How Not-For-Profits Make The Housing Crisis Worse

August 30, 2026 Laurence Braun-Woodbury, Canadian Dimension. Create! Canada, Housing, Neoliberalism, Nonprofits

There is a blocky, 34-unit low-rise just east of the Bonnie Doon Bridge on Edmonton’s south side. The slate-grey, four-storey building, called Hope Terrace, opened its doors in late 2022 with a mandate to house people with a history of homelessness and fetal alcohol spectrum disorder. The people who live here have often led complex, difficult lives and have struggled to maintain housing in the private market. At Hope Terrace, they have access to the resources they need to thrive. Residents receive daily support from specially trained staff who are on site around the clock, helping with everything from emotional regulation and budgeting to food security, medical service integration, employment, and guest management.

Fujimori Faces The First Protests Of Her Administration

August 20, 2026 Pablo Meriguet, BreakThrough News. Resist! Fuel Prices, Keiko Fujimori, Mass Action, Neoliberalism, Peru

A wave of protests and demonstrations have rocked diverse regions of Peru in recent days. The recently inaugurated right-wing President Keiko Fujimori is facing, very early on, the first protests of her term. Several transport workers’ groups have taken to the streets due to the rampant rise in fuel prices plaguing the entire region. They also decided to halt their activities and blocked several roads in protest against prices that, they claim, are impoverishing them. Prices have skyrocketed across Latin America due to the US-Israeli war on Iran. Furthermore, Peru is experiencing a serious domestic supply shortage that dates back to March of this year, particularly at the state-owned oil company Petroperú, which distributes a significant amount of diesel and gasoline to various regions of the country.

Sandinistas’ Work During 16 Years Of Governing From Below Enabled Them To Regain Power

August 17, 2026 Stansfield Smith, Popular Resistance. Strategize! Daniel Ortega, Grassroots Movement, Neoliberalism, Nicaragua, Sandinista Revolution

Many revolutions or socialist governments existed the 1970s besides Nicaragua that later lost power or abandoned their socialist ideology by the 1990s. These include Mozambique, Angola, Zimbabwe, Guinea Bissau, Guinea, Tanzania, Congo (Stanleyville), Afghanistan, Grenada, almost in El Salvador, Portugal, Spain, and Ethiopia. In addition, the Communist Soviet Union collapsed (now 15 countries), along with East Germany, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, and Albania. When the Sandinistas lost the 1990 election these other socialist leaderships were already disintegrating or had already been overturned.

Neoliberal Policy Hollowed Out Universities

August 17, 2026 Reshmi Dutt-Ballerstadt, Truthout. Educate! Administrative Bloat, Austerity, Higher Education, Neoliberalism

If education is indeed the great vehicle of social and economic mobility, then higher education is no longer delivering the promise of the “American dream.” In fact, this “dream” has become a fiscal nightmare. Colleges and universities saw 9,000 job cuts and buyouts in 2025, and several college closures, mergers, and looming budget crises have already been announced in 2026. Portland State University is one of the most recent casualties, with a projected deficit of $35 million. How did we get here? Universities have been operating like corporations for quite some time now.

Colombia: De La Espriella Faces Criticism Over Earthquake Response

August 14, 2026 BreakThrough News. Educate! Colombia, De La Espriella, Earthquake, Neoliberalism

Just three days after Colombia’s new President Abelardo De la Espriella was sworn into office, an earthquake measuring 7.4 on the Richter scale struck the western part of the country. The quake was felt particularly strongly in the regions of Chocó, Caldás, Risaralda, and Valle del Cauca, among others, and was so powerful that it was even felt in neighboring Panama and Ecuador. So far, authorities have reported the deaths of 280 people, a figure that is rising steadily as the hours pass, especially considering that anywhere between 2,000 and 4,200 people are currently reported missing (the total number of missing varies according to different entities). In addition, more than 1,300 people have been injured, some seriously.

Congress Has A Responsibility To Reverse Water Crisis It Caused In Puerto Rico

August 11, 2026 Coenia Sanchez, In These Times. Educate! Congress, Infrastructure, Neoliberalism, Puerto Rico, Water

The air in Puerto Rico is thick with the vibrant, unmistakable rhythm of life. Parrots cut bright streaks across the sky from roof to roof, and iguanas bask lazily on the grass. But the more telling sounds of daily life are the water trucks lumbering through neighborhoods — or the hollow, dry hiss of household pipes when the taps give out yet again. Nearly nine years after Hurricane Maria tore through the island, a dangerous myth persists: that Puerto Rico’s ongoing humanitarian crisis is a failure of local resilience or an unavoidable consequence of climate change. This is a lie.

Can Worker Control Guide The World Past A Neoliberal Crisis?

August 9, 2026 Rebecca Harvey, Co-operative News. Strategize! Book Review, Cooperatives, Neoliberalism, Transformation, Unions, Worker Rights and Jobs

Workers’ self-management is on the rise, as a response to recurring neoliberal crises: this is the central argument in a new book co-authored by Professor Dario Azzellini, senior researcher at the Institute for Sociology, University of Duisburg-Essen with previous roles at the Autonomous University of Zacatecas (Mexico) and Cornell University (USA). In particular, Commoning Labour and Democracy at Work homes in on worker-recuperated enterprises (WREs), a form of workers’ self-organisation whereby workers restart troubled, bankrupt, or shuttered companies as co-operatives or other forms of democratic workplace.

