Jan 5, 2026 - Is Israel’s Genocide Economy on the Brink?

Since October 2023, Israel has faced a convergence of economic shocks. Tens of thousands of residents have been displaced from border regions in the south and north as a result of hostilities with Hamas and Hezbollah, while hundreds of thousands of reservists were pulled out of the workforce for extended periods, leaving key sectors short-staffed and productivity depleted. Public services, education, and healthcare have deteriorated as state spending was diverted to the war, and almost 50,000 businesses have gone bankrupt.

Jan 3, 2026 - #Insorgiamo: A Factory Occupation for the Climate

By Lukas Ferrari and Julia Kaiser

Imagine a climate strike in which 40,000 industrial workers, climate activists, pacifists, and other non-politically active people are brought together. In their speeches, they denounce the shutdown of an automotive supply factory. They all agree that what is needed is a conversion of production instead of layoffs. The bloc right at the front of the demonstration is made up of workers from the affected factory, and behind them are masses of militant climate activists and spontaneous demonstrators.

Jan 1, 2026 - Alberta is Privatizing Healthcare

Alberta's government, led by Danielle Smith and the United Conservative Party, passed a new law, Bill 11: The Health Statutes Amendment Act, last week. With its passage the existential threat to public medicare in Canada is here. The new law sets up two-tier medicare and private health insurance in Alberta. It is terrible for Albertans, destroys single-tier public medicare in Canada as a national achievement, and puts at threat public healthcare across the country. It follows on the heels of the Alberta government's repeated use of the Notwithstanding Clause to enable violations of the Canadian Constitution and Charter of Rights and an emboldened push for Alberta's separation from Canada among some forces in the province.

Dec 31, 2025 - First Venezuela (Then China?)

By Atilio A. Boron

The escalation of US aggression against Venezuela seems unstoppable, while extrajudicial executions by US forces accumulate in the Caribbean and the Pacific. Threats are becoming increasingly vocal in Washington, and naval and air blockades are intensifying by the hour. These measures violate the United Nations Charter and international law, but US President Donald Trump and his henchmen seem determined to do whatever it takes to subjugate the South American country. It remains to be seen, however, whether with an invasion they want to create their own Vietnam or Afghanistan; in other words, whether they are stupid enough to start another fire but this time not in distant lands but in the front yard of the United States.

Dec 26, 2025 - The American Dream, We Hardly Knew You

By John Miller

If Americans' hopes of getting ahead have dimmed, as the Wall Street Journal reports yet again, it could only be because the lid of the coffin in which the "American Dream" was long ago laid to rest has finally been sealed shut. The promise that if you work hard and play by the rules, you will get ahead, or if you don't, surely your children will, was broken long ago. And today's economic hardships have left young adults distinctly worse off than their parents, and especially their grandparents.
