Ukraine at war, Ukraine in struggle...

1 day 21 hours 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 days 18 hours 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, (…)

Inside Die Linke

1 week ago

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?

Italy votes on removing anti‑working class laws

1 week ago

Italy votes this weekend in 5 referendums. Four are all about the existing restrictive, anti-working class labour laws and one is about the length of time involved in claiming citizenship. Meloni's post-fascist led government defends the repressive labour legislation and the current citizenship law which means you have to have lived in Italy for 10 years before becoming Italian. A Yes in the referendum would halve that period.

Pity the people of Gaza!

1 week 1 day ago

Fabian, 11-years-old, dead: this was no accident - this is the police

1 week 2 days ago

On Monday afternoon, 2 June, in Elisabeth Park in Ganshoren, an 11-year-old child was struck and killed by a police vehicle. Another one. Once again, a young person has lost their life in a police operation. Once again, run over by a police officer. And once again, the institutions react coldly, relaying a version of events that incriminates the victim, while those responsible hide behind complicit investigations that generally lead nowhere.
