After the recent elections in Kerala, for the first time since 1977, not a single state in India is governed by a Communist Party coalition. I took the opportunity to write a retrospective on the movement, and where it might go next, for Prometheus Magazine here: prometheus-mag.com/2026/08/27/c...

"First the traitors then the invaders" is Elon Musk endorsing an open call to prioritise political murders + assassinations before violence against migrants and minorities. Still little recognition in the UK government at the persistence of the promotion of political violence - inc murder - by Musk

I have a student son Henry Nowak’s age & I can’t imagine what it took for his family to respond outside court with the grace they did, asking that their son’s death not be used for division and hate. That Reform & Restore chose to throw that back in their faces makes me feel sick.
