 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. Leon Trotsky was the most significant figure in the history of socialism during the first four decades of the twentieth century, and his legacy remains the critical and indispensable theoretical and political foundation of the ongoing contemporary struggle for the victory of world socialism. The Democrats have engineered the indictment of Trump on a sex scandal while downplaying his real crimes against democratic rights and democracy itself. Two days after the victory of the conservative National Coalition Party in Sunday's election set the stage for a sharp shift to the right in domestic politics, Finland formally joined NATO Tuesday in a vast escalation of the US-NATO war on Russia. In a recent article, Fischer, a leading member of Germany's Greens, says what the Ukraine war is really about: the imperialist domination of the United States and the major European powers over Russia, China and the "global South." Amid growing anger with Macron's dictatorial imposition of pension cuts, WSWS journalists interviewed railworkers in Paris about the call to bring down Macron via a general strike. As the conflict between workers and the French capitalist state mounts, Lutte ouvrière is backing the union bureaucracies' moves to block a struggle to bring down Macron. The pseudo-left's latest phony act of "opposition" to Macron ended in a few Stalinist legislators hand-delivering a letter to Macron begging him to withdraw his attack on pensions. This review will document what is known about the science and impacts of Long COVID, the lessons that should have been drawn from previous post-viral illnesses and the refusal of world capitalism to address this massive and ongoing social catastrophe. Australian governments, including the current Labor administration, have repeatedly exercised their legal and diplomatic powers to secure the release of citizens facing persecution abroad. Postal workers spoke with World Socialist Web Site writers and representatives of post rank-and-file committees in Germany and Australia. Nursing union officials have called in police to help throttle a rank-and-file rebellion against their rotten pay-deal with the Tory government. This denial of a preliminary injunction is by no means a victory for the striking graduate students, who should place no faith in the bourgeois legal system. More than 160 faculty and staff at Chicago State University (CSU) went on strike Monday against low pay and high workloads, as administrators remained firm in their resolve to make workers pay for decades of budget cuts at public universities throughout the state. There is serious concern by the union bureaucracy, which has spent decades giving up one concession after another, that it could lose control of a restive and angry rank and file. CPKC will operate nearly 33,000 kilometres of rail and employ approximately 20,000 people across one of the world's largest free-trade zones under the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement. The DSA is working to provide a counterfeit "left" cover for the nationalist, pro-capitalist perspective which the UAW bureaucracy bases itself on. With time running out to spend the federal funds provided under the pandemic CARES Act, Michigan schools require billions more. This report is another warning that the Labor government is preparing to join an aggressive US-led war against China, and regardless of even pretences of adhering to international law. In 2011, seven men were convicted of drugging and raping more than 130 women and children between 2005 and 2009. An eighth man was later convicted of supplying the drugs.
