Workers' unions in Argentina are mobilizing again for the first time in weeks and taking to the streets. Teachers went on strike at a national level yesterday to demand a pay rise in line with inflation, and journalists at the national broadcaster TELAM protested as President Milei announced the closure of the entire outlet, resulting in over 750 job losses.
The two mobilizations marked the beginning of several sectoral struggles, which unions say is the start of a move towards a general strike against Milei's 'shock therapy' austerity plans in the coming weeks. The metalworkers' union has proposed a set of rolling general strikes, starting with a one-day stoppage, escalating to a 3-day strike across all unions.
Argentina's economy is sliding further into unprecedented levels of crisis as annual inflation hit 254%, the highest anywhere in the world.
Milei's policy of removing all price and exchange rate controls and cutting subsidies has led to massive devaluation and price hikes.

Happy birthday to the pioneer of Germany’s revolutionary struggle, Rosa Luxemburg! On her 153rd birthday, and as part of Women’s History Month, we celebrate Luxemburg’s revolutionary socialist legacy, which, more than a century later, remains as important as ever.
During World War I, Luxemburg became one of the most vocal opponents of the war. She argued it was the result of a conflict between capitalist powers who were willing to sacrifice the lives of millions of working-class people to achieve global dominance. She believed that the communist revolution was the only solution to stop the endless cycle of wars motivated by imperialist interests.
Once more, global powers engage in conflicts for dominance, highlighted by the ongoing war in Ukraine. Meanwhile, Europe witnesses a troubling rise in fascism. Learning from the past, we recall Luxemburg as one of history’s most important anti-war and anti-fascist revolutionaries.

Today marks the 59th anniversary of one of the most extensive bombing campaigns in world history: the US' Operation Rolling Thunder in Vietnam. Throughout three and a half years, this operation involved the dropping of over a million tonnes of munitions and resulted in the deaths of at least 182,000 Vietnamese civilians.
The primary objective of the operation was to sever support to the communist People's Army of North Vietnam from guerillas in the south. Civilians suspected of involvement in "military or quasi-military" activities were targeted as part of this campaign.
Throughout the entirety of the US war on Vietnam, up to three million Vietnamese people lost their lives, and over 7.5 million tons of bombs were dropped by US planes. Despite the unparalleled brutality of Washington's war tactics, Vietnam's communist resistance successfully overcame the might of the US military.

"None of them survived. The Zionist occupation has deprived me of them." Listen to this heartbreaking testimony of a 12-year-old girl in Gaza who lost her entire family in an Israeli airstrike. This reality resonates with many children in Gaza, where injured youngsters often grapple not only with physical wounds but also with the catastrophic loss of their whole families.
Gaza has become one of the most deadly places in the world for children. According to UNICEF, at least 17,000 children are now unaccompanied or have lost their immediate relatives since the onset of the war on October 7th.
Even before Israel's attacks began, approximately 500,000 children in Gaza were already in dire need of mental health and psychosocial support. Today, the UN estimates that this number has doubled, with more than one million children in Gaza requiring urgent assistance and psychological support.

Millions of Yemenis took the streets for another monumental protest in solidarity with Gaza, possibly the largest ever seen. Under the banner, “You are not alone... We stand with Gaza,” Yemenis flooded the streets. Palestinian and Yemeni flags, as well as flags representing resistance movements, waved high, accompanied by banners denouncing Israel, the US, the UAE, and Jordan. Chants of “Our crowds are continuous, and our morals are high... Gaza is precious to us” echoed throughout the city.
Since October 7 and the start of Israel’s war on the Gaza Strip, Yemenis have consistently marched in massive numbers every week. Despite the ongoing US-led bombing and aggression against Yemen, the Yemeni people have remained steadfast in their support for Gaza. Meanwhile, the international community and Arab countries have refrained from taking decisive action to end Israel’s extermination war on the enclave.

Violent clashes erupted in Greece's Thessaloniki on the first anniversary of the deadliest train crash in the country's history, resulting in the deaths of 57. Greece's protesters and unions have blamed years of austerity measures and privatization for the collapse of security standards and demanded that those responsible be held accountable.
Protesters confronted riot police with molotov cocktails on the sidelines of huge protests that erupted across the country. The scenes are reminiscent of the days of angry protests following the disaster, the largest that Greece's right-wing government has faced since its election in 2019.
At the same time, a 24-hour strike by public transport workers paralyzed the cities, demanding justice for their dead colleagues, safety improvements, and pay rises.
Protestors and relatives of the victims are still awaiting the outcome of a judicial investigation into the deadly collision. Investigators are not due to finish their probe until March 8.

