Zarah Sultana Boycotts Your Party Conference Over Member Expulsions
Your Party’s founding conference began in Liverpool today, with Jeremy Corbyn calling for unity among warring factions in the party – shortly before co-founder Zarah Sultana announced she would be boycotting all of the day’s events. Sultana’s refusal to set foot inside the conference hall was to protest a wave of last minute expulsions, with Socialist Workers party national secretary Lewis Nielsen claiming that he and several other members had received letters cancelling their memberships on Friday. He was already on a train to Liverpool at the time, he said.

Unions and left MPs slam government for cutting day one protections from unfair dismissal into the Employment Rights Bill
Ministers have axed the proposal to cut the “qualifying period” for workers to make an unfair dismissal claim from 24 months to the first day in a new job. They intend to introduce the right after six months of service instead, while other day-one rights to parental leave and sick pay are still set to go ahead, coming into effect in April 2026.

Germany’s far-right AfD forms new youth wing in attempt to revamp extremist image
It was in a bowling alley beside a parking lot in a small eastern German town that the designated youth-wing leader of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) laid out a simple vision for the party’s march to power: recruit and professionalize the young acolytes.

US Progressives Warn Trump Against Interference in Honduras Election
The US Congressional Progressive Caucus on Friday accused President Donald Trump of “flagrantly interfering” in Honduras’ upcoming presidential election after Trump announced his endorsement of right-wing candidate Nasry “Tito” Asfura and repeated threats he’s made previously ahead of other electoral contests in which he sought to secure a conservative win.

FDA claims Covid shots killed 10 children and vows new vaccine rules

Pete Hegseth denies he gave orders to ‘kill everybody’ on alleged ‘narco-boat’
The remarks came after a Washington Post report this week alleged that Hegseth ordered defense officials to “kill everybody” traveling on a boat that was being surveilled by analysts on 2 September, the first strike of many carried out in recent months by the Trump administration. The White House said – without proof – that the people in the boats in the Caribbean, killed in Pentagon operations, were drug smugglers.

PFLP Calls for Mass Popular Action in Global Cities for Gaza
Restoring this momentum is an urgent necessity to pressure for a halt to the aggressions and violations, for the occupation to fully implement the agreement, for the crossings to be opened unconditionally, and for the flow of humanitarian aid into the sector amidst the escalating catastrophe. We call for a unified global day of solidarity that constitutes a new push for organized popular action and brings the cause back to the forefront of international attention. The importance of restoring the luster of this global movement is highlighted by the unchanging reality and the worsening humanitarian tragedy in Gaza. We affirm that the cause is passing through an extremely dangerous stage with continued breaches, escalating violations in the West Bank and Jerusalem, the suffering of the prisoners, and the collapse of living conditions in the sector.

COP30 Isn’t a Failure — It’s a Farce
As the COP30 climate summit comes to a close here in Belém, in the Brazilian state of Pará, conference organizers have little to show after two weeks of highly publicized talks. This is bad for everyone. The United Nations Climate Change Conference desperately needed to restore its reputation. After all, last year’s COP29 took place in Azerbaijan, where fossil fuels make up 90% of the exports and where the government was being accused of carrying out genocide in the months leading up to the conference. The previous year, the COP28 was held in Dubai, capital of another petrostate. This year, the marketing strategy for the climate conference began with a mea culpa for the historic exclusion of Indigenous peoples. A UN press release announcing the findings of a recent report on Indigenous peoples and the climate crisis put it this way: ​“From green energy projects imposed without consent to policy decisions made in rooms where Indigenous voices are absent, these communities are too often excluded from climate solutions, displaced by them, and denied the resources to lead the way.” To address this, Brazil’s Ministry of Indigenous Peoples (MPI) invited 360 Indigenous leaders to participate in negotiations inside the COP, after a six-month process in which events were held with 80 Indigenous peoples whose territories aPost too long.

