Has there been a social democratic turn following Joe Biden’s victory? Now, after all, his administration promises not only to tax the rich, but help the poor. Then there is China, the EU and the so-called third world. This is an edited version of the talk Hillel Ticktin gave to the May 27 Online Communist Forum

Robbie Rix reports on the Weekly Worker fighting fund
I must admit that last week I was feeling a little pessimistic about the May fighting fund - with just a week and a half to go to reach our £2,000 target, we were less than halfway there. And it’s really important we get all the way now, with the printing of the
Weekly Worker about to resume and our costs shooting up as a result.
But now I feel rather more optimistic - thanks largely to one fantastic donation from comrade SK for no less than £393! Other donations received via bank transfer were more modest, but still very useful - thanks go to JF (£20) and GB (£15). There were also a number of monthly standing orders that totalled £390 - my thanks to all those comrades too. Finally LC sent us £50 using PayPal, which meant our running total shot up by £868 to £1,802. Brilliant!
