TWO ECOSOCIALIST MEETINGS

_Maria Elena Saludas_ / Committee for the Abolition of Illegitimate
Debt (Liège, Belgium)
“It’s clear that we have differences on how socialism should be
today. But we agree on the fact that we are breaking away and that we
are anti-capitalist. There was agreement on the fact that the
movements of struggle—the territorial movements—are the places of
struggle. That’s where we can win.”

MIGRANT WORKERS AND STRIKES

_Goran Lukic and Tibor T. Meszmann_ / LeftEast
Migrant workers embody multiple contradictions of social, political,
and economic life that humanity faces in contemporary global
hypermobile capitalism: they are structurally weak, occupy vulnerable
and often outsourced positions under the controlling hands and
influence of employers or more complex state structures.

Firstpost (Noida)
Protests are escalating in Kenya over proposed new tax hikes in the
Finance Bill that is being tabled in the parliament. Thousands of
young protesters marched near President William Ruto's residence.
Protesters clashed with police who fired tear gas and water cannons to
disperse them. The bill is due to be debated and passed by June 30.

STRIKES IN CHINA [[link removed]]
_Simon Han and Jessica Song_ / Asian Labour Review (Hong Kong)
Since China’s market reform in the 1980s, the “world factory”
has witnessed waves of strikes in the manufacturing sector, especially
in the 2000s and early 2010s. However, factory strikes overall have
declined in number and scale since 2016, and the centre of strikes has
shifted from manufacturing to service sectors, particularly the
platform economy, and from coastal cities to China’s inland.

TURKISH UNIONS FIGHT GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE
[[link removed]]
_Marga Zambrana_ / Equal Times (Brussels)
A network of social partners, trade unions and feminist associations
promotes rights through information campaigns, training and audits,
and by forcing their application as occupational risk prevention in
collective bargaining agreements. The best strategy to curb violence,
they argue, is to increase the number of women among union
representatives and in leadership positions.

IN PRAISE OF LAZINESS
[[link removed]]
_Harrison Dressler and Daniel Tubb_ / Socialist Project (Toronto)
Today, not unlike the Keynesians, many leftists regard employment –
accompanied with education, housing, and childcare – as tantamount
to socialism itself. Even radical solutions to “social problems”
like homelessness pinpoint full-time employment as a prerequisite for
self-fulfillment. In labour, leftists mistake liberation; in work,
they confuse freedom.
