GERMAN ELECTION: PROTESTING AFD WIN
[[link removed]]

_Deborah Cole_ / The Guardian (London)

Thousands of Germans have staged protests against the far-right
Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) after the party’s watershed
victory in a state election, warning it posed a danger in two more
polls this month. Demonstrators at Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate held a
peaceful pro-democracy rally denouncing the anti-immigrant,
pro-Russian AfD.

RUSSIA’S PRESENT AND FUTURE

_Ivan Drury Zarin and Mikhail Lobanov_ / Against the Current (Detroit)

Altogether we see a huge number of initiatives and can understand what
we can do and what infrastructure we need in order to help these
initiatives grow. In doing this we help activist and researcher groups
survive and develop their activities. We are creating an
infrastructure for the future.

GENERATION Z IN IRAN

_Sharareh Akhavan_ / Socialist Project (Toronto)

After 47 years of strict ideological and authoritarian social control,
the rulers of the Islamic Republic appeared unable to comprehend the
extent to which Generation Z had become detached from (and in many
respects, resistant to) the values and norms the regime had sought to
instill. Reformists, republicans, left-wing activists, and other
opposition groups were also astonished.

HOW TO RESPOND TO THE DISASTER IN NEPAL

_Partido Lakas ng Masa_ / Links (Sydney)

Development is largely organised through competing national agendas,
corporate investment and individual projects. The alternative is
democratic regional planning that meets social needs within ecological
limits, directs public investment toward these goals, and ensures an
equitable distribution of benefits and risks.

TURKISH-KURDISH PEACE PROCESS
[[link removed]]

_Ezgi Akin_ / Al-Monitor (Washington DC)

Turkey’s peace process with Kurdish militants has entered an
implementation phase, with authorities setting up working groups to
verify the disarmament of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) and decide
further legal and civil steps. The PKK, which waged an armed
insurgency against Turkey since 1984, announced in 2024 that it would
disband and dissolve itself.

UKRAINE: PEOPLE-TO-PEOPLE SOLIDARITY
[[link removed]]

Ukraine Solidarity Network (US)

The Ukrainian working class buttressing Ukraine’s resistance to
Russia’s invasion and occupation needs solidarity from their
counterparts in trade unions and progressive social movements
elsewhere. They face Russian tanks and Western banks, but also
domestic oligarchs who continue to be little taxed, investigated, or
regulated under the neoliberal policies of the Zelensky government.

HYUNDAI STRIKE A BREAKTHROUGH IN SOUTH KOREA

DRM News (Dubai)

[MODERATOR’S NOTE: Under terms Hyundai and its union reached
following the August 21 strike, base salaries rise 4.1 percent and
workers receive a performance bonus equal to 400 percent of base pay,
plus additional cash and bonus payments layered on top. Hyundai also
committed to hiring 500 new technical workers next year, and agreed to
keep negotiating over job security.]

__________

THE ECONOMICS OF THOMAS SANKARA
[[link removed]]

_Ferdinand Ouedraogo_ / Tricontinental

For Sankara, economics was first and foremost a political, moral and
anti-colonial project: a means through which a people could become
masters of their own destiny. In this sense, he stands in the
pan-African revolutionary tradition of Kwame Nkrumah’s critique of
neocolonialism, Amilcar Cabral’s theory of national liberation and
Julius Nyerere’s experiments in self-reliant development.
