    In 1998, two animated films about insects were released: a Bug’s Life and Antz. Even though a Bug’s Life is more anti-imperialism, both films have Marxist undertones (they’re especially strong in Antz).

    Here’s a great scene from a Bug’s Life that shows the illusion of power:

    According to ALB, Comrade Johnstone lived in Thailand, near the border with Laos. We’ve lost contact with him, and sadly don’t know what’s happened to him.

    Don’t Lose my Number – Phil Collins

    The music video is almost never shown on TV, which is strange because it’s one of the best.

    Here’s a great article on how attitudes to Western colonialism & Israel have altered in popular culture, during the post-war period.

    Re: Pro-Palestine or Anti-War (SS Dec. 2023, article)

    A two state solution (Western politicians’ favourite saying) wouldn’t work, because of all the Jewish towns & cities in the West Bank.

    According to the Left, ‘From the river to the sea,’ implies a secular, Palestinian state. While this aim is more realistic (in the short term) than a world socialist revolution, it would only solve one of capitalism’s million problems (that of Palestinian apartheid).

    Thanks for that interesting article, Robbo.

    It just goes to show that we’re all humans living on planet earth. Imagine explaining the State of Israel & the Palestinian territories (or any other war) to a group of aliens visiting this world!

    Trots criticise us for not having achieved socialism by now, when they haven’t, either! Can you imagine!

    – Bijou Drains

    I’ve solved your riddle (i.e. I looked it up).

    ‘Pete Townshend (using the alias “Bijou Drains”) played bass guitar on [Thunderclap Newman’s] album and singles.’

    P.S. The above lyrics to ‘Vietnam Song’ are bloody amazing.
