Support the Fight for Socialism in 2026: Donate to the WSWS New Year Fund!
I am appealing to you today to make as large a donation as you can to the World Socialist Web Site New Year Fund.
The first weeks of 2026 are a turning point in history. In Minneapolis, the power of the federal government is being deployed against the people. An ICE agent executed Renee Nicole Good at point-blank range—and the Trump administration has justified it. The city is under para-military occupation. Trump has threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act and has put the military on alert for deployment. Speaking to the billionaire oligarchs assembled in Davos, Trump declared that “sometimes you need a dictator.” The violent repression in Minneapolis is the implementation of Trump’s plan to overthrow the Bill of Rights.
What is happening in Minneapolis and other American cities is the domestic face of a government waging war on multiple fronts. On January 3, the administration launched an unprovoked invasion of Venezuela, killing civilians and abducting President Nicolás Maduro. Days later came threats to bomb Iran and reassertions of intent to annex Greenland by force.
The violence abroad and repression at home flow from the same source, the crisis of American and world capitalism, and the staggering level of social inequality that prevails in this country and internationally. This concentration of wealth in the hands of an oligarchy produces, inevitably, war abroad and dictatorship at home.
The World Socialist Web Site is unequaled in the depth and breadth of its coverage and analysis of events, which is rooted in Marxist theory and enriched by the vast experience of revolutionary struggles that span more than a century.
But the World Socialist Web Site requires resources. Your donation goes directly toward daily coverage of critical events, socialist educational content which is translated into multiple languages, and which plays an indispensable role in training a new generation of fighters for socialism.
While we need your financial support, we also urge you to become directly involved. Join this fight. Take a stand against war, dictatorship and inequality.
—David North, Chairperson of the WSWS International Editorial Board

The WSWS record on the COVID-19 pandemic
“I read and support the World Socialist Web Site daily because it is the only principled socialist publication that provides a scientific analysis, assessment and plan on what must be done to end the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. As a registered nurse I rely on good science to protect myself, my patients, and family members from infectious diseases - something the CDC can no longer provide.”
The perspective of the WSWS is unequalled
“Humanity is headed for the brink and only the working class can divert the train to a safe track. The question of socialism or barbarism comes down to leadership and the perspective of the WSWS is unequalled. ‘A revolution will sweep the Earth clean of the oligarchs, speculators and tyrants.’”
A voice that refuses to compromise in the fight for socialism
“I donate to the WSWS because of the hard work of the writers who challenge capitalism & produce in depth analyses of the issues facing workers today. Supporting them is supporting a voice that refuses to compromise in the fight for socialism.”
News for those who want to change the world
“The WSWS is news for those who want to change the world. I've read the WSWS for 25 years because its writers patiently explain current events, informed by deep historical knowledge and appreciation for art and science, from the perspective of the international working class. If you have to work to survive, the WSWS is your people telling your story.”
Workers need to understand their history
“In my mind, the writers of the WSWS are legends. They aren’t afraid to ‘get their hands dirty’ and talk to workers and learn about their situation. At the same time, workers need to understand their history and lessons from the past, which the WSWS also provides, as does reading Marx and Trotsky.”
The only source of Marxism and objective clarification of the crisis facing capitalism
“I read and support wsws.org for informed analyses and reviews covering all aspects of society, political, science and arts. Indeed it is the only source of Marxism and objective clarification of the crisis facing capitalism. The SEP is the only party capable of leading the immense power of the international working class to abolish capitalism and war and clear the way for socialism. David North’s recent speech in Australia is an inspiration for workers and youth to advance with confidence to build the revolutionary party!”
The WSWS represents workers
“I support the WSWS because it represents and keeps workers, especially autoworkers, informed of what's going on and of what the manufacturers do not want workers to know about. The WSWS exposes the companies and corporate media and puts them on the spot. The information put out by the WSWS on the COVID-19 pandemic is a prime example of this.”
An organization dedicated to the working class
“As a performing musician I was actively involved in representing my orchestra colleagues in contract negotiations. After 42 years on the job this is no longer the case. I now rely on a fixed retirement income which is under constant attack by government officials eager to please the corporate elite at the expense of the working class. Finding an organization that is dedicated to helping the working class is absolutely necessary, and THAT is why I support the World Socialist Web Site.”
A program to build the leadership of the working class
“The WSWS provides genuine journalism, including about the class struggle and experiences of the working class. On top of that, there is political, economic and philosophical theory, education and history. Then, there is guidance, strategy and a program to build the leadership of the working class to win the battle for socialism. It’s an honor to help with donations.”
Vital for raising consciousness
“I donate to the WSWS because the website provides important political analysis of world events on a daily basis. This analysis is vital for raising the political consciousness of the working class and organizing it for the struggle against capitalism.”
