In 1969 the PFLP declared it was a “Marxist-Leninist” organisation – a term universally used by Maoist organisations. Lenin’s united workers front strategy was replaced by Mao’s popular frontism; his class-based approach to the national question was overturned by prioritising the national conflict over class struggle; his international workers’ solidarity was replaced by alliances with the ruling elites of ‘friendly countries’; and Lenin’s “arming the working class” during a working-class led political revolution was replaced by “guerrilla struggle” aimed at igniting a mass based popular war.

“Kalaallit Nunaat, Kalaallit pigaat” – Greenland belongs to the Greenlanders

Lenn Viken Socialist Party, Ireland 6 February, 2026

Thus, if we, as a movement, are serious about anti-imperialism, anti-capitalism and socialist feminism, we need to centre Indigenous voices and support the Kalaallit in how they decide to organise their own movement toward decolonisation. We have to stop speaking about this as a geopolitical conflict between Denmark and the US and start speaking about it as a continuation of the long history of annexation of Indigenous land by Western superpowers

Trump, Greenland, and the end of the ‘rules-based order’

Donal Devlin Socialist Party, Ireland 24 January, 2026

Trump has jettisoned any notion of operating as part of the “rules-based order” that has existed, as far as Western imperialism is concerned, since 1945. Of course, this was an order always rooted in rank hypocrisy, as the livestreamed genocide in Gaza since October 2023 has definitively borne out. The only order that imperialism and big capitalist powers seek is one where the rules apply to the weak, but not the powerful – facilitating geopolitical and economic domination.

Japanese-Chinese tensions on the rise

Walter Chambers PRMI Russia 21 January, 2026

The region has a strong tradition of anti-imperialist and revolutionary struggle. Imperialist domination of China was ended by the revolution of 1949. Never a socialist society, Maoist China was a bonapartist state leaning on measures of land reform and state ownership in its early stages, before reverting to an openly capitalist, now imperialist world power. US imperialism was unable to escape defeat either in Korea or Vietnam. The Japanese masses too during the Anro movement used militant tactics to resist militarism and the domination of Japan by US imperialism.

Venezuela at the Crossroads — Down with Imperialist Aggression!

Latin American Bureau PRMI 11 January, 2026

Certainly, and despite the complicity of the corporate media—which for the most part has chosen to ignore the massive protests in Caracas in favor of Maduro’s release—it is a fact that Maduro’s fall did not mean the fall of his regime, the Chavista bureaucracy, or Chavismo itself. As some analysts have pointed out, this amounts to capturing the king without delivering checkmate.

No to Trump’s imperialist oil grab in Venezuela

Michael O Brien Socialist Party, Ireland 7 January, 2026

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”

Walter Chambers PRMI Russia 28 November, 2025

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

Michael Shiel Socialist Party, Ireland 20 November, 2025

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

Socialist Party Ireland 4 November, 2025

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.

New Gaza ceasefire brings relief – struggle against genocide & occupation continues

Socialist Party Ireland 14 October, 2025

If Trump gets his way, Gaza will be ruled by an imperial and grotesquely named “Board of Peace”, with Trump himself as chair, and including arch war criminal Tony Blair. The Palestinian people will have no say in the running of the Strip.

Recognition of Palestine exposes ruthlessness of imperialist states

Serge Jordan PRMI in India 22 September, 2025

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

Kevin McLoughlin Socialist Party, Ireland 22 September, 2025

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.
