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.

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.

“Poor Things” Floats Like a Butterfly and Stings Like a Butterfly

Poor Things is a fantastical comedy with beautiful set design and costumes and an Oscar-winning performance from Emma Stone. So why did it leave me feeling so empty? Despite juggling feminist and socialist ideas, the film is ideologically muddled and often self-contradictory.

U.S. Imperialism is Pushing Tensions in the Middle East to a Boiling Point

U.S. Imperialism's support for Israel is driving the tensions behind Iran's attack and the escalations in the Middle East. It is all the more urgent for the working class to unite with the movement for Palestine against imperialism and chart a way out of the crisis in the region.
