  •   Out of the Ruins
    Dissent (IF 0.454) Pub Date : 2024-02-04
    Natasha Lewis

    When we planned this issue’s special section on the global left, we had no idea that we would be confronted with a devastating crisis in the Middle East, one that has had major ripple effects on politics around the world. The war Israel launched in Gaza after Hamas’s brutal attack on October 7 has created new divides and exacerbated old tensions. A growing peace movement is calling for an end to Israel’s

  •   Marvel World
    Dissent (IF 0.454) Pub Date : 2024-02-04
    Sam Adler-Bell

    As a kid, my favorite superhero was Batman. For me, superheroes are all about their origin story—not necessarily how they got their superpowers (Batman, after all, doesn’t have any), but why they’re driven to super-heroism. And Batman’s origin story is great: billionaire Bruce Wayne uses the financial bequest of his murdered parents to become strong enough to save them; only he can’t do that, because

  •   A Left That Can Do Both
    Dissent (IF 0.454) Pub Date : 2024-02-04
    Timothy Shenk

    The most important point to make at the start of a feature on the global left is that there is no such thing as “the global left”—but we should still talk about it anyway. Workers of the world have not united, and neither has anyone else, which means that the global left remains an abstraction. But it’s a useful abstraction to keep in mind. A global campaign for equality, freedom, and dignity is an

  •   Labour Under New Management
    Dissent (IF 0.454) Pub Date : 2024-02-04
    James Stafford

    In the next British general election, due to happen within the year, the Labour Party is set to sweep into power after fourteen years in opposition. Its two major rivals, the Conservative Party and the Scottish National Party (SNP), have imploded in scandal and division. The financial meltdown unleashed by the forty-nine-day tenure of former Prime Minister Liz Truss propelled Labour to a commanding

  •   The French Left's Delicate Unity
    Dissent (IF 0.454) Pub Date : 2024-02-04
    Cole Stangler

    In many respects, the French left is one of the strongest in Europe. Its loose coalition of parties—the New Ecological and Social Popular Union (NUPES)—makes up the biggest opposition bloc in the National Assembly, counting dozens more seats than the far-right National Rally.

  •   AMLO's Final Act
    Dissent (IF 0.454) Pub Date : 2024-02-04
    Humberto Beck, Patrick Iber

    During his five years in office, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, the president of Mexico, has rarely left the country. But in September 2023, AMLO, as he is commonly known, made a trip to Colombia and Chile, Latin American countries that are also currently governed by the left. In Colombia, AMLO met with President Gustavo Petro and participated in the Latin American and Caribbean Conference on Drugs,

  •   A Surprise Breakthrough in Guatemala
    Dissent (IF 0.454) Pub Date : 2024-02-04
    Juan Luis Font

    When Guatemalans voted in general elections last summer, those with democratic inclinations had few reasons for hope. The electoral authority had disqualified three presidential candidates for various reasons, which ultimately came down to one: the government wanted to prevent them from winning. T he pro–status quo parties, associated with corruption and impunity, had an abundance of campaign funds

  •   A Historic Junction: The Israeli Left After October 7
    Dissent (IF 0.454) Pub Date : 2024-02-04
    Sally Abed, Yael Berda, Eli Cook, Joshua Leifer

    After more than two months of intensive bombardment, Israel’s war in Gaza continues to exact a terrible human toll. As of this writing, Israeli forces have killed close to 20,000 Palestinians, the majority of them civilians. According to the United Nations, roughly 1.8 million people, or 80 percent of Gaza’s population, have been internally displaced since the war’s start. Within Israel, an atmosphere

  •   Another Defeat for Turkey's Opposition
    Dissent (IF 0.454) Pub Date : 2024-02-04
    Nikki Salinas

    In May, Turkey re-elected President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. His Justice and Development Party (AKP) has become increasingly authoritarian over his twenty years in power. In the run-up to the election, there was some hope a united front could unseat the president. But political divisions, along with significant state repression, resulted in yet another defeat for the opposition.

