The US War On China, Venezuela, And The International Left

November 14, 2025 Megan Russell and Michelle Ellner, Counter Punch. Strategize! China, US Imperialism, Venezuela, Wars and Militarism

Everywhere you look, the United States is at war– at home, through military occupation of cities, institutional violence, and state-sanctioned kidnappings, and abroad, through economic coercion, proxy warfare, and endless intervention. In times like these, when it is far too easy to be overwhelmed by the inexhaustible nature of the war machine, we must remember that these are not separate crises, but different fronts of the same struggle. And to resist one is to resist them all. The enemy, in every case, is U.S. imperialism.

Canadian Auto Isn’t In ‘Crisis’, It’s In Danger Of Extinction

November 14, 2025 Sam Gindin, Socialist Project. Strategize! auto industry, Canada, China, Tariffs, Worker Rights and Jobs

Canadian autoworkers have faced many crises over the years, but the present threat is distinct. Lana Payne, President of Unifor, has warned that “If we don’t push back hard against him [US President Donald Trump] and against these companies, we’re going to lose it all.” So far, the debate over what to do has started and stopped with Trump’s tariffs. But the threats go deeper, both for auto companies and for our ability as workers and citizens to determine democratically what kind of society we want – that is, for Canada’s substantive and not just formal sovereignty.

Civil Disobedience: Preventing Tyranny

November 13, 2025 Mick Hall, Consortium News. Strategize! Capitalism, Civil Disobedience, History, Police

Australian psychiatrist and author Dr. Niall McLaren believes civil disobedience presents a means of stopping domination hierarchies in a society spiraling towards outright fascism. McLaren believes humans have a natural disposition towards forms of domination and if left unchecked, a political system of “narcisso-fascism” arises. McLaren told In Context: We see this playing out in the world every day, but none clearer than in the U.S., where their president is obsessed to the point of mania with forcing everybody to do as he tells them: ‘Do as we say or we’ll slap tariffs and sanctions on you, we’ll deport you or blow you up.’ He doesn’t care how much he damages people or even his own country, as long as he can order people around, he’s happy. As is typical, he constantly tests the limits.

Impending Strike In Las Vegas Exposes Labor Abuses Nationwide

November 13, 2025 C.J. Polychroniou, Truthout. Strategize! Las Vegas, Service Industry, Service Workers, Strikes, Unions, Worker Rights and Jobs

Nearly 400 food service workers are set to go on strike at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas this week over wage disputes. They are underpaid and haven’t seen a raise in many years. This is the predicament facing many workers in the service industry, even though they play a critical key role in the contemporary capitalist economy. Gig and service sector workers are indeed among the most overexploited segments of the working class — struggling with low pay, lack of legal protection, and insecure employment.

Mamdani Will Follow The Path Of AOC, Bernie, And Brandon Johnson

November 13, 2025 Stansfield Smith, Popular Resistance. Strategize! Bernie Sanders, Democrats, Liberal class, Zohran Mamdani

The disenfranchised, cast aside people of the US find hope when an AOC, Brandon Johnson, Mamdani and Bernie Sanders campaigns and wins public office. These campaigns overcame corporate backed opponents, relying on people power not corporate financing, organizing many thousands of our fellow working people to participate. Yet, possessing public office does not change the economic and class structure of this country, where the real ruling power lies. Our country’s system, on the local, state, and national level, is a government of the rich, by the rich, and for the rich.

An Interview With A Chicago Teacher On Fighting Back Against ICE

November 11, 2025 Gwen Lee, Left Voice. Strategize! Chicago, Community Defense, ICE, Immigrant Rights, Schools, Teachers

Since early September, Chicago has been the latest target of the Trump administration’s brutal Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) raids. Trump has declared war on the city and threatened to send in the National Guard, — as he has done in Los Angeles and Washington, DC — with the intent of undermining what few protections exist for immigrants living in these cities and expanding federal repression against working-class and oppressed communities as a whole. Over the past two months, ICE has terrorized communities daily, including military-style raids in apartment buildings and even entering a daycare and abducting a teacher in front of her students.

If Trump Sells Student Loan Portfolio, Paths To Debt Cancellation Could Close

November 11, 2025 Kristin Collier, Truthout. Strategize! Higher Education, Privatization, Student Debt, Trump Administration

Trump administration officials are once again exploring the possibility of selling portions of the federal government’s $1.6 trillion student loan portfolio, held by about 45 million borrowers, according to recent reporting by Politico. Federal law dictates that such a sale cannot cost taxpayers any money. But, as Eileen Connor, executive director of the Project on Predatory Student Lending, told Politico, executing a deal that benefits both taxpayers and borrowers is nearly impossible. The federal government enjoys extraordinary powers of collection that private lenders do not — such as garnishing tax refunds, disability benefits, and Social Security payments. Absent those collection methods, private lenders make money through higher interest rates and longer repayment plans.

The Working Class Must Not Pay The Price For The Government Shutdown

November 10, 2025 Lila Walters, Left Voice. Strategize! Democrats, Donald Trump, Government Shutdown, ICE, Unions, Worker Rights and Jobs

Twelve days into the government shutdown, Vice President JD Vance threatened federal workers that they would feel the pain if Democrats did not agree to Republicans’ plan: “The longer this goes on, the deeper the cuts are going to be. To be clear, some of these cuts are going to be painful.” Beneath his usual grimace of performative empathy, Vance exposed the callous truth of this face off between the Democratic Party and Trump’s GOP: workers’ lives are nothing but a bargaining chip for the two imperialist parties. Left out in the cold by the Democrats and Republicans, the working class and poor are left to sort it out for ourselves. All workers, public sector and private alike, must demand that our unions take the side — not of the representatives of the bosses — but of the workers and oppressed, using their might to force an end to the shutdown, an end to layoffs and full backpay for all those furloughed, full employment and a living wage for all to feed their families, universal healthcare, and an independent, combative plan of action to fight all of Trump’s attacks on the working class.

