The Weekly Worker is the paper of the Communist Party of Great Britain. (not the transphobic homophobic one, that is CPGB-ML this a different one)
cw disgusting article, I've seen a lot of bad articles, this very much so might be the worst

Due process and the presumption of innocence are all-important for socialists - but not for a politician on the make, like AOC.
:jesse-wtf:
Penny, on the other hand, is anything but an A-lister. After working in a surf shop in North Carolina, he was unemployed and in New York looking for a job as a bartender. Had the US entered directly into the Ukraine conflict while he was still in the military, he is just the sort of young person who would have wound up in harm’s way as a result of AOC’s pro-war policies.
Yeah? And his victim? Was he an elite too?
According to The New York Times, city subways saw 10 murders last year
And they just saw one more. Which you are defending. e: but also holy fuck 10 in a whole year in the largest city in the country? That's the terrifying crime wave you're so worried about?
“And then I heard him take off his jacket,” Vasquez went on. “He bundled it up and just threw it on the floor, very violently. You could hear the sound of the zipper hitting the floor."
Is this supposed to be a fucking joke? That's your excuse for why he should have been murdered?
Lenin wrote about the “absolute order and devotedly observed comradely discipline” that a workers’ militia would impose,
Fuck you
Not finishing this. I wish the American left were big enough that we even had to worry about tumors like this growing on it.

um sweetie it was a violent jacket throw which = murder
Poor former Marine, he voluntarily signed up to help uphold the American empire, but alas, he is a victim of the system:thurston:
This Neely stuff has genuinely turned into a litmus test to see how rotted a person's brain is
Two days after the May 1 death, the Democratic congresswoman from the Bronx tweeted that “Jordan Neely was murdered.” A few minutes after that, she upped the ante by calling his death “a public murder ... that reinforces existing power structures”. On May 4, she tweeted again: “Killing is wrong. Killing the poor is wrong. Killing the mentally ill is wrong. Why is that so hard to say?”
This is so commonsensical and induspitible.
in case anyone is interested, the correct way to blame the system is to expose how financialization and global competition for investment produce gentrification and drive people into homelessness, and homeless people themselves have to be blamed for this and treated as less than human. The underlying dynamics can only be removed by taking the country out of the world capitalist system and building for people's needs
-
This homeless person was begging people for food.
-
The real problem is that he was impolite, he broke decorum.
-
Therefore he deserved to get choked out by an ex-Marine.
That's the Neoliberal logic.

Murder is not self defense. There's a reason why airline workers duct tape unruly passengers instead of killing them.
taking the obvious position of defending people most brutalized by capital over capital's foreign cops
honestly embarrassing for this guy to be out socialism'ed by fucking aoc lol
No this one is also transphobic now, don't worry you dont have to remember which is which anymore.
Wait no false alarm this is a new GPGB?
We have to remember this bullshit again.
This is like someone getting all their ideas about socialism from the John Birch society and deciding "that all sounds pretty good, actually"
That article was so fucking stupid. I like when they pointed out the murderer was poor and AOC is rich therefore she's wrong and he's right (brilliant). Also love the use of police descriptions of his behaviour (objective!).
Alberto Vasquez said he was taken aback when Neely started yelling about being hungry and thirsty.... 'And then I heard him take off his jacket,' Vasquez went on. 'He bundled it up and just threw it on the floor, very violently. You could hear the sound of the zipper hitting the floor.'
:soypoint-2:
hey uh
The party formerly listed the abolition of the age of consent among its immediate demands, with alternative legislation to protect children from sexual abuse.[38] In 2021 it amended this demand: "Young people are entitled to develop their sexual lives free from parental, police or religious control. We favour legislation which protects children and young people from sexual exploitation by those who are substantially older than them, especially by those in authority over them."[39]
:fuckin-deserve:
My brain is so fried that I immediately presumed they were trot from looking at the logo.
Obviously neither party should have been put in that situation, but it still happened. The killer is more than culpable, based on all available information. If we learn more about their armed forces training, which seems like it probably would have covered this stuff, the charges should be upgraded to murder 2. Goes without saying that nobody should be subjected the horrors of the US penal system, but we're no where close to the end of that so if there's any parity they'll see the inside of a cell for 7-10 years on a manslaughter conviction.
