Last Friday was incredible. A political general strike against the genocide in Gaza shut down Italy. It is an enormous source of inspiration and possibility, with the conditions which arose to such a strike not being unique to Italy. We must draw the necessary lessons.
In this episode, we cover the Gen Z revolution from Madagascar to Morocco, student & worker mobilizations across Europe, the intensifying West Bank occupation, and how unions in Britain can help strengthen the movement to halt genocide.
At 6PM last night, Israel intercepted the Global Sumud Flotilla. Spontaneous protests erupted across Italy with a general strike planned tomorrow. A national student strike has been called in Spain today. We say block everything! Shut it down for Palestine!
Last week, US President Donald Trump arrived at the UN for what was meant to be a 15-minute speech. Instead, he delivered a fiery hour-long rant, not against Russia or China, but Europe, harshly criticising America’s allies with unrelenting anger.
This Monday, a general strike against the genocide in Gaza shook Italy. In France, more than a million demonstrated last week. In Nepal, the government was overthrown. The masses arose in Indonesia. It is September 2025 and we are witnessing a revolutionary wave!
From Nepal, Sri Lanka, Kenya to Bangladesh, a revolutionary wave has blown across countries dominated by imperialism. Ben Curry analyses the meaning of this wave and the generalised lessons to be taken by revolutionaries.
In France, the government has fallen. More than half a million demonstrators came out on 18 September. The left political forces now have a responsibility to campaign for a lasting ‘blockade’ of the country whose end goal must be to transform the economy on socialist lines.
Last week, King Charles threw a grand party to please President Donald J. Trump. For all the pageantry and pomp, this was a rather pointless affair, with little of substance gained for the ruling class. The event could best be summarised as a circus with no bread.
Hundreds of thousands took part in France’s bloquons tout movement last week, dominated by the youth. This was a thunderclap: let the next mobilisation tomorrow, 18 September, be the beginning of a social storm!
The killing of American right-wing activist Charlie Kirk has sent shockwaves through the political landscape. We stand against everything Kirk stood for. We do not mourn his death. But we must state clearly that this act will have reactionary consequences.
After putting up with years of crushing poverty, the Nepalese youth have had enough. They have entered the stage of history, seeking to burn the system down altogether. But without leadership, what happens next remains unclear.
Tomorrow, thousands will descend on central London to protest the genocide in Gaza and repression of Palestine activists. As Netanyahu continues the genocide, famine, and fails to bring back the hostages, the fabric of Israel itself is tearing apart.
