Germany's Enslavement to Its Past Kept It Silent on Gaza for Far Too Long
2 weeks ago
Germany has betrayed the memory of the Holocaust and its lessons. A country that saw its highest task as not to forget has forgotten. A country that told itself that it would never remain silent is silent. A country that once said "Never Again," and now: "again," with arms, with funding, with silence. There is no country that should be better than Germany at "discerning nauseating processes." Every German knows much more about them than Yair Golan. Here in Israel they are in full swing, yet Germany has not yet recognized them for what they are. It was only recently that it woke up too late and to too little effect.

Because it won't be the last blackout: What energy model and distribution system for the ecological transition?
2 weeks 1 day ago
The blackout of April 28 shook the Iberian Peninsula and southern France for several hours. Everyone who lives there was affected in some way. It has been a topic of conversation that, to avoid remaining an anecdote, requires some in-depth analysis, given the systemic risks of a repeat. We must draw lessons for the future.

No Kings! Freedom! Millions Protest Trump across the United States
2 weeks 2 days ago
At least five million people participated in 2,000 “No Kings Day” protests in big cities and small towns in all 50 states, the largest yet in a series of national demonstrations. In a festive but defiant spirit, with bands and drummers, the marchers chanted, sang songs, and waved their signs with slogans like “No Kings since 1776” or signs opposing President Donald Trump's attacks on health care, food programs for children and the elderly, or his attacks on education and science. Some banners read “Fight Oligarchy.”

Victory for right, neo-fascists in second place in Portuguese elections
2 weeks 3 days ago
The results of the Portuguese parliamentary elections on 18 May 2025 mark a turning point in the country's politics. The traditional right was comfortably in the lead and the Socialist Party has fewer deputies than the far right (after counting the votes of the emigrant constituencies). The right-wing parties as a whole won two-thirds of the seats in the Assembly, while the left obtained the lowest result in its history.
All the parties to the left of the PS recorded their lowest results. (…)

Ukraine at war, Ukraine in struggle...
2 weeks 5 days ago
Resistance to the Russian invasion has not erased class divisions within Ukrainian society. The inequalities of our capitalist societies and the brutal neoliberalism applied by the Zelensky government are significantly affecting the population of Ukraine. The popular classes thus fight on a "double front", against anti-social policies and imperialist aggression.

Student protest in Serbia: “either we stop or there will be a civil war”
2 weeks 6 days ago
Since November 2024, Serbian students have been leading an unprecedented revolt against Vučić's corrupt government. Along with two Belgian comrades from the Gauche Anticapitaliste, I went to Belgrade to meet them.
In front of Belgrade's Faculty of Philosophy, a table and camping chairs were set up. A dozen or so students wrapped up in duvets were watching the entrance. On the table were sudokus and packets of cigarettes to pass the time. The students take 8am shifts to secure the faculty, (…)

Left fails to win its referendums in Italy

“All five referendums were lost because none reached the quorum of 50% of the electorate. Around 88-89% who voted supported the progressive changes to the labour laws but this went down by 33 percentage points for the change to the citizenship process for immigrants.”

Inside Die Linke

After geopolitical upheaval and a snap election in February brought a new coalition to power, the political situation in Germany is rapidly changing. Even as the far right Alternative for Germany (AfD) is on the rise, Germany's left-wing party, Die Linke surged in the most recent election to over double its prior size. What are the implications?
