LV Magazine November

Two days before the U.S. elections, we are proud to present the Left Voice Magazine. Over the last five years, we have published five issues of a printed magazine. Today we are introducing a digital format. On the first Sunday of every month, we will publish a new issue with a handful of in-depth articles.

As the capitalist crisis intensifies, we want to offer profound reflections about the problems of socialism. As Lenin said, “Without revolutionary theory there can be no revolutionary movement.”

We are publishing this first digital issue in a moment of multiple crises: the mass uprisings against police brutality are not over, but the Democratic Party is channeling the movement into the supposedly “democratic” institutions of U.S. capitalism. We are arguing for the political independence of the working class, and examining different strategies in the fight for socialism, with a particular emphasis on the legacy of Leon Trotsky.

This new online magazine is a similar format to the magazines published by our sister sites, including Ideas de Izquierda (Argentina), Ideias de Esquerda (Brazil), Ideas Socialistas (Chile), Ideas de Izquierda MX (Mexico), Ideas de Izquierda VE (Venezuela), RP Dimanche (France).

We are making the contents of this magazine freely available all at once. Yet we still need support to build up a revolutionary socialist publication. If you enjoy this magazine, please consider donating $5, $10, or whatever you can. You can make a contribution via Paypal or Patreon.

Ideas & Debates

Left Voice Magazine for April 2024 — Labor Notes Edition!

In this issue, we delve into the state and future of the labor movement today. We take a look at the prospects for Palestinian liberation through the lens of Leon Trotsky’s theory of Permanent Revolution, and discuss the way that Amazon has created new conditions of exploitation and how workers across the world are fighting back.

The Movement for Palestine Needs Independent, Working-Class Politics

As the brutal genocide of Palestinians continues with the help of the Biden administration, there is maneuver underway to co-opt the movement for Palestine. We need to have a democratic and independent movement that relies on the power of the working class, the student movement, and mobilizations in the streets.

The Convulsive Interregnum of the International Situation

The capitalist world is in a "permacrisis" — a prolonged period of instability which may lead to catastrophic events. The ongoing struggles for hegemony could lead to open military conflicts.

Faculty, Staff, and Students Must Unite Against Repression of the Palestine Movement

As Gaza solidarity encampments spread across the United States, faculty and staff are mobilizing in solidarity with their students against repression. We must build on that example and build a strong campaign for our right to protest.

Against the Criminalization of Opinion and in Defense of Our Right to Support Palestine: We Must Stand Up!

In France, the repression of Palestine supporters is escalating. A conference by La France Insoumise (LFI) has been banned; a union leader has been arrested and charged for speaking out for Palestine; court cases have increased against those who “condone terrorism”; and the state has stepped up its “anti-terrorism” efforts. In the face of all this, we must stand together.

Dispatches from Labor Notes 2024: Solidarity with Columbia Students Against Repression

The Labor Notes Conference this year takes place right after over 100 students were arrested at Columbia for protesting for Palestine. We must use this conference to build a strong campaign against the repression which will impact us all if it is allowed to stand.
