Ecology without class struggle is gardening!

Our planet can only be saved by scientific planning of human production and economic activity, taking into account all the consequences for nature. Alexei Alyokin Subscribe to our channel How many people understand that the Soviet Union pioneered many of the ecological measures that are so desperately needed today, precisely because its planned economy was at the service of the people and not impeded by the deadly drive to maximise profits? This article is reproduced from the Communist Workers Party of Russia website with thanks. ***** The fifth of June was World Environment Day. This ecological holiday, designed to draw attention to environmental problems, is celebrated every year on 5 June. It was created by the United Nations g...

Long live May Day

May Day is the day of annual celebration of the international working class movement. It originated in the United States where it was particularly associated with the struggle for the working day to be reduced to 8 hours. In the mid-19th century, the conditions in which the working class lived and worked in the United States, as in Europe, were harsh and for this reason: “At this time, socialism was a new and attractive idea to working people, many of whom were drawn to its ideology of working class control over the production and distribution of all goods and services. Workers had seen first-hand that Capitalism benefited only their bosses, trading workers’ lives for profit. Thousands of men, women and children were dying needlessly every year in the workplace, wit...

Things Fall Apart

BY ROB URIE Photograph by Nathaniel St. Clair The US is currently on the precipice of WWIII, Americans are dying from preventable diseases at far higher rates than the citizens of nations with functioning governments, the Biden administration is ‘fighting racism’ by racially targeting Black Socialists for arrest, large banks are once again being bailed out, nearly all of the hysterical charges leveled against the American right in recent years have been disproved, the Biden administration is doing its best to bury dissent with propaganda and censorship, and the politicians in line to assume political control are the most corrupt, least capable, people in the country. The US is in a bad way. The current press practice of channeling ‘left’ and ‘right’ news to their respective a...

To End All Wars, Close All Bases

BY KATHY KELLY A Gazan Ph.D. candidate studying in India, Mohammad Abunahel steadily refines and updates a map on the World BEYOND War website, dedicating a portion of every day to continue researching the extent and impact of USA foreign bases. What is Mohammad Abunahel learning, and how can we support him? On the few occasions when a government moves toward converting property or weapon production facilities into something useful for human beings, I can’t restrain a tumbling brainstorm: what if this signals a trend, what if practical problem-solving begins to trump reckless war preparation? And so, when Spain’s President Sanchez announced on April 26th that his government will build 20,000 homes for social housing on land owned by the country’s Minis...

Monster Heat Hits 1/3rd of World Population

BY ROBERT HUNZIKER Image by Nicolas Houdaye. It has started, and it’s fierce… Monster Heat! “It’s a ‘monster heat spell like none before,” according to climatologist and weather historian Maximiliano Herrera, describing Asia’s heatwave as the worst in history. (Source: Extreme Heat Scorches Asia, Affecting at Least a Third of the World’s Population, The Verge, April 19, 2023) Global warming is hitting full stride as SE Asia, inclusive of parts of China and India literally roast. It’s a bad omen for the rest of the world as the entire planet is threatened by an emerging El Niño event starting this year. El Niño is the warm phase of the El Niño-Southern oscillation that originates in the equatorial Pacific every few years, bringing on more heat throughout the pl...

The Global Fight Against Fascism

BY EVE OTTENBERG Photograph Source: Mike Steele – CC BY 2.0 The Spanish civil war of 1936 becomes more relevant every day. That’s because it was a war against fascism in its pure form. In case you wonder what form that is, amid the poisonous, weedy varieties sprouting up globally these days, it’s fascism, exercised through corporate control of government, against and thus persecution of leftists, non-Christians and trade unionists. If that sounds familiar, don’t be surprised to hear it spelled out: this is the explicit program of much of the U.S. Republican party. The Dems enabled it, make no mistake, and they are just as complicit in the corporate merger with government. But they at least have the good grace not to embrace the rest of it. In Spain, when the fascists...

Maybe Civilization Was a Mistake, After All

BY EVE OTTENBERG Photo by Raphaël Biscaldi Civilization was possibly a mistake. It led to capitalism five hundred years ago, and that was unquestionably, absolutely a mistake. Capitalism now consumes the planet. It expands like a metastasizing cancer over the face of the earth, heating the atmosphere to unbearable levels and at the current rate may well destroy our world within another hundred years. We would do well to replace it with something that won’t render the globe uninhabitable. But what? Well, of the 200,000 years that humans have dwelled on this planet, 95 percent of that time we were hunter gatherers. We had better health, greater longevity than our agricultural descendants who ruled for millennia before the current, unfortunate arrangement, less patriarchy, liv...

The Emerging New World Economy

BY RICHARD D. WOLFF Photograph Source: cogdogblog – CC0 The emerging new always both frightens and inspires the fading old. History is that unity of opposites. Sharp-edged rejections of what is new clash with enthusiastic celebrations of it. The old gets pushed away even as bitter denials of that reality surge. The emerging new world economy displays just such contradictions. Four major developments can illustrate them and underscore their interactions. First, the neoliberal globalizing paradigm is now the old. Economic nationalism is the new. It is another reversal of their previous positions. Driven by its celebrated profit motive, capitalism in its old centers (western Europe, North America, and Japan) invested increasingly elsewhere: where labor power was far cheaper...
