WORLDWIDE STRIKES “MAKE AMAZON PAY”

_Oliver Roethig_ / Social Europe (Brussels)
On Black Friday, three years ago, Amazon warehouse workers and their
progressive allies co-ordinated a global protest for the first time in
the company’s history, under the banner ‘Make Amazon Pay’. Now
Amazon workers in Germany, the United Kingdom, Spain, Italy and the
United States are making their demand to Make Amazon Pay even louder,
with a new wave of strikes.

HOW GAZA UNITED THE WORLD

_Ramzy Baroud and Romana Rubeo_ / Palestine Chronicle (Mountlake
Terrace WA)
An actual global movement, centered around landless societies and
indigenous rights, is heavily invested in global solidarity and
intersectionality, which multiplies its powers several times
over. The common element of “decolonization” has created
intersectional links among various struggles around the world, and the
Palestinian struggle for liberation fits perfectly into the new global
narrative.

MYANMAR IN DEPTH

_Francis Wade_ / London Review of Books
Violent repression had helped put an end to the last nationwide
uprising, in 2007. But this time, young people from a broad
cross-section of society – students, labourers, bankers, civil
servants, sailors, even soldiers – began to leave towns and cities
for the rural border regions where ethnic forces opposed to the state
have long been based.

CLIMATE ACTIVISTS FEAR REPRESSION AT COP28

France 24 (Paris)
Highly attuned to international scrutiny, the UAE, where unauthorised
protests are illegal, has said it would permit demonstrations in
designated areas of the COP28 climate talks site, a far-flung
development in the Dubai suburbs surrounded mostly by
desert. Campaigners say they plan to raise human rights issues
during COP28, which starts November 30.

SPAIN: STORMY SEAS FOR PEDRO SÁNCHEZ

_Luca Tancredi Barone_ / il manifesto Global (Rome)
The third government headed by Pedro Sánchez has begun. With an
absolute majority of 179 “yes” against 171 “no” votes, the
Socialist leader succeeded in the historic feat of bringing all
Spanish political forces together to stop the danger of fascism. Now
the challenge of pacifying the Catalan situation has kicked off. It
won’t be easy, because the right is more belligerent than ever.

QUEBEC STEELWORKERS STAND UP FOR FOREIGN WORKERS

United Steelworkers (Toronto)
A massive expansion of the federal Temporary Foreign Worker Program
(TFWP) has further exposed the need for greater rights for exploited
workers, members of the Syndicat des Métallos/United Steelworkers
union (USW) from across Quebec are asserting on the final day of their
59th Annual Assembly.

FACING FASCISM
[[link removed]]
_Alberto Toscano_ / In These Times (Chicago)
Today German philosopher Walter Benjamin’s call to “organize
pessimism” means, not offloading the pathologies of contemporary
capitalism onto the wretched of the Earth, nor looking for scapegoats
to assuage our dread, but collectivizing our catastrophic
condition — realizing that the imaginary security of a few
can’t be bought at the cost of the disposability of most
of humanity.
