The part of the rise in class consciousness and organizing by college-educated workers that we should pay closest attention to is that it’s happening in expanding industries that are strategic for organizing like health, education, and social services.

"I know I’m in the minority here. I really did try to like it. But Christopher Nolan has taken the wiliest, most delightful hero in Western literature and turned him into one more Nolan sad sack, trudging guilt-stricken through a gray and godless world."

Critics of socialism frequently charge that it rests on an overly optimistic view of human nature. The truth is that socialists want a system that guards against tendencies to greed and domination.

Donald Trump’s victory arch is so ugly and uninspired, so befitting his cynical, corrupt, tacky presidency, that it might actually offer us an opportunity to seriously consider something more befitting a just and democratic society.

Canada’s Victims of Communism monument included proposed honorees from the Waffen-SS, the Ustaša, and the Ukrainian Insurgent Army. The charity that supplied the names is still helping shape the memorial’s next phase.

After weeks of ignored demonstrations, thousands of students, alongside parents, teachers, and supporters from across India marched on Parliament to press their demands. They were met with tear gas, police violence, and detentions.

Moroccan rapper El Mahdi Lyoubi, aka Mehdi Black Wind, was arrested this month on charges of defaming the king. The trumped-up charges reflect the monarchy’s trouble coping with the youth revolt expressed in last year’s GenZ 212 movement.

As the Trump administration saddles Americans with new administrative burdens to cut taxes for the rich, the Mamdani administration has made cutting red tape to free up benefits part of its governing agenda for New York.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani charged Benjamin Nentayahu with genocide, said he is unwelcome in New York City, and called for his arrest. Two years ago, that would have been unimaginable. Going forward, it should be a litmus test.

The US is currently experiencing its largest ever recorded outbreak of cyclosporiasis. The Trump administration’s attacks on farmworkers and federal workers are largely to blame.

The Cuban Revolution began on this day 73 years ago. The Revolution’s victory belonged not just to its leaders, but also to the many working people who fought for its success.

Ontario’s latest workers’ compensation bill restores some long-overdue benefits with one hand while quietly dismantling core protections with the other. In doing so, it’s undermining the century-old bargain at the heart of the workers’ compensation system.

The barons of Big Tech claim that AI is so important to improving our lives that all objections simply pale in comparison. Some governments are buying the claim and taking it as reason to silence dissent against data center projects.

Until 1991, the USSR was central to the development of global politics, but it now represents a lost world. Mark Smith’s book, “Exit Stalin,” is an attempt to recreate that Soviet world with a focus on everyday life — he calls it “a history in fragments.”

We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: abolish the US Senate.

Ontario’s latest workers’ compensation bill restores some long-overdue benefits with one hand while quietly dismantling core protections with the other. In doing so, it’s undermining the century-old bargain at the heart of the workers’ compensation system.

Recent US intelligence documents hype up the threat of “anti-tech violent extremist activity” against data centers. Casting protests as ideologically extreme is a shortcut to silencing critics of AI and removing democratic constraints on Big Tech.

The Soviet collapse in 1991 was so sudden and comprehensive that it came to seem inevitable. New work by historians of the USSR asks whether the system’s crisis could have ended in reform of its structures rather than disintegration.

What is the dastardly conspiracy that the Democratic Socialists of America stands accused of by defenders of the status quo? That sinister, underhanded, authoritarian tactic of running on popular policies and winning elections.
