 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. Once again emulating the propaganda tactics of Hitler and Goebbels, the Trump administration is portraying Kirk as a political martyr, an American version of the German Nazi Horst Wessel. The mounting unemployment portends an eruption of class struggle under conditions where Trump is escalating his drive toward dictatorship. Larry Ellison, the founder and chief executive officer of software company Oracle, saw his wealth rise by $100 billion in a single day Wednesday, in the largest one-day wealth increase of any person in recorded history. This document is the ninth and last chapter of "The Crisis of the Revolution and the Tasks of the Proletariat", a major programmatic document produced by leading Soviet Trotskyists imprisoned in the Verkhne-Uralsk Political Isolator in the summer of 1932. The three-week strike is the longest since a two-and-a-half week-long walkout in 1974. The Israeli government is intensifying its murderous campaign in Gaza following the failed attempt to assassinate Hamas negotiators in Doha, Qatar on Tuesday. Starmer's readiness to meet Israel's head of state confirms that he fully supports Netanyahu's genocide of the Palestinians despite his making the token gesture of criticising Israel's latest offensive and threatening to recognise a Palestinian state. Workers must take matters into their own hands and build rank-and-file committees independent of the union bureaucracy to fight back against the austerity attacks of corporations and political institutions. The reshuffle is intended to convince the ruling class that Labour will carry out a historic reduction of social spending and the return of the military budget to levels not seen since the Cold War. The federal Labor government's appointment of administrator Mark Irving was always aimed at facilitating deeper attacks on wages and conditions in the building industry and more broadly. The court judgement refuted claims of a vast cover-up in the Brittany Higgins saga, the central line that was used to push the case into the spotlight for the best part of five years. The Dissanayake government has only been able to go ahead with its cost-cutting attack on the CEB's 22,000-strong workforce because the union leadership fully endorses it. Norway's governing Labour Party (AP) emerged as the largest party in Monday's general election, taking 28.0 percent of the vote and 53 seats in the 169-seat parliament (Storting). Although the bloc of "left" parties secured a total of 88 seats—a majority needed to re-elect AP's Jonas Gahr Støre as Prime Minister—the biggest gain in the vote was achieved by the far-right Progress Party (FRP), which doubled its support to around 24 percent. Germany's biggest trade union, IG Metall, has signed off the loss of 11,000 jobs and wage cuts of around 8 percent at Thyssenkrupp Steel with its agreement to a "social collective agreement". Aluminium workers at Arak Aluminium Company in Iran continue stoppage of almost two months over pay and safety; transport workers at the AB InBev brewery in Jupille, Belgium walk out over safety conditions; doctors in Nigeria's Federal Capital Territory resume strike over pay and staff shortages About the WSWS The World Socialist Web Site is published by the International Committee of the Fourth International, the world Trotskyist movement, and its affiliated sections in the Socialist Equality Parties around the world.
