World to Win - International Socialist Alternative

In this special episode of World to Win we discuss the brutal and murderous onslaught on Gaza and the war-crisis in Israel-Palestine. Darragh interviewed Bayan, Tuvaal and Yasha of Socialist Struggle Movement (ISA in Israel-Palestine) on monday 6 november. For over a month the world has looked on in horror at the barbaric actions of the Israeli state and the prospect of a regional war inflaming the middle east. Already millions have taken to the street across the globe in solidarity with the Palestinian masses calling for an end to the bloodshed. What will happen next? What way out of this hell? What can you do? The panelists try to answer all of these questions. Contact us via internationalsocialist.net for more info or if you want to get involved.

Globally we’ve seen a ramping up of attacks on trans lives but we also see instances of a fightback and a deep radicalization amongst queer youth who are searching for the best means to resist the onslaught. Halfway through Pride month it's clear: around the world a new generation of LGBTQIA people are reclaiming this day as one of militant struggle. In this episode of World to Win we discuss the situation facing trans people today, how the anti-trans backlash has its roots in the crisis of capitalism, and what type of movement and political programme are necessary to win genuine liberation. Toya is joined by Ollie, organizer of Trans and Intersex Pride Dublin and member of the Socialist Party (ISA in Ireland) and Greyson, who works on the editorial team of Socialist Alternative (ISA in the US).
