 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. President Biden and Vice President Harris have pledged full cooperation with the incoming fascist president-elect, while issuing no warning to the American people of the dangers of mass repression and rule by force. Like the Democrats in the US, which with their arrogance towards the falling living standards of the working masses, their support for the wars in Ukraine and Gaza, and their anti-refugee deportation policy paved the way for the fascist Trump to return to the White House, the SPD also strengthens the most right-wing elements with its policies. More than 50 visitors attended the lecture by Peter Schwarz, who spoke about the current relevance of Leon Trotsky's perspective. The UAW bureaucracy is collaborating with Stellantis to eliminate a shift at the giant plant in northwestern Ohio. The giant auto producer like all its major competitors has seized on the transition to EV production to cut jobs and labour costs at the expense of its global workforce, including slashing thousands of jobs in the US and Italy. When did Sanders reach this epiphany? Since running for president in 2016, the "democratic socialist" from Vermont has used left phraseology to cover for the Democrats' right-wing agenda while at the same time rallying his supporters behind the viciously anti-worker presidential campaigns of Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. The National Party-led coalition government has hailed Trump's victory and called for closer military cooperation with the US in the Indo-Pacific region, where US-led preparations for war against China are already far advanced. The writers' statement accuses the Zionist state of "apartheid," "ethnic cleansing" and "genocide." Powell pointedly sidestepped a question about how his picture of a "strong" economy contrasted so markedly with the lived experience of millions of workers and their families struggling with a significant reduction in their living standards. A recent report from the Education Data Intiative exposes the fact that the world's richest imperialist country has underfunded schools for decades. It indicts the US for failing to meet global benchmarks for education and, despite economic growth, allocating proportionally less for schools. This research reinforces the scientific consensus that the only viable strategy to limit catastrophic climate change requires drastic and immediate emissions cuts. With the lockout of dock foremen on Canada's Pacific Coast entering its fifth day and the partial strike of longshoremen in Montreal now in its ninth day, big business interests, political officials and their mouthpieces in the country's mainstream press are clamouring once again for government intervention. "I can't sleep thinking about what would happen if I lost my job because I didn't meet the standards a few times and my average wasn't high enough." Strike by German air force engineers joined by one-day stoppage by 10,000 Mercedes engineers demanding 7 percent pay rise; nurses across Iran strike against collapsing living conditions, retirees continue protests while government imprisons three workers for protesting; pay strike at Mr Sweet in South Africa ends after union accepts offer workers rejected About the WSWS The World Socialist Web Site is published by the International Committee of the Fourth International, the world Trotskyist movement, and its affiliated sections in the Socialist Equality Parties around the world.