  •   Sahra Wagenknecht Divides the German Left
    Dissent (IF 0.454) Pub Date : 2024-02-04
    Lauren Stokes

    When the German MP Sahra Wagenknecht took the microphone at a press conference in October to explain why she was leaving Die Linke (the Left), she said she had to launch a new party because without dramatic change, “in ten years we will no longer recognize our country.” Her new party, the Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance—For Reason and Justice, aims to resolve Germany’s existential crisis.

  •   Poland After Law and Justice
    Dissent (IF 0.454) Pub Date : 2024-02-04
    Cyryl Ryzak

    After eight years of hardline national-Catholic rule, the Law and Justice Party (PiS) has been deprived of the opportunity to continue governing Poland. It squandered the goodwill its popular program of family benefits had built with harsh anti-abortion measures enabled by its controversial takeover of the Constitutional tribunal. Its defeat in the October elections was welcomed with euphoria by the

  •   Terrorism Investigations on Campus and the New McCarthyism
    Dissent (IF 0.454) Pub Date : 2024-02-04
    Anthony O'Rourke, Wadie E. Said

    In the 1960s, the FBI’s counterintelligence program (COINTELPRO) routinely infiltrated campus antiwar and civil rights groups, investigating thousands of students with the aim of discrediting their activism and destroying their career prospects. After a Senate committee led by Frank Church exposed this practice, the FBI disavowed it and applied a heightened standard for initiating investigations at

  •   We Are Already Defying the Supreme Court
    Dissent (IF 0.454) Pub Date : 2024-02-04
    Ryan Doerfler, Samuel Moyn

    The idea of disregarding the U.S. Supreme Court—simply ignoring its decisions—has become a flash point. “Americans will not tolerate defiance of the institution and the rule of law,” remarked one conservative law professor, irate about the possibility that President Joe Biden or other political officials might engage in such behavior. Who has defied the Supreme Court in the past? If leading examples

  •   Terror and the Ethics of Resistance
    Dissent (IF 0.454) Pub Date : 2024-02-04
    Brian Morton

    After the terror attacks of September 11, 2001, it took the United States almost two years to forfeit the sympathy of the world. After the terror attacks of October 7 of last year, Israel, a more nimble superpower, accomplished the same feat in just a few days. Because the atrocities committed by Hamas have been eclipsed by the horrors that Israel has brought down on the people of Gaza, a consideration

  •   The Darkened Light of Faith: Race, Democracy, and Freedom in African American Political Thought by Melvin L. Rogers, and: King: A Life by Jonathan Eig (review)
    Dissent (IF 0.454) Pub Date : 2024-02-04
    William P. Jones

    In recent years, the United States has seen the entrenchment of an insurgent and overtly racist hard right, a retreat from fleeting but once seemingly sincere commitments to addressing the injus tices of police brutality and mass incarceration, and a growing backlash against voting rights, affirmative action, and other gains of the civil rights movement. How should we relate to history in a time like

  •   Freedom's Dominion: A Saga of White Resistance to Federal Power by Jefferson Cowie (review)
    Dissent (IF 0.454) Pub Date : 2024-02-04
    Erin R. Pineda

    Last summer, Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville stirred controversy by insist ing that white nationalists were not racists but simply loyal American citizens like any other. In an interview on Alabama public radio about his opposition to the Pentagon’s personnel policies, among them efforts to prevent white supremacists from serving in the armed forces, Tuberville claimed that the people the Biden administration

  •   Left Is Not Woke by Susan Neiman, and: After Black Lives Matter: Policing and Anti-Capitalist Struggle by Cedric Johnson (review)
    Dissent (IF 0.454) Pub Date : 2024-02-04
    Susie Linfield

    In Left Is Not Woke, the moral philosopher Susan Neiman attempts a sorely needed intervention against the woke left in the hope of rescuing it from its addiction to identity politics in their most reduc tive form. Neiman is the author of, among other acclaimed works, Learning from the Germans, an account of how a country can come to terms with its barbaric past. Her new book will hopefully be read

  •   Dissent at Seventy
    Dissent (IF 0.454) Pub Date : 2024-02-04
    Timothy Shenk

    The kind of person who makes it to the last page of Dissent already knows the line I’m supposed to quote in a celebration of our seventieth birthday. “When intellectuals can do nothing else, they start a magazine,” Irving Howe said about Dissent’s founding.

