POWER, POPULISM AND THE GLOBAL LEFT
[[link removed]]

_Cihan Tugal_ / LeftEast

Since the 1970s, the world left has gradually lost its claim to
represent the total liberation of humanity from capitalism and
imperialism. This article will first describe three thwarted
strategies (new social movements, anarchist-autonomist uprisings, and
populism) and conclude with the latest searches these blockages have
led to.

THE GREAT SOLIDARITY MOVEMENT OF 2024

_Conor Tomás Reed_ / NACLA Report (New York)

This roundtable conversation brings together report-backs from
university solidarity encampments in Latin America and the Caribbean
as part of a broader horizon of struggles for Palestine. 

__________
MORE ANALYSIS ON SOUTH KOREA
[[link removed]]

_Hyun Ok Park_ / positions politics (Durham)

The direction of the South Korean future is not yet determined.
That’s why we need to talk about the tripartite crises of liberal
democracy, capitalism, and leftist politics (with a promissory note),
in which the candlelight protest has become a new normal. Assessing
these crises and asking where and how this repeated cycle of politics
can be broken is key to charting a new path forward.

__________
PALESTINIAN WOMEN AT A CROSSROADS
[[link removed]]

_Nafiseh Ghafournia_ / Green Left (Sydney)

The fight for Palestinian women’s liberation is deeply intertwined
with the fight for global justice. As we call for global feminist
solidarity, we must recognise that the struggle of Palestinian women
against gender-based violence is intricately linked to their
resistance against occupation and systemic oppression.

__________
NIGERIA: PEOPLE DON’T NEED A HERO COMPLEX
[[link removed]]

_Omole Ibukun_ / Africa is a Country (New York)

The intentional chorus of “leaderlessness” that emerged during
#EndSARS was because the Nigerian masses were experimenting with ideas
that could make their resistance movement far more difficult to
infiltrate, coerce, or dismantle—a goal that the Nigerian ruling
class has historically strived for. 

__________
EXTINCTION REBELLION’S DIRECT ACTION
[[link removed]]

The Canary (London)

On Wednesday 4 December, Extinction Rebellion activists
occupied the City of London offices of A&O Shearman – whose
lawyers facilitated more than $285 billion in fossil fuel transactions
between 2019 and 2023, the second highest amount for any legal firm in
the world – demanding they ‘Cut The Ties With Fossil Fuels’.

POST ELECTION IRELAND
[[link removed]]

_Daniel Finn_ / New Left Review (London)

This time last year, _Sinn Féin_ still seemed on course to surpass
its conservative rivals, the incumbent coalition partners _Fianna
Fáil_ and _Fine Gael_, by a wide margin. After a sharp drop in the
polls since the beginning of the year, _Sinn Féin_ was forced to
scale back its ambitions, hoping simply to maintain its position from
2020.

__________
HOW WORKERS DEFENDED BOLIVIAN SOCIALISTS
[[link removed]]

_Olivia Arigho Stiles_ / Jacobin (Brooklyn)

After the Bolivian ultraright launched a coup in 2019, a mass movement
restored the country’s socialist government — proof that it
isn’t elites that protect democracy but organized workers.

__________
70 YEARS OF _LE MONDE DIPLOMATIQUE_
[[link removed]]

Le Monde diplomatique (Paris)

Unlike many media organisations, the ‘Diplo’ decided not to treat
‘third world’ countries simply as actors on a geopolitical
chessboard, but to cover them as equal societies, with their own
internal political games, culture and social and intellectual
movements.
