Big brave boys, aren't they?

In a new article in Perspectives on Politics I propose an institution reform to make representative government less oligarchic: having elected politicians held accountable by randomly selected "Constituency Juries"

Stella, you offer a shockingly anti-feminist and anti-Black reading of history. Malcolm X didn't advocate for "violence against individuals", he advocated for self-defence. Malcolm & Martin both agreed that: "if violence is wrong at home, then it is wrong abroad".

This is not that complicated. The government was embarrassed by Palestine Action drawing attention to their complicity in genocide and proscribed them because of it. The only principle consistently at work here is the Labour Government's consistent refusal to take responsibility.

Delighted to announce that earlier today I threw a scrunched up ball of paper into my office bin on my first attempt.

An important update:

Well that was a fun couple of weeks.

Lol.

Oh cool. A whole dissertation that has clearly been written mostly via AI. Enjoy paying loads of money to learn nothing, I guess...

#OtD 26 Aug 1921 workers in the mills and bakeries declared a soviet (aka: a workers' council) in Bruree, Ireland. A rare photograph features a sign workers affixed to one of the mills, reading "Bruree Soviet Workers Mills. We make bread not profits." stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9804/t…
