 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. Trump's choices to run social service departments, like education and health, are better fitted to destroying these agencies than administering them. The essential response of the major European powers to Trump's election has been to plan to step up their own military aggression against Russia and to consider what it will take to make this a European-led war. The resolutions, advanced by Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, were aimed at providing cover for the absolute support of American imperialism and the Democratic Party for the Gaza genocide. The rally in Berlin against the dictatorial forms of rule of the Zelensky regime is of great significance. It illustrates the rapidly growing opposition of the Ukrainian working class to the war against Russia. The end of the transit of Russian gas through Ukraine to Europe underlines the fact that the war is part of a metastasizing global conflict. One of the goals of the US—to weaken Russia as a major energy supplier to European markets through the complete decoupling of its infrastructure from Ukraine—poses dangers to Europe and threatens the eruption of open conflict within the trans-Atlantic alliance. The long-running discussions about the need to eliminate thousands of full-time jobs, end daily delivery, and sell off post offices underscore that striking postal workers are not merely fighting for a new contract. Rather, they are embroiled in a political fight, which if it is to succeed must be based on an explicit rejection of capitalist austerity and the profit "principle." This is the first major strike in the United States since the presidential election returned Trump to the White House earlier this month. The new administration will provoke massive social conflict on a scale never before seen in the United States. The TİP failed to base its split with the Stalinist Communist Party on a study and assimilation of the great strategic and world-historical issues raised by Leon Trotsky's struggle against Stalinism. This is a common feature of all the tendencies that emerged from the disintegration of the Stalinist parties after the collapse of the USSR. Whenever the trade union bureaucracy call a general strike in Greece, it is a sure sign that they fear an escalation of the class struggle which could spiral out of their control. The WSWS received the following letter from a reader in the Netherlands. The 2024 elections in Brazil were marked by a significant repudiation of the political establishment, evidenced by a record level of abstention. Protests against the ruling FRELIMO party continue as opposition candidate Venâncio Mondlane, who is linked to Trump and Portuguese fascist circles, appeals for support from imperialism. While the government's proposed policies are presented as a means to assist workers, the true agenda is the preparation for war and to slash jobs to boost corporate profits. A new United Nations report shows that the world is headed towards up to 3.1℃ of warming by the end of the century, with devastating consequences for billions of people worldwide. Teacher anger over paltry raises and the closure of Acero schools is reaching a boiling point.
