The Bella Ciao version is the WWII partisan anti-fascist adaptation. The original dates from the 1890s. It was farm workers protesting oppressive owners. Both are relevant in today's USA.
Mussolini said Fascism should be called Corporatism, because its a marriage of corporate and state power.
As "Israel is advancing a dangerous bill to impose the death penalty on Palestinian prisoners. Right-wing leaders want to go even further - and use the bill to give Israeli forces the authority to carry out extrajudicial killings." Also consider..
"Post-mortems of the deceased and testimonies from former detainees suggest many died from torture, medical neglect, and food deprivation. According to a leaked Israeli intelligence database, dozens were civilians." Meanwhile, in an alarming exposure of the connection of things in USA & there in Gaza, note:
"On this week’s “More To The Story,” former Yale philosophy professor Jason Stanley explains his recent move to Canada and calls the Trump administration’s takeover of the US government a “coup”!" Also NB
"Leaks show how a Foreign Influence network governs the world’s most powerful nation through seduction, dependence and capture." [+ Link placed here to - accompany all Epstein info above]
Amazon and Google .. have agreed to a highly irregular "handcuff" contract, making it impossible for them to deny services to Israel, even if Israel used their services for illegal purposes.And via a special "wink mechanism", the tech giants have promised to tip Israel off - probably in violation of USA law; IF foreign jurisdictions secretly ordered Israeli data be handed over, as part of any future investigations!!!
Sadly Silicon Valley just can't stop conspiring in Israeli lawbreaking. Now please read the rest here:
Finally now consider: “I think you greatly underestimate, how deeply committed the Israelis are to ethnically cleansing both Gaza & the West Bank..” and “if President Trump gets rough with Prime Minister Netanyahu, Netanyahu will turn to the lobby & they will force Trump to back off..” FROM:
"Documents released by federal court provide new and disturbing details of Trump associates’ attempt to orchestrate a coup against a government, they clearly did not understand. This is an unprecedented look at the players & their plots – from terrorism to false flags - that may inform the looming US military assault on Venezuela."
"María Corina Machado, the far-right Venezuelan coup leader who won the Nobel Peace Prize, vowed “massive privatization” - offering to sell off $1.7 trillion of her country’s resources to US Corporations"!!!
NB "ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt tells Jewish podcast that if 'we' are to solve the 'problem' of social media, 'we need to get upstream' & get companies to 'do the right thing.' He says the big social media cos were founded by Jews, and he is 'optimistic' about the TikTok takeover." - FROM THIS TWEET ....
NB - "I’m old enough to be Zohran’s bubbe. I was arrested with him and I can tell you, he’s a mensch"!
Rosalind Petchesky is a distinguished professor emerita of political science at Hunter College, and the Graduate Center, CUNY. She is an activist in the Palestine Solidarity Movement & a member-leader of Jewish Voice for Peace-NYC & a co-editor/author of the book ‘A Land With a People: Palestinians and Jews Confront Zionism’ (Monthly Review, 2021). And consider the other links on this thread. Also, see:
"I am young despite my best efforts to grow older. I am Muslim. I am a Democratic Socialist, and most damning of all, I refuse to apologize for any of this"! by the new NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani:
"The only hope to save ourselves from Trump’s authoritarianism is mass movements. We must build alternative centers of power — including political parties, media, labor unions and universities — to give a voice and agency to those who have been disempowered by our two ruling parties, especially the working class and working poor."
"The Democratic Party and its liberal allies decry the consolidation of absolute power by the Trump White House, the repeated constitutional violations, the flagrant corruption and the deformation of federal agencies — including the Justice Department and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) — into attack dogs to persecute Trump’s opponents and dissidents. It warns that time is running out.
"But at the same time, it steadfastly refuses to call for mass mobilizations that can disrupt the machinery of commerce and state. It treats the handful of Democratic Party politicians who address social inequality and abuses by the billionaire class — including Bernie Sanders and Zohran Mamdani — as lepers. It blithely ignores the concerns and demands of ordinary Democratic Party voters reducing them to disposable props at rallies, town halls and conventions.
