  The Right Loses the Election – Social Democracy Records a Historic Low

  1 October, by Socialistiska Politik

  The policies pursued since 2022 have been among the most reactionary, racist, and repressive in modern Swedish history. Examples include restrictions on the right to asylum, attempts to retroactively revoke residence permits, significantly stricter requirements for obtaining Swedish citizenship, stop-and-search zones in working-class suburbs, repressive legislation that allows 14-year-olds to be imprisoned, deportations of young people separated from their families, legislative changes that threaten democracy, and welfare reforms that severely worsen conditions for the poorest and for those without citizenship.

  Elections Crucial to Curbing Far Right

  30 September, by Israel Dutra, Mariana Riscali

  The Partido Socialismo e Liberdade (PSOL) and the anti-capitalist left have two gigantic challenges to face simultaneously in the coming Brazilian elections: to contribute to the broader struggle against the main Brazilian expression of global neo-fascism, and to build a radical and independent left pole.

  The spark that lit a prairie fire: let’s organise a hot autumn

  29 September, by Anticapitalistas

  On Wednesday, 23 September, the police evicted Maricarmen in Madrid. Maricarmen is an 87-year-old woman whose rent was gradually increased by a vulture fund, until the fund decided it wanted the flat for new business ventures. In that sense, her case is not so unusual: in Spain, there are thousands of evictions every year. The housing movement fights against them every day, often in the face of a media blackout that looks the other way when it comes to a tragedy that is part of everyday life in working-class neighbourhoods.

  Protestors Rally against Mass Murderers Speaking at U.N. General Assembly

  28 September, by Dan La Botz

  Hundreds marched in three separate demonstrations to protest the mass murderers—President Donald Trump, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian—speaking at the United Nations General Assembly held in New York last week. The event became a kind of macabre circus with these monsters in the big ring as some delegates walked out while others protested outside.

  A Lesson in How Not to Mitigate Climate Change

  29 December 2018, by Andreas Malm

  Capitalist climate governance has always relied on pseudo-reforms that leave the richest free to accumulate capital, while dumping taxes on working people to nudge them in the ’right direction’. But as the protests of the gilets jaunes show, many working people no longer accept the moralising terms of capitalist approaches to climate change. In this article, Andreas Malm argues that if we really want to save this Planet, we must pursue a different kind of climate politics, one that could learn a great deal from the methods and tactics of the gilets jaunes.

• Asia and Europe in Changing Geopolitics, Rising Powers, Peoples’ Security

  26 December 2018, by Achin Vanaik, Anuradha Chenoy

  Major trends of changing geopolitics impact Asia and Europe and provide space for positive interventions from peace movements for people’s security. Even as the rise of Asia is seen as impacting international geopolitics the current reality in the Asian Continent is as follows:

  Most riven by nationalist tensions of various kinds, religious, ethnic or otherwise.

  Uncertain implications of China’s general rise even as no other country has so many neighbours (14) although border demarcations with most (12) have been agreed upon.

  Four of the five most significant world powers (as evaluated by population size/total GDP/military strength) operate here – Russia, China, India, Japan – plus two other emerging powers of Turkey and Indonesia.

  Adam Smith and the Yellow Vest Movement.

  25 December 2018, by Éric Toussaint

  It is sad to see how completely misrepresented Adam Smith (1723-1790) is when pundits call upon him to vindicate neoliberalism and the status quo. It seems many have not really bothered to read his works.
