    The resistible rise of the far right in Europe

    Originally published: International Viewpoint on May 19, 2024 by NPA Antifascist Commission (more by International Viewpoint)  | (Posted May 29, 2024)

    In France, the far right is likely to be the leading political force in the European elections of 9 June 2024, and probably the second (or third) force in the European Union. A relatively large number of far right parties are now on the winning side in national elections, and are even taking part in national governments.

    IPCC WG3 report: from scientific rigor to social fable

    Originally published: International Viewpoint on April 4, 2022 by Daniel Tanuro (more by International Viewpoint)  | (Posted Apr 20, 2022)

    The report starts by taking stock of the state of mitigation. In fact, it is more a question of a failure to mitigate. Global emissions of all greenhouse gases combined have increased by 11% compared to 2010. Their volume (59 GTCO2eq in 2018) is larger than ever in human history. Between 2010 and 2018, the rate of increase slowed down somewhat: 1.3% per year, compared to 2.3% during the previous decade.

    Impacts of warming faster and more severe than expected says IPCC

    Originally published: International Viewpoint on March 3, 2022 by Daniel Tanuro (more by International Viewpoint)  | (Posted Mar 08, 2022)

    Ecosystems everywhere are altered by climate change. For some of them, the limits of adaptation are exceeded (especially in polar and equatorial regions) – they will not be able to regenerate naturally.

    How to overthrow a life-threatening capitalism?

    Originally published: International Viewpoint on January 20, 2022 by Stéfanie Prezioso - Le Club de Mediapart (more by International Viewpoint)  | (Posted Jan 24, 2022)

    Capitalism jeopardizes the survival of humanity on earth. It reduces the price of the labour of reproducing labour power when it cannot make women do it for free within the family. How can we overcome it while putting the defence of life at the centre of our concerns?

    Inegalitarian growth or just degrowth: the IPCC has opened the debate

    Originally published: International Viewpoint on December 27, 2021 by Daniel Tanuro (more by International Viewpoint)  | (Posted Dec 28, 2021)

    Twenty-five years ago, “degrowth” was conceived by its proponents as a “buzzword” carrying a vague ideological charge: Serge Latouche and his supporters said they wanted to “change the way people think” in order to “get out of the economy and development”… Today, degrowth is once again being debated, but on the basis of more rigorous premises.

    The Paris Commune of 1871

    Originally published: International Viewpoint on March 18, 2021 (more by International Viewpoint)  |

    There is a wall at the Père Lachaise cemetery in Paris, known as “Le Mur des Fédérés”. It was there that the last fighters of the Paris Commune were shot in May 1871, by Versailles troops.

    “Too late to be pessimist! Ecosocialism or collapse”

    Originally published: International Viewpoint on January 1, 2021 by Daniel Tanuro, Mats Lucia Bayer (more by International Viewpoint)  | (Posted Jan 07, 2021)

    From the analysis of the struggle between the great powers for a lesser dependence on fossil fuels (which can shape their rivalries or push towards convergence between them), to the reminder of the need for every subject of oppression to develop its own ecological reflection. Daniel Tanuro gives us illuminating and pedagogical tools to confront the present social struggles and those that are to come.

    Democratic movement attacks the established order in Thailand

    Originally published: International Viewpoint on November 6, 2020 by Pierre Roussett (more by International Viewpoint)  | (Posted Nov 13, 2020)

    Led by young people and benefiting from broad support, the Thai democratic movement continues to mature. It is challenging the military-monarchist oligarchy, confronting the royal couple and harking back to the militant struggles of the past.

    Ernest Mandel and ecosocialism

    Originally published: International Viewpoint on July 20, 2020 (more by International Viewpoint)  |

    It is therefore from 1971-72, after the emergence of the first ecological movements and following his reading of the pioneering works of Elmar Altvater, Harry Rothman and Barry Commoner, that he began to integrate the ecological dimension into his thinking.

    An ultra-parasitical global financial system that enjoys unwavering protection

    Originally published: International Viewpoint on July 24, 2020 by François Chesnais (more by International Viewpoint)  | (Posted Jul 29, 2020)

    During the evolution of the pandemic in Europe, the financial system has received little attention in the media. It was only at the end of February/beginning of March that a very sharp fall in the stock markets made the front page of newspapers and television broadcasts.

    How women shake up the political world

    Originally published: International Viewpoint on February 7, 2020 by Sabine Lamour (more by International Viewpoint)  | (Posted Feb 10, 2020)

    The originality of the Haitian feminist movement lies in the fact that it can be thought of neither in terms of a wave (first, second or third) nor in terms of a defined current (liberal, black, decolonial, etc.).

    Thinking and acting from Marxism today – Feminist proposals for a theoretical and strategic rearmament

    Originally published: International Viewpoint on November 30, 2019 by Julia Camara & Laia Facet (more by International Viewpoint)  | (Posted Dec 06, 2019)

    The global disorder and the experiences of the systemic crisis we have experienced for more than a decade (economic crisis, crisis of political legitimacy, crisis of social reproduction and crisis of the limits of the planet) have generated a need to understand that cannot be covered by partial analyses but requires a theory of totality.

    The far right: a global phenomenon

    Originally published: International Viewpoint on January 10, 2019 (more by International Viewpoint)  |

    In recent years, the reactionary, authoritarian and/or fascist extreme right wing has been in the ascendant all over the world: it already governs half of the world’s countries. Among the best-known examples are: Trump (United States), Modi (India), Orbán (Hungary), Erdoğan (Turkey), Daesh (Islamic State), Salvini (Italy), Duterte (Philippines), and now Bolsonaro (Brazil).

    On the contribution of István Mészáros (1930-2017) to critical thinking

    Originally published: International Viewpoint on January 16, 2018 by Jan Malewski (more by International Viewpoint)  | (Posted Jan 16, 2018)

    István Mészáros, an outstanding Hungarian Marxist philosopher, died on October 1st 2017 in London. Born in Budapest in 1930 into a working-class family, brought up by his mother, he began working in industry at the age of twelve. He actually lied about his age, claiming to be sixteen, in order to be accepted by the factory.

    The Marxism of C.L.R. James

    Originally published: International Viewpoint on October 8, 2017 (more by International Viewpoint)  |

    Cyril Lionel Robert James (1901-1989) has begun to enjoy a revival among U.S. and European intellectuals which promises to spread his influence more widely in the present and future than was the case at any time during his life. He is best known for his magnificent history of the Haitian revolution, entitled Black Jacobins (first published in 1938 and reprinted often since then), but a growing number of people are becoming increasingly familiar with many other facets of his work.
