France: neither one, nor the other!

The first round of the French presidential election has turned out as Macron had hoped, and as he had prepared for a long time. In 2017, Macron won 66% of the vote against Le Pen in the second round. Millions of voters who had voted for Mélenchon or Hamon at that time in the first round, mobilised to “block the far right” in the second round. For five years, the Head of State has been aiming for the repetition of this scenario.

Sign up for International Marxist University 2022: ideas to change the world!

The world is in a period of deep crisis. Capitalism and its apologists have proven unable to explain or resolve the problems facing the working class everywhere.

It is for this reason that we are proud to announce the launch of the International Marxist University 2022, a four-day online event organised by the International Marxist Tendency, dedicated to discussing the core ideas of Marxist theory and how we can use them to change the world.


USA: Interview mit Chris Smalls: Die Arbeiterbewegung ist erwacht!

Am 1. April 2022 stimmten die ArbeiterInnen des Logistikzentrums JFK8 in Staten Island (New York) dafür, als erster US-Standort von Amazon gewerkschaftlich organisiert zu werden. Jose del Paso und Tom Trottier von Socialist Revolution (der IMT in den USA) interviewten genau vor einem Jahr Chris Smalls, einer der zentralen Organisatoren dieses historischen Erfolgs. Das Interview zeigt die ausbeuterischen Arbeitsbedingungen bei Amazon ebenso gut auf wie der Kampf dagegen auf und erlaubt einen guten Einblick in das Bewusstsein und Stimmung von klassenkämpferischen Aktivisten wie Smalls.

O mundo está em um período de profunda crise. O capitalismo e seus apologistas mostraram-se incapazes de explicar ou resolver os problemas enfrentados pela classe trabalhadora em todos os lugares. Somente as ideias do marxismo oferecem uma explicação e uma saída. É por esta razão que temos o orgulho de anunciar o lançamento da Universidade Marxista Internacional 2022, um evento online de quatro dias organizado pela Corrente Marxista Internacional (CMI), dedicado a discutir as ideias centrais da teoria marxista e como podemos usá-las para mudar o mundo.


Balance de las elecciones en Francia: ¡Ni Macron ni Le Pen!

Millones de electores que votaron por Mélenchon o Hamon, en la primera vuelta, se movilizaron en la segunda para "bloquear a la extrema derecha". Desde hace cinco años, el Jefe de Estado apunta a la repetición de este escenario.

Ni l’un, ni l’autre !

Le résultat du premier tour de l’élection présidentielle est conforme à ce que la Macronie souhaitait et préparait de longue date.

Des millions d’électeurs ayant voté Mélenchon ou Hamon, au premier tour, s’étaient mobilisés au deuxième pour « faire barrage à l’extrême droite ». Depuis cinq ans, le chef de l’Etat vise la répétition de ce scénario.
