Last Notes

2026-10-28 04:32:01 GMT

Ahead of Saturday’s mass protests in France, the government seemed almost desperate for new violent scenes.
Lumping the organized left and protesters in with black bloc groups, it seeks to justify a broad crackdown on the high schoolers’ movement. https://jacobin.com/2026/10/protest-establishment-crackdown-france-insoumise

2026-10-28 03:47:15 GMT

The latest episode of Ric Burns’s long-running documentary about New York City lionizes former Mayor Michael Bloomberg — despite the fact that he helped turn NYC into a monstrously unequal “luxury city.” https://jacobin.com/2026/10/documentary-new-york-finance-deindustrialization-bloomberg

2026-10-28 03:02:02 GMT

The price of eggs or gas induces a sense of sticker shock for many Americans.
But decommodifying systems of social reproduction like child care and health care remains the most urgent and potentially transformative task of the Left. https://jacobin.com/2026/10/affordability-consumption-social-reproduction-policy

2026-10-28 02:16:01 GMT

Alberta’s referendum is over, but conservative factional fighting remains, while working families’ concerns go unmet.
Nothing will change without a revival of working-class politics. https://jacobin.com/2026/10/alberta-smith-referendum-separatists-affordability

2026-10-28 01:33:01 GMT

Ecuadoran President Daniel Noboa’s far-right government jailed opposition leader Luisa González on Thursday, just weeks before local elections and a year after she grilled him over the use of his family’s banana shipments for cocaine trafficking. https://jacobin.com/2026/10/ecuador-noboa-lawfare-repression-luisa-gonzalez

2026-10-28 00:46:02 GMT

With its stripped-down aesthetics, swift storytelling, and striking shades of black and white, “Fatherland” tells the story of an entire era in roughly an hour.
It achieves an almost mythical stature, summoning an inheritance that extends from the ancient Greeks to the Germans.https://jacobin.com/2026/10/film-fatherland-pawlikowski-thomas-mann

2026-10-28 00:03:02 GMT

France’s prime minister has touted shutting down social media in order to quell protests.
Even without Marine Le Pen yet in power, the establishment is seeking authoritarian means to crack down on protests. https://jacobin.com/2026/10/protest-establishment-crackdown-france-insoumise

2026-10-27 23:17:03 GMT

The heroes in the latest episodes of Ric Burns’s New York are enlightened bankers who ably guided the city’s evolution into the world’s financial capital.
The story neglects the damaging effects of this transformation on working-class New Yorkers: https://jacobin.com/2026/10/documentary-new-york-finance-deindustrialization-bloomberg

RT: @npub1vp2…2wf0 Today is the first Israeli election since October 7, 2023, but it isn’t a democratic election.
Because Israel isn’t a democracy.

While progressive taxation is essential, sustainable social programs require Americans of all income brackets to pay higher taxes — which will be more than offset by the money households save through these universal programs like Medicare for All: https://jacobin.com/2026/10/affordability-consumption-social-reproduction-policy

Thwarted separatists are turning on Alberta’s conservative leaders, deepening political turmoil in the province while health care, affordability, and education remain neglected: https://jacobin.com/2026/10/alberta-smith-referendum-separatists-affordability

The arrest of Ecuadoran opposition leader @LuisaGonzalezEc marks a shocking escalation in far-right President Daniel Noboa’s use of the courts to persecute opponents: https://jacobin.com/2026/10/ecuador-noboa-lawfare-repression-luisa-gonzalez

2026-10-27 19:33:05 GMT

The latest installments in Ric Burns’s documentary “New York” look at Gotham’s recent decades through rose-colored glasses.
They ignore the political choices that eroded the city’s industrial base and reduced democratic influence on the economy. https://jacobin.com/2026/10/documentary-new-york-finance-deindustrialization-bloomberg

2026-10-27 18:42:14 GMT

The principal sources of the affordability crisis are less consumer goods and more child care, health care, and education.
The Left’s response to that crisis should focus on universal, solidaristic, and visible social programs. https://jacobin.com/2026/10/affordability-consumption-social-reproduction-policy

2026-10-27 18:23:11 GMT

Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s party isn’t orchestrating the violence in France’s mass protests.
But media are maliciously leveling this accusation as part of moves to build a broad front of establishment and far-right forces against it: https://jacobin.com/2026/10/protest-establishment-crackdown-france-insoumise

2026-10-27 17:01:56 GMT

Alberta’s sovereignty push has failed, but the province’s Conservative infighting continues, and working people are paying the price.
The government has spent its energy pursuing partisan advantage while neglecting Albertans’ everyday concerns. https://jacobin.com/2026/10/alberta-smith-referendum-separatists-affordability

2026-10-27 16:16:15 GMT

After barring the opposition party from November’s elections, the far-right government of Daniel Noboa has arrested its leader, Luisa González, blurring the line between democracy and dictatorship. https://jacobin.com/2026/10/ecuador-noboa-lawfare-repression-luisa-gonzalez

In the new film “Fatherland,” Thomas Mann is a standard-bearer for a tradition of liberal humanism that, though in many ways noble, proves completely incapable of fending off the most terrible evils. https://jacobin.com/2026/10/film-fatherland-pawlikowski-thomas-mann

Just as it has throughout Latin America, the Trump administration was openly working to defeat a left-wing government in Brazil and replace it with a far-right one.
With Lula’s victory, Trump failed. https://jacobin.com/2026/10/lula-brazil-election-trump-interference

2026-10-27 05:31:04 GMT

From France to India, young people have led the current wave of protests.
Rather than deny the importance of generational politics, we can see it as a way that people make sense of their life chances and of the opportunities they are denied. https://jacobin.com/2026/10/gen-z-protests-socialism-neoliberalism

2026-10-27 05:01:02 GMT

The result of Alberta’s referendum was widely expected: three-quarters chose to stay in Canada.
The referendum’s other questions, and the political tensions they exposed, point to deeper struggles — over immigration and the country’s resource economy. https://jacobin.com/2026/10/alberta-independence-ucp-smith-oil

2026-10-27 04:02:02 GMT

Israel’s ethnic cleansing of southern Lebanon and Gaza has reached a scale unseen since the Nakba.
The history of Israel’s offensives shows how depopulation is soon followed by annexation. https://jacobin.com/2026/10/israel-nakba-gaza-lebanon-ethnic-cleansing

2026-10-27 03:31:09 GMT

In October 1956, a protest movement in Poland brought a reform-minded communist leadership to power.
Unlike Hungary, Poland managed to avoid Soviet intervention, but the opportunity to democratize its political and economic structures was missed. https://jacobin.com/2026/10/poland-socialism-strikes-reform-soviets

2026-10-27 03:02:09 GMT

After meddling in elections across Latin America in favor of the far right, Donald Trump intended Brazil to be the next domino to fall.
Instead, Lula handed Trump a resounding defeat. https://jacobin.com/2026/10/lula-brazil-election-trump-interferencea

2026-10-27 02:31:08 GMT

The win for the Student List in Serbia’s election again showed the power of youth mobilization.

2026-10-27 00:32:01 GMT

The events of October 1956 in Poland marked the moment when Polish socialism found its own voice, resonating with broad layers of society.
However, that moment proved short-lived, as Poland’s new leaders squandered the opportunity to reform the system. https://jacobin.com/2026/10/poland-socialism-strikes-reform-soviets

Retrospectives on events in Eastern Europe during 1956 usually focus on the Soviet invasion of Hungary.
