'For many subject peoples around the world, suffering under imperialist oppression, the victory of the Turks over the Europeans was seen as the victory of a subordinate people over their oppressors' #AnzacDay @socialistrev socialistreview.org.uk/408/d…
Today in 1915, the Allies land at Gallipoli. Their objective is to seize Istanbul and knock Turkey out of the war. Resistance is heavy and the invaders fail to advance more than a few hundred yards. 58,000 British, Australian & New Zealand soldiers die in the nine-month campaign.

Superb article by Lee Humber on the economic conditions that produced Covid-19. This isn’t an external ‘shock’, but a result of the immanent tendencies of the capitalist system. socialistreview.org.uk/455/w…

Overpopulation & environmental crisis. In this @socialistrev article from July 2019 I argue the problem is how capitalism organises production rather than absolute level of population. Those just looking at numbers of ppl miss wider issues & the real cause socialistreview.org.uk/448/a…
