1 April 2021
The
World Socialist Web Site is publishing today in Chinese “800,000 COVID-19 deaths in Europe: capitalism, social murder and the case for socialism.”
Written by Alex Lantier and originally published on February 25 in English, the article reviews how the political representatives of the financial elite have condemned hundreds of thousands to death from COVID-19. Lantier powerfully explains why the fight against the pandemic requires the political mobilization of the working class against capitalism, based on a socialist and international program.

Socialist Equality Party launches campaign for 2021 German federal election
“Workers need their own party!”
The Sozialistische Gleichheitspartei (Socialist Equality Party, SGP) began its campaign for the 2021 German federal elections in September with a strong launch meeting Sunday, which was followed by hundreds of workers and young people online. SGP candidates and several international guest speakers outlined the extent of the capitalist crisis and presented a socialist answer.
The nine speeches made clear that the ruling elite has declared war on the working class around the world. They have sacrificed hundreds of thousands of lives to protect their profits, are preparing for large-scale warfare, and are resorting to authoritarian and ultimately fascist methods to impose their policies.