Fascist salutes and slogans echoed through Rome as dozens attended a far-right memorial event for the fascist leader Mikis Mantakas, who communist militants ambushed during the “years of lead” in 1975.
The horrifying event occurred a month after Italy’s supreme court ruled against the criminalization of the infamous fascist salute, used by Italy’s fascist dictator Benito Mussolini, among others.
The display of hatred marked the second of its kind in a matter of weeks after hundreds of fascists commemorated another cadre of the far-right Italian Social Movement (MSI) party, the de facto successor party to Mussolini’s regime. Italy’s current PM, Giorgia Meloni, also took her first political steps in the MSI.
“The years of lead” from the 1960s to the late 1980s saw a violent power struggle period between communist and fascist groups.
The fascist commemorations were also attended by regional politicians and received support from leaders of the ruling far-right Brothers of Italy party.

Israeli occupation forces targeted civilians waiting for aid trucks on Al-Rashid Street, killing at least 77 people and injuring 250. Palestinians in Gaza, already suffering from months of starvation, faced further tragedy as Israeli forces continued to block UN aid deliveries.
While Israel allows a limited number of humanitarian aid trucks into the Gaza Strip, these are mostly directed to the southern regions. This allocation leaves the northern areas suffering under the Israeli siege. Consequently, residents in these areas have been forced to consume animal feed and leaves, desperately trying to survive.

Heavily armed gangs launched an assault on Haiti's main international airport, engaging in a fierce firefight with police and soldiers in the latest attack on government infrastructure. The insurgents also targeted the country's two largest prisons in a coordinated effort to free gang members, resulting in thousands of jailbreaks.
A coalition of armed groups claimed responsibility for the attack, stating it aimed to prevent Haitian Prime Minister Ariel Henry from returning from his trip abroad to Kenya.
In many cases, the heavily armed gangs are outgunning Haiti's police, who often do not even have essential equipment. Approximately 80% of Port-au-Prince is now under gang control, and last year alone, 5,000 lives were lost to gang-related violence.
In Nairobi, Haitian PM Henry and Kenyan President William Ruto formalized an agreement authorizing an imminent UN-backed multinational intervention. Previously, Kenya's high court ruled the mission as unconstitutional.

Karenni resistance groups in Myanmar are close to securing the entirety of Kayah State as a result of launching Operation 1111 back in November. Since then, the resistance has made significant gains, with local forces claiming they have managed to take over all junta-controlled towns, bases, and outposts, with the exception of the Regional Military Command in the state’s capital, Loikaw.
Footage shows fighters of the Karenni Nationalities Defense Force (KNDF) engaging in ground combat with government troops while aerial attacks are ravaging the state. The KNDF is the most significant force in Operation 1111, launched by an alliance of several Karenni resistance groups. Despite Kayah State being Myanmar’s geographically smallest state since its founding following the 2021 military coup, the KNDF has emerged as one of the country’s strongest resistance groups.

Clashes broke out between protesters and police on the Mediterranean island of Corsica, France. Protesters hurled Molotov cocktails and flares at police blocking streets in an attempt to repel the protest with water cannons and tear gas.
The protesters took to the streets to mark the second anniversary of the killing of Corsican independence leader and former member of the National Liberation Front of Corsica (FLNC) Yvan Colonna in prison. Multiple prisoner solidarity organizations and several independence and anti-government activists attended the protest.
The clashes came just a little over a month after the FLNC reiterated their goal of a sovereign Corsican nation-state. Since the murder of Yvan Colonna in 2022 and the mass protests that ensued, the island has been experiencing a political upheaval, with FLNC groups announcing the return of armed struggle with dozens of non-lethal bomb attacks across the island.

A pro-Israel man assaulted activists at a pro-Palestine protest in Ontario, Canada. The man stopped his vehicle near the demonstrators and began shouting and cursing at them before attacking them with a nail gun. He was later arrested and charged with one count each of possessing weapons dangerous to the public, assault with a weapon, and mischief, as well as two counts of assault.
The protest, attended by around 100 people, remained peaceful until the man assaulted the protesters. Since the beginning of Israel's war on the Gaza Strip, many people have taken to the streets across Canada, calling for an immediate ceasefire and condemning the crimes committed against the people of Gaza.

