Other articles concern the Israeli/U.S. genocide in Gaza (p. 88) and the neo-McCarthyite witchhunting of academia and public education (p. 88), slanderously equating anti-Zionism with antisemitism (p.78) . This issue appears after a hiatus, affected by the illness of our comrade and co-founder of Class Struggle Education Workers, Marjorie Stamberg, who died in May 2024 after a three-year battle with ovarian cancer (p. 39) . Marjorie had been active in the New Left, was a pioneer of the fight for women’s liberation, a Trotskyist activist and leader, a teacher for the last quarter century, and a revolutionary all her adult life. For a decade she was a delegate in the United Federation of Teachers. We publish here a number of Marjorie’s speeches and writings, including a 2021 Left Forum presentation (p. 7) and 2008 contribution (p. 53) on the need for class-struggle unionism to defeat the capitalist attack on public education. A speech on Rosa Luxemburg (p. 25) highlights the internationalism of the Polish-German revolutionary contrasted to the counterrevolutionary nationalism of Polish Solidarność, for which the UFT served as a conduit for CIA fun
