My name is Daniel. I am the host of the podcast “The Sickle and the Hammer: A Socialist History of the Soviet Union.”
These headlines could not be more on point. Just in case you had any doubts at all about the fascist nature of the current US regime, there’s this

✊ Rest in power, Michael Parenti, who passed away today at age 92. A life spent educating and agitating among the proletarian masses is a life well spent. ✊

Another citizen murdered by the ICE-stapo today in Minneapolis. Fascism will not be voted out; it will not go away when its term limit expires. As class struggle has shown us throughout history, it MUST be fought in the streets!
