Apr 28, 2026 - The Canadian Auto Industry and Dependence: Polarized Options

Sam Gindin interviewed by Andrew Elrod

Along the northern shore of the Great Lakes, across the water from Rochester, Cleveland, Toledo, and Detroit, the Canadian manufacturing industry has long been part of the greater industrial archipelago of metal-bending communities - out of which American brand-name equipment, toolmakers, and vehicle companies grew in the early decades of the twentieth century. Since General Motors consolidated some of these companies under one roof in the era of World War I, the Canadian auto industry has increasingly operated as part of a continentally integrated whole.

Apr 27, 2026 - Donald Trump’s Exploited States of America

By Ingo Schmidt

Tariffs, kidnappings, blockades, bombings, and constant threats of escalation mark US President Donald Trump's second term. The reason for the aggression: the US must free itself from exploitation by other countries. According to Trump, the others are enriching themselves at the expense of the US market, NATO partners are leaving the US to shoulder the costs of security against rogue states, and these rogue states threaten US security. Aggression against everyone will end the exploitation of America and restore the country to its former greatness.

The recent advance of feminism is one of the most significant political and social developments for left-wing projects in recent years, with some of the widest-reaching effects.

Apr 18, 2026 - Healing Iran’s Wounds

Ali Abdi

It is the first days of Farvardin. I have come to Tehran to buy a book. It feels apocalyptic: dark lifeless streets; an overcast sky thick with smoke; passersby troubled and sorrowful. A few bookstores around Enghelab Square are open. There is a sharp smell of sulfur in the air. Someone points southward and says they have bombed somewhere in the southern part of the city. It seems a thick black column of smoke has risen into the sky from Shahr-e Rey.
