There is a reason the only surviving Socialist countries such as China, Vietnam, North Korea, Cuba are all Marxist-Leninist Because they all understood this very VERY important point You can't build your socialist future until you stop the capitalist forces from destroying you

According to capitalists... A socialist country that spends its entire budget on infrastructure, hospitals, schools, housing, and food for its people is 'unrealistic' But a capitalist country going $40Trillion into debt to subsidise corporations and fund endless war is 'fiscal responsibility'

So that's why democracy under capitalism is literally impossible And that's why the only chance we have of ever seeing REAL democracy is under socialism and eventually communism Only workers who control the economy have political power The rest is illusion Anyway something to think about

To ignore the reality of practice (and history) and forever preach about a literally impossible utopian version of Marxism, is not only foolish, it directly serves the interests of capitalist imperialism. Which is, of course, the whole point 💅 Anyway something to think about.

So the reason Trotskyists and Western Marxists spend all their time attacking Stalin and Marxist-Leninism (and all the people who actually led successful Marxist revolutions) is because Western Marxism's main job is to STOP revolution.

🧵(1/3) NSW respiratory surveillance reports: 21 May 2026 Week ending 16 May 2026: 🔸COVID positivity rate: 4.1% (+0.1%) 🔸Number of laboratories reporting COVID: 3 out of 4 🔹COVID: 1,092 (+20.4%) 🔹Influenza: 435 (+28.7%) 🔹RSV: 1,815 (+15.0%) Source: health.nsw.gov.au/Infectious/c...

The image is a document titled "NSW Respiratory Surveillance Report – week ending 16 May 2026" from the NSW Government.
A prominent box at the top states: "Influenza and COVID-19 are both at a low level of activity. RSV is at a moderate level of activity."
The text contains two main sections:
• Summary: Repeats the virus activity levels and notes that 2026 influenza vaccines are available.
• Data sources and methods: Explains how NSW Health monitors respiratory viruses using PHREDSS data, wastewater surveillance, Whole Genome Sequencing, and laboratory networks. It notes that public registration of positive RATs ceased on September 30, 2023, and that data updates prevent direct comparison to previous report versions.

The image is a data table titled "Table 1: Notifications of COVID-19, influenza and RSV, NSW, tested in the week ending 16 May 2026."
An interpretation text at the top notes a past-week increase of 20.4% in COVID-19 notifications, 28.7% in influenza notifications, and 15.5% in RSV notifications.
The table breaks down total notifications and year-to-date counts for all three viruses across three main categories:
• Gender: Shows counts for Female and Male.
• Age group (years): Lists 11 age bands ranging from 0–4 to 90+.
• Local Health District of residence: Breaks down notifications across 15 regions in New South Wales (e.g., Central Coast, Northern Sydney, Western Sydney).
The final row provides the total weekly notification counts: 1,092 for COVID-19, 435 for Influenza, and 1,815 for RSV.

A bar chart shows weekly COVID-19 notifications in New South Wales from 1 November 2024 to 16 May 2026.
The vertical axis measures weekly notifications from 0 to 8,000. The horizontal axis plots the test date by month.
Key trends in the data include:
• Late 2024 to Early 2025: Activity fluctuates between 1,500 and 3,000 weekly cases.
• Winter 2025 Peak: A large wave begins in May 2025, peaking in June and July 2025 at just over 4,000 weekly notifications.
• Late 2025 to Mid-2026: Case counts steadily decline through spring, remaining consistently low under 1,000 cases per week through early 2026, with a tiny uptick in May 2026.
Would you like an alternative text description for the Influenza or RSV sections of this report if you have them?

The image contains a dual-axis line and bar chart (Figure 14) and a data table (Table 2) showing COVID-19 test positivity at NSW sentinel laboratories from 1 November 2024 to 17 May 2026.
An interpretation note at the top states that in the last week, test positivity increased to 4.1% for COVID-19, 1.5% for influenza, and 4.7% for RSV.
• Figure 14 (Chart): Light blue bars represent the number of positive tests (left axis, 0–12,000), while a dark grey line tracks the percent positive (right axis, 0–30%). Positivity peaks at 9.6% in January 2025 and 7.3% in July 2025, before flattening below 5% through early 2026, ending at 4.1% in May 2026.
• Table 2: Details the four weeks ending 17 May 2026 across 3 reporting laboratories. For the final week (17 May), it highlights 363 SARS-CoV-2 positive cases from 8,916 PCR tests, explicitly circling the 4.1% positivity rate and the 3 reporting laboratories.

US-led global capitalism managed to hobble into the 21st century. but it's now clear to anyone with a working brain that it has reached a point of profound, perhaps terminal crisis. and nothing demonstrates this as clearly as Iran

To be clear, not one single person sincerely believes that "from the river to the sea" is a genocidal or antisemitic slogan. They're just pretending to believe that in order to get new laws passed which crush free speech that is critical of a genocidal apartheid state.

When talking about the heat expected in Melbourne today, our 5yo daughter said hopefully “I won’t have to go through a 45 degree day again”. “Unfortunately you will. This will be the coolest summer you’ll experience in your life” replied dad. “Why?” We both fell silent, too heartbroken to answer.

Making capitalists “pay their fair share into society” means all of it. They do not produce. They own. Their fair share is nothing. Labor is entitled to all it creates. It’s important we understand this.