The Eureka Initiative is an American Communist Party (Haz cult) associate.
Probably deeper connections, I just haven't dug any further because I don't see the point.

Some basic evidence:
1) Their official subreddit /r/RedAustralia has an American Communist Party member as a moderator (/r/FamousPlan101). pic1rel

2)
a) Their official website, lists the Eureka Collective twitter account as a friend
b) Their official reddit account talks about the relationship of the EC to the EI. pic2rel. While the EI account correctly points out that one account on twitter generally doesn't represent a community (see also: /leftypol/ twitter account), this account is listed as a friend.

THE IDEAL WINNING 2028 DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM

As a supporter of the Immortal Science of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, the Highest Stage of Marxism, I obviously realize that the Democrats are a Controlled Opposition Party who exist to keep the Workers and Oppressed Nations/Internal Colonies of Naw Afrika, Aztlan, the First Nations, inside the U$ corralled and controlled, while the dominant ruling Crypto-Fascist Christian Zionist Nationalist MAGAtard Republicans transform the U$ into a Full-Blown Fascist Police State, which combined with the fact that the U$ is a Prison house of Nations, which treats the Black/New Afrikan, Hispanic/Chicano/Mestizo, and First Nations/Native American population like they are not U$ citizens (Trump ending birthright citizenship will probably transform this from a De facto to a De jure reality by officially stripping citizenship from most of these populations), with them essentially acting as a permanent domestic underclass with essentially no rights that are exploited for cheap labor and disproportionately suffer from Mass incarceration and police brutality, with their neighborhoods essentially under De facto occupation by militarized police, as New Afrika, Aztlan, and the First Nations, are Internal Colonies/Oppressed Nations inside of the U$, and their National Liberation should be the number one goal of U$ Communists as stipulated by Lenin’s principle of Self-Determination for all Oppressed Nations in their own SSR, which will happen once World War III escalates into a Global Nuclear War that will destroy the entire Global Capitalist-Imperialist System, thus allowing for a World Maoist PPW to create a Global USSR (all of the SSRs and SFSRs of the future Global USSR are pictured in the map I posted, with the former U$ Balkanized into a New African SSR that includes the Black/New Afrikan majority counties of the Black Belt, a Hispano-American SFSR that includes the Hispanic/Chicano/Mestizo majority counties in the U$ Southwest, along with the rest of the Spanish-speaking Multiracial regions of the Americas, while the White Settler majority regions in the rest of the former U$ becomes part of the Anglo-American SFSR, which also includes the English-speaking provinces of Canada, as Quebec will become its own SSR, with all the Native American reservations becoming ASSRs) to Place the Workers and Oppressed Nations of the World on the Shining Path to Communism, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🚀☢️!

The Dialectical Materialist Marxist-Leninist-Maoist analysis that provides the foundation for my Social Democratic, Social Progressive, and Non-Interventionist “Ideal Winning 2028 Democratic Platform” is not satirical, it is a 100% serious elucidation of my sincerely held beliefs, and my username “King Lear” is both a homage to the fact that I believe Shakespeare‘s King Lear is the greatest work of literature ever written and a symbolic reference to the fact that King Lear was the first literary work with an explicitly Atheist theme, with Marx saying that “the criticism of Religion is the foundation of all criticism”, thus you could say that King Lear’s subtle attack on Religion in its Crypto-Atheistic theme of Nihilism and Hopelessness in a chaotic Godless world, was a very early vague and tenuous prerequisite for the Atheistic Dialectical Materialist philosophy of Marxism, which is why I feel that King Lear was the greatest work of Literature ever written, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🚀☢️!

I have decided to Bump my Thread about the “Ideal Winning 2028 Democratic Platform” with a related In-Depth Dialectical Materialist Analysis Effort Post, detailing the two Shining Paths to Communism, the Global Nuclear War Shining Path to Communism and the Social Democratic/UBI/4th Industrial Revolution/AI/Multipolar Shining Path to Communism, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🚀☢️!

