Do I understand correctly that the Third Red Scare in USA has arrived ?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McCarthyism#
Asking for a friend.
![McCarthyism is a political practice defined by the political repression and persecution of left-wing individuals and a campaign spreading fear of communist and Soviet influence on American institutions and of Soviet espionage in the United States during the late 1940s through the 1950s, heavily associated with the Second Red Scare, also known as the McCarthy Era.[1] After the mid-1950s, U.S. senator Joseph McCarthy, who had spearheaded the campaign, gradually lost his public popularity and credibility after several of his accusations were found to be false.[2][3] The U.S. Supreme Court under Chief Justice Earl Warren made a series of rulings on civil and political rights that overturned several key laws and legislative directives, and helped bring an end to the Second Red Scare.[4][5][6]](https://todon.eu/system/media_attachments/files/115/260/934/313/054/124/original/7421b2df383cd774.png)

Confirmed, even at 11:30PM MT suspect still at large.
Every “ #left” politician & talking head has decried the fatal #shooting of #CharlieKirk, but the #RightWing peeps like #SteveBannon & #FoxNews‘ #JesseWaters are saying we are at WAR. Disgusting. They’re not calling for unity or an end to #PoliticalViolence. They are fanning the flames of #division & #hate.
While the shooter’s identity & political beliefs remained unknown in the hours after the shooting, that didn’t stop many on the #right from framing the #CharleKirk killing as an indictment of the #left.
“No more mercy for leftists,” wrote the Malaysian MAGA influencer Ian Miles Cheong. “They want you dead. They truly want to kill you and desecrate your body and erase your memory.”
“THIS IS WAR,” wrote Chaya Raichik, the person behind the Libs of TikTok account.
“The Left is the party of murder,” #ElonMusk wrote.
“The Left wants us dead,” wrote C.J. Pearson, a Gen Z conservative influencer. “This is not hyperbole. This is now the ONLY logical conclusion that any sane human being can reach after a repeated pattern of demonstrated behavior & violence.”

#MatthewDowd responded: “He’s been one of the most divisive, especially divisive younger figures in this, who is constantly…pushing this sort of hate speech…aimed at certain groups. I always go back to, hateful thoughts lead to hateful words, which then lead to hateful actions. I think that is the environment we are in. You can’t stop with these sort of awful thoughts you have & then saying these awful words & not expect awful actions to take place. That’s the unfortunate environment we are in.”

Too many Americans think " #socialist" & " #communist" are just synonyms for "bad person I don't like". Those words have meanings, you know.

Like hell, no wonder #liberals hate people to their #left. They honestly think fucking #DonaldTrump, the #billionaire #capitalist, is a #socialist.
Aren't these the people that used to brag in 2016 about how "smart" and "well-educated" they were?

I had a chat yesterday with an old #Jewish comrade last night. I mentioned that I'm mad that there is so much #antisemitism on the #Left. My friend murmured, there's a lot of antisemitism everywhere these days.
But the Left was supposed to be the safe place! Where we prefigure a better world! So it's not the same.
#Jacobin is really the king of commissioning older western white #leftists to write about the global south. This piece does no original reporting, has no Indonesian voices, and makes blanket statements.
It's not bad, but I can think of dozens of Indonesians who could have written a far better piece than this.

As long as the ”left wing” in capitalist western societies keeps letting down the poor & working class, there will be enough ears for far-right preachers telling them to blame whoever the enemies are this time..
Before the ”left” gets it’s act together, this spiraling down to fascism will not end. And it’s getting pretty close right now..
Right now they’re all just talking in capitalist words, juggling capitalist concepts, wondering why they can’t make anything change!

[repost The Left EU] What does an illegal abortion clinic look like?
In Warsaw, just steps from the Polish Parliament, stands the country’s first abortion clinic. A colourful place of care, resistance, and solidarity. Run by courageous feminist activists, it offers what the state refuses: access to safe, self-managed abortions.
A delegation from The Left visited the clinic and brought abortion pills in solidarity, but it is not enough. The need is relentless, and the supply cannot keep up.
This is not freedom. This is not democracy. It’s a systematic violation of human rights.
We want safe and accessible abortions — for everyone, everywhere.
