Zabalaza for Socialism (ZASO) Statement on COP 30

ZASO12 November 2025

As COP 30 approaches, one truth is undeniable: capitalism has driven the planet to the edge of ecological collapse. The United Nations Environment Programme warns we are heading toward 2.8°C of warming by the end of the century — a catastrophe that will devastate working-class and rural communities across the Global South.

COP 30 IN BELEM DO PARA, BRAZIL – Adaptation or Prevention?

Michael Löwy12 November 2025

1. As we know, COP 30, the United Nations Climate Change Conference, will be held this year in November in Belém do Pará. It inspires hope, as it will be held in a country governed by the left, under the aegis of President Lula. But it must be noted that the planet’s biggest polluter, the United States, will be absent, as Donald Trump – a fanatical climate change denier – has withdrawn his country from this international forum

BRICS and Israel: Who’s Arming the Genocide?Who is Cutting Ties?

Dr. Karim Bettache11 November 2025

We are witnessing something unprecedented in human history—not merely another genocide, but the complete paralysis of global civilization in the face of mass slaughter.

Yet not a single country—neither the imperial powers nor their supposed opposition—has managed to stop contributing to the killing machine grinding through Gaza.

From Rage Against the Machine’s Hall of Fame speech to Bob Vylan, Hyphen and Mudrat, a new grammar of protest is traveling the globe. South Africa—where struggle soundtracks have long carried politics—should listen for its beat again. South Africa knows the sound of refusal. It’s in the toyi-toyi, the chant, the ululation at the picket […]

World Food or World Hunger Day (16 October)

Mercia Andrews29 October 2025

16 October is officially known as World Food Day because it marks the anniversary of the founding of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) in 1945. Each year, countries around the world observe this day to talk about food security and the right to food. The FAO consistently reminds governments that the Right to Food is a universal human right, not a privilege. Yet, despite these yearly reminders, growing numbers of poor and working-class people continue to go hungry, facing the indignity of begging for food, joining soup kitchens, or going without entirely.

ROAPE22 October 2025

Burkina Faso’s streets and classrooms have long been laboratories of revolt. From the 1916 Bani-Volta anti-colonial war to the 2014 uprising that toppled Blaise Compaoré, Burkinabè politics pulse between civic defiance and military power.

The Death of the Nobel Peace Prize

Atilio Boron21 October 2025

The awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to Maria Corina Machado is the culmination of a long process of moral and political decay that has irreparably damaged the prize.

Don’t Call It a Gen-Z Revolution

William Shoki20 October 2025

Across continents, a familiar figure has returned to the streets. In Nepal, young protesters brought down the government after years of corruption and stagnation. In Morocco, the leaderless collective “Gen Z 212” filled city squares with chants against state extravagance and everyday neglect. In Madagascar, students and unemployed workers facing water shortages and rolling blackouts forced the president to dissolve his cabinet. The world’s media quickly offered a tidy headline: Gen Z is rising.
