New Future

Members of Left Voice’s sister site in Brazil reflect on Macklemore’s use of art in solidarity with Palestine and how it stands out in a culture industry that has been silent in the face of genocide.

The March 2025 issue of Left Voice magazine features an interview with Marxist economist Michael Roberts, a re-examination of Negri and Hardt’s Empire, and a look into the political origins of the Left Opposition against Stalin.

The legacy of Lenin was not the Soviet state bureaucracy and bloody persecution embodied by Stalin. It was the revolutionary spirit that lived on in the Left Opposition led by Trotsky.

Although Hardt and Negri’s book Empire was published over two decades ago, it raises questions about imperialism and strategy that are more urgent today than ever.

Michael Roberts reflects on Marx’s legacy for us today, what the economy is doing now — and where it might be heading.

In the second installment of this two-part series, leading left intellectuals and political activists in the United States offer their perspective on Trump’s offensive against the rights of the working class and oppressed, breaking from the Democratic Party, and the role of socialists in this moment.

President Trump is trying to regain control of the Panama Canal to combat China's presence there. This will only serve to entrench imperialist control in the region further, and must be fought with working-class internationalism.

Trump and DOGE’s attempts to gut the federal workforce and public sectors have implications for the entire working class. An effective fight back will have to challenge labor law, unite with social movements, and have no illusions in the courts or the Democrats.

Women’s History Month is a great time to catch up on some lesser-known movies by women filmmakers. As a follow-up to these 11 films by women directors, here are four more movies directed by women to check out.

The working class must stand in solidarity with the immigrants risking their lives across the world, and fight the anti-immigrant offensive. No one is illegal, and the workers' struggle has no borders.

A growing number of Jewish people stand for Palestinian liberation. Neither Khalil’s detainment, nor broader assaults on Palestine solidarity activists or continued attacks on Palestine, are protecting Jews.

Flouting a court order, the Trump administration has now invoked a wartime law to deport Venezuelan immigrants to a maximum-security prison in a third country, where they are subjected to physical and psychological abuse and denied due process.

Left Voice republishes the first statement by Palestinian and student activist Mahmoud Khalil since his abduction by the Department of Homeland Security. As the Trump administration goes on the offensive against the pro-Palestine movement and immigrants with the help of universities, we must defend our right to protest against the attacks of the Far Right.

We republish a statement written by Student Workers of Columbia union president, Grant Miner in response to his expulsion and firing from Columbia University.