The New Rules Of Carney’s Carve-Out Economy

August 3, 2026 Shiri Pasternak and Eve Saint, Canadian Dimension. Educate! Austerity, Canada, Deregulation, Mark Carney, Neoliberalism

It has been one year since Prime Minister Mark Carney introduced the Building Canada Act in Parliament. Since then, a succession of new laws has hollowed out legal protections for the environment, Indigenous rights, migration, and labour. The act itself establishes a fast-track approvals system for “projects of national interest” that authorizes ministers to override existing laws protecting the environment and Indigenous rights, including the duty to consult. A total of 19 government bills received royal assent during the spring sitting, while two other key pieces of legislation passed the House of Commons and will be taken up by the Senate this fall.

Wildfires In Europe Are Spreading And Intensifying

July 29, 2026 Ana Vracar, BreakThrough News. Educate! Austerity, France, Neoliberalism, Spain, Wildfires

Firefighters in France and Spain are working hard to contain devastating wildfires ahead of another heatwave expected to hit parts of Europe starting Tuesday, July 28. Tens of thousands of hectares of land have been scorched, and over 200,000 people were forced to evacuate their homes in France alone. Blazes are also ongoing in Italy, and the seasonal prognosis for the entire northern Mediterranean coast remains alarming. Europe has faced increasingly difficult wildfire seasons, exacerbated by climate change and austerity measures.

Milei Faces New Phase Of Opposition On The Streets Of Argentina

July 25, 2026 Pablo Meriguet, BreakThrough News. Resist! Argentina, Javier Milei, Mass Action, Neoliberalism

The World Cup did not pacify the unions, students, and opponents of Milei’s government in Argentina. They continued their mobilizations against the administration’s radical neoliberal austerity plan even while the country was competing in the World Cup finals. On the other hand, the administration did take advantage of this football frenzy to quietly approve oil exploration by a foreign company and sought Senate approval to increase the amount of land that foreigners can own in Argentina. This radical neoliberal agenda has been steadily advancing since the start of Milei’s term in December 2023.

The US And The CPC: A Tale Of Two Anniversaries

July 7, 2026 Carlos Martinez, Orinoco Tribune. Educate! American Revolution, China, Communist Party, Neoliberalism, Socialism, United States

This week features two anniversaries that, taken together, tell much of the story of our age. On July 1, the Communist Party of China marked 105 years since its founding. On July 4, the United States celebrates 250 years since the Declaration of Independence. The two milestones invite a comparison: what have these two political projects contributed to the world? The US was born in a revolution against empire and has spent much of its life building one. By one widely cited reckoning, the US has been at war for over 90 per cent of its history — from the wars of continental conquest to Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and Iran.

Requiem For America On The Fourth Of July

July 4, 2026 Chris Hedges, Scheer Post. Educate! American Revolution, Christian Fascism, Neoliberalism, US Empire

Neoliberalism, better understood by its less sanitized term cutthroat capitalism, is the poison that destroyed our democracy. It gave the billionaire class and corporations the ideological cover to impoverish the working class, impose crippling austerity, hollow out democratic institutions, buy off our two ruling political parties and deform our courts into appendages of corporations and the rich. Neoliberalism drove tens of millions of disenfranchised, desperate people into the arms of Christian fascists, who preyed on their despair and sold them the fantasy of magic Jesus.

Puerto Rico Faces Major Water Crisis

July 4, 2026 Pablo Meriguet, Breakthrough News. Educate! Infrastructure, Neoliberalism, Puerto Rico, Water

Puerto Rico continues to endure a prolonged water supply crisis that has caused enormous hardship and difficulties for the local population. The situation has affected hundreds of thousands of people on an island with a population of just 3.2 million. The crisis began in mid-June when authorities reported a serious leak in one of the pipes of the Superaqueduct, one of the island’s most important water distribution systems. While repair work was underway, two additional outages were identified, affecting more than 100,000 people in San Juan, Bayamón, Guaynabo, Caguas, Juncos, Loíza, and other surrounding areas.

Keralam’s Left Prepares To Defend Social Programs From New Government

June 30, 2026 Abdul Rahman, Breakthrough News. Organize! India, Kerala, Left Movements, Neoliberalism, Socialism

The left parties in India’s Keralam say they are laying the groundwork to launch mass struggles in defense of the state’s public sector and welfare system. As Keralam’s newly elected centrist government begins to push neoliberal economic policies, the state’s left says it will never accept the privatization of its public services. The various constituents of the Left Democratic Front (LDF) have already taken to the streets in the state to oppose some of the policy initiatives of the newly elected government, calling them contrary to the general political consensus of the state, which is rooted in welfarism.

The Obama Center Is A Monument To The More Effective Evil

June 14, 2026 Margaret Kimberley, Black Agenda Report. Educate! Barack Obama, Neoliberalism, Oligarchs, Presidential Library

“Barack Obama does not carry our burden, in addition to other burdens. He in fact promises to lift white-people-as-a-whole’s burden, the burden of having to listen to these very specific and historical black complaints, to deal with the legacies of slavery. That is his promise to them. That is what allowed him to amass huge, huge numbers of white votes. And he will amass larger and larger percentages of black votes now that black folks see that white folks will vote for Barack Obama.” - Glen Ford, January 9, 2008 The Obama Center, Barack Obama’s oligarch funded monument to himself, cost a grand total of $850 million to build.
