Feb 24, 2026 - Organizing Amazon

Amazon workers in Coventry, England have won breakthrough wage gains through years of strikes and organizing at the global giant. Now, a new book documents these achievements, and the militant, grassroots methods the workers and their GMB union employed to build worker power. Organizing Amazon: Building Worker Power Under Conditions of Fragmentation, Precarity and Regimentation, Bristol University Press (2025), offers a rich case study of the factors contributing to the union's successes and setbacks. It provides a practical organizing model applicable beyond Amazon, offering strategies to engage the workforce, sustain support and develop leadership.

Feb 22, 2026 - AI and the Economy: A Losing Bet for Working People

By Martin Hart-Landsberg

Tech billionaires and the Trump administration, with the apparent support of most of the capitalist class, are betting big on artificial intelligence (AI). In fact, AI investments have become the primary driver of US economic growth. But this is a losing bet for us. The AI boom is not sustainable. And because it is delivering little of value, unbalancing our economy, intensifying our ecological crisis, and threatening the quality and responsiveness of our social institutions, the longer it goes on, the greater the harm done, and the more difficult will be the task of economic and social renewal.

Feb 18, 2026 - The Wounds of Underdevelopment

By Saeed Rahnema

Until the astonishing imperialist assault by the United States on Venezuela and the kidnapping of Nicolas Maduro and his wife, news related to Israel's recognition of Somaliland, Saudi Arabia's attack on southern Yemen, and the agreement between Ethiopia and Somaliland on the use of Red Sea ports were among the hot headlines on many global venues. The chaotic and miserable conditions of these three war-torn countries, and the poverty and displacement of these ancient nations, are the direct result of internal underdevelopment, colonial and imperialist interventions, and competition among major foreign powers. Moreover, for those sympathetic to the former Soviet Union, these three countries were once prominent examples of the "non-capitalist path of development" or a "socialist orientation."

Feb 14, 2026 - Rethinking the ‘Indian International Student Crisis’

By Sheetala Bhat and Samuel Nithiananthan

In downtown Toronto, whether it's the chime of an app alert or the hum of two wheels weaving through rush-hour traffic, the faces you see delivering food, stocking shelves, and filling low-wage shifts are disproportionately South Asian migrants. What official discourse calls an "international student crisis" is not primarily a crisis of numbers but a crisis of labour: a structurally produced, politically managed supply of cheap, precarious workers that Canada's universities, employers, and state have come to depend on. As federal policy has turned post-secondary education into a revenue engine, and work restrictions wax and wane with labour market needs, hundreds of thousands of international students have been funnelled into the gig economy, warehouses, kitchens, and service jobs that remain deeply undervalued, yet essential to the functioning of everyday life.

Feb 12, 2026 - Defend Greenland Against US Aggression

By Socialistisk Arbejderparti

The Donald Trump regime is still engaged in a fierce offensive for an imperialist US takeover of Greenland. All means have been used: political, economic, and even military threats. In this situation, the Greenlandic self-government, a united Inatsisartut, has quite understandably chosen to seek refuge in a tactical alliance with the former colonial power (Denmark), the EU, and the European NATO countries. At best, this alliance can stop Trump's plans to formally take over power in Greenland here and now. However, neither the powers that be in Denmark nor the EU are reliable champions of the Greenlandic people's right to self-determination - quite the contrary!
