 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. The holiday season has begun in the United States, along with the season of class struggle. Thousands of Amazon and Starbucks workers are on strike, with many more seeking to join. Absorbing Canada and Greenland, as Trump has suggested this month, would make the US the world's largest country, bigger than Russia. The half-hour interview was broadcast Monday on WBAI-FM in New York City, and is being broadcast this week on a total of 150 radio stations nationwide. The Teamsters bureaucrats will not organize a wider struggle because they are not interested in taking the fight to Amazon on behalf of workers everywhere, but in establishing the same corrupt relations with Amazon management it enjoys elsewhere. After a month-long strike by 55,000 workers, CUPW and the Canadian Labour Congress capitulated without a fight to Labour Minister Steven MacKinnon's order to ban the job action, without any of the workers' demands for real wage increases, job security, and workers' control over the use of new technologies being met. Fidan's visit is part of Ankara's efforts to increase its influence over the future of Syria and the HTS leadership, and to eliminate the Washington-backed Kurdish forces. It is necessary to focus this opposition on the working class and to arm it with an international socialist perspective, independent of the imperialist powers of NATO as well as the capitalist regimes in Ukraine and Russia. Every day, 99 workers die in America's industrial slaughterhouse. The Irish government, faced with popular protests, felt obliged to go somewhat further than its peers in offering criticisms of the starvation and massacre of the Palestinians. The rally offered valuable information on the role played by the Danish shipping conglomerate Maersk in the genocide in Gaza, but proposed no policies to mobilize dockworkers against capitalism and war. China is the central target, but tariff hikes will go across the board. The naming of Chinese businessman Yang Tengbo as a "spy" working on behalf Beijing by anti-China hawks in Britain's ruling elite has exacerbated the crisis facing the Labour government's geopolitical strategy. Entering the sixth year of the pandemic, Australian governments continue to maintain a "let it rip" policy, amid rising infection numbers. Amid growing protests and political dissatisfaction across southern Africa, the NPA is intervening to promote right-wing bourgeois parties and thus block a broader, united offensive in the working class for socialism. The sentencing of the former head of state on charges of corrupting the judiciary exposes the degeneracy of the French Fifth Republic and the bankruptcy of the capitalist regime. The rearming of the Peruvian state is part of a global shift towards dictatorial measures amid the drive to war and attacks on democratic rights. Andrew Bird's Gezelligheid concerts in Chicago showcased his virtuosic musicianship and thoughtful songwriting, set in a beautifully intimate atmosphere. The premature end of the widely despised ruling 'traffic light coalition' of the Social Democratic Party (SPD), Greens and neo-liberal Free Democratic Party (FDP) and the decision for an early election is not aimed at giving the electorate a say, but rather at ensuring that an even more reactionary government comes to power. While President Yoon is impeached and suspended from office after his failed attempt to impose martial law, his removal by the Constitutional Court is by no means certain. Without giving any reasons, Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus authorised the removal to the US of Daniel Duggan, an Australian citizen, to confront concocted charges of training Chinese military pilots. Student and faculty groups at New York University called a rally last week to demand that NYU lift the "persona non grata" status it imposed on dozens of pro-Palestinian students and faculty for protesting at Bobst Library one week earlier.
