August 25, 2025 | by Barry Weisleder Yves for NDP Leader As the Zionist genocidal onslaught continues, the carnage has provoked an increase in prejudice that is expressed through forms of bigotry such as antisemitism and Islamophobia. The Yves Engler campaign condemns such prejudice, without reservation. Racism has no place in our movement. The continued conflation of anti-Zionism with antisemitism weakens the struggle against all forms of prejudice.

The Syrian Revolution: Epitome of the Permanent Revolution

By Daniel Campos- La Marx International The fall of Bashar al-Assad’s regime on December 8, 2024, is one of the most important events in the recent history of the class struggle. If anything characterizes the permanent nature of 21st-century revolutions, it is the importance of democratic tasks in the struggle of the people, as a fundamental driving force and lever for the development of political and social processes. In this sense, the Syrian revolution acts as an epitome—that is, a summary, an extract, or a condensation—of these revolutions and of…

Stop South African Coal Exports to Genocidal, Apartheid Israel!

The case for the South African government to respect Boycott Divestment Sanctions and ‘Hague Group’ mandates against Glencore/ARM exports and all other fuel supplies to Israel South African coal exports to Israel since the genocide of Palestinians have reached 1.5 million tonnes by mid-2025.
