Mahmoud Khalil’s Letter From an ICE Detention Center
I was born in a Palestinian refugee camp in Syria to a family that has been displaced from their land since the 1948 Nakba. I spent my youth in proximity to yet distant from my homeland. But being Palestinian is an experience that transcends borders. I see in my circumstances similarities to Israel’s use of administrative detention — imprisonment without trial or charge — to strip Palestinians of their rights. I think of our friend Omar Khatib, who was incarcerated without charge or trial by Israel as he returned home from travel. I think of Gaza hospital director and pediatrician Dr Hussam Abu Safiya, who was taken captive by the Israeli military on December 27 and remains in an Israeli torture camp today. For Palestinians, imprisonment without due process is commonplace.

15 March: the biggest protest in the history of Serbia!
After big gatherings in February at Autokomanda, a key traffic interchange in Belgrade, and on the Freedom Bridge in Novi Sad, students continued with new gatherings in Kragujevac and Niš, in preparation for Saturday's protest. Although the students announced that Saturday’s rally would not be the last, many imagined that it would be the day when the regime of Aleksandar Vučić fell. Even the day before the big protest, pictures and videos circulated on social media of huge columns of cars waiting at highway toll booths on the road to Belgrade. Because a large gathering was anticipated, many decided to come to Belgrade a day earlier so as not to have trouble with traffic on the day of the protest. From all over Serbia, students and activists organised marches to the capital. From village to village, city to city, they were welcomed as heroes and supported by local residents. There was a special welcome when they arrived in Belgrade, where the students had prepared thousands of mattresses to accommodate their comrades from all over Serbia.

Rosa Luxemburg: A question of tactics
While the ministerial participation of Millerand thus conforms to opportunist theory it is no less in accordance with opportunist practice. Given that the obtaining of immediate and tangible gains, no matter by what means, is the main orientation of this practice, the entry of a socialist into a bourgeois government must appear to the “practical politicians” as an inestimable success. What will a socialist minister not be able to achieve in terms of little improvements, palliatives and social patching-up! The question is posed differently if, on the contrary, you start from the point of view that you can only consider introducing socialism after the ruin of the capitalist order and that at present socialist activity boils down to the objective and subjective preparation of this moment by means of the class struggle. Certainly, it is clear that Social-Democracy, if it wants to act effectively, must occupy all the positions in the present State that are accessible, and gain territory everywhere. But on one condition: that these positions must allow the class struggle, the struggle against the bourgeoisie and its State, to be waged.
