  The “Day After” in Gaza

  14 August, by Gilbert Achcar

  “Hypocritical cries of condemnation have risen, warning Netanyahu that this project will lead to massive displacement and a large number of deaths, as if the genocide and displacement perpetrated by the Zionist army over the past 22 months, and supported during several months by the same Western governments that are blaming Netanyahu today, were not already worse than what he is promising now.”

  Labour, tough on Grannies, easy on genocide

  13 August, by Dave Kellaway

  “Some of those arrested were in their nineties and could barely walk to the police vans. Some were in wheelchairs and one was blind. All you had to do to get arrested was to write on a blank placard: “I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action”. The location of the protest was well chosen. It took place in Parliament Square, in front of the statues of Gandhi and the suffragist Millicent Fawcett who took forms of non-violent direct action.”

  Fighting side by side from Kyiv to Panama: A look back at the 2025 International Youth Camp

  12 August, by Collective

  “The last bus awaits in the camp’s parking lot. Young people, most of whom didn’t know each other a week before, exchange phone numbers, social media, and hugs. Here and there, tears flow, as if to prolong the downpours that punctuated the week.”

  Free State – a province in crisis, and Botshabelo – the symbol of broken promises

  11 August, by Thandiwe Tess Tshaka

  The recent findings by the Auditor-General confirming the Free State as the worst-performing province in South Africa are not just shocking, they are a painful reminder of how deeply broken our systems of governance and service delivery have become. For many residents, especially those in Botshabelo, this is not news. This is daily life.

  Trade Union Power and Democratic Transition in Tunisia - The UGTT: A Unique Story, An Unprecedented Experience

  19 June 2018, by Sami Adouani and Saïd Ben Sedrine

  In the wake of the collapse of the dictatorship in Tunisia, the Tunisian General Labour Union (UGTT) constituted a key player in ensuring the country stayed on track for a peaceful transition to democracy. This article is intended as a guide facilitating better understanding of the UGTT’s power which allowed the trade union to assert itself and serve as a balancing force in a national context marked by strong political competition and significant social instability. In this context, the authors explore the origins of the UGTT’s power and analyse how these power resources were articulated and combined in the national dialogue (between October 2013 and November 2014), a process that allowed the country to extricate itself from the political impasse, earning the UGTT and three other civil society organisations the Nobel Peace prize in 2015

  Fifty years after the revolutions of ‘68

  18 June 2018, by Pedro Fuentes

  The fiftieth anniversary of May ‘68, like the centennial of the Russian Revolution, is far from a mere ritual commemoration. Both mark high points of the struggle of the workers for their self-emancipation, and their lessons are incorporated into our history and give continuity to the struggle for socialism. History is alive in these central events of the class struggle. The revolutions of 1968 had objective and subjective consequences that have been fundamental in the last decades of the 20th century and the first decades of the 21st.

  17 June 2018, by Hilary Wainwright

  This rebellious era shaped radical activists – and aggressive capitalists. What can we learn from 1968, for democratic change today?
