    So who are they? Ex-SPGBers?

    Yet another party blanking us?

    But this is always the case because most workers are not materialists. Their voting and their blaming, their adulation and condemnation, are personality-based and “star”-based. They don’t see people being moved by a system of society, by material forces of which most are unaware, or at best partly aware.
    “Greatness”, guilt and blame, criminality and conspiracy are their points of reference, not historical materialism. So individuals occupying positions are targets of their discontent, which is a blind and muddled discontent.
    Blame and guilt (mis)inform the entire culture. So does the adulation of wealth and “success.”
    The capitalist world around them is one of Marvel-like supervillains, with everyone waiting upon “superheroes” to “lead” them out of the bleakness.

    So far, Finland has been the only NATO state to signify that it expects relations with Russia to improve after the end of the war in Ukraine.

    Macron and Starmer should enlist as privates and be put on potato-peeling punishment duty.

    ” NATO military chiefs are due to meet on Wednesday to discuss the details of potential security guarantees for Ukraine amid efforts to broker a ceasefire to Russia’s offensive.” Al Jazeera.

    The Alaska summit saw Trump agreeing that NATO wouldn’t be involved in this.

    Born in 1960, I never came across as many stupid people as I have since the 2000s. Basic things, such as some sense of historical sequence, and the location of areas of the Earth, are now specialist subjects, as is a decent vocabulary.

    Be prepared to see the chucking of Friday’s “satisfactory” meeting with Putin. Zelensky is all smiles. Back to square one by the end of this week!

    He is yet to face the storm from Graham and the Senate when it reconvenes next month. Plus, Zelensky is taking political reinforcements from Europe with him to his meeting with Trump.

    Which is what Leninistas, Maoists, and conspiraloons try to do. (When they succeed, their tyranny is worse!)

    Violence part and parcel of conspiralunacy.
    A flat-earther told me “We need to be armed”, while a leftist said “We must kill all the capitalists.’
    I explained that even if you killed every capitalist and every politician, capitalism would remain the system of society. She just humphed me and walked away.
    (She now believes humans lived alongside dinosaurs 4,000 years ago, and told me to study the facts. The flat-earther put my denial of the Earth being flat being due to my being a recluse. “If you got out and about, you’d know the Earth is flat, instead of wasting your life reading books!”)

    Yes, and no nattering about “democracy” and “freedom” either. Just brazen grabbing.
