The International Amazon Workers Voice, published by the World Socialist Web Site, serves as a platform to link Amazon workers in the US, Europe, Asia and Latin America in a unified fight for workers' rights and socialism.
Utterly opposed to mobilizing the social power of the working class against the giant corporation, the unions are promoting a diversionary consumer boycott, while urging workers to pressure Ottawa and Quebec City to intervene on their behalf.
If confirmed, the raid is an exposure of the Teamsters union, which covers workers at the facility and which openly backs Trump’s anti-immigrant racism.
This $2 trillion global behemoth applies the dictatorial principles of oligarchic rule: any effort by workers to challenge their hyper-exploitative working conditions is to be ruthlessly crushed.
The e-commerce giant has extended its reach into smaller markets and rural areas, a move that has significant economic implications for rural carriers and raises serious questions about the future of the United States Postal Service.
The International Amazon Workers Voice is assisting workers in the building of a network of interconnected rank-and-file committees of Amazon and logistics workers, as well as autoworkers, educators, and workers in other key sections of industry.

The following statement was written by a founding member of the Costco Workers Rank-and-File Committee (CWRFC) to be read at Sunday’s public meeting called by the International Workers Alliance of Rank-and-File Committees, “Mobilize the working class to save the US Postal Service and other federal programs!”
The CFPE calls on teachers and school workers to join our ranks to fight for decent conditions and wages for all educators, and a public education system that provides the highest quality schooling for all students.
Attendees at meeting called by the US Postal Workers Rank-and-File committee passed a resolution calling on workers to make preparations for “mass resistance, up to and including strike action.”
Sanders uses “left” rhetoric and demagogy to channel growing popular anger against Trump’s fascist policies back behind the Democratic Party.
In an effort to divert the mounting opposition from workers and young people to the fascistic policies of the Trump administration, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders has launched a speaking tour urging them to lobby moderate Republicans.
Jacobin magazine, associated with the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), published a politically backward and reactionary article last week titled “The Case for Social Drinking.” In it, writer Ryan Zickgraf railed against reports that Americans' alcohol use has significantly declined in recent years, a healthy trend.
There is nothing new in the efforts of Jacobin and the DSA to sow complacency and politically disarm the working class. This was their response to Trump’s attempted coup of January 6, 2021.
Over 150 people attended a meeting held by the pro-Palestinian Tahrir Coalition on Tuesday to oppose the escalating attacks on students protesting the US/Israeli genocide in Gaza by the University of Michigan.

The concert as a whole demonstrated the astonishing range of George Gershwin’s music—from the Broadway musical stage to the concert hall to the opera house (Porgy and Bess)—fusing blues and jazz rhythms with popular melodies and the late romantic classical tradition. It was music at once popular and uplifting, and profoundly democratic in its impulses and intentions.
The International Youth and Students for Social Equality (IYSSE) at UM denounces the ban on Students Allied for Freedom and Equality, the local chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine, and demands that it be immediately lifted and SAFE be allowed to function freely as a student organization on campus.

For the past several weeks, panicky reports and conspiracy theories have proliferated of “mystery” drones along the eastern seaboard of the US. They have been spearheaded by far-right political forces and social media influencers and facilitated by wall-to-wall coverage by the corporate media, including the broadcast networks and the cable news channels.
Woods repeats Trump’s fraudulent claims of being an anti-establishment figure while minimizing the dangers the working class faces from a Trump presidency.
There is one “justice” for the ruling class and something entirely different for workers and poor people.
On Thanksgiving Day 2024, the broad mass of the population has precious little to be thankful for. The crushing weight of inflated costs for all necessities—housing, food, healthcare, childcare, transport—continues to weigh on working class families. But there is an entirely different reality in the environs of the rich and the super-rich.
There should be no illusions that the withdrawal of former House member Matt Gaetz and his replacement by Pam Bondi as Trump’s pick for US attorney general will alter the fascist character of Trump’s cabinet or block Trump from obtaining Senate approval and Democratic Party acquiescence in his nominees.
Four days after the US elections, fascist President-Elect Donald Trump’s Republican Party is nearing control of all levers of federal governmental power.
The pre-election rush of these middle-class radical groups to coalesce behind Stein and the Greens exposes their reactionary role in opposing a political break by the working class with the Democratic Party and the capitalist two-party system.
The pro-imperialist “socialist” from Vermont argued there would be a “much better chance of changing US policy” under war criminal Kamala Harris.
As Kamala Harris crisscrossed battleground states with ultra-right warmonger Liz Cheney, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders appeared alongside Joe Biden in New Hampshire to tout the pro-corporate Inflation Reduction Act.
Declaring that her 1619 Project had been “borne out” by US political developments, Hannah-Jones employed its racialist falsifications of history to promote the campaign of Kamala Harris, while seeking to sow divisions on the basis of race within the growing movement of the working class.
The DSA Democrat is a stalwart supporter of the Biden administration, which has from the onset of the Israeli campaign of mass murder of Palestinians in Gaza last October 7 provided the Zionist regime with the arms and political and diplomatic support required for it to carry out its ethnic cleansing and genocide.
Republican groups are flooding the courts with suits designed to sow chaos, confusion and delay in the event of a Harris victory, while Trump and his fellow fascists in the GOP incite para-military violence on the basis of anti-immigrant agitation along the lines of their hysterical campaign against Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio.
