Left organizations in Belgium are using the typically slower European summer to gear up for ManiFiesta, the annual festival of solidarity that many recognize as the launchpad for a new cycle of political activities in the region.
“Right now in Belgium, we’re seeing two major movements of resistance: one against the new government’s policies, and the other in solidarity with Palestine,” says Matilde De Cooman from Viva Salud. “These two are also connected because the new government has reached an agreement that will see big investments in the military, but not in public services.”

This year marks the 80th anniversary of the only time nuclear weapons were used in war: the US bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Historian Ben Becker wrote in Liberation News that the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki “are best understood not as the end of World War II, but as the beginning of a new war and an altogether new historical era.” Becker argues that since those bombings, the US has used its possession of one of the world’s largest nuclear arsenals to threaten other nations. “The nuclear weapon has been, from the very first time it was dropped, the military and political weapon of US imperialism,” wrote Becker.

#PeoplesHistory | Today marks the 80th anniversary the US bombing of the Japanese cities of Hiroshima (August 6) and on Nagasaki (August 9).
The bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was the first and only time that nuclear weapons have been used in war. They caused catastrophic loss of life, widespread devastation, and lasting health impacts on the people in the cities due to radiation exposure.
As the world enters a period of even greater stability, increased military conflict, and accumulation of nuclear weapons, remembering the reality of nuclear war is more important than ever.
