The racially mixed , smartly dressed browsers of progressive books in this 1938 photograph seem to be living out the CPUSA slogan of that time, "Communism is Twentieth Century Americanism"; note the "Harvard Communist" in the lower right hand quarter of the picture, the nearby collection box for aid for Spain, and the photograph of volunteers who were fighting for the Spanish Republican cause.

The following year's cynically concluded Hitler-Stalin pact and the anticommunism of the postwar decades dealt the US left blows from which it has never fully recovered.

I wonder about the various fates of the individuals pictured here.

PFLP Calls for Worldwide Besieging of Elbit Systems

Elbit Systems is a partner in killing and burning children in Gaza; the time has come to besiege it, shut it down, and prosecute its leaders The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine calls on the free people of the world—individuals, organizations, and solidarity movements—to take urgent action to besiege Elbit Systems, which is directly involved in the zionist war of genocide against our people in the Gaza Strip, after its proven participation in the recent massacres that targeted secure tents and burned children and displaced persons. The “israeli” army’s use of the “SkyStriker” suicide drone—manufactured by Elbit Systems—to carry out crimes that deliberately targeted civilians in cold blood underscores the depth of the collusion between the zionist military establishment and global arms corporations. Countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, and others also bear full responsibility for these crimes, as they are partners in Elbit Systems, one of the occupation’s most important arms suppliers, particularly in its genocidal war against our people. The Front urges the free people of the world to lay siege to Elbit Systems’ facilities worldwide, organize protests in front of its branches and offices, and pressure complicit Western and other governments to close the company and sever all ties with it. We also call on the International Criminal Court to pursue the company’s leaders as war criminals, since they are partners of the occupation in perpetrating these crimes.

The "Republican Front" “worked” in its own terms in France on 7 July. But it has enabled the RN to pose as the only alternative to the whole of "established politics". The RN is willing to wait until the next elections, probably in 2027, to reap the gains https://www.workersliberty.org/story/2024-07-08/good-moment-fraught-future

A good moment, but a fraught future

"To see the dejection of the leaders of the Rassemblement National was a good moment for all those who did not want to 'try out' the far right in government", declared France's Nouveau Parti Anticapitaliste (Révolutionnaires) (NPA(R)) after the second round of France's legislative elections, on 7 July. "The strategy of 'Republican withdrawal' adopted by parties present in the second round worked".
