May 8, 2025 - Shutdown Private Profit to Promote an Ecosocialist Transition

By Anticapitalistas

Last Monday [April 28], the entire Iberian Peninsula lost power overnight. The causes that led to the fluctuations in the electrical grid are still unknown, and we must reject any misinformation or opportunism in this regard. In this sense, the working class, through its unions and social organizations, must have the right to participate in the investigation of the causes of the event. However, the political dimension of the event goes beyond the specific causes.

May 6, 2025 - Put Your Solidarity Into Action to Stop the Genocide

To the Free Trade Unions in the United States of America and to every free worker and trade unionist fighting for justice, freedom, and human dignity. We salute you on the eve of International Workers' Day, a day that embodies the unity and solidarity of workers in confronting oppression and exploitation. We raise to you the voice of Gaza's workers, who today stand at the forefront of confronting the most heinous forms of genocide, siege, and starvation, imposed on our people for decades and continuing to this day with direct support from the US administration under Donald Trump, and previous administrations, in blatant violation of all humanitarian and international laws.

May 3, 2025 - No Labour for Genocide – No Complicity with Apartheid

Israel is only able to continue its livestreamed genocide against Palestinians, including daily massacres, burning our children, men and women alive, or starving and thirsting them to death, due to the ongoing complicity of states, companies and institutions around the world. On this May Day, a historic day for the international labour movement that commemorates the struggles of workers for dignity and justice, as Palestinian trade and professional unions, we urgently renew our call to unions around the world to escalate all effort to end this shameful complicity in Israel's illegal occupation, colonial apartheid and genocide.

May 1, 2025 - Trump’s Tariffs: Fake Problems, Fake Solutions

By Socialist Project

Trump is mad. Mad at the world. Mad at anyone who challenges him. Mad in his actions. Tariffs, a tax on goods coming into the US, are Trump's weapon of choice to "make America great again." Tariffs are Trump's magic bullet to end fifty years of the US importing more than exporting, bring manufacturing jobs back, and serve as a cash cow to shift a greater share of the burden of running the American Empire onto other countries, friend and foe alike. The far right has been successful in many countries mobilizing popular frustrations. But it has no program that can deliver on its promises.
