It’s been well over a year since I last posted on this blog and since then a lot has changed. Not just in my life – seeing as I can now adequately punctate my sentences and am no longer little or angry – but across the globe and the struggles against the capitalist machine that… Read More Greece: Show the Troika What For!

  The Cold war days are long gone. The Imperialist powers are waning; the level of equality amongst nations is slowly, yet, surely rising.

However eight-hundred people have lost their job, Unions are not allowed to strike for… Read More Grangemouth: The Need for Socialism