Watch African revolutionary Thomas Sankara's sharp criticism of imperialism and the culture it spreads to make us 'go along with all its maneuvers.'
Thomas Sankara was a communist revolutionary leader who became President of Burkina Faso in 1983. His revolutionary ideology drew inspiration from Marxism-Leninism, pan-Africanism, women’s liberation, and anti-imperialism.
Sankara was assassinated in 1987 in a coup that several critics have alleged was backed by France. France colonized Burkina Faso until 1960, and upon coming to power, Sankara’s government took several steps to reduce France’s ongoing neo-colonial control of the country.
One of Sankara’s first moves was to rename the country from Upper Volta to Burkina Faso, meaning “land of the upright people.”

“The US flag is drenched with our blood.” - We start this year, Women’s History Month, with these strong words by Black US women’s rights community organizer and civil rights leader Fannie Lou Hamer. In this interview from South Carolina in 1968, Hamer argues that the US flag “is drenched with our blood,” also adding that the US was built on the “backs of Black people” in a damning indictment of slavery.
Born in Montgomery County, Hamer was the last of 20 children and worked picking cotton with her family from the age of six. She became interested in the civil rights movement in the 1950s and became actively involved after being denied the right to vote in 1962.
Hamer encouraged thousands of Black US citizens to register to vote in Mississippi. Due to this, she was extorted, threatened, and shot at by white racists and the police.

Did you know the US dropped more bombs on Vietnam than were dropped by all sides during the entire Second World War? Did you also know that Vietnam’s communist guerrillas brought the world’s largest army to its knees anyway?
On this day in 1965, the US began the operation; Vietnam was a country divided into the communist North, led by the revolutionary Ho Chi Minh, and the US-occupied South. Communist troops were organized into the People’s Army of Vietnam (PAVN) and the Viet Cong, the underground guerrilla front active in South Vietnam.
Vietnam’s communist forces used effective tactics like hit-and-run attacks and ambushes. In addition, they used complex underground tunnel systems to transport ammunition, retreat, and penetrate deep behind enemy lines.
Their success also came with immense sacrifice, suffering huge losses as the US behaved with cruelty, dropping 20 million gallons of chemical weapons during the war. Up to 3 million Vietnamese lost their lives, mostly civilians.

Israeli settlers entered the northern Gaza Strip to establish a settlement. At least 10 settlers managed to pass through Erez Crossing, while others were erecting structures between the two walls surrounding the Strip. The settlers posted videos of themselves eating strawberries from inside Gaza. They are part of a movement supported by several Israeli politicians and lawmakers, aiming to rebuild settlements in Gaza.
Since the beginning of Israel’s war on Gaza, many states have warned Israel against building settlements in the area. While Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has denied any plans to build settlements in Gaza, many of his ministers have participated in conferences advocating for settlements in the region. Meanwhile, people in northern Gaza are starving and facing death while attempting to access aid, yet Israeli settlers continue to mobilize to reoccupy Gaza.

Twenty years ago today, a US-backed coup overthrew Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide. Coincidentally or not, it happened shortly after Aristide attempted to demand reparations from the Caribbean country’s former colonial overlord, France. The coup and the ensuing 15-year UN occupation led to the total destabilization of the country, paving the way for yet another UN occupation pushed through in 2023.
Do you think Haiti, trapped between the US and France, will be able to regain its sovereignty after two decades of imperialists meddling in its affairs?

The Israeli military has released harrowing drone footage capturing this morning's massacre in southwest Gaza City, where at least 104 people have been killed and over 1,000 injured. The footage depicts hundreds of desperate Palestinians rushing towards aid trucks, escorted by Israeli tanks, while numerous lifeless bodies lay on the ground.
According to the UN, at least 576,000 people in the Gaza Strip are just one step away from famine. Despite the dire situation, Israel persistently obstructs aid from reaching starving Palestinians, particularly the estimated 300,000 individuals in northern Gaza who are largely isolated from assistance.
The UN has cautioned that the humanitarian aid reaching Gaza City is insufficient to avert a famine. At least nine children have already died from dehydration and malnutrition, mainly in Gaza City.
One in six children under the age of 2 is acutely malnourished. With only six hospitals partially functioning, the situation remains dire.
