The Third Red Scare has strong Spider-Man 3 vibes, unnecessary sequel, and just a bit weird! ...here's hoping it can kill off a franchise 🤣

So in my local area it is either the Greens who are active (around election time) or mostly Trots that are a bit more active week in week out. ...are the Trots really that bad?

Off to soft play! Thought about bringing John Reed's 'Ten Days That Shook the World' to finally finish it... ...but let's be real, the only thing shaking today is me trying to climb out of a ball pit while dodging feral toddlers.

Keep seeing a board game about the Terror of the French Revolution being advertised...hoping they do a sequel with the Russian revolution 😅

You care about one famous old lady. I care about the thousands of poor, frail old ladies who died under the brutal austerity she championed, while telling them to skip cheese sandwiches. Forgiving class enemies isn't "being better," it's being a traitor. Rest in piss.

I have no compassion for Ann Widdecombe. She spent decades weaponizing the state to inflict brutal, systemic violence against the working class. This is the woman who told starving people to skip cheese sandwiches if they couldn't afford them, while she enjoyed a lavish, state-funded lifestyle.

Oh my gosh it is ridiculously hot! I was in Aberdeenshire today, walking about Aboyne and I had flashbacks to being on holiday...in Greece! It was that hot 🥵

It’s never too early to teach them about Reform or Revolution! Got this copy of "Little Rosa Luxemburg Starts a Big Revolution" today. The toddler approves!
The book is Little Rosa Luxemburg Starts a Big Revolution by Nathaniel Flakin and Motow. Recommended for Little Bolsheviks aged 3 to 6

Recently I've swapped Oban's mountains, lochs and ferries for the big(ish) city of Dundee. It's a very different pace of life, but I'm enjoying discovering somewhere new. It's still slightly mind-blowing that everything is only 10 minutes away.

I'm sitting in a wetherspoons and someone across the pub is complaining about landlords and saying how China is better and...I'm all here for it. Nobody else at his table is and my crushing social anxiety means I won't say anything either 😅

Reading R. Palmer Dutt's Fascism and Social Revolution and blimey! It's scary how relevant it is to modern Britain! "Today they are burning the means of human life [austerity]. Tomorrow they will be burning living human bodies [in war]." From 1935!

Got some garbage through my door today. Not standing in the by-election next month… and didn’t contest the Scottish election either. Just printing leaflets for… fun, apparently 🙄

Labour rallying round Starmer was entirely predictable. Sarwar’s move just exposes how poor a political operator he is. There was never any chance Starmer would go before the Denton by-election, and even after that, he’d likely stagger on until May.

It’s wild how quickly the “don’t tread on me” crowd became “comply or die.” From “school shootings are the price of the 2nd Amendment” to “he should’ve stayed home.” From “Kyle Rittenhouse is a hero” to “you can’t carry a gun, per the 2nd.”

Did another open mic standup. Apparently, the room wasn't ready for a 5-minute deconstruction of Santa’s gender identity, and a few people found the Trump/Clinton material 'hard to swallow.' Aside from the palpable sense of local resentment, I’d say it went well. 😅

So I'm looking forward to my next open mic night...it's meant to be a festive edition. I was told by the organiser to write a Christmas joke... But all I've done is written a bunch of Dick Chaney is dead jokes 🫣

So last night was a great success. Got a few laughs at the neo-liberal Trojan horse propaganda that is Paw Patrol. Today, I’ve been researching the curriculum for next months lecture....er I mean routine. I’ve written jokes about how Doctor Who has gone woke... since 1963.

Well tonight is the open mic night. I have no actual talent so it will be an attempt at standup comedy. The good people of the local community centre will receive a lecture on the fascist undercurrents of Paw Patrol. Pray for me. Or pray for the audience.

Later portrayed by Meryl Streep in the 1983 movie Silkwood, also starring Cher and Kurt Russell. Shockingly, I’ve never seen it! Been on my list for years, looks like I’ll have to track down a DVD soon!

#RadicalReels Peterloo (2018) A powerful drama of the 1819 Manchester massacre. Peaceful protesters, 60,000 strong, demanded suffrage and workers’ rights, and were violently attacked by the yeomanry. Great cinematography and strong acting from Rory Kinnear and others.

Over Halloween, I started diving into some classic Hammer Horror movies. I’ve always loved Peter Cushing in Doctor Who and the Daleks, so it was amazing to see him in some of his most iconic roles. Now that Halloween’s passed, I’ve stuck on The Hound of the Baskervilles.

Been digging into some family history and uncovered a shocking truth! My great-great grandad was a communist 😨 Turns out he stood in council elections for the CPGB, and was even the AEU’s secretary for Scotland. AEU later became Unite Just picked up this 1920s AEU badge to honour the old comrade

When they say that socialism "doesn't work because people are selfish" I always ask them what happens when working class people are collectively selfish. As a selfish working class person, I don't give a shit about "creating shareholder value" when I don't own the shares!

Some guy told me today that socialism inevitably leads to communism… because it’s in human nature 🤣 As if that’s a bad thing. Funny though, usually they say greed and exploitation are human nature 🙄

Been thinking about writing an essay/guide on 'combative careers advice.' As a qualified careers adviser, I’ve watched guidance become a tool for managing workers through crisis not helping them resist it. What would class-conscious, anti-capitalist careers advice look like though...

This is a cool front page.... I just wish Mamdani was as radical as they make him out to be 😅 What's wrong with a city that's affordable for regular people? Also I can definitely see a third red scare happening over the next few years.

It really can’t be said enough: Zohran Mamdani overcame huge odds. He defeated a political dynasty, backed by numerous lobbies and 26 billionaires, and ran against a candidate with establishment support from both parties. Yet he still pulled off a historic win.

There will be plenty of people, Democrats and Republicans alike, desperate for Mamdani to fail. Different parties, same bosses.

They say never speak ill of the dead, but the dead can’t hear you, and the living deserve the truth. Dick Cheney’s “patriotism” meant war crimes, torture, and a world set on fire for profit, a true friend who’d shoot you in the face with a shotgun. Rest in piss, architect of empire.

When has the monarchy ever caved to public pressure? Never. Stripping Andrew’s titles is just damage control. I have a feeling the Andrew Windsor–Epstein story isn’t finished yet and they are trying to get ahead of something.
