Leipold’s ‘Citizen Marx’ reviewed by Mike Macnair of the Weekly Worker. (He’s very fond of it.)

It won’t be news to DJP, but for others, if interested, the Zoe Baker book on anarchism, which comes up on page 3 of this thread, is reviewed here by Paul Raekstad. Been there a year in fact.
Fitting in (sort of maybe) with my #254343 above, and the IP critique of David Adam, here is, fresh off the press, Hermann Lueer’s critique of Postone:
Hermann Lueer: On the Critique of Moishe Postone’s »Time, Labor and Social Domination«
(Hermann Lueer is the labor-voucherist who republished the GIC’s ‘Fundamental Principles of Communist Production and Distribution’ and speaks often about it, including what he considers to be its ‘current significance’:
Months later, Lazare continues. First letter, here:

(Of course in the letters section of the following week he was roundly denounced as ‘the Renegade Lazare’!)
This brings to mind, rather tangentially, I admit, the Doric Film Festival. Click the video to hear the text under it read:

Re your #256243:
Could you briefly tell us:
1) The names of the three groups.
2) The better known individual(s) associated with each. (Kliman for one, Hudis for the one you mention, and [who??] for the third?)
3) Over what political issues the original organisation split into three and/or what their present important (?) differences are.
Replying to ALB’s #256132:
Yes, that’s it. The more Canadian states, the more Canadian senators. Having 20 new senators (because 2 per state) from the 10 Canadian provinces would probably make it impossible for Republicans to ever have a senate majority again.
But that’s not the honest answer Trump would give. Let’s return to the press conference:
[Trump:] ‘Well, think about it. This is not rocket science, you know. The whole population of all of Canada put together is barely more than the population of California. And how many states is California?? California is just one state, right? But, you know, those 10 or 12 or 13 or however many divisions they have in Canada now can be kept, no reason not to. They can be the *counties* of the great state of Canada. In fact one of them, inhabited by Eskimos, I believe, might even choose to secede from the state of Canada and become part of Greenland.’
(He refers to Nunavut, one of the 3 federal territories.)
This is not the right thread for this, but the others I considered aren’t either. There ought to be a way to search for threads by thread-name. There is probably one called ‘inflation’. (Or several that at least have ‘inflation’ in the name.)
Anyway, here, international busybody Musk praises (as ‘perfectly articulated’) the explanation of, and cure for, inflation preached to a group of industrial workers by the next Canadian prime minister:

showing that the Conservatives are the party of the ‘have-nots’ while the Liberals are the party of those with yachts.
I’ve not seen a poll for Greenland, but here’s one for Canada:
Not as broken down as I’d like but Alberta is the most ‘yes’ (19%); and Canada-wide, men are more yes (19%) than women (7%) .

If only Alberta ‘white males’ under age 55, or under 35, were polled, I wonder if the ‘yes’ might not be as high as c 40%.
A couple of questions I’d like Trump’s lackey media (which takes it seriously) ask:
(Fox News or Newsmax reporter:)
1) Sir, what kind of status do you envision for Greenland once it has joined the US? Is it to be a state; or like Puerto Rico; or like American Samoa?
[edit:] Or a domestic dependent nation, that is, an Indian reservation?
2) Mr President, you have spoken of the ‘state of Canada’. Canada as it is now has ten states, which they call ‘provinces’, and three territories. All of them are represented in Canada’s ‘parliament’, which is their word for Congress. Sir, what I’m asking is why would Canada be just be one single state?

‘I also got a big parcel of KMT books from Taipei, one of which was speeches of Chiang Kai-shek, in which he let slip that Mao’s China had nothing to do with communism!’
What book and what speech? Or just what speech, and of what year?
‘The KMT musical propaganda is as rousing, maybe more so, than Red Chinese songs and marches.’
What is the (rousing) KMT musical propaganda you refer to?
‘Does Ukraine face a “Syrian scenario?’
Article written by the anarchist Ukrainian group ‘Assembly’, published here by the WSWS:
Here is a short video by Trump Jr during his visit to Greenland. Greenlanders’ heartfelt pleading to be bought and be free at last from Danish exploitation:

(I wonder if such masters as Riefenstahl or Eisenstein could have outdone it).
And here are two online Greenland media you can read through Google Translate. Click link and the Danish will be English.

Greenlandic Broadcasting Corporation (the first link) actually has more content in Greenlandic than Danish, but Google does a much worse job of translating it.
