2023 was the year of rising capitalist crisis. Inter-imperialist rivalry continues to heat up between China and United states. The planet was the hottest year on record. Russia-Ukraine war continues. Wildfires and earthquakes ravage lives and environment. Bloody war tears up the working class in Sudan. The Apartheid regime of Israel commits genocide against the working class in Gaza.
But, 2023 was also the year of fightback. It was the year of strikes, 354 to be exact (Wall Street Journal, 12/4). From autoworkers to writers, healthcare workers to pilots, hundreds of thousands are seeing that the world as it is now is unsustainable. From the climate march to the protests against genocide in Gaza, workers and youth took to the streets. We must continue the fightback against racism, sexism, and capitalism. PLP, wherever we were, waged struggles against the bosses’ deadly system. We continue to carry the fight for communist revolution.
