Anti-imperialist = anti-capitalist = abolitionist (prison, police, borders, arms & armies) - unashamed to be a communist. Opposed to bullies who use ownership, gender, race, or sexuality to dominate others. Shame & dispossess the perpetrators!

Andy Burnham announces end of triple-lock on the state pension from 2030. It will be replaced by double-lock, slower growth in state pension. Full state pension is already less than 50%of the minimum wage. Poverty awaits future retirees. £500bn of taxes not collected by HMRC since 2010.

"Being seen as nasty" is a key part of the playbook of imperialists, of fascists, of Zionists; "Power" that depends on violence doesn't come from that abuse being carried out on everybody, nor even everyone in the stigmatised category - just on a sufficient number of exemplary victims.
