  State of the Resistance

  25 June, by Against the Current Editors

  A BIG, BEAUTIFUL popular resistance is trickling up to some of the sites of political power, including the federal courts — although not fast or far enough, by a long shot. That’s been the important takeaway from the first 100-plus days of the Trump administration. But we’re barely at the beginning of what will be a long battle with ups and downs.

  Cristina Kirchner condemned and banned from election

  24 June, by M. N.

  The Argentine political field is (again) in turmoil. A few months before the mid-term legislative elections, and only a few days after the announcement of her candidacy as a regional deputy, the Supreme Court has just confirmed former president Cristina Kirchner’s conviction for corruption: 6 years in prison and lifetime ineligibility.

  The United States at War in the Middle East —Again

  23 June, by Dan La Botz

  The United States has joined Israel in its war on Iran, increasing the chances for a wider regional war, one that could become a forever-war quagmire as the Iraq War did. President Donald Trump sent B-2 bombers to drop bunker-buster bombs on nuclear facilities in Fordo and Natanz while a submarine launched Tomahawk missiles at another facility in Istfahan.

  22 June, by Gin Vola, Elias Vola

  A personal tribute to Dave Packer

  26 July 2012, by Phil Hearse

  Dave Packer’s life was one of triumph – over disability, over ill health and the kind of personal and political adversity that would have immobilised less determined comrades. His tenacity enabled him to apply his sharp analytical and propagandistic abilities to fight for revolutionary Marxism over four decades. To the end he was engaged in a sustained effort to analyse to new situation in world capitalism and the international left and apply the lessons for the socialist movement in Britain and elsewhere. For more than 30 years his work was sustained by a close political collaboration with his partner Jane Kelly.

  Feminist practice in the 15-M movement

  16 July 2012, by Sandra Ezquerra

  As a protest space created by men and women, 15-M has repeated the mistake of its predecessors, fearing that feminism would divide the movement, instead of strengthening it. 15-M has not developed tools for recognising the patriarchal logic to be found at its heart, and transforming them from a feminist perspective. The result has been to render violence invisible and to silence women’s voices.

  2 May 2012, by Jeff Mackler

  Few revolutionaries, past or present, have devoted their entire adult lives to the socialist cause as full-timers. Gerry Foley was one of them. He died unexpectedly on April 21 in San Cristóbal de las Casas, in the mountains of Chiapas, Mexico’s poorest state.
