LV Magazine February
or: Previous Issues

A new administration has taken over the White House, but the economic, social, political and health crises continue. The new issue of our magazine, which appears on the first Sunday of every month, attempts to analyze the current situation in the United States. In a piece translated from our sister magazine RP Dimanche, we debate with Andreas Malm and his concept of “Ecological Leninism.” We also debate with different left currents in Iran and India, looking at the history of both countries and applying the theory-program of permanent revolution. Finally, in our first stab at “aspirational fiction,” a teacher from West Virginia in 2031 looks back at the socialist revolution in the United States.

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.

In this broad-ranging interview, originally published in LINKS, Trotskyist Fraction member Esteban Mercatante discusses how recent global shifts in processes of capital accumulation have contributed to China’s rise, the new (and old) mechanisms big powers use to plunder the Global South, and its implications for anti-imperialist and working-class struggles today.

Joe Biden Is Afraid of the UAW Strike. That’s a Good Thing.

A few days ago, Biden called on the bosses of the Big Three automakers to give concessions to the striking UAW workers. It’s because he’s scared of the UAW’s power.

The Housing Crisis and Migrant Crisis Are Crises of Capitalism

As thousands of people come to the U.S. seeking shelter, politicians around the country are claiming that housing in the U.S. is already in crisis and that there is no room for them. Both the “migrant crisis” and “housing crisis” are crises created and exacerbated by capitalism.

To Win, the UAW Strike Must Be Organized from Below

The strike at the Big Three has put the working class at the center of national politics. The autoworkers’ demands are bold and touch on issues of growing exploitation across the country. To win big, the strike must be organized from below.
