We represent groups of workers from Amazon, Google, and Microsoft. Our organizations typically focus on a range of issues, from better workplace protections to the pursuit of environmental justice and the demilitarization of our technology. This is our first statement together.

This is not a surprise. Social-democrats have historically always betrayed the labor movement at key points: they sided with national bourgeoisies in WW1 and WW2, provided reformist distraction to the revolutionary mood in the 60s, participated enthusiastically in the neoliberalism of the 90s, etc.

1. Researching this week’s column, I felt that I understood at last just why, on so many issues – benefits, Gaza, environmental and planning laws, anti-protest laws, bank deregulation, fiscal rules etc - Labour is out-Torying the Tories. Why it has become so cruel, so destructive and so spineless. 🧵

Over 100,000 people on the streets of Brussels today, marching for freedom and peace, in Gaza and in the rest of the region and the world. This was the largest march I have seen in Brussels in a decade or so.
