Youssef Bouchi writes on the importance of American socialism from his perspective as an Arab immigrant in Canada:

"Grassroots movements in the U.S. already understand this [...] Our task from the outside is to support them."

Pierre-Yves Cadalen calls for a new form of politics given the climate crisis:

“Ecopower, then, can be rewritten as the form of power from which humankind will decide if our time will be indefinitely transitory, or if it will abruptly end.”

John Duncan argues that "We should follow Césaire and not Mollet. We should recognize the particulars of racial, gendered, disabled, LBGTQIA+—yes, the whole gamut of woke oppressions—and avoid mystifying abstraction. It is precisely the moment in which those “woke” particulars are under attack that we should grasp more tightly to solidaristic political action founded on that recognition that what divides us materially can unite us politically. A project in which universalism is not an imposition to fall in line with, but a goal to struggle towards. Rather than celebrate the death of woke, I say we revive and herald it."

John Duncan calls the Left to ‘recognise the divisions hidden by shallow liberal universalist attacks on “woke” and instead build a truly universal movement defined by solidarity.’

By writing The Peoples’ Era in 2014—a revolutionary theory for a “citizens’ revolution”—Mélenchon performed a Marxist analysis of contemporary capitalism and its crisis. He redefined the notion of “the people”, those for whom revolution is now necessary. He shed light on the objective necessity to break with the capitalist order. This break, this politics of rupture, is perfectly communist. And this is the heart beating in all the work of the France Unbowed: to unite the people around a program of rupture.

The search for unmarked graves of Indigenous children in Canadian Residential Schools led to disturbing discoveries about the Church and State-enforced disappearances of children. This text recounts the ongoing alliance between Indigenous and non-Indigenous survivors of childhood institutionalization in Quebec to protect forensic evidence of atrocities committed against them between World War II and the 1960’s.

For Said, humanism was a worldliness, a recognition (born from and shared with one of his great heroes, Giambattista Vico) that history, as something human beings made, was something they could understand and which they ought to claim responsibility for if they want it to be something else.
