On Monday, 2 December, the Institute of Historical Research in London sponsored an online seminar titled “Gerry Healy and the WRP: Violence, Gender, and the Perils of Trotskyism”. Professor Aidan Beatty was the principal speaker. His remarks were largely a rehash of slanderous

David North Presumably Aidan Beatty never interviewed Barbara Slaughter either. The “peril of Trotskyism” for the capitalist class are figures like Slaughter and North who have engaged in a life long principled struggle to build the party of world socialist revolution. Everything points

In the future, this speech will be cited as an example of the degradation of the ruling class, the descent of its governnment into outright criminality.

Trump is now preparing the ground for the sabotage of the 2026 Elections. Demanding proof of citizenship at polling places. ICE agents will be checking IDs!

Trump calls the Democrats "crazy", says they are destroying the country, and they don't walk out. Why? The Democrats are terrified that they might encourage demonstrations of popular opposition.
