The problem is capitalism
Central Committee, Communist Party of Canada
There are a variety of explanations for the neoliberal agenda which continues to drive working people into poverty, credit card debt, homelessness and despair – and for the best way to reverse this attack.
The latest moves by the Harper Tories offer a good example of this debate. The federal government’s changes to immigration policies will bring in more temporary workers, and allow employers to pay such workers 15% below prevailing wage rates. Meanwhile, so-called “reforms” to the Employment Insurance program will compel workers to accept unsuitable job offers outside their home areas.
The labour movement and its allies have condemned these anti-working class measures. As CLC Secretary-Treasurer Hassan Yussuff warns, such policies put downward pressure on all workers’ wages.
But some critics have offered ideas for “better” ways to improve to generate economic growth. Others argue that the Tories are somehow “misguided” or “uncaring”.
The point is not that such policies are “immoral” or poorly considered. These “reforms” are necessary for big capital and compliant governments to maintain overall rates of profit by expanding the army of unemployed workers who are compelled by hunger and deprivation to accept any job at any rate of pay. From the perspective of the “1%”, these policies are absolutely justified to keep the wheels of capitalism turning.
For the working class, the immediate struggle is to block these attacks. But victory will not be achieved through temporary successes or stalemates, as long as the capitalist system itself remains in place. Sooner or later, resistance must move in the direction of replacing the economic system based on private profit, with a socialist society in which those who create the wealth are also those who have the democratic power to create a better world.

At the 13th International Meeting of Communist and Workers’ Parties
“Socialism is the Future”
Athens, Greece
(9-11 December, 2011)
Speech by head of Communist Party of Vietnam Delegation MR. NGUYEN MANH HUNG
Karl Marx in The Communist Manifesto stressed: “Communism is for us not a state of affairs which is to be established, an ideal to which reality will have to adjust itself. We call communism the real movement which abolishes the present state of things. The conditions of this movement result from the premises now in existence.” Accordingly, assessments regarding the actual situation, position, role and future prospect of the international communist and worker movement at the current stage – the first decades of the 21st century, require us to carry out assessments on a real movement, involving communist parties and workers’ parties who are in operation in countries from across the world, hold the common ideological basis of Marxism-Leninism, scientific socialism, share common political goals and coordinate operations with each other for the victory of socialism and communism.
In that real movement, the cause of building socialism and defending the socialist Fatherland of the people in socialist countries, including our Vietnam, is a manifestation of scientific socialism, a common achievement of the revolutionary cause to advance the human society to a new form of socio-economic organization. The reality of the world’s history since the Great October Revolution of 1917 shows the fact that every success or misstep, failure, every advance or set-back of socialism does affect and have profound impacts on the international communist and worker movement. A typical example is the collapse of the socialist system in the Soviet Union and Eastern European countries 20 years ago.
Looking back upon developments of the international communist and worker movement over the past 20 years, it is an undeniable reality that though still facing various internal obstacles and challenges and many plots and acts of “peaceful evolution”, intervention, sabotage, subversion by imperialist and hostile forces, the socialist system in Vietnam and few remaining socialist countries who survived the collapse of the Soviet Union does not only stay firm but also experience new development widely recognized in the world, evidenced by their great achievements of historical significance. The position and strength of socialism are now different from those in the 1990s amidst the collapse of the Soviet Union and tend to further grow.
Let’s look at Vietnam as an example: Vietnam was a food importer in the 1990s and had to import more or less 1.5 tons a year. The country now is one of the world’s three biggest food exporters (its rice export volume in 2011 amounting to 7 million tons). According to statistics released by the International Monetary Fund in September 2011, Vietnam’s 2011 GDP reaches an estimate of USD122.567 billion, increasing by 16 times from that in 1991 (at USD7.642 billion) at the time of the Soviet Union’s collapse. In the context of the global financial crisis and economic recession, the country has continuedly obtained relatively high economic growth rates of 6.2% in 2008, 5.32% in 2009, 6.8% in 2010 and 5.8% in 2011.
The reality of the past 20 years also shows that with lessons drawn from the successes and failures of the socialist system in the Soviet Union and Eastern European countries and with the experiences in building socialism in their own countries, socialist countries have been actively seeking and creating, both theoretically and practically, their own models and paths for building socialism in accordance with the conditions and situation of their respective countries and nations and with changes of the world. As for Vietnam as well as other socialist countries, a breaking-through development in the theoretical thinking and practices of building socialism and defending socialist Fatherland is the development of market economy and active integration in the international economy for socio-economic development and the building of material-technical base of socialist society.
