The right-wing legacy of Jimmy Carter
 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. The media eulogies of the former president, who died Sunday, are silent on his initiation of a frontal assault on the working class and, above all, his effort to smash the 1977-78 coal miners' strike by invoking the Taft-Hartley Law. These figures reveal widespread social distress and economic insecurity in America's supposedly booming economy. Credit card write-offs by lenders rose by 50 percent in the first nine months of the year compared to 2023. What Woods, et al, now dare to dismiss as the defence by a "sect" of an "orthodoxy" disproved by events, as they themselves oriented to the counter-revolutionary bureaucracies, represented the essential struggle for the perspective of world socialist revolution and the international party required for its realisation. Amid war, austerity and the promotion of far-right forces, a major radicalisation of workers and youth is underway. Films and television series have spoken very weakly so far to these complex, convulsive processes. Netanyahu's political trajectory is not so much the product of his personal motivations, but the inevitable outcome of the Zionist project that established the state of Israel 75 years ago, through the forcible expulsion and brutal suppression of the Palestinians. In this interview, Dr. Chakravarty discusses the current state of the COVID-19 pandemic and public health globally five years after the initial outbreak of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in Wuhan, China. The Socialist Laborers Party in Turkey has launched a petition against the frame-up "terror" charges targeting its leader and many members. The World Socialist Web Site and the Sosyalist Eşitlik Grubu, notwithstanding their political differences with the SLP, oppose this sham police operation and support the petition. The 2004 tsunami was not simply a natural disaster but a graphic exposure of the failure of the capitalist system, the ruling classes and their governments to take the necessary steps to protect populations and assist the victims to recover and rebuild their lives. Aviation experts have raised numerous questions about the cause of the tragic Jeju Air accident, but at this stage many details are still unknown. The closures, which will destroy tens of thousands of jobs, take place amid broader closures of US retailers. The agreement at Volkswagen is unprecedented. More than one in four jobs, a total of 35,000, will be destroyed, which corresponds to three large plants. Wages will be cut by up to 18 percent in real terms. In recent months, a campaign for the reduction of the workweek has gone viral on social media and received significant attention from Brazil's corporate media. While seeking to lock China out of the Pacific, the Australian-led operation establishes a rapid deployment force for police-military interventions against unrest in the region. Newly unionized workers at Costco are demanding significant improvements while 15,000 Ontario educators will soon be in a legal position to strike. The researchers compiled a list of 2,131 deaths in custody since the year 2000. While the average life expectancy in Canada is 81, the average age at death in the list is 44—meaning that being in custody can reduce an individual's life expectancy by almost half. The Rail, Tram and Bus Union (RTBU) bureaucracy vowed that disruptive action would not be resumed until at least January 3, guaranteeing the Labor government a trouble-free New Year's Eve. The industrial action would have seen thousands of aviation and health care workers down tools for several days, shutting airports during one of the busiest times of the year for international travel and significantly impacting 50 public hospitals across Kenya.
