The Last Days of the Old Normal. That is the title of Peter Mertens's new book, which will be published in French in October by Agone. In this book, he delves into the reality of today's world, where shocking events unfold at a breakneck pace. The PTB's secretary-general analyses how Europe and the United States are fighting for their survival within capitalism and imperialism. But resistance is growing. Choices have to be made. "Those who want to see the sun will have to fight for socialism."
