    Zambia: people are victims of extractivism

    1 May, by Paul Martial

    Despite recurring environmental disasters and the dangers to the population, the government of Zambia continues its extractivist policy. The southern African country has once again been hit by major pollution. 50 million tonnes of acidic sludge were discharged into the watercourse running alongside the Chinese company Sino Metals in Chambishi, which processes copper ores.

    Trump and America: One-hundred days in the waiting room of fascism

    30 April, by Dan La Botz

    Since taking office 100 days ago, President Donald Trump has been engaged in destroying America’s liberal, democratic state and its social welfare systems, taking away citizens’ and non-citizens’ rights, and attacking the institutions of civil society such as universities and the media. Trump’s attack on our government and our society has shocked, disoriented, and disconcerted the American people. The resistance has been growing, but is still too divided, small, and weak to stop Trump

    29 April, by Elias Vola

    After many months without a significant opposition movement to the government of President Javier Milei on the streets of Argentina, the 36-hour cross-industry strike of 9-10 April and the social reality of the country have brought the movement back to life.

    Greece: anger in the streets

    28 April, by Andreas Sartzekis

    The nationwide mobilization in Greece on 9 April, called by GSEE (the only private-sector confederation), ADEDY (the only public-sector federation) and the entire trade union network, was the measure of social anger, even if the huge rallies of 28 February (at least 1.5 million in the streets across the country) were a long way off.

    Trump reinvents war capitalism

    27 April, by William Donaura

    Escalation of terror in Lahore – We live in the same world

    7 June 2016, by Pierre Rousset

    A bombing in Lahore on Easter Sunday (the end of March) targeted Christians, but also children and Muslims sharing together a popular place of conviviality. The similarity in targets and modality reminds us of earlier events in Brussels and Paris.

    What’s Next for Nuit Debout?

    31 May 2016, by Stathis Kouvelakis

    Nuit Debout, France’s massive mobilizations against a proposal to dismantle the country’s labor code, has drawn comparisons to similar international movements — Occupy, Turkey’s Gezi Park, the movement of the squares in Greece. This wealth of experience helps us look at Nuit Debout and its prospects going forward.

    The Power of the Weak, Neoliberal Biopolitics, and Abortion in Poland

    30 May 2016, by Ewa Majewska, Barbara Godlewska-Bujok

    It was not long ago that Poland’s name echoed throughout the whole civilized world, that its fate stirred every soul and provoked excitement in every heart. Lately one no longer hears very much about Poland – since Poland is a capitalist country. Do we now want to know what became of the old rebel, where historic destiny steered it?

    Luxemburg, The Industrial Development of Poland

    Several days ago, at the end of March, the conservative party Kukiz15, the ruling party of Mr. Kaczynski, Prawo i Sprawiedliwosc (PiS), the Polish Prime Minister, Mrs. Beata Szydlo, the national council of bishops, and the majority of MPs declared their support for banning abortion completely.

    Reproducing Injustice

    30 May 2016, by Lizzie Tribone

    The battle for reproductive rights is a global battle. In March, the United States Supreme Court heard a landmark case over the future of women’s access to safe and legal abortions in Texas. In Poland, a proposed law by the country’s right-wing Law and Justice Party would effectively outlaw abortion. And while abortions have been legal in India since the seventies, Indian women’s control over their own bodies remains abbreviated.