  •   Wouldn't It Be Nice
    Dissent (IF 0.454) Pub Date : 2023-09-08
    Timothy Shenk

    Abstract: Listen closely and you can hear the sound of the great consensus machine whirring to life as it cranks out another verdict on the way the world works. Neoliberalism, it has been decided, is finished.

  •   Ultra Violence
    Dissent (IF 0.454) Pub Date : 2023-09-08
    Nelson Lichtenstein

    Abstract: Rachel Maddow’s podcast tells the story of American Nazis in the 1940s. But the era’s real and lasting authoritarian danger came from the spectacular growth of a national security state.

  •   Plastic People
    Dissent (IF 0.454) Pub Date : 2023-09-08
    Jane Hu

    Abstract: There has long been a gap between stereotypical ideas of women’s empowerment and gendered reality. Barbie explores these contradictions in miniature.

  •   The Habitation Economy
    Dissent (IF 0.454) Pub Date : 2023-09-08
    Fred Block

    Abstract: We need a new paradigm to make sense of our current economy—and to offer a persuasive policy agenda that gives those at the local level the resources and mechanisms they need to shape what they consume and produce.

  •   Saule Omarova's Plan to Remake the Financial System
    Dissent (IF 0.454) Pub Date : 2023-09-08
    Edward Ongweso Jr.

    Abstract: The major thrust of Omarova’s research concerns how various private and public entities are formed, contested, and deployed to create our financial system—and the myriad flaws that define it. Her proposed alternatives stem from deep knowledge of what’s missing from our current policies and how they can be improved.

  •   Ask a Neoliberal An Interview with J. Bradford DeLong
    Dissent (IF 0.454) Pub Date : 2023-09-08
    Timothy Shenk, J. Bradford DeLong

    Abstract: An economist at UC Berkeley and former member of the Clinton administration, DeLong now views the neoliberal project as a failure. But in 1999 he said it was “the only live utopian program in the world today.” We talked about neoliberalism’s origins, the sources of its appeal, and whether we have really moved beyond it.

  •   A New Class Consciousness
    Dissent (IF 0.454) Pub Date : 2023-09-08
    Andrew Elrod

    Abstract: The Biden era has, in some respects, been a boon for unions. They have a friendly voice in the White House. Yet if you ask anyone in organized labor today whether they believe the United States is moving beyond neoliberalism, they will accuse you of idealism.

  •   The Struggle for Meaningful Work
    Dissent (IF 0.454) Pub Date : 2023-09-08
    Elizabeth Anderson

    Abstract: This conflict over the proper treatment of workers during the COVID-19 pandemic is the latest battle in a three-century struggle over the political implications of the country’s traditional work ethic.

  •   The Geopolitics of Industrial Policy
    Dissent (IF 0.454) Pub Date : 2023-09-08
    Yakov Feygin, Daniela Gabor, Ho-fung Hung, Thea Riofrancos, Quinn Slobodian

    Abstract: Is a new Cold War the price of admission for the return of industrial policy? Can we develop a new political economy without placing national security on the throne once occupied by market competitiveness?

  •   What I Saw at the Revolution That Didn't Happen
    Dissent (IF 0.454) Pub Date : 2023-09-08
    Michael Kazin

    Abstract: I spent two years of my life as a revolutionary in a country where most people loathed the very idea of social upheaval. I don’t regret what I did from 1968 to 1970, although I realize I may have played a small, if unintentional, part in speeding the right’s path to national power.

  •   Chipping Away at the Right to Strike
    Dissent (IF 0.454) Pub Date : 2023-09-08
    Veena Dubal

    Abstract: On June 1, the Supreme Court issued a significant decision against the labor movement in Glacier Northwest v. Teamsters Local Union No. 174. In an 8–1 split, the Court found that the National Labor Relations Act does not protect striking cement truck drivers from being sued by their employer, who alleges damages for lost cement caused by their work stoppage. The decision, perhaps by design

  •   Money Power
    Dissent (IF 0.454) Pub Date : 2023-09-08
    Nina Luo

    Abstract: If we want to move toward a world that meets everyone’s needs, we will need to get serious about the role of money on the left.