On the one hand, according to Marxist-Leninist interpretations and other economic theories as well, “commodity”, “money” and “market” are historic categories associated with a certain development stage of the productive forces of the human society. These categories does not exist with far lower levels of development of the productive forces (such as primitive society and the early phase of slave society) and are bound to disappear with very higher levels of development the productive forces of the human society (such as in communist society, according to scientific predictions of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, etc.). As such, the development of market economy and international integration for socio-economic development and the building of material-technical base of socialism is an objective requirement which is determined by the current level of development of the productive forces of the human society and at the same time a right orientation for socialism to undergo self-renovation and development. It should not be held that market economy is exclusive for capitalism and is absolutely incompatible with socialism.
On the other hand, the reality in Vietnam and other socialist countries in the past decades, mentioned above with figures, has tested and proved the soundness of the development of market economy and active international economic integration for socio-economic development and the building of material-technical base of socialist society.
What we aim to make a stress on is that Vietnam’s socialist-oriented market economy is totally different from the market economy in western capitalist countries. Our market economy is an organized one under the leadership of the Communist Party and the management of the Socialist State, constrains and minimizes the spontaneity of the market and aims to continuously improve people’s living standards for the best interest of the majority of the people and for the sake of sustainable development of the country. In the current context of economic crisis and recession, while the whole world is coming up again with discussions on issues related to the necessity to intensify the role of the state in economic management and the need for sound awareness and effective handle of the relations between economic growth and social justice and progress as well as for harmonious combination between economic policies and social policies, etc., those issues have all been of constant concern in Vietnam and other socialist countries and witnessed various achievements. In the socialist-oriented market economy developed by Vietnam, the state economic sector plays the leading role and, together with the collective economic sector, increasingly become the firm base for the national economy; the State plays a management role over the economy, directs, regulates and boosts socio-economic development by means of laws, strategies, overall plans and plans, policies and other material forces. A constant position of the Party and State of Vietnam is to effectively implement social justice and progress and to ensure social security in each individual development step and policy.
The 11th National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam held in January 2011 affirmed: “The socialist society that the people of Vietnam build is one where the people are prosperous, the country is strong, democratic, equitable and advanced; a society owned by the people; with a highly developed economy based on modern productive forces and advanced, compatible relations of production; an advanced culture profoundly imbued with national identity; a society where people enjoy a life of plenty, freedom and happiness, and conditions for a comprehensive development; the different ethnic groups in the Vietnamese community are equal and united, respect and help each other for shared development; a society with a socialist law-governed state of the people, by the people, and for the people under the leadership of the Communist Party; with friendly and cooperative relations with the people of other countries in the world.”
The 11th National Party Congress adopted the “Political Programme for National Construction during the Period of Transition to Socialism (supplemented and developed in 2011)”, the “10-year Socio-Economic Development Strategy for 2011-2020” and the “5-year Socio-economic Development Plan for 2011-2015”. Our immediate goal is to develop Vietnam into basically a modernity-oriented industrial country by 2020 and a modern industrial country by the mid-21st century, steadily moving towards socialism.
The Communist Party of Vietnam takes Marxism-Leninism and Ho Chi Minh Thought as its ideological basis; is consistent in its goals of national independence and socialism. Our people’s cause of building socialism and firmly defending the socialist Fatherland of Vietnam still faces various obstacles and challenges but will definitely end up with victory. The revolutionary cause of the entire Party and people of Vietnam in the previous struggle for national liberation and the present building of socialism and defence of the socialist Fatherland have always received great and precious support and assistance from communist and workers’ parties, progressive forces and people from all over the world. On this occasion, I would like to once again express our thanks to representatives of the parties attending the Meeting.
We can see that although the historical evolution of development of the human society still goes through a tortuous path, in the first decades of the 21st century the advance of the human society from socialist form of socio-economic organization to communist form, the first stage of which is socialism, will occur at a stronger rate than that in the past period dated back to the crisis in and collapse of the Soviet Union and Eastern European countries. Next developments of the situation will much depend on the growth of socialist countries, on the extent to which socialism demonstrates its nature of humanity and emancipation as well as on socialism’s capability to make use of achievements of human civilization for the freedom and equality of people, for the sake of democracy and social justice and progress.
