 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. The Moroccan earthquake catastrophe is not primarily a natural but a social disaster, caused by the inability of the capitalist system to deliver earthquake-resistant housing and emergency services to the working population. Statements from the UAW, Biden administration and Big Three auto corporations make clear that a massive sellout is being worked out behind the backs of 150,000 autoworkers in the US and 18,000 in Canada whose contracts expire over the next week. In the run-up to the contract deadlines for 170,000 autoworkers in the US and Canada, Trump is appealing directly to autoworkers, grotesquely posturing as their champion. Autoworkers from the US and Mexico expressed their determination to unite and ensure their needs are met in an online meeting hosted Sunday afternoon by the Autoworkers Rank-and-File Committee Network and the WSWS Autoworker Newsletter. The union bureaucracy is providing workers with as little information as possible in the hopes of tamping down militant demands for a significant increase in wages and benefits amid surging inflation across Canada, the elimination of multi-tier employment, and the preservation of jobs in the transition to the manufacture of EVs. Following what was widely seen as a humiliating failure to recruit developing countries for its war drive against Russia at the G20, the United States is preparing to further escalate its involvement in the Ukraine war. As Washington prepares for war against China, Biden signs a comprehensive security partnership with Vietnam to strengthen military ties and key strategic supplies of rare earths and semiconductors. Monday's ceremony marking 50 years since the overthrow of Salvador Allende was noteworthy for its boycott by the entire Chilean right, whose representatives issued statements justifying the coup. The "Socialism 2023" conference was dominated by the self-absorption and reactionary politics of the upper middle class milieu populating the DSA, the fraudulent "reformists" of the trade union bureaucracy and pro-imperialist state operatives. Jacobin magazine, which is affiliated with the Democratic Socialists of America, published two articles illustrating the debate within the upper-echelons of the DSA as to how best to continue to channel the growing movement of workers behind the pro-imperialist Democratic Party. The crisis of the Voice, a proposed indigenous advisory body to parliament, is directly connected to growing popular hostility to the cost of living crisis and the entire political establishment. The SEG and IYSSE are holding a meeting in Wellington on October 4 to explain the socialist perspective needed to unite the working class against the agenda of war and austerity shared by Labour, National and all the parliamentary parties. The report recommends that the Biden administration "remove barriers to privatization, concessions, and other nontraditional models of funding community water systems." "Maybe the university is influenced by the government and that's why it's not affiliating the IYSSE or allowing students to be a part of this organisation. But I really want to encourage everyone to be a part of it. I want Macquarie to end the censorship." The Employee Provident Fund holds the superannuation savings of hundreds of thousands of low-paid free trade zone workers, apparel factories employees and plantation workers. There is considerable evidence that the undetected presence of SARS-CoV-2 causes many of the health problems, some severe, described in the term "Long COVID." Educators from across Argentina staged National Day of Educators' Struggle to highlight their issues including pay while more than 1,000 Hormel meatpackers rallied on Labor Day as their contract deadline neared. Any honest viewer is likely to extend the condemnation to the profit system as a whole, which is entirely willing to sacrifice untold numbers of lives in exchange for cash flow. The campaign against the climate activist group is part of building up a police state to criminalise and intimidate peaceful protests, civil disobedience and other forms of resistance. Low pay and lack of support for the disabled are the major driving factors of this ongoing social disaster. Half of all people in poverty are disabled themselves or live with someone who is disabled. Nearly two-thirds are in a household where someone works, and over a fifth where all adults work full time.
