The radicalism of the youth of the 1960 was not "drug inspired." It was a response to Vietnam, the struggle for civil rights, and, even more fundamentally, the fresh and not-forgotten horrors of the two World Wars. The 1917 October Revolution had not disappeared from memory, capitalism and anti-communism were in bad odor, Stalinism was increasingly discredited, and there was a revival of interest in Trotsky, whose extraordinary books were recognized as political and literary masterworks. This resurgence was suppressed by the reactionary political climate of the Reagan-Thatcher years to which Mr. Luce was exposed, to his own misfortune, during his intellectually formative years. But Mr. Luce correctly detects a process of radicalization among the world's youth. The question is, at what point will this radicalization break beyond the bounds of the media-vetted pseudo-leftism of people like Sanders and Mamdani and reestablish contact with the the genuine Marxian-socialist political perspective and culture that was exemplified in the October Revolution and figures like Lenin, Trotsky and Luxemburg. This break must and will occur, and the rediscovery of Trotsky's extraordinary political legacy and writings will be a critical element of the reemergence of Marxism as a mass socialist movement based on the working class. The World Socialist Web Site has posted today a preface I have written to a new edition of Trotsky's autobiography, My Life. It can be accessed at wsws.org/en/articles/2026/06…
"There's nothing in their politics nearly as drug-inspired as the late 1960s radicalism of their grandparents. It's not hippie to want affordable housing or to fear AI’s impact on your earnings. Nor is it Stalinist to want universal health insurance." My column as.ft.com/r/efa1d36d-d16f-43…

Piker reminds one of Trotsky's description of Kerensky: "He had no theoretical preparation, no political schooling, no ability to think, no political will." He has "that kind of eloquence which operates neither upon mind or will, but upon the nerves." wsws.org/en/articles/2026/05…

This letter, signed “A. Lincoln”, appeared in my email this morning. Despite its unexplained origin, the signature demands that attention be given to the letter; and, for this reason, it is being made available to readers of the WSWS. wsws.org/en/articles/2026/05…

Fast 85 Jahre nach dem #Nazi-Überfall auf die Sowjetunion treibt Berlin erneut eine militärische Offensive gegen #Russland voran. Der Besuch von Verteidigungsminister #Pistorius in Kiew markiert eine neue Stufe der deutsch-ukrainischen Rüstungsintegration. wsws.org/de/articles/2026/05…

85 Jahre nach dem Überfall des NS-Regimes auf die Sowjetunion befindet sich Deutschland de facto erneut im Krieg gegen #Russland. Arbeiter & Jugendliche müssen sich dieser Realität stellen und eine internationale sozialistische Antikriegsbewegung aufbauen. wsws.org/de/articles/2026/04…

Am Dienstag wurde der ukrainische Präsident #Selenskyj mit militärischen Ehren vor dem Kanzleramt in Berlin empfangen. Die martialische Kulisse mit mehreren Dutzend uniformierten und bewaffneten Soldaten unterstrich den Charakter des Besuchs. @JSternWSWS wsws.org/de/articles/2026/04…
