HOW THE LEFT CAN BUILD ITS OWN POLITICS
[[link removed]]
_Hilary Wainwright_ / Red Pepper (London)
James Schneider, a co-founder of Momentum, argues for a federated
‘left bloc’ with a secretariat whose main function would be to
co-ordinate, facilitate and share information. This argument starts
from the fact that though anti-establishment and socialistic values
are widespread in the UK, there is no longer a political party to
bring them together under a single banner.

DIE LINKE’S OPTIONS

Die Linke is at a crossroads. It will only be able to survive if it
overcomes its internal disputes and consistently sharpens its value as
a militant party for social justice. It must be present on the streets
and in the squares, in alliance with trade unions, social movements,
civic associations, and other interest groups.

AFRICAN ENVIRO ACTIVISTS FIGHT FOR REPRESENTATION

Cop27, which has been termed “the African Cop”, the UN climate
talks in Egypt in November, threatens to take place without African
activists advocating for communities devastated by drought, floods and
fossil fuel projects in the negotiations when life-or-death decisions
about climate finance will be made.

SOCIALISTS STAND OUT IN
[[link removed]]QUÉBEC
ELECTION
[[link removed]]
_Rick Salutin_ / Toronto Star
The only separatist party with any energy now is Québec Solidaire,
which is both seriously socialist and seriously separatist. They were
the only oppo party to gain rather than lose seats (up one, to 11) and
got more votes than the others. The mainstream media just don’t know
how to deal with genuine leftists.
__________
REBUILDING THE ITALIAN LEFT
[[link removed]]
_Luciana Castellina_ / transform! Europe (Vienna)
Reconstructing the Italian left is possible, but it is something that
will take a long time, and it does not consist in copying the
‘Mélenchonian’ project, because it is not enough to put together
little pieces of defeated parties as was done in France. It has to
start from society, reconstructing a network of communities and
projects.
__________
A MESSAGE TO XI
[[link removed]]
_Katsuji Nakazawa_ / Nikkei Asia (Tokyo)
In a video prior to the 20th Congress of the Communist Party of China,
the oldest party leader, Song Ping, called for reform, using Xi
Jinping's own words to send a message to the top leader.
__________
BUILDING A STRONG DEMOCRATIC LEFT IN THE SPANISH STATE
[[link removed]]
_María Corrales_ / Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung (Brussels)
Spain Labor Minister Yolanda Díaz announced a new electoral project,
Sumar (Spanish for “to add”), with a clear message: Sumar is
neither a political party nor a coalition; it is a “citizen
movement” whose goals are to “expand democracy” and “build a
country for the coming decade”.
