There is a new Democratic presidential candidate, but the same right-wing program of war and austerity. An organization and its class character must be judged, not by what it says of itself, but on the basis of its history and program.

Intensifying diplomatic manoeuvring involving strategically placed Pacific states portends vast preparations for looming wars and police-state repression across the region. The Albanese Labor government has rapidly expanded the number of refugees detained on the remote tiny Pacific island of Nauru, under appalling and punitive conditions. The 91 percent rejection is not only in defiance of the management, but a sharp rebuke to the union bureaucrats who brought the deal to a vote. Unions covering more than 11,400 Walmart workers have shut down a strike after just six days while 28,000 US flight attendants at United will vote next month on approval to strike. Germany's federal and state governments drastically increased the number of deportations last year compared to 2022.
