 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. There is no other government in modern history that has issued so explicit a threat to destroy the foundational life-support systems of an entire civilian population as a condition of political submission. This tragedy underscores the increasing corporate and official disregard for workers' safety and lives, not just in South Korea but internationally, especially in the auto industry. The armed thugs, who murdered two protesters in Minneapolis earlier this year, will now be backing up TSA agents, who have not been paid since February. Far from advancing the struggle against war, the SWP's opportunist perspective misled youth and workers who opposed the Vietnam War and blocked the development of socialist consciousness. "The same economic pressures that lead to dangerous line speeds, inadequate safety protections, and a lack of proper PPE and equipment in the past are mirrored in our own workplaces through chronic understaffing and cuts to essential services." Newroz, the traditional spring festival of the peoples of the Middle East and Central Asia—particularly the Kurds and Persians—is being celebrated this year amid an eruption of imperialist barbarism directed against Iran and the broader region. Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez warned that the US-led war against Iran was distracting from NATO's war against Russia. The presentation of 'Where Is America Going? Fascism or Socialism', featuring David North at the Leipzig Book Fair, met with strong interest and underscored the growing interest in a socialist perspective against fascism and war. Cuba has suffered a second nationwide blackout in less than a week, underscoring the catastrophic impact of the US fuel embargo. Labor was returned to office but its vote fell in key working-class areas in an election characterised by the disintegration of the Liberals and the rise of One Nation. This week, Tasmanian and Victorian teachers will carry out full-day strikes over pay cuts and dire conditions, but the Australian Education Union bureaucracy is keeping their struggles entirely separate. "The Mauritanian" Mohamedou Ould Slahi has become the public face of the prosecution against the US prison camp Guantánamo, where he was imprisoned and severely tortured for 14 years. But despite being released 10 years ago, and his innocence proven beyond doubt, he is not allowed to travel to Duisburg. The German authorities continue to treat him as a "terrorist." A federal judge has stayed the Trump administration's revised childhood immunization schedule and frozen 13 ACIP appointments, delivering a temporary check on Kennedy's anti-vaccine agenda. The Frontline Socialist Party is not calling for an international anti-war movement based on the working class, but an international coalition of opportunist groups dressed up as "Global People's Power." Once again, the Albanese Labor government is effectively defying a High Court ruling to stop illegally punishing former immigration detainees who have been shackled in ankle bracelet monitors and subject to curfews. School fire kills 67 in Kenya; Argentine military overthrows Isabel Perón; MacArthur ultimatum to China in Korean War; Fascist killers of Matteotti given light sentence. More than a dozen workers assembled on the picket line holding placards demanding "No more long shifts," drawing support from passing workers including drivers of other bus companies.
