No to Trump’s imperialist oil grab in Venezuela 

Centuries of colonial conquest and imperialist domination have brought nothing but misery to the masses of Latin America. Trump’s new colonial adventure in Venezuela is another chapter in this horrendous history—the working class, the poor and oppressed must build a continent-wide revolutionary movement that breaks the stranglehold of imperialist and capitalist domination and exploitation.

Missiles continue to fall on Ukraine as imperialist powers discuss “peace plans”

The original plan written in Russia’s interests is based on the approach of 19th Century European, Russian and US imperialism. Ukraine will become a US protectorate, allowing the western powers access to exploit the country’s natural resources, while at the same time accepting the brutal annexation of key parts of the country by Russian imperialism in return for empty promises and the removal of sanctions on Russia.

Genocide in Sudan & the role of imperialism and capitalism in fuelling the terror

Since April 2023, the head of armed forces and President Abdel Fattah al-Burnham and his deputy (and RSF leader) Mohamed “Hemedti” Dagalo have been engaged in a vicious power struggle with devastating consequences for the Sudanese people, some of whom have been living in overcrowded, unsafe refugee camps such as those in Chad for over two years.

Israel’s message: “You cease, we fire” – Gaza genocide continues

Palestinians are living with the trauma of two years of genocide, the mass destruction of life and the means of living. An estimated 90% of buildings have been destroyed or damaged, and the health system has been decimated. With no reconstruction taking place, the impact of this destruction will be keenly felt in the winter months.

Recognition of Palestine exposes ruthlessness of imperialist states

This statehood “recognition” is also a sign of weakness. It is a symptom of cracks opening in the imperialist front under pressure from below, and a clear indication that not all Western powers march in lockstep. That weakness should be seized as our opportunity to push harder, and be answered by further escalating the international struggle against the genocide.

Gaza genocide – a fault line exposing a rotten capitalist order

The global solidarity movement for Palestine is already unparalleled in world history. And it’s not only the scale of the protests, but what people are witnessing – the unimaginable horror, hypocrisy and cynicism – and how deeply this is changing the political outlook of millions across the planet. The basis is being laid for explosions of anger and discontent. In this way the genocide and the struggle for Palestinian liberation is directly changing politics in many countries, and laying the groundwork for new political movements.

Destruction wreaked on Gaza

Strike against Gaza holocaust—Shut down the system of genocide

A struggle for Palestinian national liberation is bound with a need for more fundamental revolutionary change. The Israeli State is part of the system of capitalism and imperialism that dominates and exploits the peoples of the Middle East and beyond – a system built on racism, exploitation, poverty and oppression. Its whole rule must be torn down.

Sumud flotilla sets out as Arab rulers bury heads in the sand

The destruction of the Israeli Apartheid state is not just the responsibility of the workers of West Asia, it is even more the responsibility of workers in the imperialist powers which have established, supported and armed Israel to defend their plunder of the region. Unless workers’ organisations fight for Palestinian liberation they will be unable to fight effectively for the genuine liberation of their own members.

Imperialists argue about ‘peace’ as they trample on Ukraine’s rights

Ukraine is learning the hard way the role played by the different imperialist powers. Russian imperialism has acted in an aggressive, brutal way and will continue to do so until it is overthrown. The US is demonstrating it too is prepared to sacrifice Ukraine’s self-determination for its own geo-political, and mercantile interests. This should be no surprise, it has a long history of brutal military interventions against weaker nations – Algiers, Iraq, Panama, Libya, Afghanistan, Syria, Somalia, Iran. The US and all the European powers are deeply complicit in the current genocide of Palestinians.

Protest outside Egyptian embassy in Beirut. The placard reads "You siege Gaza, we siege your embassy"

Interview: Protests against genocide in Gaza need stepping up

In Gaza itself, there’s been the whole charade with the airdrops. I think they dropped about 2000 food parcels. This is about 0.4% of what was needed in the time that they dropped them. The minimum Gaza needs is about 600 trucks per day, and what they dropped was equivalent to 200 trucks, not in a day but over two weeks. So the lives of Palestinians in Gaza have only worsened, there is now stage five hunger. Every day that passes means more people are close, dangerously close to dying. Other people are getting weaker so they cannot help with getting the food.

It’s a new holocaust – stop the genocide in Gaza

A new ‘holocaust’ is perhaps the only term that accurately characterises the horror we’re now seeing in Gaza. From the very beginning of this genocide, the denial of food, fuel and water has been used as a weapon of war against two million Palestinians living in the world’s largest concentration camp.
