Today, Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced his administration’s “Block by Block” plan, which aims to build 200,000 affordable housing units and preserve or rent stabilize another 200,000 existing units.

The mayor’s “Fix the City” campaign will also target negligent landlords and, in the most severe cases, transfer their ownership to “better stewards,” including to unionized tenants.

“This plan meets the housing crisis with the urgency it demands,” Mamdani said.

“We are willing to resolve differences through peaceful means, through negotiation, provided there is respect for sovereignty and political independence. What is not negotiable is Cuba’s political system.” — Cuban Ambassador to Belgium and the European Union Juan Antonio Fernández Palacios

Few people think of unions or the plight of the working class when they think of Memorial Day. But they should.

On that day 89 years ago, the Chicago Police Department shot and killed at least 10 men and wounded countless more in the Memorial Day Massacre.

In June 1918, Eugene Debs gave a speech that would land him in prison. Speaking in Canton, Ohio, the Socialist Party leader denounced President Woodrow Wilson and the Great War he had led the US into.

For Debs, the mass slaughter that had raged across Europe for four bloody years was a conflict waged in the interests of capitalists, but fought by workers. In each country it was the rich who had declared war and stood to profit from it; but it was the poor who were sent to fight and die by the millions.

This, Debs told his audience, was how it had always been, as long as armies had been sent to battle one another in the name of king or country. “Wars throughout history have been waged for conquest and plunder,” he said. “The master class has always declared the wars; the subject class has always fought the battles. The master class has had all to gain and nothing to lose, while the subject class has had nothing to gain and all to lose — especially their lives.”

Debs’s message to workers was a simple one: their enemy was not the people of Germany, the working-class soldiers they were being shipped off to murder; it was the rulers, on both sides, who ordered the troops into battle. It was the capitalists and their representatives in the American and German governments, whose wealth and power gave them control over the fates of millions.

Debs’s speech was too much for authorities in the United States — they arrested him under a new law restricting free speech, the 1917 Espionage Act, and sentenced him to ten years in jail. Remarkably, in the 1920 election, Debs ran for president on the Socialist ticket while sitting in an Atlanta federal penitentiary, and still managed to win almost a million votes.

In the example of Debs, we can see the core ideas that have underpinned the socialist movement’s approach to the question of war.
