| | The lectures in this volume are a penetrating analysis of the reactionary ideological and political foundations of Zionism and a powerful call for international action by the working class in defense of the Palestinian people.
David North's first lecture, delivered at the University of Michigan on October 24, 2023, placed the Israeli onslaught against Gaza in the context of the Zionist oppression of the Palestinian people. The second lecture, given at the University of London's Birbeck College on November 18, 2023, reviewed the history, dating back to the 19th century, of socialist opposition to Zionist politics and ideology. In the third lecture, presented at Berlin's Humboldt University on December 14, 2023, North subjected the claim of the German government that opposition to Zionism is "antisemitism" to withering criticism.

"The genocide in Gaza by the IDF is the open expression of the underlying genocidal logic of Zionism. Zionism from its beginnings has been an instrument of imperialism. Israel's Final Solution in Gaza is the Middle Eastern front of the imperialist war for global domination by the US and its European allies, while the other front is the Ukraine proxy war against Russia. The Trotskyist perspective of world revolution, articulated in this book by David North and the ICFI, is the only vantage point from which the history of the present can be witnessed with clarity."

It argues that democratic forms of rule cannot be defended without a frontal assault on the ruling elite's wealth and its domination over the economy. | | Israel's war on the Palestinians is provoking an eruption of outrage across the US, Europe, the Middle East, and internationally. The urgent need of the hour is the development of a united mass movement of the international working class against the capitalist warmongers and for socialism. Contains a selection of articles from the World Socialist Web Site beginning on October 8, 2023. | | The betrayal of the PATCO air traffic controllers' strike in August 1981 reverberates in the working class today, as it signaled the collapse of the trade unions & their rapid conversion into agencies of corporations & the state. | | | | | The Drama of Dictatorship uncovers the role played by rival Communist parties in the conflict that culminated in Ferdinand Marcos's declaration of martial law in 1972.
Using the voluminous radical literature of the period, Joseph Scalice reveals how two parties, the PKP and the CPP, torn apart by the Sino-Soviet dispute, subordinated the explosive mass struggles of the time behind rival elite conspirators. The PKP backed Marcos and the CPP, his bourgeois opponents. The absence of an independent mass movement in defense of democracy made dictatorship possible.
