__________UKRAINE: NOTES ON HOW TO SURVIVE A WAR
[[link removed]]

_Aman Sethi_ / openDemocracy (London)

As Russia’s invasion of Ukraine grinds on, philosophers, poets,
anarchists and soldiers contemplate what they have lost, and what is
still to emerge.

__________WOMEN AND THE STRUGGLE OUTSIDE THE WORKPLACE

_Jess Spear_ / Rupture (Dublin)

The biggest social movement in Ireland in the last decade was the
anti-water charges movement. Working-class women, many of them
stay-at-home mothers, physically blocked the installation of water
meters and helped to organise and rally their communities to boycott
the tax. This is just _one _example of how working-class struggle
takes place in many deindustrialised, wealthy countries today.

__________South Africa Present and Past

__________SRI LANKA: FIRST YEAR OF THE LEFT IN CHARGE

_Janaka Biyanwila_ / Polity (Colombo)

The National People’s Power (NPP) in Sri Lanka achieved a
significant two-thirds parliamentary majority in the November 2024
elections, the largest single-party majority since 1977. The NPP’s
meteoric rise from a marginal ‘third force’ to the party of
government emerged from a division among the elites that was triggered
by the 2022 popular uprising, the _Aragalaya_.

__________COPENHAGEN: GREEN LEFT OUTPOLLS SOCIAL DEMOCRATS
[[link removed]]

_Cas Mudde_ / The Guardian (London)

After more than 100 years, Copenhagen no longer has a Social Democrat
mayor. Sisse Marie Welling, the new lord mayor, represents neither the
mainstream right nor the far right but the Green Left (_Socialistisk
Folkeparti_, known as SF). This should be a major wake-up call for
centre-left parties across Europe.

__________HAITI’S VICTORY AT VERTIÈRES, 1803
[[link removed]]

_Guillermo R Barreto_ / Peoples Dispatch (New Delhi)

Today, when US imperial arrogance threatens the entire continent with
its military power, we must remember that powerful imperial armies
have been defeated time and again by the Caribbean peoples. The Battle
of Vertières is a historical milestone that has been rendered
invisible by hegemonic historiography.

__________INDIA: MAOISTS IN RETREAT
[[link removed]]

_I.V. Ramana Rao_ / The Wire (New Delhi)

The recent surrenders of senior Maoist leaders Mallojula Venugopal and
Aasanna have provoked a complex debate about the political meaning of
capitulation. The government branded Maoism as a law and order
problem; its efforts are a new phase in the counterinsurgency campaign
– and a turning point in the dialectic of revolutionary politics.

__________CANADA’S NEW DEMOCRATS
[[link removed]]

_David Moscrop and Edgardo Sepulveda_ / Jacobin

The leadership race in Canada’s New Democratic Party has exposed
fractures between workers and professionals and between leader-driven
branding and party democracy. Its survival as a serious left-wing
force depends on successfully navigating these divides.
