#WolffBites: Spain's general strike Nov. 11 very effective. Workers demand inflation end, eviction moratorium, housing for residents, not speculators, etc. Follows general strikes in France (Nov 5) and Italy (Nov 8).

#WolffBites: Shame on CA voters who blocked tax on billionaires who threatened otherwise to leave the state. If CA dared threaten to exclude billionaires' products from CA market? Billionaires would think again.

Good Morning friends, just before the Midterm election I participated in a conversation hosted by @DavidGriscom@jacobin and the @DemSocialists on the future of socialism https://t.co/ph0QOv1x4d
Freedom under capitalism is a delusion. Socialism can actually deliver it.
@profwolff, DSA co-chairs Ashik Siddique and Megan Romer, and David Griscom on the future of democratic socialism: https://t.co/PM2LbhCspF
#WolffBites: Colorado voters approved Amendment 87 - for a graduated income tax. That "tax the rich" initiative reversed the shift to a flat-rate tax from Ronald Reagan times.

#WolffBites: French general strike big success, grows as French unions join in 200 cities (1.6 million strong). Demands to reverse inequality favoring the rich at workers' expense. Spreading across Europe.

#WolffBites: The rising gap of socialists vs old party machines showed again last week as Los Angeles joined New York - 2 biggest US cities - in electing socialist mayors.

Harvard report 2026: "our spending on health care per person per year is much higher than in our peer nations, and our health outcomes are worse."

#WolffBites: General strikes: Nov 5 in France, Nov 8 in Italy. The democracy of millions "participating" in the streets. Like US voters for Democrats, economic inequalities are key issues everywhere.
#WolffBites: Italy's bad inflation shows right-wing's failure to solve economic crisis all over Europe. Shift to the left begins as Meloni taxes the rich and those who seek to leave Italy to escape that tax.

Some things to consider after the "elections" tomorrow, and that is how the stock market is likely to respond to this contest, however distorted and manufactured. Keep in mind that to this point, the stock market has been good with the global turn towards fascism, and the neoliberal policies which enabled its rise. I'm citing this so that folks have a clearer sense of what capital, if given ites way, will condition to be possible. If you don't believe me, look at what the markets are currently trying to subject Brazil to in the wake of Lula's victory. #GetPrepared #BuildAndFight https://t.co/ETbMD2A1Q9
#WolffBites: As big French protests expand, they inspire parallel protests in Germany, Italy, Spain, and Portugal. European gov'ts offer few solutions but much police repression, so protests expand.

#WolffBites: The key "reparations" fact: the slave trade transferred huge wealth from Africa to the UK for centuries. Today's UK economy - like Africa's - reflects that transfer and mostly perpetuates it.
