 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. Without a new axis of political struggle being taken up by the working class, the Israeli regime will continue with its policy of genocide, ethnic cleansing and apartheid, whether under Netanyahu, Gallant or someone else. In their tightly controlled appearances, Kamala Harris, Tim Walz and Joe Biden avoided any talk of the wars overseas while falsely presenting the interests of the working class and nationalist union bureaucracies as one and the same. Workers have had to take a stand against Ferguson and the union bureaucrats, who have given up all of the gains of the past. SGP members appealed to the Opel workers to support the struggle of US auto workers who have begun to fight back against job cuts and poverty wages. This socialist perspective fell on receptive ears. There is absolutely nothing legitimate about UAW Local 3212's claims that their deal was "ratified" by 92 percent Saturday. We are publishing here the report to the Eighth Congress of the Socialist Equality Party (US), given by Jerry White. The congress was held from August 4 to August 9, 2024. Hospitality workers walked out on strike for three days at 25 hotels in cities across the US to demand increased wages and an end to understaffing. Spain's union bureaucracies and their pseudo-left allies joined the capitalist state and business federations to deepen attacks on the public pension system, public services and working conditions. Erik Larson's new book The Demon of Unrest, published this year by Penguin Random House, contains critical lessons for the fight against Trump and the threat of dictatorship today. Boric's pseudo-left government in Chile and Milei's fascistic government in Argentina are participating in military exercises this week that are part of the war preparations by US imperialism and NATO. A range of economists and commentators have been downgrading their forecasts for growth. Health NZ has issued a letter to its administrative workforce calling for "voluntary redundancies" as the government seeks to slash $1.4 billion from healthcare. Faculty at Oakland University and Western Michigan University are poised to begin strikes, with educators demanding pay increases large enough to offset soaring inflation. Pheu Thai is attempting to manage its tenuous alliance with pro-military and monarchist parties, though there is no guarantee against further political upheavals. Last week retired workers marched in Lima, Peru demanding increases in their pensions while hotel workers in Quebec City and Montreal staged the fifth in a series of protest strikes.