"The Democratic Party and the liberal class are terrified of mass movements, fearing, correctly, that they too will be swept aside. They delude themselves that they can save us from despotism as they cling to a dead political formula — mounting vapid, corporate indentured candidates such as Kamala Harris or the Democratic Party candidate and formal naval officer running for governor in New Jersey, Mikie Sherrill."
"A “year out from the 2026 midterm elections, there is little evidence that negative impressions of Trump’s performance have accrued to the benefit of the Democratic Party, with voters split almost evenly in their support for Democrats and Republicans,” the Washington Post summary reads.
"The liberal class in a capitalist democracy is designed to function as a safety valve. It makes possible incremental reform. But, at the same time, it does not challenge or question the foundations of power. The quid-pro-quo sees the liberal class serve as an attack dog to discredit radical social movements.
"The liberal class, for this reason, is a useful tool. It gives the system legitimacy. It keeps alive the belief that reform is possible."
"Clinton’s welfare reform bill, which was signed on Aug. 22, 1996, threw 6 million people, many of them single mothers, off the welfare rolls within four years. It dumped them onto the streets without child care, rent subsidies and Medicaid coverage. Families were plunged into crisis, struggling to survive on multiple jobs that paid $6 or $7 an hour, or less than $15,000 a year.
"But they were the lucky ones. In some states, half of those dropped from welfare rolls could not find work. Clinton also slashed Medicare by $115 billion over a five-year period and cut $14 billion in Medicaid funding. The overcrowded prison system handled the influx of the poor, as well as the abandoned mentally ill.
"The media, owned by corporations and oligarchs, assured the public it was prudent to entrust life savings to a financial system run by speculators and thieves. In the meltdown of 2008, life savings were gutted. And then these media organizations, catering to corporate advertisers and sponsors, rendered invisible those whose misery, poverty, and grievances should be the principal focus of journalism.
"Barack Obama, who raised more than $745 million — much of it corporate money — to run for president, facilitated the looting of the U.S. Treasury by corporations and big banks following the 2008 crash. He turned his back on millions of Americans who lost their homes because of bank repossessions or foreclosures. He expanded the wars begun by his predecessor George W. Bush. He killed the public option — universal health care — and forced the public to buy his defective for-profit ObamaCare — the Affordable Care Act — a bonanza for the pharmaceutical and insurance industries.
"If the Democratic Party was fighting to defend universal health care during the government shutdown, rather than the half measure of preventing premiums from rising for ObamaCare, millions would take to the streets.
"The Democratic Party throws scraps to the serfs. It congratulates itself for allowing unemployed people the right to keep their unemployed children on for-profit health care policies."
"Our captured institutions, subservient to the rich and the powerful, are capitulating to Trump’s authoritarianism. All we have left is sustained non-violent, disruptive civil disobedience. Mass movements. Radical politics. Rebellion. A socialist vision that counters the poison of unfettered capitalism. This alone can thwart Trump’s police state and rid us of the feckless liberal class that sustains it."
"As New York City’s mayor-elect reiterated his policies .. the president posted ‘And so it begins!’ on his social media" & - AFTER HAVING HAD A "GREAT GATSBY" THEMED 1%er HOLLOWEEN PARTY ...
NOTING "Late-night hosts discuss Donald Trump’s tone-deaf Halloween party held as food assistance lapsed for 42 million Americans amid the government shutdown"!
"The Trump Administration has made the decision to attack military installations inside Venezuela and the strikes could come at any moment - sources with knowledge of the situation told the Miami Herald, as the U.S. prepares to initiate the next stage of its campaign against the Soles drug cartel." Also note
Once upon a time, long ago, some capitalists thought that their workers should be paid enough to afford their products but now the bottom line, next quarter's financial reports & short term shareholders returns rule the decisions of transnational squillionaires & are paramount over any & all other societal concerns!
"The Trump administration is keeping the money flowing to ICE and the military while canning workers at health agencies." And btw, consider that this is now where so many years of 'lesser of two evils' has led!!

Once upon a time, long ago, some capitalists thought that their workers should be paid enough to afford their products but now the bottom line, next quarter's financial reports & short term shareholders returns rule the decisions of transnational squillionaires & are paramount over any & all other societal concerns!
