The right has spent years attacking diversity, anti-racism and the idea that structural racism shapes who gets ahead in Britain. Jason Arday became perfect material for that project.

Marxism, Black Liberation and the Global Class Struggle
• The history of global capitalism is inseparable from the histories of slavery, colonialism, and settler colonialism.
• The Black liberation struggle — that is the struggle against the oppression of the people of non-European origin by the people of European origin — plus the struggle for liberation and Self-Determination, and the class struggle are clearly linked.
The current attack on voting rights and the midterm elections
The growth of large metropolitan centres, especially in the South, has transformed the growing urban population – with more Black, Latino, Asian, progressive, and unionised voters. For the ruling class this poses a threat which requires a response – either diluting, or outright preventing these votes from being expressed.

Anti-racists and Black Liberation activists must discuss this new situation.
A counter movement has to be mobilised, building on and extending the currently existing movements.
The new blog For Liberation, Against Racism, will contribute to that discussion.
World Cup 2026: Omar Artan, the visa bans, and the racism in the room
