“Capital can no longer maintain its profitability by exploiting labor alone. This much has been clear for some time.

Anyone saluting the courage of Russian media worker Marina Ovsyannikova, who has been arrested following her on-air anti-war protest, should join the campaign to stop the extradition of Julian Assange.
