Real Left meets again! Uniting the Pro-Freedom & Pro-Palestine Liberation Left in London on 3 May
Registration is now open for our next conference: a one-day event that brings together key campaigners and researchers to discuss the genocide in Palestine, (Syria and Lebanon) and its connection to the global techno-totalitarian agenda. Tickets start from just £15.
Israel’s genocidal attacks in Gaza drove a wedge through the freedom movement as many erstwhile allies of the oppressed lined up behind the Zionist cause. As Israel’s AI-targeted bombs fell, the willingness of some anti-lockdown figures to endorse the slaughter of civilians in the name of Zionism revealed a feeble commitment to the genuine principles of human liberation that unite the 99.9% of humanity through many separate but interlinked struggles against the patriarchal imperialist ruling class empire.
The mass base of the movement, however, recognise a continuity between the repressive politics of the settler colonialist state of Israel and those of lockdowns, mandatory vaccinations and the classist suppression of all individual freedoms so viscerally apparent in the Covid-19 event.
As forensic architecture expert Francesco Sebregondi argues in her 2020 thesis ‘The Smart City of Gaza: Technologies of Containment and the Urban Condition’, Gaza reveals the true application of ‘smartness at urban scale’. That is: to efficiently contain an urban population that is considered as both surplus and threat. This is a prototype with relevance to every citizen worldwide in the Fourth Industrial Revolution era, which threatens full spectrum smart surveillance, mass automation and economic displacement of workers to AI and robotics. In this context the rallying cry of anti-genocide protestors internationally, “we are all Palestinians!” assumes ever greater significance and urgency.
The goal of the conference is to educate, inform and help forge relationships and solidarity between those concerned with either or both issues. Confirmed speakers include:
· Paul Cudenec
· Temora Yuile
· Piers Robinson
· David Hughes
· Yael Kahn
Plus a special message from life-long veteran of the class struggle Piers Corbyn and deputy leader of the Workers Party of Great Britain and producer of Palestine Declassified Chris Williamson!
The exact location will be emailed to all ticket holders 48 hours prior to the event. It has disabled access, and is accessible via public transport with no more than a few minutes walking for those with mobility issues.
9.45am registration for 10.15 start.

2 or 3 years ago I attended a freedom for Julian Assange event in Parliament Sq. On the other side of the square was a free Palestine event. The organiser of the JA event walked over t’other side to ask if they would join us, as of course both groups were ultimately on the same side. His pleas fell on deaf ears.
The route of a freedom march I attended in central London a year or so prior, passed by a big Left gathering. I tried several times to engage them in agreeing that the freedom from Covid lock up was the same deal against the controlling elite. Again this logical point fell on deaf ears.
So wishing you good luck with your event.
PS Me thinks the only unifying catalyst would be a de-centralised, peer-to-peer financial system outside the control of the BanksterZ.
Would David Hughes as listed under confirmed speakers, be David A Hughes, author of Covid-19,” Psychological Operations, and the War for Technocracy?
