    Hello Amamater, I don’t know what’s going on with your account or how to fix it. However your message posted to the forum at 17.55 today came through via email and I can see it hasn’t appeared on the actual website for some reason. You have requested that it’s ‘brought back again’ but unfortunately I don’t know how to do that. However here is your post, copied and pasted from the email:

    “Almamater wrote:

    The case of Donald Trump is similar to the case of Al Capone. If they accuse him of the real crimes that he committed they would be forced to take to court and jail other presidents including Bill Clinton, Barrack Obama , George Bush and Joe Biden and the other ones who are dead already, this legal pleading does not include all the crimes, as well, the impeachment did not include the real crimes. ( they call it the whole kitchen sink ) They just want to remove him because he is the only political challenger against Joe Biden, his popularity has not decreased too much despite all the three indictments, and probably a fourth one is coming pretty soon, and his supporters continue donating money for his legal defense and his political campaign. The black panthers were not so lucky.

    This a conflict between sectors of the USA ruling class which does not concern to the USA working class, but as always they convince the worker to intervene in the economics affairs of their own rulers. Military secrets within the capitalist powers have always existed and the Bolsheviks published all the secrets alliance between the capitalist class, one man is in jail and was removed from an embassy ( violating international treaties respected by dictators ) because he published the military secrets of the capitalist class, but Trump and other have taken secretive military documents and they are living like king, but the poor workers that participated in the uprising on January most of them are in prison, even the ones that were taking pictures during that event.

    PS Donald Trump said that he can kill a person in park avenue and he would not lose a voter“

    Kind regards

    It’s my understanding that we stopped using the WSM forum a while back. Which would explain why it has only 10 members left and only 4 messages posted in all of this year (all of which seem to have recently been posted by Almamater under another name). There is absolutely no point in posting on the WSM forum. It’s obsolete. We use this forum now. And Almamater – please don’t swear at Lizzie, it will only cause completely unnecessary discord.

    So, while we commemorate music as protest, let’s raise a glass to Sinead. A moving song that can make us cry through the ages. She was singing about her mother who had just died. https://youtu.be/0-EF60neguk

    So, the party position is we oppose reforms as a means to socialism, but in the meantime we kind of like them?

    Thanks Lizzie – I’m racing to catch up here with the fast moving dynamic of party online meetings! But I think we’re still using Zoom for August meetings https://zoom.us/j/7421974305

    I can’t help wondering what the Ukrainian population have to say about this war. Nobody asked them – there was no vote, or referendum- they simply got war. And all the men got conscripted- there was no freedom of choice. What kind of war is it, when men are forced upon pain of death, to fight.

    We are fed propaganda that Ukrainians want this war (to defend what exactly?).

    If I was Ukrainian, I would want the war to end, I would want men returned from the front line and I would surrender. I couldn’t care less if Putin or Zelenskyy ruled.

    The only people benefiting right now from this war are the arms manufacturers and the only people dying are the people of Ukraine and Russian conscripts/mercenaries/army – who are also people just like us.

    I want to wake up one day soon and hear on the news that Zelenskyy has removed himself, Ukrainians have the vote, and conscription has ended.

    Yes I agree Bijou I love that rendition, it’s very moving, thank you for the post and the memory of Alan. And I’m sorry for upsetting you Lizzie, I need to remember the correct spelling. The important thing is, there is a great deal of worry, that is all.
