In case of any doubt that democratic socialists should not see the Morning Star as part of our movement, here’s its international editor promoting antisemitic, Covid-denying conspiracy wingnut Vanessa Beeley. (HT @ljwnorth.)
(If you don’t know Beeley, read @Brian_Whit in @newlinesmag: newlinesmag.com/argument/the-e…
Hadn’t realised the Morning Star’s international editor also writes for the neo-Nazi website Veterans Today (syndicated, it seems, from Hezbollah’s Al-Mayadeen). (HT @Vorkoz)
Vanessa Beeley thinks Kristallnacht was a Mossad false flag (HT @ronantynan @WTarbiat)
A whole YouTube channel of examples of Beeley working closely with fascists such as Alain Soral and the AfD (HT @InvestigadoraP)
Oops apologies to @ronantynan and @RonanLTynan for mix-up in above tweet!
By the way, this is the party which dictates the Morning Star’s political line (HT @Pabloite)

This ruling about the BBC’s brilliant Mayday series, prompted by a complaint by the Mail’s Peter H1tchens, has been receiving a lot of attention in the far right/conspiracist scene and Russian media. A short thread on why it’s actually a nothingburger…

First, some background:
In April 2018, a rebel-held suburb of Damascus, Douma, was brutally bombed from the air by the government. Two chemical weapon incidents were reported. Dozens died. The next day the rebels surrendered.
This was just one of many chemical attacks in Syria. Think tank @GPPi investigated hundreds, almost all of them credibly attributed to Assad’s government. gppi.net/2019/02/17/the… ImageImage

Got an insight into the tankie mind today as a result of replying critically to the DSA’s International Committee @DSA_Intl_Comm, which seems to think internationalism means unconditionally supporting authoritarian governments. ImageImageImageImage
I mean I think internationalism means unconditionally supporting the global working class in struggle, and if you spend 60 years “building socialism” you’d at least find the time to allow trade unions to exist, but I guess not.
Also the “libertarian” capitalists, who basically define socialism in an identical way to how the tankies do. ImageImage

I’ve always been confused about why there’s a section of the “left” who think The American Conservative is good actually.

(Examples after the fold.)
Like these guys… ImageImageImageImage
Or these ones… ImageImageImageImage

A thread on this week’s presidential “election” in Syria:
The Syrian government says 14 million people voted, 95% for Assad. The population is 18 m but 40% are under 18. 3-4 m live in opposition areas, 2 m in autonomous Kurdish lands, neither of which voted...
...Expatriates could vote if they left the country legally, but not in Turkey or Germany. Less than 1/24 the 1.2 m refugees in Lebanon voted.

I’m not great at maths but that looks to me like something like twice as many people voted as there are people eligible to vote.

You’ve probably all heard of Spiked (Koch-funded, formerly the Revolutionary Communist Party/Living Marxism) and its recent roles in Farage’s Brexit Party (Baroness Fox) & Boris’ Tories (Munira Mirza). I hadn’t realised they’re standing in next week’s election… [1/7]
…Niall Crowley, a long-term activist in all their fronts (see pics) is standing in the #Hackney by-election in Hoxton East and Shoreditch ward, this time as an independent on an anti-LTN ticket... [2/7]
…Martyn Perks is standing in #Islington in Bunhill ward, also as an independent against LTNs. He’s another veteran of Spiked, the Institute of Ideas, etc, and an RCP activist in the 1990s powerbase.info/index.php/Mart… …
