Partie 3 - La défaite de Mélenchon

Nous reviendrons plus tard, dans le détail, sur les causes et les conséquences de la défaite de Jean-Luc Mélenchon, auquel Révolution a apporté un soutien critique. Ici, soulignons simplement que les causes de cette défaite sont à chercher non seulement du côté de la direction de la France insoumise, de sa politique au cours des cinq dernières années, mais aussi du côté des directions des autres partis de gauche. Chacune à leur manière, les candidatures du PS, des Verts, du PCF, du NPA et de Lutte Ouvrière ont contribué à cette défaite. Enfin, n’oublions pas la responsabilité des directions syndicales. Au nom de « l’indépendance syndicale » (cette hypocrisie notoire), elles n’ont pas levé le petit doigt pour tenter de mobiliser les travailleurs autour de la seule candidature susceptible de battre Macron et Le Pen, à savoir celle de Mélenchon.

Si la droite et l’extrême droite sont très largement majoritaires dans les urnes, aujourd’hui, ce n’est pas parce que la classe ouvrière a soif de contre-réformes et de régression sociale. C’est parce que les dirigeants officiels de notre classe – tous, sans exception – ont été incapables d’orienter la colère et la frustration des masses, qui ne cessent de croitre, vers une victoire électorale de la gauche. Le problème fondamental est là, et nulle part ailleurs. C’est donc à ce problème qu’il faut s’attaquer, car il va se poser de nouveau dans les années à venir – non seulement sur le plan électoral, mais aussi et d’abord sur le plan des luttes sociales.

Quelle que soit la composition du prochain gouvernement, qu’il soit présidé par Le Pen ou Macron, de grandes luttes seront à l’ordre du jour. Les jeunes et les travailleurs ne se laisseront pas dépouiller sans mot dire. Aux sceptiques et cyniques professionnels qui, ce soir, se lamentent sur le soi-disant « faible niveau de conscience » des travailleurs, ceux-ci répondront, tôt ou tard, par de puissantes mobilisations sociales. Nous n’avons pas le moindre doute là-dessus. Mais dans le même temps, nous savons que la classe ouvrière ne peut pas prendre le pouvoir et en finir avec la source de tous ses maux, le système capitaliste, sans disposer d’un parti révolutionnaire, d’un parti déterminé à engager la transformation socialiste de la société. C’est à la construction de tels partis qu’est engagée – en France et ailleurs – la Tendance Marxiste Internationale. Pour nous aider dans cette tâche urgente et indispensable, rejoignez-nous !

"Kidnapped in Int'l Waters": Israel Intercepts Gaza-Bound Aid Ship, Detains Greta Thunberg & Others

Democracy Now!   Eleven peace activists and one journalist on board the Gaza Freedom Flotilla ship, the "Madleen," were detained by Israeli soldiers as their ship carrying vital humanitarian aid for starving Palestinians approached Gaza.    The ship was intercepted by Israeli forces in the middle of the night in international waters. Its supplies were seized and communications jammed. The unarmed activists will likely be transported to Israeli detention or "immediately deported," says Ann Wright, a U.S. military veteran who has participated in four Freedom Flotilla journeys and now serves on the steering committee of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition. She calls on citizens of countries around the world to push for the activists' release and an end to Israel's war on Gaza. 

How Israel’s Supporters Play Victim to Justify Genocide & Silence Critics

BreakThrough News   As Israel commits a live-streamed genocide in Gaza, Western media and political elites continue to center one narrative: Jewish fear. But what about the actual victims of this genocide—Palestinians? Journalist Nora Barrows-Friedman joins Rania Khalek on Dispatches for a fearless conversation on Zionist indoctrination in the Jewish diaspora, how antisemitism is being weaponized to silence critics of Israel, and how Jewish identity politics has been manipulated to cover for unspeakable crimes. From the media blackout on Israeli war crimes to the erasure of anti-Palestinian hate crimes—even in the diaspora—Nora lays bare the contradictions and power structures behind it all. 

How the EU is using anti-Russia sanctions to criminalise journalism

The EU sanctioned me and my media outlet for covering Palestine protests in Germany. It’s part of Europe’s growing authoritarianism and militarism, cloaked in language of fighting disinformation and defending democracy.   by Hüseyin Dogru   Part 2 - How the EU uses anti-Russian hysteria to smear Palestine solidarity journalism   The official rationale for sanctioning me hinges on red .’s alleged links to Russian influence. The EU sanctions listing cited just two pieces of “evidence”: that some red. staff had previously worked for Russian-funded media, and that we covered “politically controversial subjects” – specifically: Palestine. That’s it. The listing accuses me, through my work with red ., of “facilitating violent demonstrations”, amplifying “radical Islamic terrorist narratives” and claims our staff “coordinated with occupiers”. Not a single piece of evidence is cited, apart from the fact that we published footage of a pro-Palestine student occupation in Berlin. I...

UN report confirms: Israel is a terrorist state and its goal is to exterminate all Palestinians

Israeli attacks on educational, religious and cultural sites in the Occupied Palestinian Territory amount to war crimes and the crime against humanity of extermination, UN Commission says.     globinfo freexchange Israel has obliterated Gaza’s education system and destroyed over half of all religious and cultural sites in the Gaza Strip, part of a widespread and relentless assault against the Palestinian people in which Israeli forces have committed war crimes and the crime against humanity of extermination, the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem and Israel, said in a new report [yesterday]. While the Commission paid special attention to the situation in Gaza, the report focuses on attacks in the Occupied Palestinian Territory as a whole, and in Israel. “We are seeing more and more indications that Israel is carrying out a concerted campaign to obliterate Palestinian life in Gaza,” said Navi Pi...

How the U.S. & Israel Used Rafael Grossi to Hijack the IAEA and Start a War on Iran

Rafael Grossi, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), allowed the IAEA to be used by the United States and Israel—an undeclared nuclear weapons state in long-term violation of IAEA rules—to manufacture a pretext for war on Iran, despite his agency’s own conclusion that Iran had no nuclear weapons program.   by Medea Benjamin - Nicolas J. S. Davies On June 12th, based on a damning report by Grossi, a slim majority of the IAEA Board of Governors voted to find Iran in non-compliance with its obligations as an IAEA member. Of the 35 countries represented on the Board, only 19 voted for the resolution, while 3 voted against it, 11 abstained and 2 did not vote. The United States contacted eight board member governments on June 10th to persuade them to either vote for the resolution or not to vote. Israeli officials said they saw the U.S. arm-twisting for the IAEA resolution as a significant signal of U.S. support for Israel’s war plans, revealing how much Isra...

War criminal Netanyahu is pushing the Orange Clown and the US into the abyss

globinfo freexchange   It seems that the war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu, is rushing to accelerate the decline of the US empire by forcing Donald Trump into an utterly devastating war with Iran.   Trump shot himself in the foot during his first term by killing the Iran nuclear deal just because he wanted to erase everything from the Obama legacy. His insane narcissism pushed him into crazy acts and made him believe that he could make another deal with Iran credited solely on him.   But now he is in big trouble because he has to deal with a corrupted psychopath who won't hesitate to burn the entire planet just to save himself.  As if the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza was not enough, the out-of-control psychopath Netanyahu, is doing whatever he can to drag the US into a war with Iran. As he realized that the Iranians are approaching the negotiating table again, (rather surprisingly with the man that killed the first deal and assassinated Qasem Soleimani), he decide...