The Global Nuclear War Shining Path to Communism operates under the assumption that their will be a total Fascist takeover of the Imperial Core in which Bourgeois Liberal Democracy is permanently suspended that will lead to an inevitable World War III between the U$ and China escalating into a Global Nuclear War that will completely destroy the entire Global Capitalist-Imperialist System, thus allowing for a World Maoist PPW (In both the Periphery/Semi-Periphery, where Maoist PPW is currently viable, as proven by the ongoing Maoist PPWs in India, the Philippines, Turkey, and Peru, and the Imperial Core, where Maoist PPW will not be viable until World War III breaks out and/or Liberal Bourgeois Democracy is permanently suspended with these events being connected and probably happening around the same time) to create a Global USSR (The SSRs and SFSRs of the future Global USSR are shown in the first Map I posted, the second Map I posted specifically shows the SSRs and SFSRs of the future Global USSR in West Asia, while the third Image I posted shows the version of the Two-State Solution to the Zionist-Palestinian Conflict implemented in the future Global USSR with the Zionist State overthrown by a Maoist PPW and replaced by a Jewish SSR created inside the 1967 borders with 1:1 Land swaps that are very similar to the two Maps in the third Image I posted, while the West Bank and Gaza are placed in the Arab SFSR that will include all the Arab majority regions of West Asia and North Africa as shown in both my Map of the SSRs and SFSRs of the future Global USSR in the first Image I posted and the second Image I posted that specifically shows the SSRs and SFSRs of the future Global USSR in West Asia, and the 1:1 Land swaps between the Jewish SSR and Arab SFSR will mean that Arab villages in the “Triangle” region https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangle_(Israel) on the Jewish side of the 1967 borders will be exchanged for Jewish Settlements on the Arab side of the 1967 borders that are inside the “Seam Post too long.

But that capability has NEVER been tested against a seriously hardened deep-underground target encased in layers of high-performance concrete, and topped with a few dozen meters of solid rock.

- Your Party is suing itself, more at 11.
- The SNP and Plaid are going to form a "progressive alliance" somehow
- The government's going to do a switcheroo by raising income tax slightly and cutting national insurance to balance it out. (But they won't - follow this to its logical conclusion and scrap NI entirely)
- They're also considering cutting VAT on energy bills (which is the least efficient way of lowering bills you can imagine)
- The board of deputies asked Aston Villa for free footy tickets. In a worrying sign of rising antisemitism, Aston said nah.
- Labour is falling behind the Greens in the opinion polls as their strategy of copying Reform drives away their already-begrudging supporters without winning over any Reform voting reprobates. Nobody could have predicted this.

Yen Carry Trade Collapse Threatens Global Financial Stability

<Understanding the Yen Carry Trade Mechanism


>Financial institutions have leveraged interest rate differentials between major economies for decades, creating complex interdependencies that shape global market dynamics. The Japanese yen carry trade emerged as perhaps the most influential yet overlooked mechanism driving worldwide asset appreciation over the past thirty years. This strategy involves borrowing funds at Japan's historically suppressed interest rates and deploying capital into higher-yielding investments across international markets, but the current yen carry trade collapse threatens to unwind decades of accumulated positions.


<What Exactly Is a Yen Carry Trade?


>The yen carry trade operates through a relatively straightforward mechanism that has generated substantial profits for institutional and retail investors alike. Market participants borrow Japanese yen at near-zero interest rates, convert these funds to foreign currencies, and invest in assets offering superior returns. The profit emerges from the interest rate differential between Japan's ultra-low borrowing costs and higher yields available in US equities, European bonds, emerging market securities, and global real estate ventures.


>This strategy's effectiveness depends on two fundamental market conditions: Japan maintaining its accommodative monetary policy stance and yen exchange rates remaining stable or depreciating against major currencies. For three decades, these assumptions proved remarkably durable, enabling trillions of dollars in capital flows that supported asset price appreciation worldwide.

