Socialist Appeal bulletin - 13th November 2020



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

The capitalists are jubilant at news of Biden's victory and the potential development of a COVID cure. But for workers, a return to 'normality' means a future of austerity, inequality, and exploitation. We have to fight to make the bosses pay for this crisis.

In Britain, Johnson's government is mired in chaos. But instead of fighting the Tories, Keir Starmer is attacking the left. The suspension of Jeremy Corbyn is a declaration of war. Yet faced with this ruthless opponent, the left leaders are vacillating and calling for 'unity'.

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

‍‍The latest issue of the paper (no. 337) is out now, with articles on: reformism vs revolution; Labour's civil war; the Uyghurs, China, and imperialist hypocrisy; and much much more.

Europe’s COVID-19 second wave: criminal capitalist negligence



Jorge Martin

A second wave of COVID-19 is ravaging Europe. This was not inevitable, but a deadly consequence of governments prioritising the wealth of the capitalists over the health of the population. Make the bosses pay to protect lives and livelihoods!



Brexit deadline looms: Fresh fruit for rotting Tory vegetables



Ben Curry

Negotiations between Britain and the EU are going down to the wire. With Boris Johnson in thrall to Tory Brexiteers, the UK could well crash out of Europe without a deal, creating a perfect storm for British capitalism.



Biden win: No victory for the working class



Fred Weston

Biden has won - to the delight of the establishment, and the relief of ordinary Americans fed up with Trump. But US society remains polarised. And Biden represents the same bankrupt politics that led to Trump’s rise in the first place.



Review: ‘This Land’ – A cynic’s story of defeatism



Sarah Vedrovitch

Owen Jones’ latest book chronicles the Corbyn years, offering an insider’s view on the problems faced by the Labour left. But the author fails to draw the key lesson from these events: that we need bold and militant leadership.
