The Paris Commune of 1871, banks and debt
by Eric Toussaint
On the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the extraordinary experience of the Paris Commune, it is fundamental to draw a number of lessons from it. The measures a government takes regarding its Central Bank, the debts of working class people, public

What Trump's Doing Is Crazy and Dangerous—and It Ain't Over Yet
Trump still threatens us, and discussing the election in the past tense is stupid.

Ever since November 7, when the election was more or less authoritatively “called” by all major media, a wide range of pundits have spoken

Cette contribution a été écrite pour la Sozialistische Zeitung (SOZ), mensuel publié en Allemagne. Il s’adresse donc à un lectorat étranger, qui n’est pas censé connaître grand chose de la situation française. Elle constitue aussi, de ma part, une intrusion dans le débat sur les récentes élections et la campagne menée par Jean-Luc Mélenchon au nom de la France insoumise – un débat qui touche à des questions assez fondamentales autour, en particulier, du « populisme » et que cette intrusion invite à poursuivre.
The Municipal Network Against Illegitimate Debt and Fiscal Cuts is expanding to the level of the autonomous regions [the Spanish State consists of 12 autonomous communities, among which Andalusia, Catalonia, the Basque country, the Madrid community…] stated Carmen Lizárraga, a Podemos member of the Parliament of Andalusia, at the opening press conference of the second meeting of the Network, which brought together in Cadiz, on 2, 3 and 4 June 2017, over 150 participants representing 77 municipalities from all over Spain. Members of the Parliaments of the autonomous Communities of Andalusia, Navarre, the Baleares, Estremadura and Galicia had a separate meeting that resulted in the decision to meet more frequently and in a more structured way after the summer recess.

A brewing conflict among the rulers of the Persian Gulf region reached a crisis stage in early June when Saudi Arabia led other countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) in cutting ties with Qatar. Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt and Bahrain have halted all land, air and sea traffic with Qatar, ended diplomatic ties and ordered to Qatari citizens to leave. With 40 percent of Qatar’s food supply coming over the border from Saudi Arabia, there are fears of shortages of food and water.
Le Maroc vit actuellement une vague de protestation sociale très large initiée par le mouvement de contestation populaire dans le Rif au nord du Maroc. L’État a répondu par une campagne de calomnie et la répression. Il a arrêté des dizaines d’activistes de ce mouvement et poursuit d’autres. Les sit-in de solidarité dans plusieurs villes sont dispersés par les forces de police. Mais ce climat de terreur renforce plutôt la détermination des citoyens et des citoyennes à combattre, exiger la libération des détenus et la satisfaction des revendications sociales. Des comités de solidarités se constituent un peu partout au Maroc.
A toutes les victimes du despotisme, de l’oppression, à toutes celles et ceux qui voient leur dignité bafouée et qui aspirent à un Maroc démocratique.

The Korean crisis has gone from chronic to acute since the election of Donald Trump to the presidency of the United States. Against a backdrop of general instability, it is being played out on three levels: the world relationship of forces between powers; the strong tensions at work throughout East Asia; the breakdown or the maintenance of the status quo between the two Koreas. To this, let us add the situation in the USA, where Trump is tempted to compensate for his failures in domestic politics by creating a climate of national mobilization against an external threat - whether it be Russian, Chinese or North Korean.
Le mot d'ordre proposé par certains camarades, "Pas un seul vote pour Marine Le Pen", n'est pas suffisant. On peut "ne pas voter" MLP en votant blanc ou en s'abstenant, en allant à la pêche, etc. On ne vote pas pour elle, mais on ne fait rien pour l'empêcher d'être élue... Si on veut vraiment la battre, il faut mettre un bulletin avec le nom de son rival.
