“The forces of official politics—all of which embody different wings of capitalist politics—are giving Trump a free run. What then can stop him? The US working class must move.” My latest for Red Flag. redflag.org.au/article/work...

Background to the Woolies warehouse strike here. "Like most workers, employees at Woolworths warehouses watched their real wages decline while their bosses profited. But rather than shrug and accept falling living standards, they’re doing something about it." redflag.org.au/article/wool...
