That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.

Here's former First Lady and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton saying that President Trump's plan to increase American birthrates is a joke - that's what illegal immigrants are for:
"This is another performance about concerns they allegedly have for family life... Return to the nuclear family, return to being a Christian nation, return to producing a lot of children. Which is sort of odd, because the people who produce the most children in our country are immigrants, and they want to deport them.
One of the reasons why our economy gets so much better than comparable advance economies... is because we actually had a replenishment because we had a lot of immigrants - legally and undocumented - who had a, you know, larger than normal family." minds.com/newsfeed/17708577843โฆ

Als jemand, der seit Jahrzehnten sehr genau hinsieht, auch auf die Grรคueltaten, erkenne ich vor allem Verkรผrzungen in dem momentanen Aussprechen vom Dagegensein.
Wer kann nicht moralisch dagegen sein?
Und wie kann es gelingen, trotzdem anzuerkennen, dass ein Aufgeben der Hamas am akuten Zustand etwas รคndern wรผrde und dass es in diesem Krieg genau darum geht?
Das steht m.E. vรถllig auรer Frage und ist komplett verstรคndlich.
Unter dieser Perspektive mรผssten wir uns dann nur den Vorwurf machen, an anderen Orten der Welt nicht so genau hinzusehen und ausgerechnet den Israel-Palรคstina-Konflikt in den Fokus zu nehmen (auch das haben wir gelernt und uns nicht selbst ausgesucht; ist also kein realer Vorwurf).

How absolutely inhumane, gross, and offensive to wash genocide with a few smiles and an apparently innocent video that carries a very strong message that won't be understood by most.

I've been using my gosun sport solar oven quite a bit lately, primarily for baguettes (in my area, bread is really expensive and most of the breads for sale are fluffy, sweet, white breads. I've got my baguette process pretty streamlined, so on a sunny day, if I start in the morning, I can have fresh bread by lunch.)
This is the first time I've tried baking sweets in it! I had some old bananas, so it was time to make banana bread!
Of course I chose a cloudy day to do this, so each batch took 4 hours. Also I think the recipe I used didn't have enough baking soda because it didn't really rise. I lined the baking tray with wax paper so it wouldn't stick.
Anyway, it worked and came out tasty! It almost seemed like it was steamed vs baked. Will definitely make again on a sunny day!

Stalin: That "Left" camouflage of opportunist actions has been one of the most characteristic features of all the various opposition trends in our Party during the period since the seizure of power. What is the explanation of this phenomenon? The explanation lies in the revolutionary spirit of the proletariat of the U.S.S.R., the profound revolutionary traditions that are deep-seated in our proletariat. The explanation lies in the downright hatred in which anti-revolutionary and opportunist elements are held by the workers of the U.S.S.R. The explanation lies in the fact that our workers will simply not listen to an open opportunist, and that therefore the "revolutionary" camouflage is a bait designed to attract, if only by its outward appearance, the attention of the workers and to inspire them with confidence in the opposition. wordsmith.social/protestation/โฆ

Lenin: When the working class has learned how to defend the state system against the anarchy of small ownership, when it has learned to organise large-scale production on a national scale, along state capitalist lines, it will hold, if I may use the expression, all the trump cards, and the consolidation of socialism will be assured. In the first place, ๐๐๐ค๐ฃ๐ค๐ข๐๐๐๐ก๐ก๐ฎ, state capitalism is immeasurably superior to our present economic system. In the second place, there is nothing terrible in it for Soviet power, for the Soviet state is a state in which the power of the workers and the poor is assured. The โLeft Communistsโ failed to understand these unquestionable truths, which, of course, a โLeft Socialist-Revolutionaryโ, who cannot connect any ideas on political economy in his head in general, will never understand, but which every Marxist ๐ข๐ช๐จ๐ฉ admit. It is not even worth while arguing with a Left Socialist-Revolutionary. It is enough to point to him as a โrepulsive exampleโ of a windbag. But the โLeft Communistsโ must be argued with because it is Marxists who are making a mistake, and an analysis of their mistake will help the ๐ฌ๐ค๐ง๐ ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐ก๐๐จ๐จ to find the true road. wordsmith.social/protestation/โฆ
