ICTU Global Solidarity Summer School- Solidarity With Ukraine

The Irish Left With Ukraine (ILWU) had the opportunity to host a session at the Irish Congress of Trade Unions Global Solidarity Summer School on Thursday 20th August on the need for solidarity with Ukraine.  Gregor Kerr, Chris Ford and Kateryna Maliuto Osalova spoke.

Chris Ford, secretary and one of the founders of the British-based Ukraine Solidarity Campaign (USC), which works to mobilise left-wing and trade union movements in Britain in support of Ukraine.

Chris and others established the Ukraine Solidarity Campaign in 2014. “We did so,” he said, “because we knew the truth on the ground through our links with the Ukrainian trade unions.  What we said was the truth then, and some said we were lying, has been long proven to be the truth…There was no civil war in Ukraine. There was no coup. There was an external military intervention from the beginning, and that continued and is escalated with a full-scale invasion in February 2022.”
The USC now has seven trade unions affiliated.  He went on to state that the USC undertake two aspects of work – direct aid and political campaigning. “We receive letters and appeals on the ground from national unions as to what is needed.  We particularly have supplied a lot of assistance to mine rescue workers in Donbas. We’ve supported teachers on the front line.  We’ve supported assistance for air raid shelters where classrooms or classes are held”.

Damage and impact of war

Ukraine is not just the frontline.  Air raids and war crimes are a daily reality, yet people still try to get on with everyday life.  Kateryna shared a presentation to show figures and to tell us about how they are responding to the situation as a trade union in Ukraine.

Those figures were stark – over 13,000 missiles, 88,000 communicators drones, 120,000 piloted aerial bombs launched against Ukraine over the past 4 and a half years.  In relation to educational losses, she referred to 4650 educational institutions damaged by bombing, with more than 400 of them completely destroyed.
“The air in Kyiv is horrible, frankly speaking, because of their constant attacks, attacks on storages, and after every attack the warehouses smoulder for two or three weeks. We cannot open the window because the air is horrible. It even hurts the throat when we breathe. In February, there was only electricity for four to five hours a day”.

Solidarity in action

Kateryna then spoke about the solidarity that had been received. “From the very beginning of the war, we received a lot of support from organisations of other countries. Education International (International Teachers Union) created a Solidarity Fund, and a lot of organisations all around the world contributed money to this fund, and we had the opportunity to provide financial assistance to those members whose houses were damaged, or whose members of their families were killed or injured”.

“Thanks to international support, we have been able to buy generators for our regional organisations and head office to keep working.  Through support from Italian colleagues, from the British National Education Union, the American Federation of Teachers, Polish teacher unions, Danish teacher unions, the German Education Union and the Irish National Teachers Organisation who recently  provided a solidarity grant for a pre-school in Pisoschyn in Kharkiv where they have set up a pre-school in an underground shelter – funds that will go towards IT equipment, laptops, projector to help with teaching and a refrigerator for food storage”.

Call for solidarity

We are grateful to the ICTU Global Solidarity Committee for facilitating this presentation at their Summer School.    There is a great opportunity for Irish unions to develop solidarity initiatives to show support for their colleagues in Ukraine; postal workers, emergency workers, education workers, railway workers.  Russia is targeting not only military infrastructure but civilian infrastructure as well.  Continued support and solidarity is needed.
International Trade Union and Social Movement Solidarity Convoy to Ukraine

We are calling for support for the International Convoy to Ukraine departing Brussels 22nd November and returning from 1st December.  The convoy is made up of scores of volunteers driving three routes across Europe to deliver aid and solidarity with likeminded activists in Ukraine. The convoy has the backing of numerous trade unions, parliamentarians and activists across Europe.  Irish Left With Ukraine calls for support from Ireland.

The Lover of Che and Marx

Samudrala Avinash Rahul Vamshi Krishna
What a long name. Does not sound at all
Like the name of someone
Who belongs to the proletariat
Their names will be Pullaiah and Yellaiah
Yours sounds far too sophisticated
As sophisticated as your accent, almost like a Brit
You say you have bruxism and what not
But your accent lives on, on and on...
Making people give you a second hearing
While at 62 I am searching for my second wind...

And your gonads have not yet started firing
Were you crazy then to be stopping by
Sundarayya Vignana Kendram in Bagh Lingampally
Where that Reddy girl taking courses in statistics
Was getting distracted by you, but you were never by her
And you stuck to your guns, pretty appropriate metaphor
Since Marx and Guevara interested you so much
No skirt or some peculiar shade of lipstick
Could hold your attention for long...

