The radicalism of the youth of the 1960 was not "drug inspired." It was a response to Vietnam, the struggle for civil rights, and, even more fundamentally, the fresh and not-forgotten horrors of the two World Wars. The 1917 October Revolution had not disappeared from memory, capitalism and anti-communism were in bad odor, Stalinism was increasingly discredited, and there was a revival of interest in Trotsky, whose extraordinary books were recognized as political and literary masterworks. This resurgence was suppressed by the reactionary political climate of the Reagan-Thatcher years to which Mr. Luce was exposed, to his own misfortune, during his intellectually formative years.

But Mr. Luce correctly detects a process of radicalization among the world's youth. The question is, at what point will this radicalization break beyond the bounds of the media-vetted pseudo-leftism of people like Sanders and Mamdani and reestablish contact with the the genuine Marxian-socialist political perspective and culture that was exemplified in the October Revolution and figures like Lenin, Trotsky and Luxemburg. This break must and will occur, and the rediscovery of Trotsky's extraordinary political legacy and writings will be a critical element of the reemergence of Marxism as a mass socialist movement based on the working class.

The World Socialist Web Site has posted today a preface I have written to a new edition of Trotsky's autobiography, My Life. It can be accessed at https://t.co/79dx4RaCkC

Piker reminds one of Trotsky's description of Kerensky: "He had no theoretical preparation, no political schooling, no ability to think, no political will." He has "that kind of eloquence which operates neither upon mind or will, but upon the nerves."

Lincoln and the enduring legacy of America’s second revolution: A reply to a critic of the “Letter from Afar” https://t.co/V720nAf4VN

[David North @DavidNorthWSWS]

This letter, signed “A. Lincoln”, appeared in my email this morning. Despite its unexplained origin, the signature demands that attention be given to the letter; and, for this reason, it is being made available to readers of the WSWS.

The tyranny that the generation of 1776 confronted in monarchy has reappeared. Trump has erased the line between public office and private enrichment: the president’s family profits from tariffs he imposes, from cryptocurrency ventures he promotes and from foreign governments seeking access to his favor. https://t.co/kNjlefRt4Z

If Mamdani were transported back to the 1930s as mayor of Berlin, he would say: "Hitler is the leader of the Nazis, but he loves sauerkraut and so do I."

Even after Orbán’s defeat, there is not a single party that describes itself as left-wing or centrist. The parliament will consist of Magyar’s conservative Tisza, Orbán’s authoritarian Fidesz and the fascist Our Homeland.

In October 2004, at Trinity College in Dublin, I explained in detail the significance of the legal precedent of the Nuremberg War Crimes trial of 1945-46. Ignored then in the capitalist media, the relevance of those trials is now widely discussed. https://t.co/xl2SuREV1N
