EU/QATAR SCANDAL HITS INTERNATIONAL UNION
[[link removed]]
_Frank Hoffer_ / Global Labour Column (Johannesburg)
For the first time in the history of the international trade union
movement, its highest representative, the general secretary of the
ITUC, was arrested in Brussels by the police as part of an
investigation into suspected corruption. Things have to change if the
ITUC wants to regain its integrity and wants to be an organisation
trusted by the migrant workers in Qatar and, indeed, anywhere else.

DOCUMENTS OF THE EUROPEAN LEFT CONGRESS

Party of the European Left (Brussels)
The EU has been in a deep crisis for many years – economically,
socially, ecologically, democratically and politically – caused by
its neoliberal principles, rules, treaties and policies all aimed at
sustaining a capitalist economic system based on the maximisation of
private profit and not production for the needs of people and
the planet.

RACE, CLASS, AND THE COUP IN PERU

_Francesca Emanuele _/ Council on Hemispheric Affairs (Washington DC)
Many of those who still support Castillo lack the titles and
university degrees that the newscaster, the Minister, and
un-democratic Congress members have. However, Castillo’s supporters
show a refined understanding in realizing that the defense of the
president is linked to their own lived experiences of discrimination,
and above all, their future as a social group.

VIDEO: SOUTH AFRICA CP ON THE ANC
[[link removed]]
eNCA (Johannesburg)
The ANC has no backbone and is being used as a tool to serve
self-interest. That is the word from the SACP General Secretary,
Solly Mapaila. He was speaking during the party’s Red October Rally
in Umzimkhulu in KwaZulu Natal.
__________
PROFIT, COST OF LIVING, AND CLIMATE CRISIS
[[link removed]]
_João Camargo_ / Fight the Fire
This “cost of living” crisis has been directly provoked by the
oil and gas industries, and their historically high profits. It is a
super-exploitation, massive profit crisis, that directly takes wealth
from those who depend on fossil fuels, that is, all those that live in
modern societies, and hands it out to private fossil fuel companies.
__________
Sudan Resistance Digs In
[[link removed]]
_Pavan Kulkarni_ / Peoples Dispatch (New Delhi)
Attempts by the alliance of foreign powers, domestic right-wing
parties and the military junta to consolidate an authoritarian state
in Sudan will be defeated by mass-movements, insists the Sudanese
Communist Party.
__________
CHILE: VOTERS AND THE CULTURE OF THE LEFT
[[link removed]]
_René Rojas_ / Jacobin (New York)
In the October 2020 plebiscite, held one year after a mass uprising
against neoliberalism, Chileans overwhelmingly demanded a
constitutional rewrite by an entirely new set of representatives. But
the proposed constitution failed, not for being too “far left”,
but because it undermined a more effective working-class-oriented
politics founded in universal reforms with broad appeal.
__________
INDIGENOUS IN MOROCCO

_Shabnam Mayet_ / Waging Nonviolence (Brooklyn)
A rich history of cultural struggle has helped the Indigenous Amazigh
community lead one of Africa’s longest and most successful
anti-mining protests.
__________
ART, THE CIA, AND THE GLOBAL SOUTH
[[link removed]]
_Panthea Lee_ / In These Times (Chicago)
What might our world look like if some of the most celebrated writers,
artists and social scientists of the past two generations had not been
lured to prioritize individual introspection over collective struggle?
We will never know. Yet, because of _documenta 15_’s visionary
cultural organizing, we can see what a new alternative might
look like.
