Chile’s General Election Shows the Threat of the Far Right, the Limits of the Center-Left, and the Potential of a Revolutionary Alternative
On Sunday, Chileans will vote for a new president. The election comes at the end of a center-left administration that has left many disillusioned and paved the way for the advance of the Far Right. But class struggle and revolutionary ideas can change the country’s course.
'At its 2025 convention, the DSA voted to support Palestinian resistance, […] affirming the right of return, Jerusalem as the capital. […] The resolution also declared that endorsing Zionist positions such as “Israel has a right to defend itself” could be an expellable offense. Delegates also passed a resolution titled “Labor for an Arms Embargo” with over 80 percent support.
'At the same time, the convention showed an organization pulled in two directions — responding to the shifts in consciousness around Palestinian liberation, yet being tethered to a strategy that operates within the limits set by the Democratic Party. For instance, the convention voted down a resolution for a single secular Palestinian state, and turned away from formal alignment with BDS — positions that would have placed DSA too openly against the politics of the Democratic Party. Yet in contradiction, they also passed new rules requiring candidates to support BDS and cut ties with Zionist lobbies — an uneasy compromise that captures both the break and its limits.'

In a shocking move, the Department of Justice has targeted activists in New Jersey in a new front in repression of the movement for Palestine and the Trump administration’s authoritarian offensive against the Left, workers, and social movements. The suit comes in response to a protest against a synagogue in West Orange being used to sell illegal Israeli settlements on occupied Palestinian land. The government is spinning what really happened, claiming the protesters were an antisemitic mob.The suit targets the Party for Socialism and Liberation, which has also been targeted by the state for their immigrant solidarity activism in California. The suit also targets American Muslims for Palestine, and includes several individual community activists.The federal government is suing these activists under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, or FACE Act, a piece of legislation designed to prevent anti-abortion protesters from keeping people seeking abortions from entering clinics. This is the first time the legislation has ever been used to target a protest outside of a place of worship.However, it must be reiterated that the activists were not protesting the practice of Judaism — they were protesting supporters of a genocidal regime auctioning off stolen land. It has been common for Zionists to hold events that normalize violence against Palestinians in Jewish community spaces, and use that as a way to misconstrue the intentions of pro-Palestine protesters, many of whom are Jewish themselves.These auctions for stolen Palestinian land in synogogues have been going on for a long time now. These synogogues are not being protested for Judaism, but for hosting this violently racist practice.
“Blocchiamo Tutto!” Strikes and Blockades Paralyze Italy in Solidarity with Gaza
Over a hundred thousand people led strikes and protests in 80 cities across Italy on Monday to demand an end to the genocide in #Palestine and an end to international support for #Israel. Workers shut down ports and railways in a significant display of the unity of the working class, students, and masses.

A few weeks ago, dockworkers in Genoa threatened a total shutdown of ports if #Israel interfered with the #GlobalSumudFlotilla, the humanitarian aid mission of dozens of boats heading to #Gaza to try and break Israel’s siege and blockade. Student organizations in #Spain and #Italy joined the call to action, threatening to shut down their schools.

Trump Uses UN Address to Double Down on Unilateralism and Xenophobia
Trump spoke to the United Nations General Assembly on September 23. His speech named the countries in his crosshairs, doubled down on some of his most aggressive and disruptive policies, and challenged the very idea that the UN still matters.

Israel Labels Members of Global Sumud Flotilla “Terrorists” as It Nears Gaza
As Israel’s genocide in Gaza escalates, the flotilla bringing aid and solidarity is smeared as a “jihadist initiative.” Far from terrorism, it has become a symbol of international resistance that workers and students are preparing to defend.

"Although it seems highly likely, even to the State Department, that Rodriguez acted entirely alone and on his own initiative, this hasn’t stopped the mainstream media, the #Trump administration, or the #Israeli government from attempting to use the shooting to silence its critics, sanctify and romanticize the lives of the victims (a privilege denied to the more than 60,000 people murdered by #Israel in #Gaza), and to actively propagate the lie that the movement for #Palestine is a violent and antisemitic threat to domestic peace.

… In attempting to reconcile how one can be both “progressive” and prepared to work with fascists, Left Voice is compelled to lie about his record. Fain led “autoworkers at the Big Three in a strike” which “made serious gains for workers,” they claim.
