In the face of Macron's neoliberal onslaught, the creation of a workers' cooperative at the Duralex glass factory has inspired the French labour movement. Can it also shine a path forward for workers across Europe?

Before becoming the 'godfather' of communism, Karl Marx was a committed republican. And his republicanism, writes Bruno Leipold, indelibly shaped his understanding of politics and his vision for a post-capitalist society.
