Statement by @OlivierMateu: General Secretary candidate for @UniteCGT, on the battle against Macron:

“We are at a tipping point. By pulling the rope too much, they [Macron and his government] broke it..." 🧵1/4
"So let's say things openly: now, the subject is not only the rejection of the new retirement age of 64 years. The subject is the return to 60 years of retirement. It is the SMIC [interprofessional minimum wage] at 2,000 euros..." 🧵2/4
"It is the renationalisation/expropriation of highways, industries, and the property of the people, which have been despoiled. It's the repeal of unemployment decrees, it's the end of business aid, it's the answer to all our social needs..." 🧵3/4

Open letter from the Trotskyists of @socialist_app to comrades of @yclbritain!

As Marxist-Leninists, you fight for world proletarian revolution & seek to build a revolutionary party ✊

But are your leaders worthy of these goals? And what did Marx & Lenin really stand for? 1/8
"In a letter to the Morning Star earlier this year, a member of the YCL argued that discussions over differences between Stalin and Trotsky 'are wasting our time'... a 'distraction from getting real work done'... He asks if we are not bored by talking about our history." 2/8
"Prioritising 'getting real work done' over understanding Marxism seems to be the method of the YCL leaders. [The] focus... has been on banner drops, setting off flares, waving flags, chanting their own name on demos (as well as Stalin’s!), & collecting for food banks." 3/8

So, with Keir Starmer's continual race to out-Blair Tony Blair, I see Andy Burnham is being touted by some as the saviour of the Labour Party 'left'.

Hoo-boy! Think it's time for another 🧵on the guy's real record... 1/11
As an MP, he voted for British involvement in the Iraq War, refused to oppose Tory welfare cuts, and helmed NHS privatisations as Gordon Brown’s health secretary. 2/11
The level of NHS privatisation on Burnham’s watch was allegedly twice as high as under the subsequent Tory-led Coalition government. 3/11

Putin claims “modern Ukraine was completely created by Bolshevik Communist Russia.” Accuses Lenin of doing it “in a crude way, alienating Russia’s historical territories”.

Lenin's real position on Ukrainian national question was FAR from crude, & worth reading in full. (🧵1/16)
Lenin is crystal clear in this 'Letter to the Workers and Peasants of the Ukraine', written in 1919 during the Russian Civil War: (🧵2/16)
"Soviet power in the Ukraine has its own special tasks. One of these special tasks deserves the greatest attention... the national question..." (🧵3/16)
