Internationalism Today: An Interview with Paweł Wargan
What does a progressive foreign policy look like today? How should we understand imperialism? What is at stake in reclaiming an internationalist political horizon for the left? What forms of organization are best adapted for a new international? Given the many contemporary global challenges—such as climate change, far-right extremism, pandemics, and the increasing threat of nuclear war—it is urgent to develop a strategic, organizational, and theoretical perspective for the international left. Paweł Wargan discusses these and other questions in the interview that follows. Researcher, activist, and coordinator of the secretariat of the Progressive International, Wargan is well suited to highlight the prospects for a new internationalism today. The interview is conducted by Daniel Benson, assistant professor of French and Global Studies at St. Francis College and the editor of Domination and Emancipation: Remaking Critique (Rowman and Littlefield Publishers, 2021).Read more

What Is to Be Done?
By Richard Wolff In 1863, the Russian social critic, Nikolay Chernyshevsky, published a novel entitled “What Is to Be Done?” Its story revolves around a central heroine, Vera Pavlovna, and her four dreams. It brilliantly intertwines her personal life and the social turmoil of Russia’s transition at the time from feudalism to capitalism. Chernyshevsky, a revolutionary imprisoned by the Czarist government, wrote a novel that was nothing less than a pioneering work of socialist feminism. In it, he also passionately appealed for an urban, industrial economy based on worker cooperatives, a modern and transformed version of Russia’s earlier agrarian communes. An appreciative Lenin entitled one of his most important political pamphlets, published in 1902, “What Is to Be Done?”Read more

Rusija: Šta se dešava nakon „zabrane LGBT“?
... S obzirom na to da organizacija koja je proglašena zabranjenom ne postoji i da sam tekst sudskog rešenja nije poznat, nije moguće ni pretpostaviti šta će se smatrati krivičnim delom: u praksi će to odlučivati policija i sud. Takav nejasno definisan pojam ekstremističke organizacije primorava ljude da pribegavaju samocenzuri i dovodi ih u stanje konstantnog straha jer ne znaju da li bi bilo koji od njihovih postupka mogao biti smatran ekstremističkim...Read more

Mainstream media and politicians are decrying a surge in antisemitic incidents in Europe, as Israel continues its indiscriminate bombing of Palestinians in retaliation for the Hamas attack of October 7. But these pronouncements have also sparked accusations of Islamophobia. Some politicians and commentators have implied that antisemitism is intrinsic to Muslim communities. Meanwhile, European leaders and institutions are intensifying their crackdown on public solidarity with the Palestinian cause, banning protests, cancelling events, and creating a climate that challenges Europe’s commitment to free speech. What’s the reality behind these disturbing dynamics? What repercussions might there be for the wider Middle Eastern context? And, of course, what can we all do about it?Read more

Prečnik bombe
Mnogo manje bola ti zadaje kada pišeš onako kako moraš. Unutrašnje mučenje se povećava kada odlučiš da zaćutiš, uprkos porivu da kažeš nešto bitno, ali i kada pokušaš da napišeš nešto tuđom rukom i pameću.Read more

NY Times Writers Jazmine Hughes & Jamie Keiles Resign, Join Letter Against Israeli War on Gaza
Democracy Now! speaks to award-winning writers Jazmine Hughes and Jamie Lauren Keiles in their first broadcast interview since being forced out of The New York Times Magazine for signing an open letter condemning Israel's siege on Gaza. The magazine's editor Jake Silverstein said the letter violated the outlet's policy on public protest, but Keiles says there are no clear guidelines, especially for contributing writers. He explains he signed on to the letter due to his disappointment in the journalistic standards missing from mainstream coverage of the war in Gaza, saying "this is an industrywide question." Both writers say their former institution's scrutiny of pro-Palestinian activism is a double standard that indicates tacit support for Israel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRk-iR6gGoURead more