>This exceeds the previous record of $284.1 billion in October 2020, during the historic pandemic response.


>Government spending jumped +18% YoY, to $688.7 billion, bringing the 6-month moving average up to ~$590 billion. To put this differently, US government expenditures averaged ~$22.5 BILLION per day last month.

Tomorrow a huge protest will be held in the capital of Serbia, Belgrade, protesting the government’s refusal to accept the demands made by the students, as well as protesting against general incompetence and corruption. From the student to the teacher, worker and pensioner, war veterans and children all around Serbia will gather together in this protest.
Is this really it? Some policemen announced that they won’t be going to work tomorrow and that they have no intention of beating up children. This might be the only chance that the opposition gets to forcefully remove the president from office.
The implications are obvious; a color revolution is in the works. Unlike the protests in Greece, the Serbian protests have no class character. The left is very weak, and the protest attendees range from neonazis to liberals and communists (most likely due to the fact the protests have been organized “apolitically”). The situation in Serbia is very volatile, and the validity of these protests need to be questioned more seriously, since no matter how much they deny it, this reeks of liberal infighting. Only time will tell what the consequences of these past few months will be, and whether this will be another October 5th or just a failed mass movement.

It's unclear why the fire happened but people are speculating that he somehow set fire to the gas heaters they have in the tents.

For a while now SNS has been trying to spread a conspiracy theory that the canopy collapse was actually a terrorist attack by the opposition. It started several months ago when they platformed the estranged father of one of the canopy collapse victims at one of their big events, where he made the claim that it was a terrorist attack. Lately they have been trying to push that more, and Vucic played on TV a video of opposition politician Misa Baculov walking next to the train station looking at his phone the morning before the collapse. They have been making allegations of the opposition planting "microexplosives" on the canopy and on that on the video Baculov used a "special app which functions as a detonator" on his phone.

Today, they've been claiming that this incident was caused by the "blockaders" and Vucic called it a terrorist attack. SNS affiliated media has also been posting articles about how Baculov was seen walking towards Cacilend during the incident.

There was a big (peaceful) protest on the anniversary of the canopy collapse and there was generally a bit of revival of various activities in the protest movement around it. On the day of the anniversary, Dijana Hrka who is the mother of one of the canopy collapse victims announced that she would hold a hunger strike in front of the parliament (which also means it's in front of the Cacilend encampment) and that has been the focus lately. As a response, SNS has organized "parties" in Cacilend which were pretty obviously attempts to harass her, especially playing loud music and especially a song by Baja Mali Knindza whose title is something like "The mother came to look for her son" when translated. Also, there has been a pretty much all the time a mass of people who have come to support/guard her.
There was a potentially dangerous situation tonight because she gave the Cacilend people an ultimatum to stop playing music tonight or else she would call on people to forcefully enter Cacilend (Cacilend is surrounded by a fence) which would have very likely resulted in violent conflict. That would be pretty much the closest thing to an open to call of violence from the anti-SNS side of the protests since the beginning. I think the only other thing which could be a interpreted as a call of violence was the "you have the green light" thing for the Vidovdan protest.
Also, I think that it's pretty problematic that a single person (who is obviously not in the best state of mind) suddenly holds so much sway with the protests.

So nothing really happened regarding the stuff from my previous posts. The hunger strikers have up after two weeks and there was no big Cacilend conformation.
The student movement is still alive but probably the most dead it's been the past year. There is only one faculty which restarted its blockade, the others are operating normally in the new year except that the start of the year was late.
The NIS situation is still unresolved, I am not sure what the SNS government is planning, maybe they're just waiting for Russians to agree to a deal where NIS is sold to a third country. They floated the idea of nationalizing NIS but they have not done that yet. The oil refinery in Pancevo is stopping production because of a lack of oil, which means they're already losing money. If there is no solution in the coming months then the government will have to spend a lot of money on importing finished oil products and subsidizing the cost, or they can not subsidize it and cause an oil crisis in Serbia.