Being a Naxalite appealed to you as your svadharma
Long, long ago, and when I discovered you
You were the more sauve urban naxal, so I blocked you
Lest I the guy interested more in Maharshi than Marx
Be picked up at midnight, because the smokin' gun
Of Marxian literature was plenty on my bookshelf
I who believed that the stream of truth flows
From all sources and not just from some blokes
Doing something somewhere in the Himalayas.

Then, you texted me after a long while, saying
You were now more moderate in your views
Kind of a rare conversion, maybe Rosa Luxemborg
Started appealing to you more than Lenin
And that writer of The Motorcycle Diaries
Though Che never left your bedside and your dreams.

Nowadays, you are more into studying material girls
Rather than dialectical materialism, so tell me
Where in your heart have you created a cemetery
Where you have interred Marx though not Che.

But, my dear chum, or should I call you comrade
Listen to me dyed in the whispers down the centuries
Not only of the topography including the Himalayas
But also including Thames, Seine, and Black Forest
Marx was good as far as what he wanted man to be
But in what man was now in the present
He misread him so badly that his idealism
Was bound to come a cropper, though not before
Bloody revolutions meted out the karma
To all those people who erred in their previous lives
When they took birth long before Marx was born
Including maybe the likes of Alexander Solzhenistyn
For karma is backed by God, not some floundering startup
Ah, it satisfies me so much to end with this imagery
From Capitalism, and make Marx stir in his grave
And rethink his philosophy at least when he is reborn
And become an opium addict to discover newer realities.

Issam Makhoul’s Writings Now on Marxists.org

Palestinian communist leader Issam Makhoul (عصام مخول, 1952-2025) now has his collected works archived in #Hebrew on Marxists.org—articles, speeches, and interviews from five decades of anti-colonial struggle.

[…] My conclusion is that the anti-racist movement in Israel, in which we operate, must struggle without hesitation against both Kahanism and the official racist policy based on Zionist ideology. This does not mean that everyone who defines themselves as a Zionist is a racist. Many Zionists work alongside us in various democratic struggles. The task of principled anti-racists is to expose the contradiction between Zionism and democracy through uncompromising ideological debate.

——

Makhoul served as Hadash MK (1999-2006), chaired the Communist Party of Israel and Emil Touma Institute, survived a 2003 assassination attempt by Jewish extremists, and was the first Knesset member to publicly challenge Israel’s nuclear weapons program.

Two months before his death in December, he called proposals to end the Gaza genocide “continuation of the war of annihilation.”

Hype for the Future 25G: Against Capitalism

"In 2022, when Mike Davis died at age seventy-six, obituary writers rightly praised his radicalism, his anti-imperialism, his warnings of environmental catastrophe, and the sophisticated yet lucid brand of Marxism with which he observed capitalism’s dystopian transformation of Los Angeles and other cities. Many called him “the prophet of doom.”

His energy was enormous. He had twenty books to his name, and some, including City of Quartz, Ecology of Fear, Late Victorian Holocausts, and Planet of Slums, have become classics with an ever-widening influence. But his rough, tough, working-class persona, forged in the gritty, downscale reaches of the Southern California suburban frontier, has often obscured his relationship to the ideas and texts that he encountered, mastered, revised, and deployed in a forty-year outpouring of work whose vitality and breath continues to astound readers. So how did Mike Davis, the San Diego County redneck, become Mike Davis, the transatlantic intellectual, a man whose first book and his last were histories of the working class?"

‘We cannot simply dust off old formulas to repeat; we need take the time necessary to invent a new strategy and new organizational forms adequate to the current conjuncture.’

Michael Hardt calls for a radical reinvention of political strategy in his contribution to Berliner Gazette’s Pluriverse of Peace series:

>There will be people who say, “Hey, you work for a company and that company has the right to expect employees to adhere to what’s good for the company”. That’s true except we’re talking about news organizations that have public obligations and who are obliged to nurture a free press in a democracy. Owners of such press organizations are responsible for safeguarding that free press— and trying to get in the good graces of an autocrat-in-waiting will only result in undermining that free press.

Under capitalism, news organizations have no such "public obligations" and are absolutely not "obliged to nurture a free press in a democracy." They are doing what they are designed to do: Invent Reality (or, if you prefer, Manufacture Consent).

I honestly think that reading Inventing Reality, by Michael Parenti, should be a prerequisite to working in journalism:
