    Student revolt becomes everyone’s in Serbia

    9 July, by Lucien Perpette

    Free the Children! End the Starvation and Genocide!

    8 July, by Collective

    INTERNATIONAL CHILDREN’s DAY is June 1 in Ukraine, Russia, and 47 other countries.

    Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” Passes with Ugly Results for the Country

    7 July, by Dan La Botz

    By just a few votes in both houses, the Republicans passed President Donald Trump’s 940-page “Big Beautiful Bill,” a $3.4 trillion package, cutting taxes for the rich and slashing social programs for the working class and the poor, while at the same time increasing the national debts by $3 trillion or more.

    On the present left political situation in Bangladesh

    6 July, by Badrul Alam

    “Nonetheless, the political ground has shifted. What once seemed impossible—the return of Marxist politics, the reorganization of underground parties, the convergence of student and worker struggles—is now a living process.”

    Solidarity with Gaza is not antisemitic - Death to hypocrisy

    5 July, by Dave Kellaway

    The mass movement for solidarity with the population of Gaza and of Palestine worldwide is labelled antisemitic and subject to repression both collectively by the banning of Palestine solidarity organizations (Palestine Action in Britain labelled as terrorist, threat of dissolution against Urgence Palestine in France for example) and against individuals including many academics sacked for denouncing the Israeli genocide in Gaza.

  • Rearming Europe

    New Disorder, Geopolitical Transition and Militarization of Europe

    9 May, by Jaime Pastor

    The new era that the reactionary bloc grouped around Trump aspires to impose on a global scale has just begun, but we are already seeing the contradictions and resistances of different scope that are manifesting themselves in the face of that project. I will try to point out in this article some of the features that characterize this historical moment to then enter into its implications in Europe.

    Revolutionary defeatism, yesterday and today

    8 May, by Simon Hannah

    The debate on the Left over the war in Ukraine has exposed serious disagreements on international questions, ones that have been brewing and deepening for over a decade. From 2001 to 2011, there was general unity on the socialist Left about the question of imperialism and the response to it. This was a period of explicit and obvious attacks on sovereign countries such as Afghanistan and Iraq by the United States, United Kingdom, and other imperialist forces. This naked imperialist aggression triggered global mass movements against the so-called “War on Terror.”

    Dreaming as internationalist materialists

    8 May, by Alexis Cukier , Franck Gaudichaud, Théo Roumier, Vincent Gay, Yoletty Bracho

    “We will begin with a statement: yes, we dream, and we desire! We dream of emancipation, and we desire equality (individual, collective, between peoples).

    And we are on the left, a radical and revolutionary left at that. What should be troubling us today is not changing our dreams and desires. Certainly not going poaching on the side of those opposed to us, claiming that “only the far right dreams”.”

    Vietnam, 30 April 1975 - 50 years ago, a historic victory, but at what price?

    29 April, by Pierre Rousset

    Vietnam’s independence was first proclaimed in August 1945, and we could soon be celebrating its 80th anniversary. De Gaulle decided otherwise, sending an expeditionary force to reconquer his lost colony. Indochina had to endure two devastating successive imperial wars, first French, then American. Washington mobilised all the means at its disposal to crush the Vietnamese revolution, certain that it would prevail - and was defeated. The image has gone down in history: the staff of the US (…)
