The Globalization of the Class Struggle and the Utopia of a Revolutionary Party in One Country

In earlier articles we looked at the relationship between revolt and revolution from a number of different angles.

What if a Trotskyist Were Part of the Presidential Debate?

The Democratic Debate on Tuesday was boring. But the presidential debate last Sunday in Argentina was something completely different, thanks to Trotskyist presidential candidate Nicolás del Caño.

The Jew Who Built An Anti-Nazi Resistance In Hitler’s Army

Martin Monath (1913-1944) was a German Jewish Trotskyist, a member of the Fourth International, and the editor of German-language socialist paper Arbeiter und Soldat (Worker and Soldier), who in 1943 began organizing resistance cells within the Nazi army. A new work by Nathaniel Flakin, Martin Monath: A Jewish Resistance Fighter Among Nazi Soldiers, out this month from Pluto Press, uses archival materials to piece together his fascinating story.

Ten Years After Its Founding, the Time Has Come for the NPA to Launch a Revolutionary Party

The leadership of the New Anticapitalist Party (NPA) in France met on September 28–29.

Trotsky, Latin America, and U.S. Imperialism

A Combined Struggle: Fighting Imperialism in Mexico and in the U.S.

On the anniversary of Trotsky’s death, we reexamine his writings from the final period of his life, which he spent in exile in Mexico. His observations about socialist strategy in semi-colonial countries and his conceptualization of the role that workers in imperialist countries play in the fight against imperialism have special relevance to socialists fighting against U.S. imperialism today.
