Alice Celik writes about the dissolution of the Kurdish Workers’ Party (PKK):

“[...] armed struggle is over; now is the time for a political strategy. A risky but calculated move, in response to a profound popular aspiration.”

Adam Jones reads “AI” politically:

“Data centres function as an increasingly central part of the nervous system of an imperial, techno-capitalist order. Democratic politics holds the right to question their present and future existence.”

Francis Parny calls for mobilization on May Day against Trump and the war-mongering capitalist class that he serves:

Kate Willett considers the groups funding and promoting the "Abundance" faction in the Democratic Party:

Youssef Bouchi writes on the importance of American socialism from his perspective as an Arab immigrant in Canada:

"Grassroots movements in the U.S. already understand this [...] Our task from the outside is to support them."

John Duncan argues that "We should follow Césaire and not Mollet. We should recognize the particulars of racial, gendered, disabled, LBGTQIA+—yes, the whole gamut of woke oppressions—and avoid mystifying abstraction. It is precisely the moment in which those “woke” particulars are under attack that we should grasp more tightly to solidaristic political action founded on that recognition that what divides us materially can unite us politically. A project in which universalism is not an imposition to fall in line with, but a goal to struggle towards. Rather than celebrate the death of woke, I say we revive and herald it."

John Duncan calls the Left to ‘recognise the divisions hidden by shallow liberal universalist attacks on “woke” and instead build a truly universal movement defined by solidarity.’

By writing The Peoples’ Era in 2014—a revolutionary theory for a “citizens’ revolution”—Mélenchon performed a Marxist analysis of contemporary capitalism and its crisis. He redefined the notion of “the people”, those for whom revolution is now necessary. He shed light on the objective necessity to break with the capitalist order. This break, this politics of rupture, is perfectly communist. And this is the heart beating in all the work of the France Unbowed: to unite the people around a program of rupture.