Thank you for your attention./.

The clouds of war are gathering. No involvement! No participation!
The Communist Party of Greece (KKE)
1. The capitalist crisis, the difficulties in its management in the European Union -particularly in the Eurozone as well as in the USA-, its consequences even in countries that still have high development rates reinforce the competition, the contradictions and the imperialist aggressiveness in Southeastern Asia, in the Caspian Sea and Central Asia, in Africa and Latin America.
The developments in Eastern Mediterranean and the wider region are particularly dangerous. This fact is shown by the realization of the imperialist plan aiming at the extension of the activity of the big business groups of the EU member- states and the USA in the Middle East, North Africa, the Persian gulf as well as regarding the acquisition of geostrategic advantages in the competition with Russia, China, the alliance of BRICS that threaten the USA’s primacy in the imperialist pyramid.
This situation is combined with the channeling of capital into military conflicts as a means of controlling the capitalist crisis.
The developments are constantly and more persistently showing the relation capitalism-crisis-war.
2. The main objective of each imperialist power is the control and the exploitation of natural resources, oil, natural gas, water, energy pipelines and transport “arteries” in order for the monopolies to increase their profits by acquiring bigger shares in the markets.
This is the underlying goal of the imperialist wars which were launched by the USA, the NATO and the EU -with Great Britain and France at the forefront- in Afghanistan in 2001, in Iraq in 2003 and recently in Libya. These wars were organized and waged by using the pretexts of “combating terrorism”, of “providing humanitarian aid” and other things which are being used today in the preparation of the new imperialist war against Syria and Iran.
3. The military conflict in Syria, which started in March 2011 and has caused the death of thousands of people, is constantly throwing up new elements, developments, which are connected to the foreign intervention in the internal affairs of Syria and the conflict of regional and global imperialist powers under the conditions of the global capitalist crisis.
After the three vetoes over the recent months by Russia and China in the Security Council which in this way prevented the international “legitimization” of the foreign military intervention for the overthrow of the Assad regime, we see the strengthening of the operation of the USA, NATO, Arab League , France as well as of the “regional players” particularly Turkey, Qatar and Saudi Arabia regarding the arming and the more general support of the armed anti-regime forces.
The positions on the “no-fly zones”, the “zones for the protection of the refugees” as well as the recognition of the government of the anti-regime forces are part of the plan to prepare the imperialist attack.
At the same time, the fact that Obama invokes the danger of the Assad regime using weapons of mass destruction (chemical, biological), which the USA regards as a “line in the sand”, prepares the ground for a possible provocation and military intervention, as in the case of Iraq.
In the framework of the planned military intervention, the imperialist powers are concentrating aerial and naval forces in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Persian Gulf.
A basic factor which has hindered and impeded the military intervention of the USA, NATO, EU in Syria up until now, is Russia’s stance in particular which possesses a military base in the Syrian port of Tartus, as well as the stance of China which support the Syrian regime.
The stance of these powers is determined by the major economic, military and political interests in the region of the Eastern Mediterranean, the Persian Gulf, and Central Asia, which are at stake if the regimes in Syria and Iran are overthrown and replaced by political forces which will place obstacles in the cooperation with China-Russia.
The basic supporters of the Syrian government are Iran and Hezbollah. Iran, which is aware that if the Assad government is overthrown the noose will be tightened around it, is already providing political, economic and military support to Syria.
The armed conflict in Syria and the more general confrontation which has already gripped the surrounding regions as is demonstrated by the conflicts in Lebanon as well as in Southeastern Turkey. The situation has been exacerbated by the reactions triggered by the provocational film in the USA, which has insulted the islamists.
The sharpening of the imperialist aggressiveness against Iran has escalated in recent months with the embargo on oil exports and other interventions aimed at overthrowing its leadership.
These interventions and pressure for the delaying and cancellation of Iran’s nuclear programme are combined with the threats and plans of Israel to bomb Iran’s nuclear facilities.
It is becoming even more obvious that a change in Syria, as well as a weakening of Hezbollah in Lebanon, will facilitate the Israeli plans for an attack against Iran, which if the6y are implemented could lead to a generalized war in our region with grave consequences, human losses and material destruction, new waves of refugees and immigrants.
