Nekrologer / Obituaries etc:
Daniel Bensaïd: Aktivist og intellektuel. Af Francois Sabado (Socialistisk Information, 14. januar 2010). “Daniel Bensaïd døde tirsdag den 12. januar. Han var en aktivist, en intellektuel, en kammerat, en ven.”
Daniel Bensaïd was one of Marxism’s great renovators. By Darren Roso (Jacobin, February 24, 2024). “Daniel Bensaïd rejected the idea of historical inevitability, seeing history as a series of crossroads, not a single path. For Bensaïd, class struggle will remain central as long as capitalism exists, but the outcome is always unpredictable.”
Daniel Bensaïd breathed new life into Marxism for the 21st century. By Darren Roso (Jacobin, July 7, 2023). “The French Marxist thinker Daniel Bensaïd grappled with the history of socialist defeats to supply us with a road map for the present. The result was a brilliant reformulation of Marxism that can guide today’s left-wing movements in their struggles.”
Daniel Bensaïd and the broken time of politics. By Alex Callinicos (International Viewpoint, 21 April 2022). “One of Bensaïd’s many great virtues was that he was a highly unorthodox Marxist. This was reflected in his vast and unusual range of intellectual reference, but also in the diversity of topics about which he wrote.”
Daniel Bensaïd and “the last generation of October” (Marxist Left Review, Issue 12, Winter 2016). “Darren Roso on the political activity and theoretical concerns of an important figure on the French far left from the mid-1960s until his death in January 2010.”
The Resolute Subject: Daniel Bensaïd, voluntarism and strategy. By Doug Enaa Greene (Links: International Journal of Socialist Renewal, April 4, 2016). “Yet there remained a stubborn few who refused to accept that capitalism was the sole vision on the horizon, but maintained a stubborn fidelity to Marxism and revolution. One of these was the French Trotskyist, Daniel Bensaïd …”
A critical engagement with the young Bensaïd. By Jonas Liston (RS21: Revolutionary Socialism in the 21st Century, November 18, 2014). “By looking at Bensaïd, as many others are at the moment, I hope to be a part of recovering a small, but lost part of the puzzle that is our movement’s history.”
Daniel Bensaïd and the broken time of politics. By Alex Callinicos (International Socialism, Issue 135, Summer 2012, p.157-66). “Bensaïd was thus an open but very tough-minded Marxist.”
The Red Hussar: Daniel Bensaïd, 1946-2010. By Sebastian Budgen (International Socialism, Issue 127, Summer 2010, p.143-166). “What follows is a first attempt, necessarily inadequate and provisional, to sketch some elements of Daniel Bensaïd’s life and work for a readership [about] his tumultuous story and rich legacy.”
Daniel Bensaïd: The power of indignation. By Michael Löwy (Against the Current, Issue 145, March-April 2010). “With his irreverence, his humor, his generosity, his imagination, he was a rare example of a militant intellectual, in the meaning of these words.”
Daniel Bensaïd 1946–2010. By Alex Callinicos (Socialist Worker, Issue 2185, 23 January 2010). “In recent years Daniel was particularly concerned to educate a new generation of activists in the Marxist tradition.”
Daniel Bensaïd obituary. By Tariq Ali (The Guardian, 14 January 2010). “He was France’s leading Marxist public intellectual, much in demand on talkshows and writing essays and reviews in Le Monde and Libération.”
An embodiment of our tradition. By Gilbert Achcar (SocialistWorker.org, January 13, 2010). “Ever since he contracted AIDS, Bensaïd set out to write and publish at an impressive speed: close to 20 books of various sizes and on various topics in 15 years …”
Daniel Bensaïd, a revolutionary for our times. By Josep María Antentas (International Viewpoint, Issue 420, January 2010). “In Daniel we have lost one of the most prominent figures of the European anti-capitalist left.”
Daniel Bensaïd: militant, intellectual, friend. By François Sabado (International Viewpoint, Issue 420, January 2010). “The quality of Daniel’s intelligence was to combine theory and practice, intuition and political understanding, ideas and organisation.”
Daniel Bensaïd dies. By Martin Thomas (Solidarity, 3/165, 7 January 2010). “Bensaid lived and died a revolutionary; and one capable of learning from mistakes and explaining the lessons in fine and clear prose.”