  •   Cold War Liberalism Returns
    Dissent (IF 0.454) Pub Date : 2023-09-08
    Patrick Iber

    Abstract: Because of the echoes in our times of the conditions that produced Cold War liberalism, it should not surprise us that recent years have brought a renewed interest in the tradition. Today, its inheritors warn ominously of the growing threats from the authoritarian right. But they are also concerned about the left’s drift toward a rejection of liberalism. The war in Ukraine has further enlivened

  •   To Hell With Poverty
    Dissent (IF 0.454) Pub Date : 2023-09-08
    Bertrand Cooper

    Abstract: Desmond opens his book with a simple question: “why is there so much poverty in America?” His central argument is that those of us who are not poor are the beneficiaries and authors of that poverty.

  •   Who Built the Zones?
    Dissent (IF 0.454) Pub Date : 2023-09-08
    Angus Burgin

    Abstract: In Crack-Up Capitalism Quinn Slobodian turns his attention to the past half-century, explaining how market advocates pioneered a different approach to restricting the state: the special economic zone.

  •   Wild Analysis
    Dissent (IF 0.454) Pub Date : 2023-09-08
    Victoria Baena

    Abstract: In March 2020, the writer and academic Jacqueline Rose was putting the finishing touches on her book On Violence and On Violence Against Women when the avenues of the world’s capitals grew quiet. Rose could hardly have expected to see the themes of her writing so abruptly tear open the world’s fabric.

  •   Crime Online
    Dissent (IF 0.454) Pub Date : 2023-09-08
    Bijan Stephen

    Abstract: The majority of property crimes are now cybercrimes—including identity theft, credit card fraud, and vari_ous kinds of cyber attacks—and they are on the rise. This development raises serious political questions. What are our digital rights, and how are they upheld? When we’re online, who’s in charge of protecting us? How are our institutions addressing the social transition to the internet

  •   Apocalypse Chow
    Dissent (IF 0.454) Pub Date : 2023-09-08
    Arun Gupta

    Abstract: Why might the same dish—a sandwich, a slice of pizza, a plate of dumplings—cost three or four times more in one restaurant than in another restaurant a block or two away, and the cheaper version tastes much better?

    Dissent (IF 0.454) Pub Date : 2023-05-05
    Natasha Lewis

    “In An Inconvenient Truth, the 2006 documentary about Al Gore’s PowerPoint presentation on climate change, there is a computer-generated visualization of water spilling into the streets of Manhattan and covering the 9/11 Memorial. If a certain proportion of ice around Greenland and Antarctica melted, Gore says, citing “Tony Blair’s scientific advisor,” the world’s sea level would rise, covering large

  •   Cruelty and Luxury: The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie at Fifty
    Dissent (IF 0.454) Pub Date : 2023-05-05
    Sam Russek

    Last fall marked the fifty-year anniversary of Luis Buñuel’s The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie, a surreal, plot-light comedy about the waking anxieties of the upper classes in France. Filmed three years after the May 1968 protests, following President Charles de Gaulle’s shaky triumph over the largest student-led general strike ever attempted in the country, Discreet Charm sees its wealthy sextet

    Ewan Gibbs

    Fulmer Hamilton stands in a boilersuit and a hard hat wielding a flare gun. Further oil production threatens disaster on the Kinloch Bravo platform, located off the coast of Scotland in the harsh conditions of the North Sea. Following a power outage, only a manual shutdown can override the system and spare the crew from a petroleum-fueled explosion. The Scottish rig worker is bending the rules, following

  •   Sarah Polley's Act of Imagination
    Dissent (IF 0.454) Pub Date : 2023-05-05
    Brianna Di Monda

    In Sarah Polley’s new film Women Talking, which won Best Adapted Screenplay at this year’s Academy Awards, a group of women ranging in age from their mid-teens to their seventies meet in a hayloft to discuss whether or not to leave their Mennonite colony. For years the girls and women have woken up bruised or bleeding, attacked in the night by what they could only understand to be ghosts or Satan.

