#RedArchives - To kick off this week's theme of 'revolutionary women', we re-publish this article from 2018 on the Dagenham machinists' strike of 1968, an event which became a turning point in the fight for equality. #IWD2021 #IWD #Marxism #Socialism

The Dagenham strike was not the first such strike, and it would certainly not be the last. However, by standing up against bosses, union officials, and even other workers, they would send a message that has stood the test of time and inspires still. #IWD2021 #IWD #Strike Image
Correction: this month's* theme.
Interested in learning more about how to fight against women's oppression? Come along to tomorrow's International Working Women's Day event 'The Origins of Women's Oppression'! #IWD2021 #IWD #Marxism #Socialism

The #OprahMeghanHarry interview has exposed the monarchy for the decrepit institution that it is. #AbolishTheMonarchy is currently trending, showing the anger that people feel towards this rotten relic. But why do we still have a monarchy? And how do we get rid of it? [A THREAD] Image
In this article from last year, we analysed the so-called 'Megxit' crisis, when Meghan and Harry took their first steps on the path to 'financial independence'. We noted that this dispute merely reflects the crisis at the heart of the British monarchy.

As we explained, "The British monarchy has always acted as window dressing for the rule of the bosses. The pomp and ceremony of the institution... are supposed to inspire awe and reverence... the state, as the repressive tool of class rule, [is] given some kind of “dignity”. Image

Leaked plans revealed that the Labour party leadership are seeking to 'rebrand' the party along 'patriotic' lines. With Starmer's approval ratings falling, the right think that cloaking themselves in Union flag bunting will win back the 'red wall'. [A THREAD]

Image: @guardian Image
As we have explained, this flag-waving rhetoric is doomed to fail: "Rather than lulling ‘Red Wall’ voters back to Labour, it plays straight into the hands of [the Tories], who will have no qualms about pulling politics even further to the right." #Starmer

What's the logical conclusion of this reheated Blairism? "The result will not be to gain the Labour Party votes, but to embolden nationalists and xenophobes, leading to a ramping up of attacks on migrants, of racism, and of imperialist military adventures." Image
