The uprising of the working classes of #Kazakhstan has given victories to other regional workers: Uzbekistan has just cancelled any fuel price rises and has ensured ALL gas produced is used within the country and ends all gas exports to China. Extraordinary stuff.

“Uzbekistan’s government has halted natural gas exports and appears to be quietly ignoring its recent pledge to increase fuel prices at the start of the year. The change comes after neighboring Kazakhstan saw violent unrest last week that began with protests..”

““The reason is clear. The authorities do not want a repetition of events in Kazakhstan and are taking action. Apparently, the price increases have been frozen so far. After all, one of the reasons for the unrest was the price of liquefied gas,” the pensioner told Eurasianet.”

Putin: “Above all, we should acknowledge that the collapse of the #SovietUnion was a major geopolitical disaster of the century.” It was a *geopolitical* disaster, not a social one according to Putin. This is highly significant.

Putin represents the section of the Russian neo-liberal racist capitalist oligarchy that didn’t want to totally sell itself to imperialism and wanted a little bit of respect for itself. Putin leans on the Soviet nostalgia to bolster his rule as a right-wing nationalist.

It’s dangerous for Putin to play w this Soviet nostalgia cos Russian ppl don’t just see it as a nationalist project but a social one that delivered for them. Putin has to counter this by constantly trying to repackage Soviet history as right wing nationalism.

#thread on how much of a nasty colonialist racist #PrincePhilip was. Remember this guy was a leading figure in the Brit state and armed forces for generations. Here in 1987 he calls Chinese ppl ‘slitty eyes’.

June 2017 in front of black and Asian primary schoolchildren Prince Phillip insults the children by making faces and complaining about their handwriting. Utterly horrid behaviour.

March 2002 when visiting native Australians he asked ‘do you still throw spears at each other’, this. This racist news piece decides it wasn’t racist at all.

@LondonBlackRevs

This is an account from the direct experiences of MXM members today, and also our close unified approach with @LondonBlackRevs and several other radical black formations.

The background today is nearly 10yrs of a general absence of radical grassroots resistance, the last time was Aug2011 when we rose up for 3 days after the police murder of #MarkDuggan #BroadwaterFarm crew.

#thread We just got off the phone w #BlackPantherParty #Seattle chapter branch leader in the 1960s/70s #AaronDixon, we spoke about the current #BlackUprising in the usa this last week. A few things to share w you from him and the convo ...

First of all he wanted to congratulate all the risen people and said this last week shows the power of the people against a veritable fascist trump. He emphasised that the power of the People is in flow and should be widened.

He congratulated the Black youth for their rage, tenacity and courage to face the pigs and confront the state. He said he has been waiting for this for 50yrs!