  •   Climate Still Changes Everything
    Dissent (IF 0.454) Pub Date : 2023-05-05
    Alyssa Battistoni

    When the Inflation Reduction Act was signed into law last August, it was celebrated as the biggest piece of federal climate legislation ever passed in the United States. This was an astonishingly low bar to clear: the IRA is also the country’s only real climate legislation. If its passage was a dubious landmark, it also stood at the end of an era for a U.S. climate movement galvanized nearly fifteen

  •   The IRA Is an Invitation to Organizers
    Dissent (IF 0.454) Pub Date : 2023-05-05
    Kate Aronoff

    The Inflation Reduction Act would not have happened without the movement for a Green New Deal, but it shouldn’t be confused for one. The climate left (broadly defined) now faces a novel problem: how to deal with having won something—and keep fighting for more. It’s understandably hard for those who supported Green New Deal proposals for transformative investments in public goods to see the IRA—a bundle

  •   Fighting Fire and Fascism in the American West
    Dissent (IF 0.454) Pub Date : 2023-05-05
    Patrick Bigger, Sara Nelson

    Late in the summer of 2020, forests across the western United States were on fire. In that year alone, California experienced six of the twenty largest fires in its recorded history, including the North Complex Fire, which killed sixteen people and burned more than 300,000 acres. Further north, the Beachie Creek and Lionshead fires merged near the Oregon-Washington border, ultimately burning more than

  •   The Carbon Capture Distraction
    Dissent (IF 0.454) Pub Date : 2023-05-05
    Holly Jean Buck

    In 2012, the Environmental Protection Agency proposed a new set of stricter carbon dioxide emissions standards. For coal-fired power plants, one way to meet those benchmarks would have been to use carbon capture technology, in which special equipment is installed to separate out CO2 from power plant gas streams. To complete the system called carbon capture and storage (CCS), the separated carbon is

  •   Markets Won't Stop Fossil Fuels
    Dissent (IF 0.454) Pub Date : 2023-05-05
    Geoff Mann

    In early January, the United Arab Emirates named Sultan Al Jaber president of COP28, the twenty-eighth meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Al Jaber is CEO of the UAE’s state-owned oil company, Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), and chair of the board of Masdar, the state-owned renewable energy corporation. He has announced

  •   Power Games: How General Electric Exports Privatization
    Dissent (IF 0.454) Pub Date : 2023-05-05
    Saheli Khastagir

    Last February, when President Joe Biden’s Build Back Better plan looked all but dead, General Electric joined twenty-six other U.S. companies to call on Congress to salvage a climate deal. On its website, GE stressed that tax credits and grants to boost clean energy would advance U.S. interests in the global energy transition, generating domestic jobs in the wind industry. Filings compiled by the watchdog

  •   The Future of the Labor-Climate Alliance
    Dissent (IF 0.454) Pub Date : 2023-05-05
    J. Mijin Cha

    President Joe Biden has emphasized the need for climate action since he was on the campaign trail. His platform included policies inspired by the Green New Deal, and one of his first acts in office was to issue an omnibus executive order calling for a “Whole of Government” approach to tackling the climate crisis. Then, in August 2022, he signed the Inflation Reduction Act. Heralded as the most significant

    Amna A. Akbar

    On Saturday, March 4, I arrived at Intrenchment Creek Park in DeKalb County, Georgia, for the first day of a week of action against a $90 million construction project undertaken by the Atlanta Police Foundation—a private entity, backed by local CEOs and political leaders, that advances police interests. The foundation wants to raze eighty-five acres of public forest to build the largest police training

  •   The Lithium Problem: An Interview with Thea Riofrancos
    Dissent (IF 0.454) Pub Date : 2023-05-05
    Alyssa Battistoni, Thea Riofrancos

    Abstract: After years of outright climate denial and political intransigence, the development of renewable energy is finally underway. When it comes to transportation—the number one source of U.S. carbon emissions—the strategy for decarbonization has focused heavily on replacing gas-powered cars with rechargeable electric vehicles. The Inflation Reduction Act offers billions of dollars of subsidies

