It doesn’t seem to be the case. As far as I can tell, the law only covers realistic digital imitations of a person’s likeness (deepfakes), with an exception for parody and satire. If you appear in public that is effectively license for someone to capture your image.

Hard disagree. We must use the terms “socialism” (and “communism”) openly and directly.

This is correct. We are witnessing some of the greatest upsurge in working class militancy in several decades, as well as a veritable renaissance in revolutionary thought. The stuff of great historic movements is available in plenty abundance. It depends on what we do with this moment.

Now is the time for world socialist revolution. The time for a Labor Party was 60 years ago. Instead, the leadership of the trade union movement subordinated itself to the Democratic Party and imperialism. This process has been replicated worldwide in the various Social Democratic and Labor parties in support of capitalist exploitation and imperialist war. The entire system is in a state of advanced decay and historical bankruptcy with no possibility of meaningful reform.
