donaloc@lemmy.mlto COVID-19 Pandemic@lemmy.ml•Each SARS-CoV-2 reinfection causes more severe disease0·3 years agoAm I reading that table wrong? It seems to show a much higher fatality rate for those who have been vaccinated including for heart conditions??
Instead of what? Most states have income support measures or a social welfare regime already. Are they going to be anything better? What will impact be on collective organisation of working-class?
donaloc@lemmy.mlto Communism@lemmygrad.ml•James Klugmann's story on the anti-communist character of Trotskyism0·3 years agoClearly the enemies of the Soviet Union might be expected to proceed with the logic of ‘the enemy of my enemy is my friend’ - of course, it is a false logic for Marxists. The Kerenskyists and even Monarchists claimed the same about Lenin and the Bolsheviks seeking to associate them with the Germans - Lenin rightly destroyed them.
Trotsky remained true to Leninist norms, certainly by comparison to Stalin who basically ditched them all. Trotsky believed that the only way for the SU to overcome nazism and fascism was for the working class to overthrow the bureaucracy as it was a barrier to struggle. He did not think the Stalinist state could survive the war. Of course, history proved differently to his forecast: primarily as a result of the ‘total war’ specificities of the war and the underlying strength of socialist economy and the consciousness that flowed from it. Trotsky’s works from 1923-32 are absorbed with with the challenge if defeating fascism as well as imperialism.
UBI is a con job of the liberals.
No she was always an imperialist cheerleader.
