  1 July, by Patrick Guillaudat

  Bolivia has been experiencing a powerful social movement against President Rodrigo Paz’s austerity measures since the spring of 2026. Led by trade union, peasant and indigenous organizations, the mobilization is facing growing repression while maintaining its demands against the high cost of living and the grip of multinationals.

At the same time, he was able to dominate the recent elections in New York City.

  Burnham - a left response

  29 June, by Dave Kellaway

  “Socialists will need to adapt our campaigns and demands to relate to the new political issues and debates that are emerging. We still need to build our eco-socialist alternative independent of the Labour Party and the Greens.”

  Down with the Neoliberal Reform to ISSSTE Pensions!

  27 June, by MSPP

  “It is a matter of basic social justice that those who have more should pay more in taxes and that workers receive higher and better wages, pensions, and working conditions. In the last year, Mexico’s 24 wealthiest individuals earned US$100 billion, an astronomical figure that contrasts sharply with the stagnation of real wages.”

• Global Migration

  27 April 2018, by SAP (Denmark)

  From the middle of the 20th century, migration has been a decisive political issue. International organizations estimate that the number of people moving within and across national borders has grown to greater extent than ever since World War II. These type of estimates are never neutral – how far, and under which circumstances, do you have to move to be counted as a migrant, for instance? It is the same with statistics; you always have to make some qualification.

  The year of #MeToo

  26 April 2018, by Elizabeth Schulte

  Many things can spark a wildfire, but it’s what happens afterward that determines whether that fire will rage. In the case of the #MeToo campaign, the dozens of women who stepped forward to talk about their experiences of having been sexually assaulted by Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein was the catalyst for tens of thousands more women to break the silence about their own stories of sexual assault and harassment—providing fuel to a fire that has been long in the making.

• Yanis Varoufakis’s Account of the Greek Crisis: a Self-Incrimination Pt 1

  25 April 2018, by Éric Toussaint

  Proposals Doomed to Fail

  In his latest book, Adults in the Room [1] Yanis Varoufakis gives us his version of the events that led to the Tsipras government’s shameful capitulation in July 2015. It essentially analyses the period 2009-2015, though it makes incursions into earlier periods. [2]

  Yanis Varoufakis’s Account of the Greek Crisis: a Self-Incrimination Pt 2

  25 April 2018, by Éric Toussaint

  The Varoufakis-Tsipras Line was Doomed to Fail from the Word ‘Go’

  Disclaimer: This series of articles on Varoufakis’s book, Adults in The Room: My Battle With Europe’s Deep Establishment is a guide for left-leaning readers who are not happy with the dominant narrative meted out by the mainstream media and the Troika-controlled governments. This is also a guide for readers who are dissatisfied with the former Finance Minister’s version. As a counterpoint to Varoufakis’s story, I have highlighted events that he is silent about and I have expressed different views on what he should have done and what he did instead. My story runs parallel, and not opposite, to his.
