The world socialist revolution is inevitable (Capitalism will not & cannot last forever). This is due to the materialist conception of history. All we (as socialist) can do right now is help it along & make sure the revolution comes at least a little sooner than it would have done without our help.
The SPGB is sort of like a fire extinguisher, in that the working class don’t want to use it now, but they will when the majority of them have become class conscious & they want to peacefully take over the state.
“Peace is at the heart of the ITUC’s values, and the absolute rejection of the atrocity of war must drive the achievement of a framework for common security, cemented on the principles of the United Nations, that addresses the ideological, social and economic causes of conflicts and holds to account those who are responsible for initiating and sustaining wars and for committing war crimes as well as terrorist attacks.”
Does this mean the USA will stop selling weapons to Israel & the Saudi-led coalition?
This Land is Your Land by the Vermont Singers (originally by Woody Guthrie). Forget that it’s a tribute to Bernie Sanders.
Thanks for sharing all the great music. I have to hold back the tears while listening to this song: “Talkin’ ‘Bout a Revolution” by Tracy Chapman

“Can Biden win in 2024?”
I sincerely hope so. Not because I think the Democrats are good, but because if a republican wins (especially Trump or Sarah Palin), the mainstream media will spend the next 4 years blaming all of the USA’s problems on him or her.
The only way of stopping the banks from crashing the Uk’s economy without bailing them out was to nationalise them. You can bet your life that libertarian would be against that!
“(Which, by the way, hadn’t been feudal for two thousand years)”
Not really? I thought most of the population of China were peasants in 1949. Unless peasants aren’t unique to feudalism?
I read once on the SPGB’s website (though I don’t remember where) that Russia & China needed state-capitalist revolutions. This is because their respective capitalist classes were too weak to take over the State from the feudalists, therefore, they needed a state-bourgeoise to catch up with the West’s advanced level of industrial capitalism.