Tell Lies, Claim Easy Victories

November 9, 2025 Calla Mairead Walsh, Orinoco Tribune. Strategize! Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (AOC), Barack Obama, Bernie Sanders, Democratic Party, DSA, New York (NY), New York City (NYC), NYPD, Zohran Mamdani

Zohran Mamdani’s victory was historic. So was Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s. So was Barack Obama’s. The blissful ignorance in response to Mamdani’s victory demonstrates a vast, abysmal void in revolutionary consciousness, organization, and leadership in the so-called United States. It speaks to our collective hunger for any supposed victory to grasp onto, no matter how illusory, a hunger to make ourselves feel like we have achieved something, anything, satiating our guilty selves with false hope. No matter how much he spits on the name of the Palestinian resistance, Mamdani obviously won because of the political ramifications of the Al-Aqsa Flood.

TDU At Fifty: From Rank-And-File Rebels To Establishment Defenders

November 9, 2025 Dan La Botz, Counter Punch. Strategize! Rank and File, Teamsters, Unions, Worker Rights and Jobs

Teamsters for a Democratic Union, which will be celebrating the group’s fiftieth anniversary at its convention being held in Chicago this November 7 to 9, has for decades been known as the voice of reform in the Teamsters Union. But this year there will be those inside and outside the convention hall challenging TDU’s direction and arguing that it has abandoned its ideal. At the center of the controversy is TDU’s support for Teamster president Sean O’Brien who is allied with President Donald Trump. Some Teamsters no longer see TDU as fighting for reform but rather as part of the establishment.

EU Movement Strengthens Call To Boycott Israeli Pharmaceutical Company

November 8, 2025 Ana Vracar, People's Dispatch. Strategize! BDS Movement, European Union (EU), Israel, Pharmaceuticals

Israeli pharmaceutical giant Teva is facing mounting pressure from Palestine solidarity groups across Europe. One of Israel’s largest drugs manufacturers and a major global producer of generic medicines, Teva has actively supported the genocide in the Gaza Strip since October 2023 and contributed to the erosion of Palestinian healthcare long before that, Giorgia Gusciglio, Europe Coordinator for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) Campaigns at the Palestinian BDS National Committee, told People’s Health Dispatch.

Basis For Climate And Environmental Liberation

November 7, 2025 Anthony Karefa Rogers-Wright, Black Agenda Report. Strategize! Big Greens, Class Struggle, climate crisis, Climate Justice, Environment, Environmental Justice, History, Liberation

In the last five years, certain environmental justice groups and their agents have enjoyed the selective largesse of mainstream environmental groups and governmental agencies at the federal and State level. On the one hand this has increased the ubiquity of environmental justice, at least rhetorically, as well as the operating budgets for select environmental justice organizations. But we must ask ourselves what was/is the cost for certain environmental justice organizations to enjoy being selected and hand picked as the “leading” groups and primary spokespeople for the environmental justice movement? And, equally important, what effects do these “selections” have on the larger environmental justice movement, especially those community-based, grassroots organizations that are accountable to the poorest and most polluted communities in the nation and, in some cases, as the case with Cancer Alley in Louisiana, the entire world?

No To FTAA: The Resistance That Lives

November 7, 2025 Telma Luzzani, Orinoco Tribune. Strategize! Evo Morales, Free Trade Agreement, FTAA, George Bush, Hegemony, History, Hugo Chavez, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, NAFTA, Neoliberalism, Nestor Kirchner, US Imperialism

On November 5, 2005, the history of Our America took an unexpected and perhaps irreversible leap forward in emancipation. On that spring day in Mar del Plata, Argentina, five South American presidents joined together to say “No to the FTAA,” and, in that gesture, they thwarted the old and cherished project of the United States that aimed to definitively take over our region, now in a legal manner. The epic story of our South American leaders is no small feat. After the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, the United States, with no challenges in sight, saw itself as the arbiter of global truths and decisions.

Grenada – Forward Ever: The Caribbean As A Zone Of Peace

November 6, 2025 Kwabena Dennot Nyack, Black Agenda Report. Strategize! Grenada, History, Revolution, the Caribbean, Zone of Peace

I am writing from a small country that once dared to imagine a different world. Grenada’s 1979 Revolution (the Revo’) offered a vision of dignity, solidarity and people’s power that still resonates today. Described by a 2019 Tribune Magazine article as “…a socialist revolution in the tiny Caribbean island of Grenada threatened to upturn the world economic order…”, the Revolution sought to bring about real change for its people and the world. When we said “Forward Ever, Backward Never”, it was not a slogan but a declaration of faith in our own humanity.

How El Salvador’s Labor Martyrs Shaped A Revolutionary Tradition

November 6, 2025 Devin B. Martinez, People's Dispatch. Strategize! El Salvador, Labor Movement, Unions, Worker Rights

October 31 in El Salvador is recognized as the Day of the Salvadoran Trade Unionist. This year’s commemoration event brought together veteran organizers and a new generation of grassroots leaders, bridging past and present struggles for workers’ rights and social change. “This date brings us back to the origin of labor organizing in our country,” asserted Marisela Ramírez, a leader of the Popular Resistance and Rebellion Bloc, at the rally at Cuscatlán Park in San Salvador, organized by the group. “We remember with dignity, the history of struggle, resistance, and sacrifice, of the labor movement in El Salvador.”
