French workers have a long revolutionary history. As they like to point out to President Macron when he is acting like a king, a particularly self-satisfied king, the last feudal king of France was guillotined during the 1789 Revolution. Macron and his gang are refusing to bargain because the ruling classes of the European Union and North America are united with them against the French unions. Some explicit class solidarity from workers in other countries could only help the workers in France, whose victory would be a victory for workers worldwide.
Despite government attacks: Workers, students in France stay strong

Since President Emmanuel Macron and Prime Minister Élizabeth Borne rammed through the “reform” of France’s pension system March 16 — an attack which will require workers to work longer to obtain a full pension — the class struggle has grown more intense. Millions of workers struck on Marc...www.workers.org/2023/03/70089/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=the-banking-crisis-will...
Discussing the dimensions of the banking crisis and where it’s headed is essential, but it’s not enough. It is vital that revolutionaries, socialists and communists understand and respond to the dangerous political crisis that all of this creates for the working class. Either the working class and oppressed and their organizations and movements turn this crisis into an opportunity to get organized — rising up and breathing life into a militant, massive, class struggle against capitalism — or the neofascist forces will fill the vacuum, build up their strength and open up an all-out war on the working class.
The banking crisis: Will it push the working class or fascism to rise up? - a WW commentary

The capitalist ruling class is worried that the banking crisis, which began less than a month ago with the collapse of the Silicon Valley Bank and quickly spread, could ultimately mushroom into a global financial crisis bigger than the crash of 2008. All talk of a “soft landing” has ended. The t...www.workers.org/2023/03/70085/

No matter how large or small, no class struggle can be put into its social context without understanding the current global capitalist economic crisis. Neoliberal policies flow from long-term and short-term fluctuations within the capitalist system, which no ruling class can ultimately control.Thank you L. 8751 Boston School Bus Drivers Union for providing sound at Boston’s Stop Trans Genocide March on 3/18/23!

Right ON, Buffalo! "Amidst a rising tide of transphobia in the U.S., with a wave of anti-trans legislation by several states, ubiquitous anti-trans rhetoric from the right and threats, demonstrations and attacks against LGBTQ2S+ events around the country, we must remain vigilant and ready to show solidarity with our trans siblings — and defend them by any means necessary."

3/14/23 - In his arguments evaluating World War I over 100 years ago, the Russian revolutionary V. Lenin demanded a “revolutionary defeatist” position of the workers’ party in each country against their own imperialist ruling class. In Workers World newspaper, we have been explaining the dangers of NATO expansion for the last 30 years. We are for the defeat of this NATO offensive today.
The demonstrations this coming weekend demand that the U.S. and NATO stop their war against Russia, stop arming the Kiev regime and end all sanctions against Russia. Why do we focus our criticism on NATO? Because any gain of NATO is a threat to workers here and globally. Any setback for U.S. imperialism and its NATO war machine strengthens the workers globally.

As Workers World Party’s First Secretary Larry Holmes wrote in October 2022, “This is no normal economic downturn. However long and drawn out this economic crisis is and whatever events push it forward, it’s the development that many Marxists (as well as bankers and billionaires who are willing to utter words of truth) consider to be the biggest global capitalist economic crisis in history. The capitalist crisis that is under way is unique in that it is symptomatic of a dying system entering its end-stage.”

It is often the case that, when the capitalist system is on the verge of a crisis, the period leading up to it is marked by buoyant explosions of optimism. On Oct. 25, 1929, President Herbert Hoover proclaimed that the U.S. economy was “on a sound and prosperous basis.” Four days later the stock...www.workers.org/2020/03/46682/

The Biden administration announced Jan. 30 its intent to end the national emergency and public health emergency declarations related to the COVID-19 pandemic on May 11, 2023.
While the threat of medical care rationing may have diminished with the reduction in the number of COVID-19 cases, the Disability community is still disproportionately negatively impacted by the pandemic, in ways that expose a society that values profit over human life.
The announcement declaring the pandemic over means the ruling class will be turning its back on the Disability community and pulling the plug figuratively on addressing the hardships.
