  Germany's far right on the march: crisis and resistance to the AfD

  Oct 1, 202623 min

  The fascist Alternative for Germany (AfD) has won a state election, marking the first such victory for the far right since 1945. It followed that up with a significant vote in another state election. Anni Fender explains why the AfD has broken through, what kind of threat it poses and how anti-Nazis in Germany can build a powerful movement against its rise. With One Nation growing, it's a crisis with lessons for Australia. Anni is a member of Socialism from Below (SVU), a German sister group of Solidarity. Read more about Germany.

  Doc Evatt, Labor and the partition of Palestine

  Sep 24, 202644 min

  Why did the ALP Minister for External Affairs in the 1940s, Doc Evatt, play such a central role in the United Nations vote to partition Palestine? Researcher Jeff Rickertt explains that while Evatt supported Zionism, that was only part of the story. His actions were driven primarily by what was best for Australian capitalism and its imperialist interests in the South Pacific. It's an analysis that can help guide the Palestine solidarity movement today. Read Jeff's paper: When First Nations Don’t Count: H.V. Evatt and the Erasure of Palestinian Rights .

  Sep 17, 202623 min

  The AI boom is a capitalist frenzy but there's a growing likelihood that the bubble will burst, hitting the world economy, argues David Glanz. Meanwhile, giant data centres are being built across our suburbs and beyond. They are an environmental disaster in the making, using huge amounts of electricity and water and driving a boom in gas-fired power stations. Read more about AI. Find out more about Solidarity.
