I Will Keep An Eye on the Ideological Direction of the Palestinian Communist Party!

Palestinian Communist Party: Joint Statement of Communist and Workers’ Parties – Stop the “Genocide” in Gaza! (24.5.2025)

The dominant (dialectically distorted) Trotskyite view is that the “capitalist” nature of modern Russia supersedes the “Neo-Nazi” nature of modern (Catholic) Ukraine.

It is well designed, with plenty of different animals living in wide open well-managed spaces.
