  Greece: the mass movement is back on track!

  12 March, by Manos Skoufoglou

  February 28 was a historic day for Greece. The general strike represented the biggest mobilization at least since the fall of the military junta, in 1974, if not in the history of the Greek state altogether. Unprecedented rallies took place in more than 260 cities, including dozens abroad, as far as Argentina, South Korea, and Australia.

  Germany: After the federal elections, resistance not adaptation!

  11 March, by Heinrich Neuhaus, J. H. Wassermann

  The results of the German federal elections held on 23 February 2025 confirm that the country’s shift to the right can be halted. In parliament, the conservative CDU/CSU, with 208 seats, and the fascist Alternative für Deutschland (AfD), with 152 seats, have achieved the strongest positions. Together, they represent a large majority of the 630 MPs. The AfD sees itself as the real winner, having more than doubled its share of the vote from 10.3% to 20.8%.

  For Ukraine without oligarchs and occupiers!

  10 March, by Sotsialnyi Rukh

  The predatory policies of the newly elected U.S. president make it impossible to establish a lasting peace for Ukrainians. Ukraine’s refusal to sign the mineral extraction agreement, designed to serve the interests of American capital, demonstrates the country’s determination to avoid colonial dependence. This opens the door to exploring a more equitable model of relations between Ukraine and the states of Europe, Asia, and the rest of the world under the banner of resistance to imperialist domination. However, if the current approach persists, Ukraine risks facing an imminent reduction or even a complete halt of military aid from the United States.

  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. A young adult who can’t afford college without student loans is a child who remains bound to her parent. Lack of public spending on public goods forces poor and working-class people into economic dependence on their relatives. Meanwhile, for the rich, the private family is reinforced as a main conduit for wealth transmission.

  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. Tikva was a fearless socialist, a committed feminist, and one of the most consistent and principled anti-Zionists I have ever known. I was privileged to work with her during the first Palestinian Intifada, when she was acting director of the Alternative Information Centre in Jerusalem, and I was editor of the centre’s monthly English-language journal News From Within.
