HOW TO BE AN ETHICAL COMMUNIST
[[link removed]]
_Raymond Suttner_ / Polity (Johannesburg)
When I joined the South African Communist Party, I was told that the
definition of a communist is to be a member of the Communist
Party. Where a Communist Party no longer adheres to the ethics of
communism, it is important for one to find a way of realising those
ethics, of helping others who experience pain and oppression, from
outside the Communist Party.

Al Jazeera (Doha)
Thousands of Tunisian trade unionists have held protests across the
country over worsening economic woes and the arrest of a top union
official. Demonstrators in Sfax, where the largest protest took place
on Saturday, chanted “Tunisia is not for sale!” and “No to
removing subsidies!” Some raised loaves of bread as a symbol of
protest at soaring living costs.

NEW LEADER FOR ITALY’S CENTER-LEFT

_Andrea Carlo_ / Euronews (Lyon)
Italy’s Democratic Party (PD) has selected Elly Schlein as its new
leader. Young and openly bisexual, a feminist and impassioned
pro-European, she posits herself as a “real” leftist -- one who
appeals to society’s most disenfranchised. Media outlets have
described Schlein as the “anti-Giorgia Meloni”, and compared her
to US Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

_Maggie Schmeitz_ / Stabroek News (Georgetown, Guyana)
A peaceful mass protest against the killing cost of living, held on
the Independence Square in Paramaribo, turned into a violent
confrontation between citizens and armed forces. Shots were heard and
tear gas was used to disperse the crowd that included children,
elderly, and persons with disabilities.

PHILIPPINES: MARKING THE FIGHT AGAINST THE MARCOSES

_Lance Spencer Yu_ / Rappler (Manila)
Various groups vowed to keep the spirit of the mass anti-dictatorship
uprising alive as the Philippines commemorated its first People Power
Revolution anniversary under another Ferdinand Marcos. Several groups
drew parallels between the ousted Marcos Sr. regime and the current
administration of his son.

JEWISH APPLAUSE FOR BARCELONA

International Jewish Collective for Justice in Palestine
From many cities around the world, our members celebrate Barcelona
Mayor Ada Colau’s decision to cut ties with Israel until everyone
in Israel/Palestine fully enjoys their rights, safety, and
self-determination. We thank Barcelona’s mayor and citizens for
refusing to look away from abuses that they would not tolerate in
their own streets.

_Aoki Kotaro_ / Asian Labour Review (Seoul)
One of the most important events in the Japanese labor movement’s
calendar is the Spring Offensive. This year, labor organizers
announced a Spring Offensive for Non-Regular Workers. An organizer
talked about efforts to mobilize workers on part-time, temporary or
dispatch contracts, and why this is important for revitalizing the
labor movement.

_Colman O'Sullivan_ / RTÉ News (Dublin)
Veteran civil rights activist Bernadette McAlliskey was at the head of
the march. She told RTÉ News that there is plenty of room in
Ireland, the problem is not refugees, the problem is the way the
country is organised. The marches come amid rising numbers of
anti-refugee and asylum seeker protests around the country in recent
weeks.
