 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. We are publishing here the opening report to the Eighth Congress of the Socialist Equality Party (US), given by David North, the national chairman of the SEP. The congress was held from August 4 to August 9, 2024. Single-issue protest cannot stop the rise of the far right. This requires the political and industrial mobilisation of the working class, the overwhelming majority of the population, for socialism. Sky News reported Thursday that the British Challenger 2 main battle tank has been deployed inside Russia as part of the NATO-Ukrainian offensive against Russia's Kursk region. The attack, which caused billions in damage and drove energy prices to dizzying heights, did not come from an external source, from Russia, but from within Ukraine and NATO itself. Workers placed blame for the cuts squarely on the UAW bureaucracy, which is helping the company to carry out the cuts. Calley spent only three days in prison for his role in directing the mass murder of 504 Vietnamese men, women and children. He is now reported to have died April 28 at the age of 80. This year alone, there have been 17,451 cases of mpox and 517 deaths, a case fatality rate of 2.95 percent. Schools in Tennessee and Alabama were quickly shuttered this week, shortly after the beginning of the 2024-25 school year, due to COVID spread among students and staff. The tradition must be recovered of the struggle of miners serving as a powerful spearhead in the fight for social equality and the ending of centuries of colonialist looting. However justified the hatred of Shafik among students and faculty may be, this celebration is misplaced, and illusions that it represents a "victory" for the anti-genocide protesters are dangerous. The finding that more than 250,000 people were subjected to physical and sexual abuse in schools, boot camps, foster care and youth justice facilities is an indictment of successive governments and of the capitalist system itself. The decision to change 11/4 exposes the managerial dictatorship in the railroad industry. There are effectively no "contracts" as such because workers are legally barred from engaging in strikes and other forms of "self-help" to enforce them. Management want to destroy a further 30,000 jobs and are supported by the unions. Workers in administrative departments will be the first to be hit. The promising and sensitive Argentine film The Delinquents depicts the stresses of daily life in an engaging way and suggests that a criminal enterprise may be the way out, only to find another exit in utopian romanticism. Three-day strike at easyJet Portugal over staffing levels and working hours undermined by minimum service requirements and union only calling out Portuguese-based crews; Iranian nurses' strike over pay and conditions continues and intensifies after death of nurse from overwork; state forces kill 21 workers demonstrating high cost of living and government policies in Nigeria ASLEF leader Whelan's claim to have averted a "land grab" on working conditions is bogus. The plan is that these will be negotiated away once the dispute is over as part of the Great British Railways agenda of the Labour government.