4. The events which began 18 months ago in Syria are rooted in the economic, social and political problems within the country which the working class and other popular strata are experiencing. Problems which have been exacerbated in recent years, due to the political line of capitalist restructurings ( privatizations, the reduction of the labour and popular rights and income)which are promoted in the interests of the domestic bourgeois class so that it can improve its position in the international capitalist market.
At the same time there was the attempt of an imperialist intervention in the internal affairs of Syria by the USA, EU, NATO, Israel, Turkey, Qatar and Saudi Arabia. It has become obvious that the USA, EU, Israel, are interested in destabilization and weakening the balance of forces inside the Syrian bourgeois regime, because its leadership is an ally of forces in Palestine, Lebanon and is opposed to imperialist positions and plans for the region which are being promoted by the USA, NATO and Israel, which is still occupying Palestinian, Syrian and Lebanese territory.
The weakening of the Syrian regime, or even its overthrow, can whet the appetite not only for the imperialist plans to attack Iran but for a new dismemberment of states in the region, for a domino effect of destabilization and bloodshed, something that will bring about new imperialist wars and interventions.
In conclusion we can say that the celebrations of bourgeois and opportunist forces regarding the so-called “Arab Spring” were baseless, underestimated or concealed the imperialist aims of the plans for a “New Middle East”, as well as the objectives of the bourgeois classes of these countries to defuse and manipulate the people’s reactions and to safeguard the perpetuation of the capitalist regimes. This conclusion is borne out by amongst other things the developments in Tunisia and Egypt, which moreover has enhanced its role in the region.
In these conditions the KKE stresses that Syria’s course is an internal matter and our party focuses on the most important element, which at this time is the imperialist war and similar interventions in the region, with Greece’s participation also. Our opposition to a possible imperialist intervention in Syria or a similar attack against Iran does not mean retreating from the critical attitude our party maintains in relation to the bourgeois regimes of these countries.
5. The situation is becoming complicated due to the sharpening of the competition which has been provoked over the hydrocarbons in Cyprus’ EEZ, the exploration for these in the region of Greece, as well as the tension in Israeli-Turkish relations.
Israel is seeking to offset the break down of relations with Turkey through the upgrading its intervention (economic, political, military) in Cyprus and Greece. Its plans were promoted during the summer by the repeated visits of its officials to Greece and Cyprus.
6. Our party states to the working class and the peoples in the region that their interests are identified with the joint anti-imperialist- anti-monopoly struggle, for disengagement from the imperialist organizations, the removal of foreign military bases and nuclear weapons, the return home of military forces from imperialist missions and the integration of this struggle in the struggle for power. It is on this basis that the peoples can live peacefully, creatively and use the natural resources which will become the property of the people for their own benefit and to satisfy their own needs.
Now the struggle to prevent any involvement, any participation of our country in the imperialist wars must be strengthened!

South African Communist Party Statements on the Violence Surrounding the Rustenburg Mines
SACP North West Media Statement
17 August 2012
Arrest Mathunjwa and Steve Kholekile as the basis for stability in the Rustenburg mines and institute Presidential Investigation Task Team, says SACP North West.
The SACP NW joins all South Africans in mourning and passing our deep condolences to all Mineworkers killed in the platinum mines in Rustenburg as the result of anarchic, violent, intimidation, murder of workers and NUM shopstewards. The chaos has been initiated under the guise of salary increase demands when in real terms it is the chaos and anarchy we see is being used as the entry point of recruitment for AMCWU. As the SACP we want to state categorically that it should have not been allowed until when death rises for law enforcement agencies and the nation’s leadership to take serious this barbaric act co-ordinated and deliberately organized by AMCWU leader Mr. Mathunjwa and Steve Kholekile who both are former NUM members expelled because of anarchy though at different times.
Before proceeding to get into the detail of this tragedy, we call on an immediate arrest of both Steve Kholekile and Mr Mathunjwa as co-ordinators, planners and leaders of this anarchic and worker to worker violence that has left many lives dead and some injured, and this applies to where they started and not only the current Lonmin process. Mr Mathunjwa could present an innocent face and try to smooth talk himself out of the crisis but we know him for who he is. He should not be allowed to perpetrate violence and appear as an innocent mediator.
We therefore call for a special Presidential Commission to investigate but not limited to: violent nature and anarchy associated with AMCWU wherever it establishes itself (starting with the scars that it has left around Witbank/Mpumalanga where it started), possible breach of both the Labour Relations Act and the SA Constitution on the freedom of association and right to form or join a union of your choice, the role of management of both Impala and Lonmin in the current problems or as facilitating the breach of both the Labour Relations Act and the Constitution, the role of the department of Labour and CCMA, possibilities of amendments to strengthen the LRA on the formation of unions as opposed to the current situation where individuals are allowed to form union like opening personal accounts or joining insurance policies as the current case with AMCWU and Mathunjwa, and the comrades who when they were supposed to be disciplined by Satawu they then formed their own union.
The SACP NW calls on workers to remain united in their fight against the exploitation under the capitalist system. Workers must realize that the class enemy is the system and not a union of NUM’s caliber or other workers. Workers must desist any temptation to mobilise them against NUM or to mobilise them to attack each other. Workers must not kill each other on the basis of demagogy and lies. Employers count loses on production and mineworkers and the working class count loses on injuries on human lives.
Issued on behalf of the SACP North West.

SACP statement on the violence at Lonmin
14 August 2012
The SACP is shocked and dismayed at the reports of violence at the mining houses of Lonmin. Our heartfelt condolences to family, friends and relatives who have lost their loved ones in this spate of insensible attacks directed at settling workplace differences.
The South African workers cannot under democracy continue to live in fear of associating freely especially given our history with the mining sector specifically wherein under apartheid tribal wars and killings where the order of the day. Many activists in the mining sector lost lives fighting for trade union rights. It cannot be that today people resort to violence to force mine workers to join a particular union.
The mine bosses must take responsibility for their complicity in endeavors to undermine the NUM and provide a fertile ground for anarchy to prevail in the mines. Had the bosses acted in good faith within agreed parameters of agreements this would have not seen the light of the day. These greedy bosses, in their quest for profits the acted outside the scope of bargaining agreements and ended up with blood in their hands instead of more money.
It has become clear to the SACP that those who have an ulterior motive to undermine the political and bargaining power of the NUM have now resorted to violence, including taking away life, in order to diminish the strength of the union. The law enforcement agencies have also been found wanting greatly in this regards. This calls for the NUM to take extra measures to secure life of its members unless its proud role will be wiped out by the bullet.
The SACP calls on the police to act swiftly and bring to book these hooligans who have substituted reason and dialogue for bullets.

SACP Spokesperson
anyone here from S.S.S ?
Hi
Ready and willing to build from MPU, comrades!
Welcome comrade, though do to the democratic nature of the S.S.S. this region’s future is not exactly definite yet.
Comrades;
All nations are welcome to move here, though if the vote for the S.S.S. to move here fails nations will be ejected and the region will become a "memorial region" until further interest is revived in the S.S.S.
On the other hand if the vote in the S.S.S. passes, on October 1st 2012 our first and only "appointed provisional government" will look similar to this;
Ruzslava
Rebel Youth
Burkia
Righteous wavists
Sprakia
This government will last close to a month or until we have the region prepared for real democratic elections.
All regional "provisional" government comrades are equal and will have equal voice to design the regions flag, constitution, forums, and policies before the democratic government is elected.
The new democratic "elected" government of the future can change the policies set forth by the "appointed" provisional government but only through democratic centralism and not unilaterally.
The Sovereign Socialist States has voted to move here and help lay the foundation for the region.
I want to encourage all nations to introduce themselves and speak up about the changes you would like to see to the region.
Comrades from Marxist Proletariat Union have also decided to join us and will arrive shortly as well as comrades from First Nations who will also help to form the very essential beginnings for the region - for "The Party".
Welcome comrades on this great occasion!
Welcome and rejoice!
For today we laid the foundation of The Communist Party of Nationstates, a new influential and truly revolutionary region!
so what is our next move/activity?
I think that we'll just wait another day or two Comrade Przar, we are still expecting comrades from Marxist Proletarian Union who will arrive shortly I assume.
We'll define the first tasks for the region once the regional government arrives.
Please feel free to put forward any contributions, possible flag designs, WFE write-ups, or constitutional ideas for the region.
I'd also like to welcome Comrade 
Golanchia joining us from USSR, a well respected and educated comrade from that region.
Comrade United marxist nations, another brilliant mind from USSR that joins us!
