The following article has been written by a CWO sympathiser. We publish it as a contribution to the discussion of the problem of transphobia from a class perspective. leftcom.org/en/articles/2026…
Make no mistake: these demands go beyond the situation of high schools in France. It is a revolt against the whole system that no longer promises them a future. Expressed here is a demand for dignity, a refusal to passively accept this miserable life. leftcom.org/en/articles/2026…

The publication in 2022 of "The End of Capitalism: The Thought of Henryk Grossman" by Ted Reese marks a renewed interest in the breakdown of the capitalist system and the forces driving capitalism towards this breakdown. leftcom.org/en/articles/2026…
The Soviet Union may have ceased to exist, yet the poisonous legacy of its apologists lives on. This book serves as an essential rejoinder to those so-called Marxists who wish to model the socialism of the future on the "socialism" of the past. leftcom.org/en/articles/2026…
Since 25 August, Airbus employees in Spain have been on an "indefinite" strike, after rejecting — in a referendum — an initial agreement negotiated between the unions and company management. This strike is in sharp contrast to previous mobilisations. leftcom.org/en/articles/2026…
We reproduce here a PCInt document from 1944, translated by the newly established Communist Prometheus group. leftcom.org/en/articles/2026…
The rise of nationalism and the populist right is both a defense mechanism of the ruling class and a consequence of high levels of social inequality. Moreover, the two factors are closely interlinked. leftcom.org/en/articles/2026…
The war in Ukraine has now dragged on for more than four years, the war in Palestine for nearly three. With the outbreak of the US-Israel war on Iran we have arrived at a new and dramatic turn in the global drive to war. leftcom.org/en/articles/2026…
Low wages, housing shortages, strained health services, and of course crime: these are very real issues, but getting rid of migrants won't resolve them. Only by organising together as one class can we hope to improve our common lot. leftcom.org/en/articles/2026…
The summer of 2026 has already surpassed records. What was once something of a rarity that might occur once in a generation has now become a regular event. leftcom.org/en/articles/2026…
The problem for our rulers is they have no answers to the ongoing capitalist crisis – shifting the personnel in charge will not save the sinking ship. leftcom.org/en/articles/2026…
As the flashpoints of capitalist crisis come together in one immense conflagration, we are hurtling towards what Marx and Engels once termed the “common ruin of the contending classes”. So it’s up to the working class to take matters into our own hands. leftcom.org/en/articles/2026…
The Cuban National Assembly unanimously approved a sweeping set of liberal economic reforms. These reforms grant a leading role to private capital, but the Cuban economy has always been a specific form of capitalism – state capitalism. leftcom.org/en/articles/2026…
AI undoubtedly represents an important factor in the development of productive forces but, for this very reason, it constitutes a formidable obstacle to the process of capital valorisation, and therefore to the reproduction of the social system. leftcom.org/en/articles/2026…
The repression of the social movement in Bolivia demonstrates the growing offensive of the Latin American bourgeoisie against the working class. leftcom.org/en/articles/2026…
In the UK local elections on 7 May, the ruling Labour Party suffered a humiliating defeat. This has (again) brought calls out into the open for Prime Minister Keir Starmer to quit. The figure seen as most likely to replace him is Andy Burnham. leftcom.org/en/articles/2026…
In 2026, therefore, the need for a proletarian and internationalist initiative is greater than ever. leftcom.org/en/articles/2026…
