France protests

“Due to social unrest, the Musée d’Orsay is closed,” a sign might have read on Wednesday (Sept. 10), when tourists were not able to admire the works of Courbet. The great revolutionary painter would have surely looked on with sympathy at this shutdown laden with irony, and at the movement that paralyzed Paris on Wednesday with the rallying cry of “Let’s block everything.”

There were some thoughtless vandals, to be sure. But the protesters were mostly young people, very many women, many immigrants, and red banners were everywhere.

Don’t throw away historic opportunity for left

There is appetite for a radical and insurgent vision of the left

I don’t know about you, but I’m very angry. My anger is all the greater because it’s being diverted from its proper objects, such as Keir Starmer, Nigel Farage, Binyamin Netanyahu and Donald Trump. It’s provoked by the absurd split that has exploded at the top of Your Party.

The Unione Sindacale di Base (USB), which initiated the action, has called for “the immediate break-off of relations with the terrorist state of Israel”.

For unions to survive, they must embrace antifascism.

In countries across the capitalist world, trade union movements are being challenged to their very core by the growth of right-wing populist and neofascist mass movements. What makes this situation especially dangerous is that labor unions and supporters are facing not just maniacal leaders or even military juntas, but a strengthening political alignment between segments of the capitalist class and these same right-wing social movements.
