The emergence of a new, highly-transmissible variant of COVID-19 threatens to deepen the coronavirus crisis. This disastrous setback is the entirely predictable result of capitalist profiteering. The alternative is clear: socialism or barbarism.
The refugee crisis is growing day-by-day. The victims of imperialism are being trapped on the Belarusian border or drowned in the English Channel. Reactionary politicians in the UK and EU are throwing up barriers. We say: bring down the borders!
Despite all the fanfare in advance, the latest UN climate summit concluded with little to show for itself, as capitalist politicians refused to commit to urgent action. The fight against climate catastrophe must be a fight for revolution.
This week’s planned protests in Cuba ended in failure, with the forces of reaction unable to mobilise ordinary people to their cause. On the other side, young communists are beginning to organise in defence of the Cuban Revolution.
The Cuban Revolution is at a decisive crossroads. The economy is in crisis; discontent is rising; and reactionary forces are mobilising. The only way forward is on the basis of workers’ democracy and international socialism.
