For emergency action to stop the Trump-Musk purge of federal workers! / German Federal Election 2025: historic debacle for government parties, gains for the far-right AfD and Left Party

It's been five long years since the decisive defeat of Corbynism at the ballot box. How, if at all, should the left reconstitute itself? Should everyone join the Greens? Or do we just need Mick Lynch to start a new party? In this episode, Richard Hames is joined by Rachel Godfrey Wood, Joe Todd, and […]

Americans and particularly white American men are frightened. They have lost family wages and their wives as well. White women have lost the lifetime financial support of their domestic labor and child care. Americans have no Left Party to explain their lesser lives. Why not?

System Change Aotearoa have kindly provided us the audio from their 20 August 2024 public meeting about a radical left party in NZ. Enjoy!Do we need a new party of the radical left? This is a crucial question facing anticapitalists in Aotearoa today.We live in an era of extreme inequality. The threat of climate breakdown looms over everything. Yet governments around the world sit idly by as the rich get richer and the climate crisis worsens.On the left, we see a clear explanation for this: the capitalist system is designed to always prioritise corporate profits over people and planet. Yet right-wing populism is on the rise, scapegoating minorities for society's problems. Aotearoa now has the most right-wing government in decades, pursuing an agenda of austerity whilst attacking Te Tiriti.We must organise to fight back. But do we need a new party to do this?System Change Aotearoa is excited to host Sue Bradford to speak on this vital topic. Sue is a lifelong activist who has been fighting for working people for decades. She will be drawing on her experience as a former Green Party MP and candidate for Mana, as she shares her thoughts on why a new party is necessary.Sue published a paper on this subject in 2017. She argued that the role of such a party is not merely to stand in elections. We are talking about a party which seeks to organise the resistance to capitalism across society, in workplaces and in the streets, and in Parliament only when it is strategic to do so.Elliot Crossan will be speaking on behalf of System Change. He will be speaking on the rebirth of the radical left across the world in the last decade, and why the time for a new party is right.Website: systemchange.nz FB: facebook.com/systemchangenz Insta: instagram.com/systemchangeaotearoa Twitter: twitter.com/systemchangenz

Sweden's Covid mitigation strategy has stuck out to the world, but what is seldom mentioned is those that it left behind - the elderly and people with disabilities. Eric Hammarstrand has been housebound pretty much since the start of the pandemic and he feels angry and let down by Swedish society - including a Left Party that has been just as negligent of the needs of disabled people as those on the right.

Germany's center-left Social Democrats were locked in a very close race Sunday with outgoing German Chancellor Angela Merkel's center-right bloc, which is heading toward its worst-ever result in the country's parliamentary election, projections showed.Top officials from both parties said they hope to lead Germany's next government and have their candidates succeed Merkel, who has been in power since 2005.Projections for ARD public television, based on exit polls and early counting, put voters' support at 24.9% for the Social Democrats — which is putting forth outgoing Vice Chancellor Olaf Scholz for chancellor — and 24.7% for Merkel's Union bloc under would-be successor state governor Armin Laschet.Separate projections for ZDF public television put the Social Democrats ahead by 25.6% to 24.4%. Both put the environmentalist Greens in third place with about 15% support.Those results would be the worst for the Union bloc in post-World War II Germany.The electoral system typically produces coalition governments but post-war Germany has never previously seen a winning party take less than the 31% of the vote that the Union won in 1949. That was also the center-right bloc's worst result until now.Given the exit poll predictions, putting together the next coalition government for Europe's biggest economy could be a lengthy and complicated process. Merkel will remain as a caretaker leader until a new government is in place. In German elections, the party that finishes first is best-placed, but not guaranteed, to provide the next chancellor.The projections also put support for the business-friendly Free Democrats at about 11% and the Left Party at 5%. The far-right Alternative for Germany party — which no other party wants to work with — was seen winning around 11% of the vote.Surrounded by Merkel and his party's top brass, Laschet said “we can't be satisfied with the result” predicted by the exit polls. The Union took 32.9% of the vote four years ago. He said “the result puts Germany, the Union, all democratic parties, before big challenges.”“We will do everything we can to form a government under the Union's leadership, because Germany now needs a coalition for the future that modernizes our country,” he promised.Laschet's likeliest route to power is a coalition with the Greens and the Free Democrats.The Social Democrats, meanwhile, celebrated a comeback after polling only 20.5% in 2017 and slipping well below that in recent years. Their general secretary, Lars Klingbeil, said "with this, we have the mission to form a coalition.” He wouldn't say which coalition partners would be approached.Scholz of the Social Democrats could also form a coalition with the Greens and Free Democrats, if the projected results hold up. The Greens traditionally lean toward Scholz's party and the Free Democrats toward Laschet's.Scholz proclaimed the projected result a “great success.” He said many voters chose his party “because they want a change of goverment and because they want this country's next chancellor to be Olaf Scholz.”“Now we will wait for the final election result, but then we will get to work,” he told cheering supporters in Berlin.The Social Democrats have been boosted by Scholz's relative popularity after their long poll slump, and by his rivals' troubled campaigns. The Greens' first candidate for chancellor, Annalena Baerbock, suffered from early gaffes and Laschet, the governor of North Rhine-Westphalia state, struggled to motivate his party's traditional base.The Greens saw their support substantially increase, but had hoped for more."We gained considerably, but it's hard for me to really enjoy it,” said Greens general secretary, Michael Kellner. He noted that his party has said it prefers to work with the Social Democrats, but added “we are ready to speak with all democratic parties to see what's possible."Another possible governing combination would be a repeat of the outgoing “grand coalition" of Germany's...

What is wrong with Sweden? the Advocate asks the Filmmaker. The country is in political turmoil - in a fight about market rents that brought the government down this week.  The final straw that caused Sweden's Left Party to call for vote of confidence, was Prime Minister Lofven's decision to sell-out tenants and support a proposal to abolish rent control on newly built properties. Leilani and Fredrik discuss the state of Sweden's housing market and how the country got here. Affordable housing options have been disappearing across the country in the last year. How have different philosophies on the role of the market impacted housing all over the world and in Sweden? And how does this square with what's required by human rights law? What necessary to keep the monster of financialization at bay?But it's not all politics and strife. PUSH - The film has won a Prix Italia Award!  This prestigious TV award has been around since 1948, presented by the Italian public broadcasting company RAI. The prize raises the profile of PUSH around the world. Best of all: Fredrik was able to travel to Milan to accept the award in person - wining, dining and dancing - while Leilani remains stuck in her basement bunker in Ottawa! Produced by WG Film Recorded & Edited by Mikey JonesMusic by Florencia Di ConcilioSocial Media & Support - Maja MobergSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/pushbacktalks)

Sweden's Prime Minister Stefan Lofven has become the first leader in the country's history to lose a no-confidence vote in parliament. His ousting follows a dispute over a rent control policy which saw the Left Party withdraw its support for the government and team up with right-wing parties. As Sarah Morice reports, the co-operation between the parties with polar political ideals has been labelled an unholy alliance. #Sweden #StefanLofven #NoConfidenceVote

Feminist Iniative co-leader Gudrun Schyman talks about her plans to leave the party's leadership, and we take a look at how Swedes celebrate the holiday of Alla helgons dag. Gudrun Schyman, the founder and leader of the political party Feminist Iniative, announced this week that she won't be standing for the position of leader at the party's next congress in February 2019. Schyman has been a fixture of the Swedish political scene for quite some time, also with a long career in the Left Party, which she led between 1993 and 2003.
