Who’s afraid of Richard Hooker to lead the Teamsters?

by Joe Allen

With a few weeks to go before the start of the Teamsters’ union convention in Las Vegas, a major push is on to deny Richard Hooker the five per cent of delegates needed for him and his Fearless slate to be nominated. While there is still much skullduggery afoot to trash the reputation of Richard Hooker, the first African-American candidate for General President of the Teamsters, most of it is now quite open and increasingly nasty, as he challenges Sean O’Brien, the pro-Trump leader of the union.

What happened to the International Socialists (U.S.)?

by Joe Allen and Paul D'Amato

By the late 1970s, the rank-and-file rebellion was over, and the “party-building” projects of many groups had collapsed and disintegrated, in many cases with great regrets, anger, and bitterness among people who only a few years earlier had been committed comrades. There are many lessons for today for from this era, both good and bad, but to mine the past requires honesty, sometimes brutal honesty to assess what happened and why, and what were the political consequences.

Trump: Cuba in the crosshairs

by Lance Selfa

We oppose any U.S. invasion. We call for an end to the current U.S. blockade of oil deliveries. And we call for an end to the U.S. embargo that dates from the early 1960s. Moreover, if Cubans want to emigrate to the U.S., we welcome them along with all other immigrants who are targets of Trump’s xenophobia.

The Supreme Court’s gutting of the 1965 Voting Rights Act

by Lance Selfa

For all the liberal tribute paid to the sacrifices of civil rights activists in the 1960s, liberal and Democratic Party leaders have seemed strangely subdued in their reaction to the Supreme Court’s tearing the heart out of the VRA. The solution Democrats offer is to more aggressively gerrymander “blue” states to maintain Democratic parity with the Republicans. Even Black politicians who may find themselves out of office after Republican gerrymanders eliminate their seats have not issued calls for mass opposition to this rights rollback.

All roads lead to stagflation

by Michael Roberts

In the short term, global inflation is going to rise.  If the conflict lasts longer, then rising inflation will be joined by falling economic growth and the likelihood that even some of the major economies could slip into a slump.  Stagflation is certain and slumpflation is possible.
