The sentence, “The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggle,” echoes repeatedly in his head. The printworker soon finds himself alongside the rank-and-file at his workplace, going on strike — defying both boss and union bureaucracy.

Events evolve at a dizzying pace as the thoughts of the two German revolutionaries are melded in this fascinating fictional story.

Based on the Communist Manifesto, this miniseries was written and recorded by the PTS (Socialist Workers Party) of Argentina in the year 2013.

“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.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson Has No Place at Labor Notes

The Labor Notes Conference will have record attendance this year, but it’s showing its limits by opening with a speech from Chicago’s pro-cop Democratic mayor, Brandon Johnson. Instead of facilitating the Democratic Party’s co-optation of our movement, Labor Notes should be a space for workers and socialists to gather and fight for a class-independent alternative.

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.
