On the 70th Anniversary of the Montgomery Bus Boycott: The Life of Rosa Parks, 1913-2005

Dianne Feeley

Posted November 28, 2025

As the 70th anniversary of the Montgomery Bus Boycott approaches, the Trump administration is hard at work erasing the history of the immense struggle Black America has waged for freedom. Rosa Parks is a central figure in the 20th century movement for Black lives, both before and after she refused to give up her seat to a white passenger the evening of December 1, 1955….

Oppose Trump’s Surrender Plan for Ukraine

Ukraine Solidarity Network (US)

Posted November 23, 2025

IMPERIALIST BULLYING IS rarely so open and brazen. Donald Trump demanded last week that Ukraine accept his surrender plan for Ukraine by Thanksgiving Day, November 27, or lose what little remains of U.S. support for Ukraine, which is the sharing of satellite intelligence about Russian military positions and the sale of arms to Ukraine….

Trump’s War on the Poor

Kay Mann

Posted November 21, 2025

Among the targets of the Project 2025/Trump government assault on the most oppressed and vulnerable sectors of the US population, the attack on the poor — that is, workers with incomes under the federal poverty line — stands out in its breadth, depth, and outright cruelty. As part of its standoff with Democrats in Congress over the expiring Obamacare premium credits, the Trump government and its loyal lieutenants in the House of Representatives and Senate cancelled the SNAP food program…

Ecosocialism or Extinction: defending life, building free territories and Ecosocialism from and for the Peoples

Posted November 21, 2025

“We don’t sell our land because it is like our mother. Our territory is our body. And we don’t sell our body. We don’t sell our mother. We wouldn’t sell it, because it is sacred.

“And we start suffering pressures of invasion, pressure from mining, from agribusiness, which has expanded a lot, pressure from logging companies, which are deforesting our territories. And we have been resisting.” —Auricelia Arapiun, Coordinator of Indigenous Organizations of the Brazilian…

Posted November 17, 2025

Milei’s far-right party’s success in local elections is part of a broader reorganization of global capital.

THE MIDTERM ELECTION results in Argentina handed a political victory to Javier Milei’s far-right government of Javier Milei, despite recent economic and political problems.

Indeed, there were currency runs and financial turmoil amid a decline in consumer spending and recessionary trends in production, with a resurgence of price increases and significant limits on productive…

Chile on the Eve of the Elections

Oscar Mendoza

Posted November 12, 2025

Chile 2025 — is the post dictatorship consensus truly and wholly over?

Oscar Mendoza wonders whether — as all opinion polls predict — Chile will go the way of an extreme right-wing populist president or do the highly unlikely/unthinkable and choose a working-class communist woman instead.

GAZING AT MY crystal ball, given that I’m writing in the eve of the first round of the presidential elections in Chile scheduled for Sunday 16 November, I am confident in my prediction…

Barbarians at the Gates

Bill Balderston

Posted November 10, 2025

On the morning of Thursday, October 23rd, a caravan of federal Customs and Border Protection agents arrived in the Bay Area, being housed at the Coast Guard facilities in the East Bay community of Alameda, separated from Oakland by an estuary; (it is also the town in which I teach). Alameda is a very diverse community ethnically, with many immigrant families from East Asia, the Middle East (mainly Yemeni) and even west Africa, as well as Latin America. It is also the home base for Rob Bonta, the…

From Venezuela to Gaza to U.S.: Trump’s Wars Against the People

Solidarity National Committee

Posted November 4, 2025

THE SERIAL MURDERS committed by the Trump regime in blowing up small boats in the Caribbean and Pacific Ocean, on the untested and almost certainly false claim that these are “drug smuggling vessels,” are world-class crimes in their own right. At this writing the victims of these assaults number over 60, with no accountability and no end in sight.

It is an astonishing sign of our times that these atrocities receive so little outrage, blending into the background noise of the daily crimes against…

Pamphlets from Solidarity

Manifesto for an ecosocialist revolution outlines the why and how to break with capitalist growth. Adopted by the Fourth International, it moves from an analysis of capitalism to developing a program that – through self-organization – can break with commodification and productivism and halt the destruction of the planet on which we depend on for our survival.

Socialism, What It Is, Why We Need It outline capitalism‘s exploitation of both workers and the environment and sketches an alternative.

THE “SOCIALISM-FROM- BELOW” tradition views the working class as the central agent of overthrowing a system based on the market and the exploitation, alienation and unequal society it perpetuates.

Steve Downs’ writings, first in Hell on Wheels (2008) and in Socialist Strategies in Unions, a working paper (2022), outline how a variety of socialists active in the NYC transit system over two decades worked to build a rank-and-file caucus with a class struggle perspective.
Unable to resolve how to be accountable once members won office, their project ultimately failed. The pamphlet and working paper offer rich lessons for today’s socialists.

You can order copies of these pamphlets here.
