Happy Birthday to C.L.R. James, a pioneer of the Black Marxist tradition! Born in the Caribbean island of Trinidad, James would go on to author one of the most important texts on the history of the Haitian Revolution, “Black Jacobins,” and apply his Marxist approach to analyze his favorite sport, Cricket.
His critical Marxism often put him in conflict with other parts of the left. Still, his intellectual contributions to the Pan-African movement and the socialist tradition as a whole remain undisputed.

Balancing Western appeal with the reality on the ground, Syria's new rulers present stark contradictions. While they advocate for a moderate Syria inclusive of all citizens, their past and present actions tell a different story. From a decade marked by brutality to the recent suppression of opposition, the future of Syria remains uncertain.

🟡 Syria Update — Day 41:
🟡 The US Treasury Department has issued a temporary six-month license, which eases the restrictions imposed on Syria through US sanctions. The new license will allow investors and humanitarian organizations to conduct financial transactions with the de facto authorities in Damascus.
🟡 Iraqi authorities have vowed to reopen the country’s main border crossing with Syria next week for travelers and goods. The Al-Qaim crossing, which is located in the Anbar province, was closed in December following the overthrow of the Assad government.
🟡 Türkiye’s president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has vowed to intervene militarily in Syria should the country end up divided. The comments by Erdoğan were made in relation to the violence between Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS)-led groups and the US-backed, Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in Syria’s northeast, which Türkiye perceives as a threat to its ambitions in the region.
🟡 The de-facto authorities in Syria’s capital, Damascus, have concluded what they called a five-day “security operation” in the city of Homs. More than 650 people have been arrested in total, and numerous weapons depots reportedly intercepted.
🟡 The first commercial flight to Syria landed today at the Damascus International Airport for the first time since the overthrow of the Assad government on December 8. The plane belonged to the Royal Jordanian Airlines and departed from Qatar on what was described as a “test flight” to Syria.

Did you know that Nelson Mandela’s housing minister was actually a white South African communist and legendary anti-apartheid activist? Meet Joe Slovo, born on this day in 1926.
A long-time comrade of Nelson Mandela, Slovo dedicated his life to the struggle against apartheid and racism while fighting for a socialist revolution that would end racial and class inequality in South Africa. Just like Mandela, Slovo was also an advocate of Palestinian resistance against Israeli occupation.
In 1961, he helped found Umkhonto we Sizwe, the armed wing of the African National Congress (ANC), which would lead the resistance against apartheid. Due to political persecution from the South African apartheid government, Slovo was forced into exile in the UK, Angola, Mozambique, and Zambia. He returned to South Africa in 1990, and following the 1994 elections, he was appointed minister of housing in Nelson Mandela’s post-Apartheid government.

Thousands rallied near the residence of impeached Republic of Korea (ROK) President Yoon Suk Yeol. Just hours before the detention warrant tied to Yoon’s brief martial law declaration was set to expire, the ROK’s Corruption Investigation Office for High-Ranking Officials (CIO) urged police to take over efforts to detain him.
Security officials installed barbed wire within the residence’s compound and erected barricades as protests—both opposing and supporting Yoon—continued outside.
The request follows the CIO’s failed attempt to arrest Yoon last week after a five-hour standoff with the presidential security service at his residence. Police are reviewing the request internally and noted that the CIO may seek a new court warrant to extend the detention deadline.

Have you noticed the raging wildfires, searing heatwaves, and the devastating flash-floods? Capitalism is literally burning the planet. Watch on to see how.
Flash floods from China to Brazil engulf entire cities. Wildfires devour entire forests in several parts of the world. Record heatwaves prove fatal in many regions. The climate crisis could lead to 14.5 million deaths and $12.5 trillion in economic losses worldwide by 2050, warns the WEF.
The richest 1% account for the same emissions as the poorest 66% of humanity (5 billion people) in recent years, according to a recent OxFam report. “Oxfam undertook an analysis of 125 billionaires and found that, on average, they emitted 3m tonnes of CO2e a year through their investments—over a million times more than the average for someone in the bottom 90% of humanity.”

Honduran President Xiomara Castro threatens to shut down US military bases in the Central American country. If US President-elect Donald Trump proceeds with mass deportations of Hondurans, the Cold War-era bases, operating rent-free for decades, may no longer have a reason to remain, Castro stated.
