    Brazil Divided

    During his lifetime, the Brazilian footballer Pele came to stand as an international symbol of Brazil: a nation of sport and glamour. Yet at his death at the end of December, coming just days before the inauguration of the third presidency of Lula, and a little over a week before thousands of Bolsonaro supporters stormed the parliament building in Brasília, Brazil stands as a nation deeply divided, Oliver Basciano writes.

    No Hollywood Ending for the Green New Deal

    A new documentary, To the End, credits the political activists behind the Green New Deal movement for Biden’s environmental policies. Yet, as Matt Huber writes, the film fails to acknowledge that the inability of green activists to build a mass base was also the cause of the Inflation Reduction Act's limitations.

    Thirteen theses and some comments on politics today

    The current conjuncture demands rigorous analysis if we are to understand the political moment and develop a strategy to respond to it. Alain Badiou undertakes this task, offering thirteen theses on global politics today and suggesting an organizing strategy for the Left given those conditions.

    Tom Nairn: The Twilight of the British State

    Tom Nairn, who died on Saturday morning, 21st January 2023, made his name with a series of coruscating essays on the British state published in New Left Review and collected in the 1977 book The Break-Up of Britain.  Here, we republish Tom Nairn's classic account of the nature, and the twilight, of the British state.
