IMT comrades in Italy send us this exciting report of a nationwide strike of Amazon workers on March 22. These workers also sent a message of solidarity to the brothers and sisters in Bessemer, Alabama.
A second wave of COVID-19 is ravaging Europe. This was not inevitable, but a deadly consequence of governments prioritizing the wealth of the capitalists over the health of the population.
The Italian left wrecked itself on the rocks of “lesser evilism” starting in the 1970s. With the US 2020 election underway and huge pressure on the left to vote for Biden, we can draw important lessons from this experience.

Rather than inform the public and protect public health, the Italian government enacted inefficient measures, caused panic, and suppressed the labor movement.
