Mobilizations amid water and electricity crisis in Tunisia

2 weeks 3 days ago

Tunisia has recently seen a wave of protests resulting from the difficult living conditions the country's inhabitants have endured for several decades, which have gradually worsened. The situation became particularly unsustainable during the month of July, with residents regularly confronted with the policy of recurrent water cuts during the summer in the central regions (governorates of Kairouan, Sousse, Monastir and Mahdia). These four governorates have experienced 31 demonstrations and road blockades in 2024, then 15 demonstrations and blockades in 2025.

Hinge, Not Pole: India in a Fragmenting Global Order

3 weeks ago

The first year of Donald Trump's return to the US presidency has accelerated an ongoing transformation: the disintegration of US-led neoliberal globalisation. From the 1990s through the post-2008 period, global capitalism was organised through a structured hierarchy, with US financial dominance, global value chains, and multilateral institutions that secured the conditions for capital accumulation. That architecture is now visibly fraying.

The Ortega-Murillo Dictatorship Was Not Born of the Revolution

3 weeks 1 day ago

“Every 19 July, the same debate returns. The Ortega-Murillo dictatorship insists on presenting itself as heir to the Sandinista Popular Revolution. At the same time, part of the opposition accepts that narrative and ends up reinforcing it by asserting that the current regime is nothing more than the logical consequence of the 1979 revolution.”

“When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth the separate & equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.”

Thomas Jefferson, July 4, 1776.

3 weeks 3 days ago

The countries of the Arabic-speaking region experienced floods last winter (Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Oman, Saudi Arabia).

Deaths due to the heatwave are estimated to be in the hundreds in Tunisia.

An important contribution by Ernest Mandel to the debate on the transition to socialism

3 weeks 4 days ago

We are reprinting an important text that Ernest Mandel wrote in late 1963 to contribute to the public debate that had begun in Cuba a few months earlier. The main participants in the debate were, on the one hand, Ernesto Che Guevara (Minister of Industry) and Luis Álvarez Rom (Minister of Finance) and, on the other, Alberto Mora (Minister of Foreign Trade) and Marcelo Fernández Font (President of the National Bank of Cuba).
At the Cubans' request, two foreign Marxist economists joined the (…)

The 1976 Uprising and its enduring significance

3 weeks 4 days ago

“The youth of 1976 understood that freedom is indivisible. They risked everything, not for statues or hollow commemorations, but for a world in which human beings are no longer reduced to commodities, ethnic labels or disposable labour. Their legacy demands nothing less from us today: to see our struggles as linked, to reject the divisions that power imposes, and to build a genuine liberation for all.”

Many Shades of Campism: An Internationalist Critique

3 weeks 4 days ago

Contemporary capitalism is shifting into a war conjuncture: as the world market fractures, rivalries among geo-economic powers intensify, often to the point of outright military confrontation, while militarization spills beyond the battlefield into political governance and everyday life. In this context, the historical necessity of renewing an internationalism becomes ever clearer, especially as local conditions are increasingly mediated by globalized processes and absorbed into the vortex of the global war regime.
