La ratification du règlement gouvernemental sur les salaires 2026 confirme une fois de plus l'orientation de la politique de l'État qui favorise les intérêts des employeurs au détriment de la vie des travailleurs et travailleuses. Loin d'être un instrument de protection, ce règlement renforce au contraire la politique des bas salaires qui pèse depuis longtemps sur les travailleurs et travailleuses, en particulier les ouvrières. Femmes libres considère que le règlement sur les salaires (…)

The ratification of the 2026 Government Regulation on Wages once again confirms the direction of state policy that favours the interests of employers over the lives of workers. Rather than serving as an instrument of protection, this regulation instead strengthens the low wage politics that have long burdened workers, particularly women workers. Free Women considers that the 2026 Wage Regulation was not born from the lived reality of workers, but rather from the logic of economic (…)

From beginning to end, 2025 was a year of devastation for scientists in the United States. January saw the abrupt suspension of key operations across the National Institutes of Health, not only disrupting clinical trials and other in-progress studies but stalling grant reviews and other activities necessary to conduct research. Around the same time, the Trump administration issued executive orders declaring there are only two sexes and ending DEI programs. The Trump administration also (…)

Are Americans about to be led again into a war based on misrepresentations and lies? It's happened before, most recently with the wars in Iraq and Vietnam. President Donald Trump and his administration have presented the country's growing military operations against Venezuela as a war against drug trafficking and terrorism. Trump has designated the government of Venezuela President Nicolas Maduro as a foreign terrorist organization, the first country to ever receive that designation. The (…)

À l'occasion du 13e anniversaire de la disparition forcée de la figure de proue que fut Sombath Somphone pour la société civile laotienne, nous, organisations de la société civile et individus du monde entier soussignés, exhortons une nouvelle fois les États membres des Nations unies (ONU) et les partenaires du Laos en matière de développement et de coopération internationale à demander au gouvernement laotien de faire rapidement la lumière sur cette disparition forcée et de faire en sorte (…)

Venezuela and its people are the first direct victims of the “Trump Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine.” This war, which has already been declared, is not against drug trafficking or the Maduro regime, but rather for oil and rare earth minerals, military bases, information, and misgovernment. All democratic, progressive, popular, and leftist forces must denounce and confront the US offensive against Venezuela, which in no way means defending the Maduro government. “America First” is the (…)

On Thursday, December 18, 2025, the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) was repealed and replaced with the Viksit Bharat Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (Gramin) — the VB-G RAM G Bill, 2025. The Modi government, through deliberate and calculated dissimulation, tabled the bill for discussion in Parliament without any prior consultation, allocated inadequate time for debate and finally passed the bill through a voice vote despite widespread dissent from (…)

In August 2025, the Vice Chairman of the United Wa State Army (UWSA) delivered an extraordinary public statement. Zhao Guoan declared that his organisation—the most powerful ethnic armed group in Southeast Asia, commanding an estimated 30,000 troops equipped with tanks, helicopters, and surface-to-air missiles—faced “the worst survival crisis in 40 years.” The source of this existential pressure was not the Myanmar military. It was China. Under what Zhao termed “unprecedented” coercion, (…)

This is the text (with sources added) of a December 4 presentation kicking off the third installment of Solidarity's online study group dealing with “Problems of Socialist Organization.” Russia's revolution of 1917 resulted from the blend of terrible catastrophes and profound hopes. The First World War was going very badly for the Tsar's army and for the Russian people, adding new grievances to old, and generating a new wave of working-class radicalization. The tsarist system of (…)
