobacco and caffeine creates a criminal underclass that is the resource for the strategy.

The so-called 'War on Drugs' has absolutely nothing to do with drug use or drug-related harm of any kind: it is purely a worldwide economic system based on intentionally-created crime.

It results in mass imprisonment, fining, asset forfeiture, execution, wars, state-sanctioned murder and endemic violence etc. It provides the pretext under which huge sums of public money are allocated and sustains a massively profitable black market in substances other than alcohol, tobacco and caffeine.

The US oppresses its own citizens under the name of the policy and this oppression extends worldwide, with governments forced to oppress their own citizenry or be chastised and threatened by the US through the United Nations.

Those who profit from or otherwise wish for the so-called 'War on Drugs' to continue constantly proffer the falsehood that the strategy is related to substance use and the prevention and minimisation of drug-related harm. Those who profit from the oppression of others include but are not limited to enforcement organisations and the prison industry, the legal and welfare systems, academia and a plethora of other industries.

The phenomenon continues due to the power and ruthlessness of the US and its ability to generate economic activity. Its true motives are kept hidden via the mass complicity of governments, the press and those who profit from it.

Can anyone tell me what dialectical materialism is and how we can use it when analysing history? What do I read to understand it? I did some cursory research and found Plekhanov's essays on history and materialism. But I find Marx's writings on the subject of dialectical materialism too scattered to do a proper study of his texts. After the fall of the Soviet Union, people kind of thought dialectical materialism was woo woo. But I understand that Derrida responded to Fukuyama's thesis that liberalism will be the next world order, and that Marxist analysis and dialectical materialism never came true, but Derrida isn't an outright Marxist and his writings are usually only riffing on Marx rather than looking at history under a materialist lens. Derrida just seems sympathetic rather than using actual Marxist philosophy.

don't bother studying any political theory or philosophy from the 21st century, marx and engels already figured out how the entire world works in 1893. everything that can be learned has been learned, we understand ourselves and our world perfectly and now the only thing to do is put down the books and join the vanguard party. don't overstress your tiny little brain trying to think, it's a waste of time. the men already got it figured it out, sweetheart. the time for critical thought and introspection and empathy for the human condition is over, now it's time for the real work. let's make america great again.
