Hungary’s hard-right premier Viktor Orbán is no longer in power. But he’s getting a belated victory as activist Rexhino Abazaj, known as Gino, is being extradited for trial over an alleged attack on fascists in Budapest.

As the Brazilian presidential election draws closer, Lula is in a very tight contest with Flávio Bolsonaro, son and heir of the Bolsonaro dynasty. The election is a struggle between Brazil’s democratic forces and the return to power of a reactionary bloc.

Amazon has long been synonymous with workplace surveillance. With the introduction of “smart delivery glasses,” the logistics giant may soon ensure that not a moment of its drivers’ time on the clock will go unwatched.

Democracy should not end when the workday begins. Workers deserve a say over how their workplaces are run — and a claim on the wealth they create.

Britain once built a government advertising agency for empire, and modernist artists helped market colonial rule.

Lance Oppenheim’s Primetime casts Robert Pattinson as Chris Hansen and bathes him in hellfire-red close-ups. The result is a grimy fever dream about the ugly thrills of televised punishment. It is very much a movie for our times.

Several outside actors have stoked the flames of war in Sudan, but none has had as great an impact as the United Arab Emirates. The evidence of its destructive role is overwhelming, but the Gulf kingdom’s Western allies have turned a blind eye to it.

Since the fall of the Soviet Union, the US government, across Republican and Democratic administrations alike, has been slowly dismantling what was once the most generous asylum system in the world.

Nearly 2,000 workers at Blizzard, a Microsoft-owned video game studio that makes popular games like Diablo, won their first union contracts earlier this month. Their protections include recall rights and guaranteed severance packages for laid-off workers.

After doing lasting damage to the relationship between the US and Europe, Donald Trump got roughly the same deal over Greenland he could have obtained by asking politely. The administration’s plan to acquire the island has been put on the back burner.

Architects and designers are often left carrying out the orders of developers interested only in maximizing profits. But a new book argues they have a vital role to play in transforming our built environment in a world transformed by climate change.

Mark Carney wants to make Canada a destination for global investment. To this end, his new omnibus bill casts the right to strike as an obstacle to the “national interest” — and organized labor as a barrier to national strength rather than its foundation.

A crop of recent polls shows that socialism’s appeal is surprisingly broad. They also reflect a transformed US political landscape that is ripe for a socialist politician to capitalize on — if they’re willing to step up.

Don’t let the baby boomers moderate the Beatles’ politics. They were undeniably men of the Left.

Socialists aren’t anywhere near powerful enough to overcome capitalism, but we are now a force to be reckoned with in mass politics. This opportunity requires wrestling with the challenges of governing under capitalism rather than relying on old dogmas.

Fifty years ago, British Labour leader James Callaghan used his party conference speech to promote some of the key ideas associated with neoliberalism. A close look at the speech can help explain why neoliberalism keeps defying predictions of its demise.

Saudi Arabia has spent years trying to build up its Yemeni allies against its main opponent, Ansar Allah. Ansar Allah’s sudden military offensive over the last few weeks shows that this project has been a failure, despite all the money spent on it.

The militias wreaking havoc in Sudan also profit from plunder and can pay their recruits a wage much higher than any civilian job available to them. This simple calculation is one of the most important factors behind the country’s horrifying war.

Part of California’s labor movement wants to tax billionaires to save health care for 15 million Californians. Another part, close to Gov. Gavin Newsom, doesn’t — and is promoting suspiciously timed charges of abuse about a pro-tax union leader.

At a Walmart distribution center in Mississauga, Ontario, workers have made history by winning the first-ever union contract with the logistics giant in North America. Their fight has meant pay raises for the company’s workers across Canada.

Having long boasted about putting their own countries’ interests first, Europe’s far-right parties are now slavishly supporting the latest US-Israeli war. While they opt for vassalage, antiwar forces have turned out to be the real defenders of sovereignty.

It is fashionable to mock Francis Fukuyama as an uncritical celebrant of neoliberal capitalism. But The End of History offered a powerful analysis of the origins of right-wing populism that has proved prescient in the Donald Trump era.

We don’t need to wait around for a potential artificial intelligence catastrophe sometime down the road. We can already see the havoc it’s wreaking across our society right now.

For migrant workers in India, supply shocks from Trump’s folly in the Strait of Hormuz are causing hunger.

Working people in America are facing a crisis of living standards, Sam Gindin argues, but this has not translated into a crisis for the capitalist system. To challenge ruling class power, the Left still needs to sink deeper roots into the labor movement.
