Oct 8, 2025 - Building a Party /w Sotiris and Gramsci

The relation between theory and practice becomes even closer the more the conception is vitally and radically innovatory and opposed to old ways of thinking. For this reason one can say that the parties are the elaborators of new integral and all encompassing intellectuals and the crucibles where the unification of theory and practice, understood as a real historical process takes place.

Oct 6, 2025 - AI and Education: The Kids are in Danger

By Martin Hart-Landsberg

Big tech, ever on the hunt for new markets for their generative artificial intelligence (AI) systems, are pushing hard to get them into public schools as well as colleges and universities. Their interest goes beyond short-term profits - it is also about "grooming" a new generation to accept, if not embrace, the world big tech seeks to shape and dominate. We need to expose and resist this effort - their success would be a disaster for our youth and a major setback in the struggle to build a just, sustainable, and democratic society.

Oct 2, 2025 - How to Reduce the Hidden Environmental Costs of Supply Chains

By Benjamin Selwyn

Global supply chains account for 70% of world trade. They are the arteries of global capitalism, moving goods and services across borders multiple times before reaching consumers. Since the early 1990s - as part of economic globalisation - these networks have enabled mass consumption by delivering cheap goods made using cheap labour and shipped globally at minimal cost. But this convenience comes at a catastrophic environmental price.

Oct 1, 2025 - Climate Destruction – The Irresponsibility of Capitalist Societies

By Franz Garnreiter

Within a historically short period, capitalist society has generated enormous wealth but also caused profound ecological degradation and threats to survival. Yet the capitalist market economy is incapable of resolving the problems it has created or of securing a liveable environment. To understand the connection between economic activity and its impact on the environment, we must situate economic development within a much broader historical horizon than the usual few decades. Only this wider perspective reveals the destructive problems we have brought upon ourselves through the economic dynamics with which we are so familiar.

Sep 30, 2025 - The Possibilities of Left Government in Europe

Is it possible to have a left government in Europe, today or is any attempt toward it going to fail: will political parties capitulate and end up implementing neoliberal policies? How is it possible to actually initiate a process of profound social transformation in an anticapitalist direction? Is it possible to combine government with forms of counter-power or even dual power from below? Is it possible to resist the systemic violence induced by capitalist globalisation and financial, monetary and institutional configurations such as those of the Eurozone?
