🚨Out now! In this #OpenAccess article in @LARRLASA, I provide an overview of the social and political phenomena that gave rise to libertarianism and led to the victory of Javier #Milei in #Argentina. It's based on a review of 10 recent books on the topic cambridge.org/core/journals/…

Something extraordinary is happening in Argentina: the fans of two futbol (soccer) teams came out in support of retirees, against vicious cuts by the Milei government. Retirees and fans were repressed by the police, now dozens of other club fans will come out next week

We expect @SesameWorkshop to uphold our shared values of fairness, transparency, and respect by recognizing our union and collectively bargaining over our working conditions and the terms of yesterday's layoffs.

UPDATE 🚨: As LAPD were about to make arrests, all of the police officers just … left. I’ve never seen anything like this. Hundreds of police with zip ties, and all of them have just left. No arrests, protestors shout in victory as police leave the area.

Despite the rightward shift, there are several counter-tendencies that could undermine capitalist hegemony. These should be taken into account when assessing the terrain of class struggle. @WorkerTF leftvoice.org/class-struggle…

Mark my words: Trump's shock and awe strategy will backfire

Doctors in NYC are ready to strike! Check out this awesome interview w/one of them. Update: Yesterday, their union, Doctors Council (DC-SEIU) announced a TA, but most rank-and-file doctors I talked to think it's a terrible deal. Stay tuned for more leftvoice.org/the-rubicon-wa…

There’s a growing rift between the Venezuelan govt and Petro—one of the few Latin American president sending a representative to Maduro’s inauguration—around the new wave of detentions of left/center-left organizers. Maduro is increasingly isolated.

Breaking: Residents & fellows at Temple hospital vote to unionize by a crushing 425 to 11. This is one of 5 hospitals whose residents recently filed for a union. Here’s an interview w/one of the physician organizers in this unprecedented drive @cirseiu leftvoice.org/philadelphias-…

Residents and fellows in Philly have had enough of ridiculously long work-schedules, inappropriate tasks, and meager wages. They want a union and they’re ready to fight for their rights! Here’s an interview we did with one of them leftvoice.org/philadelphias-… @cirseiu

After 1 year of bargaining with Providence execs and NO meaningful progress, today we announced we are striking on January 10th. At my hospital this includes the IM, Med-Peds, Palliative care, & OB hospitalists, and the Prov-employed OBGYNs, midwives, and ALL the nurses. /1

Not that China today is anything close to a communist country Let’s be clear on that

I remember when NYC subways were covered with Shen Yun ads. They said “China before communism” showing a colorful, magnificent dance performance. Turns out Shen Yun relied on massive unpaid labor, justified on religious grounds, to amass $266 M in 10 years. It’s a great metaphor
