WHO VOTES FOR THE LEFT?
[[link removed]]
_Małgorzata Kulbaczewska-Figat_ / transform! Europę (Vienna)
Is there any social group that is particularly connected to the left,
and which can be expected to elect radical left-wing candidates on a
regular basis? Can certain patterns common to many European countries
be identified in this regard? An attempt to find and name them was
made by researchers Luis Ramiro and Raul Gomez, in a
debate with Gala Kabbaj and Yann Le Lann of Espaces Marx.

INTERNATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY ACCORD FOR GARMENT WORKERS
[[link removed]]
IndustriALL Global Union (Geneva)
Global trade unions and fashion brands and retailers have reached
agreement on a new International Accord for Health and Safety in the
Textile and Garment Industry. The renegotiated contract secures the
work of the Accord until the end of the decade, strengthens the
complaint mechanism for workers and includes commitments for an
expansion into other countries.

AFRICA’S REVOLUTIONARY ’60S
[[link removed]]
_Pascal Bianchini, Ndongo Sylla and Leo Zeilig_ / Review of African
Political Economy (London)
The history of revolutionary left movements in Africa is largely
ignored and disregarded among political scientists, historians and
across the academic literature on Africa. But extraordinary
anti-colonial struggles and the creation of new independent states
occurred during the Cold War.

BRAZIL: STRIKES AGAINST PRIVATIZATION
[[link removed]]
_Vinicius Konchinski_ / Brasil de Fato (São Paulo)
Workers mobilized against the privatization of Brazilian state-owned
companies have organized at least 14 strikes this year in seven
states. A 24-hour strike on October 3 hit the Basic Sanitation Company
of the State of São Paulo (Sabesp), São Paulo’s Metropolitan Train
Company (CPTM) and the Metro against the plans of Governor Tarcísio
de Freitas (Republicans Party) to sell the companies.

IN DEFENSE OF AFGHANS IN PAKISTAN
[[link removed]]
_Afghan Reparations Collective_ / Jamhoor
The government of Pakistan announced a deadline for all
“undocumented Afghans” – essentially Afghans seeking refuge but
denied this status by the government – to l
[[link removed]]eave
the country by November 1, 2023. The demands were qualified through
unproven accusations of Afghans being involved in “terrorism.”

FRANCE’S DEBS, JEAN JAUR
[[link removed]]ÈS
[[link removed]]
_Philippe Marlière_ / London Review of Books
Remembered in France as the great orator of the left, Jaurès is still
seen across the political spectrum as a champion of ‘republican
values’. To call him a ‘great republican’ doesn’t mean much
nowadays and downplays his radicalism. It’s strange that someone
who was vilified, demonised and smeared by his opponents should be
seen as almost above politics.
