  Ukraine at war, Ukraine in struggle...

  13 June, by Gin Vola, Elias Vola

  Resistance to the Russian invasion has not erased class divisions within Ukrainian society. The inequalities of our capitalist societies and the brutal neoliberalism applied by the Zelensky government are significantly affecting the population of Ukraine. The popular classes thus fight on a "double front", against anti-social policies and imperialist aggression.

  Student protest in Serbia: “either we stop or there will be a civil war”

  12 June, by Gaëlle Guehennec

  Since November 2024, Serbian students have been leading an unprecedented revolt against Vučić’s corrupt government. Along with two Belgian comrades from the Gauche Anticapitaliste, I went to Belgrade to meet them.
  In front of Belgrade’s Faculty of Philosophy, a table and camping chairs were set up. A dozen or so students wrapped up in duvets were watching the entrance. On the table were sudokus and packets of cigarettes to pass the time. The students take 8am shifts to secure the faculty, (…)

  11 June, by Dave Kellaway

  “All five referendums were lost because none reached the quorum of 50% of the electorate. Around 88-89% who voted supported the progressive changes to the labour laws but this went down by 33 percentage points for the change to the citizenship process for immigrants.”

  Against Left Pronatalism

  9 March, by Robin Peterson

  Neoliberalism enforces family responsibility with a cruel logic: a couple who can’t afford rent without both their incomes are a couple who stick together.

  Tikva Honig-Parnass 1929-2025

  4 March, by Roland Rance

  I am so sad to learn of the death of my dear friend Tikva Honig-Parnass.