Ved en flyulykke nær den russiske by Smolensk omkommer (sammen med bl.a. den polske præsident) den tidligere kranfører Anna Walentynowics, fra Lenin-skibsværftet i Gdansk, hvis fyring fra værftet udløste de polske strejker fra august 1980, der bl.a. førte til dannelsen af fagbevægelsen Solidarnosc (Solidaritet).

Saturday Night And Sunday Morning (1960) (YouTube.com; 2:25 min.)
Vred stemme er nu tavs. Af Ole Wugge Christiansen (Modkraft.dk/Kontradoxa, 26. april 2010). “Sillitoe var en de britiske forfattere, der brød igennem i 1950’erne i bølgen af såkaldte »vrede unge mænd«, der nøgternt og illusionsløst skildrede frustrationer og magtesløshed i engelske arbejderklassemiljøer under efterkrigstidens økonomiske boom.”
Long distance running: Alan Sillitoe (1928-2010) (Socialist Review, Issue 348, June 2010). “The novels of Alan Sillitoe rejoice in working class defiance. John Newsinger writes about a brilliant writer with a sad political trajectory.”

Pentagon Papers whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg:
“I was the Bradley Manning of my day. In 1971 I too faced life (115 years) in prison for exposing classified government lies and crimes. President Obama says ‘the Ellsberg material was classified on a different basis’. True. The Pentagon Papers were not Secret like the Wikileaks revelations, they were all marked Top Secret ‘Sensitive’.
Ultimately all charges in my case were dropped because of criminal governmental misconduct toward me during my proceedings. Exactly the same outcome should occur now, in light of the criminal conditions of Manning’s confinement.”

Verdenshistoriens største militære lækage, da 391.832 hemmelige amerikanske militærrapporter blev lagt ud på nettet af organisationen Wikileaks.org (grundlagt af australieren Julian Assange).
Også den danske regering inddrages, især for at dække over udlevering af tilfangetagne irakere til irakiske myndigheders behandling, inkl. tortur og død.

Løsladelsen af Julian Assange er godt for pressefriheden. Men lad os ikke helgenkåre manden. Af Morten Hammeken (Solidaritet.dk, 28. juni 2024). “Julian Assange er blevet løsladt efter fem år i fængsel. Det er en vigtig sejr for pressefriheden og ytringsfriheden. Men vi må ikke glemme Assanges mildest talt tvivlsomme politiske karakter.”
Wallraff: «Assange er blitt en syndebukk». Av Arn Ruth (Ny Tid, 1. marts 2021, s.14-15). “Det er ubegripelig at en undergraving av rettssikkerheten i et slikt omfang kan finne sted i et demokrati som Sverige, sier Günter Wallraff i samtale med NY TID om Julian Assange-saken. Og legger til: Dødsdommen er så godt som avsagt.”
Øjenvidne til Julian Assanges lidelser (Solidaritet.dk, 14. oktober 2020). “John Pilger har bevidnet Julian Assange’s udleveringsretssag fra de offentlige sæder i det historiske Old Bailey i London. Han har i den forbindelse talt med Timothy Erik Ström fra australske Arena om det, han kalder ‘skamfuldt og skandaløs’.”

A newly free Julian Assange speaks. By Chip Gibbons (Jacobin, October 3, 2024). “After over half a decade of imprisonment and constant government harassment, Julian Assange is free and speaking out for freedom of speech and human rights. His freedom is a relief, but the state of protections for journalists like him is far from strong.”
Julian Assange is free, but justice has not been served. By Chip Gibbons (Jacobin, June 27, 2024). “After a nearly 15-year ordeal, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is free. It’s a victory worth celebrating. But the message has been sent: when it comes to exposing the wrongdoing of powerful governments and corporations, no good deed goes unpunished.”
Free at last! (Weekly Worker, Issue 1497, 27 June 2024). “He exposed US war crimes, dissed the global hegemon and faced life imprisonment. Sir Keir Starmer did nothing to help him. On the contrary, there was complicity with the Obama administration. Marcus Strom welcomes the release, but worries about the continued threat to free speech.”
