War in Ukraine Enters Dangerous New Phase

Nov 5, 2024 | socialistalternative.org | Tom Crean

The war in Ukraine has not received as much attention in the capitalist media in the West as it did previously. In one sense, this is understandable given developments in the Middle East. This includes the horrific genocidal war unleashed by the Israeli state in Gaza and the escalating conflict in the region, with Israeli forces conducting a full-scale invasion and bombing campaign in Lebanon aiming to deal a devastating blow to Iran’s ally Hezbollah.

End the imperialist meat-grinder! For international working-class struggle against war and imperialismThe fall of the town of Avdiivka to Russian troops, who are making gains following the failure of Ukraine’s counter-offensive, quite neatly coincided with the second anniversary of this epoch-defining conflict. To fully appreciate its historic significance, it is worth looking back at the world and its reaction, as the war loomed this time two years ago.
End Israeli State Terror: For A Socialist Middle East!

Mar 15, 2024 | socialistalternative.org | Tom Crean

As we go to print, the situation in the Middle East is on a knife’s edge. The vicious assault by the Israeli military against the people of the Gaza Strip, using the pretext of the horrific October 7 attack by Hamas, has become a genocidal war. Over half the population of Gaza has now been forced into a tiny corner of the territory in the town of Rafah next to the Egyptian border, with the Israeli military threatening to launch a full scale offensive on the town.

A World in Crisis: Why We Need Revolutionary Change

Feb 9, 2024 | socialistalternative.ca | Bill Hopwood |Tom Crean |Luis Barrios |Mauro Espínola

As we enter a new year, it is evident that on many fronts the situation facing the human race is dire. Of course, there are commentators who insist the opposite (we’ll refer to them again later). But most people know the trendlines are bad. All you had to do was go outside in many cities in the northern US states last June and try to breathe air that had turned orange and hazy because of wildfires in Canada.

The Threat Of Recession Looms Again

Oct 7, 2023 | socialistalternative.org | Tom Crean |Grace Fors

A year ago, many economists predicted that the US was headed for recession.
