Workers Party (Brazil)

Michael Löwy warns that democracy is at risk in Brazil and that, despite his contradictions, Lula is the only option to stop the “suicide train” of fascism.

Brazil’s presidential election this year pits the far right against a broad coalition led by Lula and including the Workers Party and PSOL, the party of the socialist left. Pedro Fuentes and Peter B look at what to expect.

The Socialist Left Movement argue there is no middle ground in Brazil’s elections: either Lula wins or Brazil has its worst government ever, creating a dangerous situation.

Jonathan Strauss & Clive Tillman — The first International Anti-Fascist Conference for the Sovereignty of Peoples, held in Porto Alegre, was an important step forward in organising the struggle against the far right across the Americas and internationally.

Eric Toussaint — The Porto Alegre anti-fascist and anti-imperialist conference marked a significant moment of internationalist renewal in a global context characterised by the far right’s rise and the proliferation of conflicts.

Israel Dutra — Porto Alegre was once again at the forefront of the international struggle, hosting thousands of people from over 40 countries to discuss anti-fascist and anti-imperialist struggles.

Israel Dutra — The anti-imperialist struggle has gained strength as a result of the attacks by Trump and his far-right allies in Brazil.

Socialism and Liberty Party, Workers’ Party and Communist Party of Brazil will host a global gathering in Porto Alegre to organize and debate how to build a movement to confront the far-right.

Following its cancellation due to the floods in Porto Alegre in May 2024, the 1st International Antifascist Conference will take place next year in the capital of Rio Grande do Sul.

Today’s global capitalism is sinking into unimaginable levels of barbarism. Nowhere is this barbarism more glaring than in Israel’s genocide in Gaza

Eric Toussaint — What is certain is that if we do not try to build a powerful international movement against the far right, the latter is likely to continue its advance and become emboldened.

From the initiative of PSOL and PT from Rio Grande do Sul, we call on international anti-fascist movements to open a dialogue that can confront the destruction that is being carried out by the far right.
