International Viewpoint, the monthly English-language magazine of the Fourth International, is a window to radical alternatives world-wide, carrying reports, analysis and debates from all corners of the globe. Correspondents in over 50 countries report on popular struggles, and the debates that are shaping the left of tomorrow.
Gauche anticapitaliste (“Anticapitalist Left” – Belgian section of the Fourth International) is presenting a list for the European elections, for an anticapitalist alternative worthy of the name. At federal and regional level, we call for a vote for the PTB (Parti du Travail de Belgique), in particular for candidates representing social struggles. Beyond our disagreements, the essential thing is indeed that here and now, only the PTB is in a position to inflict the most monumental slap in the face possible to the right and the far right, while sanctioning this so-called left (the Socialist Party (PS) and Ecolo (Greens) which rolls out the red carpet for them.

This contribution highlights the effects of this war in the opposite direction to what Putin was seeking, both in Ukraine - on the basis of popular mobilizations for dignity - but also in its Eurasian neighbourhood, as well as in NATO and the EU.
“The Ukrainian left should also determine its position on the terms for ending the war, as it cannot adhere unconditionally to the view of Ukraine’s government.”
“Those who now tolerate a Russian victory also tolerate a victory for both global and “domestic” fossil and commodity-based capital, which is closely intertwined with the Russian fossil and extractive sectors. Therefore, a new anti-militarist movement must uphold solidarity with the civil as well as armed resistance of the Ukrainian people, and with the Ukrainian, Belarusian and Russian leftists who oppose the Putin regime’s war.”
“In the Dáil this morning, Minister Fleming disgraced himself by again using the ‘Putin’s puppets’ smear. The Minister knows full well that we are relentless critics of Putin’s invasion of Ukraine and his authoritarian right wing politics.”

In Kanaky as in all colonized territories: no justice, no peace!”
