Against Vulgarising the Slogan of Self-Criticism

The slogan of self-criticism must not be regarded as something temporary and transient. Self-criticism is a specific method, a Bolshevik method, of training the forces of the Party and of the working class generally in the spirit of revolutionary development. Marx himself spoke of self-criticism as a method of strengthening the proletarian revolution. 1 As to self-criticism in our Party, its beginnings date back to the first appearance of Bolshevism in our country, to its very inception as a specific revolutionary trend in the working-class movement.

Political West’s “Divide And Rule” Strategy of Destabilizing China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).

Tina Marie (Ms. Cat)

China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is the most ambitious infrastructure and economic integration project ever devised, linking over 140 countries across Asia, Africa and Europe. Much unlike the political West, Beijing is trying to project power through economic means, a starkly different approach to that of the most aggressive power pole in human history.

How Reform Rebrands Power Without Redistributing It

Notice: This is not an endorsement of Mr. Reagan. What strikes me is how long it’s taken some folks to catch on—Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was never the political outsider she was marketed to be. I remember watching these videos years ago. Even then, it was clear her role was never to disrupt the machinery, but to redirect dissent—to shepherd disillusioned voters back into the Democratic fold. The Justice Democrats weren’t a rupture; they were a renovation.

You can’t change the system from within.

June 7 is Muammar Gaddafi’s birthday.

Tina Marie (Ms. Cat)

From the book by M. Gaddafi “Village, village. Land, land. The suicide of an astronaut and other stories” (Tripoli, 1993, pp. 65-79): “Throughout your entire life, you must resist Death… Death is a man who attacks and never goes on the defensive, even if he is defeated. He is spiteful, sometimes brave, sometimes cowardly. Sometimes, death is defeated and is forced to retreat. It does not win as a result of every attack, as is commonly believed. In how many face-to-face fights has Death become exhausted and, exhausted, retreated! Despite the wounds received in the fight against death, the stubborn opponent never gives in. And this is the superiority of life over death… The correct position is resistance, and running away from Death even abroad will not save you… However, if it has reincarnated as a woman… and we feel it with every cell of our body… then resisting it is unworthy of a man, and one should give in to it at the last moment…».

Selective Free Speech: Censorship, Hypocrisy, and the Politics of Control

Full video. Timestamp: 4:50.

Marx’s insight—”The ruling ideas of each age have ever been the ideas of its ruling class”—perfectly captures the hypocrisy of free speech under the Trump administration. While they denounced censorship when the Biden administration silenced voices questioning pandemic policies, they now weaponize state power against those protesting the war in Gaza. This contradiction reveals that their defense of free speech is not based on principle but on political utility—protecting narratives that serve their interests while suppressing dissent that threatens their agenda. By framing pandemic skepticism as truth-seeking while branding anti-war activism as dangerous, they manipulate public discourse to maintain control rather than uphold genuine democratic values. This selective enforcement isn’t new; it’s a recurring pattern in power structures, where the ruling class dictates which ideas are legitimate and which must be silenced.
