 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. The contradictions that drive capitalism to destruction also set into motion the conditions for its overthrow and the reorganization of society on a new and progressive, i.e., socialist, foundation. The death toll in Israel's genocide in Gaza has hit more than 30,000 for the first time, the Euro-Med human rights monitor said Friday, as the ongoing genocide in Gaza prepares to enter its fourth month. While Biden's presentation of Trump as the spearhead of a far-right drive for authoritarian rule was true, his attempt to present himself and the Democratic Party as defenders of democracy was utterly fraudulent. Thursday's high school shooting in Iowa resulted in the death of one sixth-grader as well as the shooter, injuring five others. School shootings resulting in mass killings are a social phenomenon, both in the US and internationally and reflect deeper social causes. The Zionists are keenly aware of the need to wipe out both witnesses of their murder spree in general and, specifically, anyone who might be capable of representing the terrible events in important creative work. At multiple points in their account of the meeting, the Teamsters and O'Brien referred to Trump as "President Trump," implicitly lending credence to Trump's baseless claim that the 2020 election was "stolen." The personal and political reverence of leading Left Party representatives for Schäuble, the long-serving chairman of the Christian Democrats and former finance and interior minister, is not simply a character quirk. It expresses the thoroughly pro-capitalist and right-wing essence of the Left Party. By "service", Starmer means the service demanded of the working by the capitalist class. By "national renewal", he means a renewal of their profits and of the armed forces. "Now is not the time to give in to the government," said one worker on social media. "Just because an agreement has been reached doesn't mean it's necessarily good for workers." The December 2023 US jobs report conceals broader trends, which point to a potentially sharp rise in unemployment in coming months. The California Faculty Association has announced a one-week systemwide strike set for January 22-26. The Moratuwa Magistrate Court is due to hear the case on January 8 against the two pro-government union thugs who physically attacked two members of the Socialist Equality Party in November. "Everything should be documented because if something was to happen, it shows that there's a problem in the system. It's got nothing to do with us not wanting to provide adequate care." While facts are still coming out, the limited evidence available points to the assailant as being a right-wing opponent of Lee Jae-myung and the Democrats. Healthcare workers at Michigan Medicine in Ann Arbor describe their fight to manage overcrowded Emergency Departments and over-capacity ICU's amid a lack of precautions and systems in place to contain the virus. China: Huolala parcel delivery drivers strike against exploitation; India: 30,000 outsourced municipal workers walk out to demand higher pay and permanent jobs; Australia: Geelong port workers strike for pay rise. The PSOE-Sumar government is now preparing to roll back all the concessions made to workers at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic and impose the dictates of the European Union on behalf of the banks and major corporations.
