Bulletin from Socialist Appeal (with links to articles)

Welcome to the latest Socialist Appeal weekly bulletin, with the highlights of this week's news and analysis from www.socialist.net.

Boris Johnson's Tory government is presiding over an unprecented health crisis: unable to control the virus as they recklessly reopen the economy; risking workers' lives for the sake of the bosses' profits.

On top of this, a tsunami of job cuts and austerity lies ahead for the working class. As the economic life support is removed, a deep depression looms. We are facing an unparalled crisis of the capitalist system.

Instead of providing a real opposition, Keir Starmer is siding with the Tories, condemning Black Lives Matter activists, and paying off right-wing saboteurs.


This is why we need to build a strong Marxist organisation - in the labour movement and on the streets. We therefore urge all our readers to join us today in the fight for socialism.

‍The latest issue of the paper (no. 333) is out now, with articles on: The Beirut explosion and revolution in Lebanon; 80 years since the assassination of Leon Trotsky; first issue of "PCS Marxists" published; and much much more.

USA: The Portland protests and Trump’s “Gestapo”
