LV Magazine December
or: Previous Issues

As the United States transitions from one administration to another, we present the second issue of our online magazine, which appears on the first Sunday of every month. This issue is dedicated to the national and international situation as the Trump era comes to a close. We are also publishing two articles on the history of the socialist movement that offer important lessons for today. This issue closes with the prologue to the new English edition of Andrea D’Atri’s Bread and Roses: Gender and Class Under Capitalism (London: Pluto Press, 2020).

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 support our GoFundMe campaign to Help Left Voice Get Louder. Please consider donating $5, $10, or whatever you can. You can make a contribution via Paypal or Patreon.

Understanding the Global Context of the Ukrainian Conflict: A Response to Our Critics

The 2022 invasion of Ukraine and the massive rearmament of Europe that followed mark a new stage in a growing conflict that has become a proxy war between the imperialist states of the US and NATO on one side, and an emerging alliance between Russia and China on the other. While some on the Left see this new pole of Russia and China as a check against US imperialism, neither country is anti-imperialist, and neither has anything progressive to offer working people.

Pro-NATO Positions Split a Trotskyist Tendency

The war in Ukraine has led to intense debates on the international socialist Left. In November, the Socialist Labor Party (SEP) of Turkey announced it was breaking with the Socialist Workers Movement (MST) of Argentina, in a serious blow to their common project, the International Socialist League (ISL-LIS). What can we learn from this split?

Joe Biden Is Deporting Russians Who Escaped Putin’s Draft — Let Them All In!

The United States is deporting Russians who sought asylum following the Russian invasion of Ukraine. This is a heinous attack against war resisters and shows that the proxy war in Ukraine is about capitalist rivalry first and foremost.
