The CRT’s posturing as an “anti-war” tendency is exposed by its unsuccessful attempt to form an election alliance with the pro-war Anticapitalistas party, which helped found Podemos.
La Izquierda Diario, the online publication of the Revolutionary Workers Current, is hailing factions of the Podemos party, which worked to crush and sell out the strike.
Anticapitalistas covers for Podemos’ incarceration of Spanish rapper Pablo Hasél
Spain’s Anticapitalistas party, a petty-bourgeois Pabloite tendency that helped found the “Left Populist” Podemos party and left the Socialist Party (PSOE)-Podemos government last year, is seeking to suppress opposition to Podemos as mass youth protests erupt against the jailing of rapper Pablo Hasél.
The jailing of the 32-year old rapper by the PSOE-Podemos government for insulting the state and the Bourbon monarchy marks a milestone in the building of a police state. Hasél has now become the first musician imprisoned in Spain since the 1978 fall of the fascist regime set up by Francisco Franco during the Spanish Civil War. Hasél, who faces further trumped up charges, could be jailed for up to 20 years.