  •   The Coming Public Education Crisis
    Dissent (IF 0.454) Pub Date : 2023-05-05
    Justin H. Vassallo

    Of all the social inequities that the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted in the United States, the crisis of public education is among the most intractable. Reports of staffing shortages and declining enrollment—twin problems especially acute for poorer districts contending with slashed budgets and meager classroom resources—have persisted even after the introduction of vaccines for children. With most

    At La Colmena, a small community worker center in Staten Island with light yellow walls plastered with posters about labor rights, children play while their mothers organize. “I started seeing the need to organize women and to look at the worker holistically, to see that they also have a life, they also have children,” said Yesenia Mata, executive director of La Colmena, which has supported low-wage

    Alice M. speaks with some difficulty due to an early childhood brain injury. She worked with counselors at Mainchance—a New York City center for homeless adults where I volunteer as chair of the board—for four years before securing a studio in supportive housing with a Catholic agency in Queens.

    Arvin Alaigh

    On January 12, 1971, two FBI agents burst through the doors of the Adlai Stevenson Institute in Chicago to arrest Eqbal Ahmad. A preeminent South Asian activist and analyst of international politics, Ahmad had been charged with participating in a conspiracy to kidnap National Security Advisor Henry Kissinger and bomb steam tunnels underneath government buildings in Washington, D.C. A vocal opponent

  •   Will Be Wild
    Dissent (IF 0.454) Pub Date : 2023-05-05
    Matthew Sitman

    When we imagine what it means to live through a political crisis, most of us probably summon visions of extremity: assassinations and coups, depressions and wars—times of unusual danger or alarm, when malevolent forces are on the march. We wonder how long it would take us to realize what’s happening, and how we’d react when we do. We spin heroic scenarios about joining the resistance or taking to the

    Leo Casey

    Two strikes serve as bookends for the heyday of the twentieth-century American labor movement: the 1936–37 sit-down strike of the fledgling United Auto Workers (UAW) against what was then the nation’s largest corporation, General Motors, and the 1981 strike of the Professional Air Traffic Controllers Organization (PATCO) against the Federal Aviation Administration, a government agency. The successful

  •   A Web of Hidden Wealth
    Dissent (IF 0.454) Pub Date : 2023-05-05
    Ruqaiyah Zarook

    Some conspiracy theorists swear there’s a tiny spider in the top-right corner of the one-dollar bill. The fine lines around the border of the banknote certainly look like a tightly spun web. But you don’t have to believe that U.S. currency contains hidden iconography to see value in the metaphor. Kimberly Kay Hoang’s recent book, Spiderweb Capitalism, uses the image of a spiderweb to evoke the shadowy

    Nia T. Evans

    They could be any couple. The man appears to be talking or resting. The woman wears a furrowed brow, her face illuminated and surrounded by shadow. The title gives them away: they are Amina and Amiri Baraka, the celebrated poets and political activists, captured on film by Ming Smith. To mention the Barakas is to summon seismic political and cultural forces, but here they are simply two lovers, perhaps

    Dissent (IF 0.454) Pub Date : 2022-09-23
    Sarah Jones

    Abstract: MasterClass, the online-learning platform, would probably not exist without a culture shaped by meritocratic mythology. It's not college but something better—video lessons without the burdens of student loan debt or the awkwardness of dorm life. Nobody earns a degree from MasterClass, which sells individual subscriptions for $180 a year, but credentials aren't really the point. MasterClass

    Abstract: In August 2020, Aliuane Thiam—better known as Akon, the Senegalese-American R&B crooner famous for his early 2000s Top 40 hits—placed the first stone on a site where he plans to build a $6 billion city. Surrounded by government officials, Akon promised that the city, audaciously named after himself, would bring tourism and jobs to Senegal—and that it would run on Akoin, his proposed cryptocurrency

    Aziz Rana

    Abstract: Today, the United States is no longer segregated as a matter of explicit law. But throughout the country—in cities and rural areas, blue states and red ones—racial separation remains a common feature of collective life. Alongside real improvements since the high tide of Jim Crow, recent decades have brought profound backsliding, and many communities and institutions are more segregated now