Good to see you comrade, and welcome to The Communist Party of Nationstates!
What I would hope we make clear for the group:
1. We won't kick you out if you are an anarchist (or anything really), but this group is primarily staffed by and run for Anti-Revisionist Marxist-Leninists, which (IMHO) should include Maoists.
2. It is the general opinion of that Anarcho-Communism and other forms of Ultraleftist revisionism (Council Communism, Eurocommunism, Reformism etc) are, at best, revolutionary dead ends, and, at worst, insidious bourgeois reactionary movements aimed at eroding support for the establishment of scientific socialism via Marxism-Leninism.
3. That Democratic Centralism consists of EQUAL PARTS democracy and CENTRALISM.
4. To quote Chairman Mao: "A revolution is not a dinner party, or writing an essay, or painting a picture, or doing embroidery; it cannot be so refined, so leisurely and gentle, so temperate, kind, courteous, restrained and magnanimous. A revolution is an insurrection, an act of violence by which one class overthrows another. " Of course no one loves repression or violence, but it is oftentimes necessary for the establishment and maintenance of a Proletarian state against the powerful and persistent reactionary classes. Only a Communist Party that is IN POWER has the ability to improve the material conditions of the working class through socialism. The enemies of the Revolution are barbarians, and they cannot be handled with kid gloves.
Well said, Golanchia. I'd like to add one more thing. Hopefully everyone here can have at least two nations: one to stay here and another to participate in another leftist region. In this way we won't isolate ourselves from the rest of the game's residents. After all, we want to export our philosophy.
By the way, Marxist historian Eric Hobsbawm died yesterday.
@Golanchia: My thoughts exactly, comrade.
I am Sprakia.
This is a public announcement that I, 
Khanatah, have created and moved this puppet to this region as a means of solidarity.
Sincerely in Solidarity
What a great way to end the history of The Sovereign Socialist States, I'm so proud of you Comrade V Ming/ Rebel Youth for not letting it go out with a whimper and creating a whole new "bang".
Great to see comrades from USSR, you know me as The communist party ns - this regions namesake but I am also the former founder of one of your embassies, the SSS.
This region will be like no other!
This is what a revolutionary region looks like!
In peace and solidarity
RPJess
Hamilton, Ontario, Communist Party of Canada
Hey, sorry guys I expired. I'm back, I like the new place.
Welcome comrades new and old;
One of the first items on the agenda for the provisional government is the World Factbook Entry;
"The vanguard of Nationstates working class and student activist movement for peace, democracy and socialism. Created by the The Sovereign Socialist States for the revolutionaries of Nationstates, merged with Marxist Proletariat Union, First Nations and comrades from USSR and Maoism Third Worldism
An anti-revisionist Marxist-Leninist region standing behind the world's 118 Communist Party and revolutionary youth organizations in over 80 countries worldwide.
This is my "base proposal", I'd like comrades to add their own proposals or criticize (add to / subtract from) mine, this will be voted on in 5 days times (October 7th 2012).
Please make suggestions on the RMB and a copy of each will be sent to the Provisional Government for discussion and final vote.
World Factbook Entry
proposals, discuss/amend, vote
create near October 7
Revolutionary regards;
I think that your four points are wonderful Comrade Golanchia and hope that we can maybe shorten them to be more "point form" and include them in the constitutional document for the region in progress.
Welcome Comrade Mehtocracy / Khanatah W.A.D. of USSR!
Comrade Ruzslava makes a valuable point, it is our duty as communists to "swim with the fish" and interact with the masses. Exposure to revolutionary class theory and discussion can raise revolutionary class consciousness. Comrades should continue the two year long entrenchment into the USSR and continue to keep the region politically active and important, nations may also go to North Korea or any region they choose to help protect the current political agenda's of the Marxist regions.
Comrades are also encouraged to act covertly when in regions where Marxism-Leninism is a pejorative word and to support an established M-L minority if one exists. If there is no such support, comrades are encouraged to weigh out possible controversy, pro's and cons before any action is taken.
Thank you for acknowledging Eric Hobsbawm comrade Condemmed, while I'm not familiar with his work I'm looking forward to doing a bit of reading and learning more.
Thank you comrade The vanguard of the proletariat for the compliments, all would not be possible without you.
Comrade Anti-colonialism welcome back, we've missed you.
Comrades please make your voices heard on our WFE! (my post above this one)
