The capitalist regime of the Islamic Republic, which carries out the programs of international neoliberalism, has begun an all-out attack on the workers of Iran under such pretexts as “the reorganization of the economy,” or “increasing the productivity of labour,” and so on. The intensification of the exploitation of labour power, the reduction of wages, the closure of whole sections of production units are the direct consequences of these policies. This policy has provoked protests by workers, nurses, employees, teachers, and teachers. For several years, these protests and struggles in defence of their wages and living standards have been growing steadily. During these protests, workers and labourers are increasingly vocalizing their economic demands and their rights to create autonomous organizations.

The Reasons for the US-Israeli Aggression against Iran “It is important to remember that the Islamic Republic of Iran — and more broadly the Iranian capitalism it administers — is not a simple passive victim of this warlike configuration. It is a fully-fledged player, committed to its own logic of power, internal consolidation and regional influen...

The Key to Climate Action Is Building Working-Class Power

No amount of knowledge of science or moral concern about our children will, on its own, reverse this. Given the civilizational scale of the transformation required, replacing an entire global infrastructure system that still depends on fossil fuel for 80 percent of its needs, we need large-scale political power.

The Key to Climate Action Is Building Working-Class Power We can’t address climate change without the working class. Matt Huber argues that an explicit political or rhetorical focus on the climate crisis itself may not be helpful in that effort.

People’s Summit for a Fossil Free Future

The People’s Summit for a Fossil Free Future is the civil society counterpart to the historic First International Conference on Transitioning Away from Fossil Fuels, taking place in Santa Marta from 24-29 April 2026.

The People’s Summit was held from the 24 to 26 of April and serves as a critical space for self-organized civil society to unify our demands and build collective power from the ground up. It is based on a global process for deepening and widening broad movement consensus on a more comprehensive agenda for a rapid, equitable, and just energy transition, culminating in the adoption of three key papers: the Principles; the Demands; the People’s Roadmap.

Israeli soldiers went door to door in the border village of Ain Arab, forcing residents from their homes at gunpoint as part of a systematic campaign to empty large swathes of southern Lebanon.

The forced expulsion of Ain Arab—where Israeli soldiers went door to door, forcing residents from their homes at gunpoint—was a striking example of the Israeli military’s campaign to ethnically cleanse villages across southern Lebanon. Human rights advocates and locals told Drop Site they hadn’t heard of a similar incident occurring in this latest phase of the war—the Israeli military typically bombs and shells areas to forcibly displace residents. Over 1.2 million people have been displaced in Lebanon since March 2, and many have no idea if or when they will be able to return to their homes.

Canada’s most expensive election promise was climate inaction

When indirect climate impacts are considered, such as lost productivity due to extreme heat and supply chain disruptions, the total costs of climate change to the Canadian economy were likely greater than $20 billion last year.

That’s a lot of money—enough to pay for many of the federal parties’ big-ticket election promises—but it ultimately amounts to less than one per cent of Canada’s GDP. At present, the costs of climate change are small enough to be absorbed by the economy and diffuse enough that they can be—and are being—generally ignored by politicians.

“I Am a Jew”: Jeffrey Wernick’s Moral Reckoning With Netanyahu’s Israel

In one of the most emotionally charged and morally uncompromising statements yet from a Jewish public intellectual, investor and commentator Jeffrey Wernick delivers a direct rebuke to Benjamin Netanyahu’s vision of Israel — not from outside Judaism, but from deep within its ethical tradition. Rejecting the idea that military expansion, domination, or “Greater Israel” can be reconciled with the teachings of the prophets, Wernick invokes voices long ignored by history: Ahad Ha’am, Martin Buber, Albert Einstein, and Hannah Arendt — all of whom warned that a state built on the degradation of another people would ultimately betray Judaism itself.

Contesting the Iran War: From the Left to Iran's Social Movements

The wars against Iran, and whatever further military confrontations may lie ahead, are the product of three interrelated historical currents, each bearing a degree of responsibility: American imperialism in its drive to maintain and extend global hegemony; Israel and global Zionism in its pursuit of a Greater Israel; and the clerical/military/economic oligarchy of the Islamic Republic in its drive to maintain and expand its own religious dominance.

Contesting the Iran War – Socialist Project Seventeen years ago, in the wake of the Green Movement’s uprising and its suppression – when Iran had once again drawn the attention of right- and left-wing analysts worldwide – I wrote an article titled “The Tragedy of Left Discourse on Iran,” in which I critiqued the mistaken views of…

Ontario’s higher education sector is at a breaking point. From the systematic marketization of colleges and universities to the sustained attack on labour rights, the provincial government’s strategy is clear: treat education as a commodity rather than a social good.

Join us for a political discussion as we analyze the maneuvers of Doug Ford government’s — including the devastating shift from OSAP grants to loans, the manufactured "international student crisis," and the broader austerity agenda threatening social equality.

We explore strategies for a labour and community-led response, highlighting ongoing student and labour fightbacks and providing a direct opportunity for attendees to plug into the organizing work necessary to defend, expand, and decommodify our public institutions.
