“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

The Minnesota revolt against Trump’s war on migrants

Conor Payne Socialist Party, Ireland 6 February, 2026

This movement of solidarity has also refuted the idea that the only way to push back the electoral support for the far-right is to concede to their ideas. This idea has been widely pushed since Trump was elected within the Democratic Party, the media and other sections of the establishment, particularly that Democrats must move (even) further to the right on migration. This was justified by polling, which showed that public opinion had favoured Trump’s call for a harder line stance. In fact, accepting anti-migrant frameworks has only strengthened the hand of the right.

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.

The fate of half-revolutions – lessons of Chavismo

Darragh O Dwyer Socialist Party, Ireland 21 January, 2026

Notwithstanding nationalisations of oil, telecommunications, electricity and public services, the main levers of the economy still remained in the hands of the capitalists. In addition, a new layer of state bureaucrats and managers – the so-called Bolibourgeoisie – enriched themselves in this period and acted as a brake on the revolutionary process.

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.

United States: The growing discord in the MAGA movement

Colm McCarthy Socialist Party, Ireland 28 November, 2025

Throughout the period since winning the 2016 Presidential election, the primary means of discipline has been Trump banging the table. Those who publicly broke with him were generally forced out of the party. Otherwise, any differences or fractures have been covered over by this personalism. However, barring a power grab, Donald Trump is term-limited from future presidential runs.

Jair Bolsonaro and coup generals jailed

Pedro Meade PRMI in Brazil 14 September, 2025

The mere fact that Bolsonaro and high-ranking military officers were in the dock was already a historic event. Military coups have been part of the country’s history since the proclamation of the Republic. The 1964 civil-big business-military coup installed a dictatorship that lasted more than 20 years. However, after redemocratisation, which was the result of the struggles of the working class and oppressed peoples, Brazil did not condemn the dictators for their crimes during the “years of lead”, as was done in other Latin American countries.

Kirk and Trump shake hands at a "Turning point event"

The violence Kirk unleashed on others has come full circle

Paul Moorhouse PRMI in Scotland 14 September, 2025

Under the guise of campaigning for ‘Free Speech’ on campuses Kirk promoted a hostile environment for ideas which challenge the racial oppression, toxic masculinity, violence and corruption rife in US capitalism and academia. He spewed an endless stream of frequently implausible lies, and bogus statistics directed at people of colour, Jews, the trans community, migrants, and even climate scientists.

Narco, the stark violence of the system

Alternativa Socialista PRMI in Mexico 25 August, 2025

This narrative of a rampant security crisis in Mexico only feeds the coup aspirations of the national and international right wing that is now desperately trying not to lose the privileges they used to enjoy. The exaggeration of the chaos and the minimization of security advances only seek to justify the destabilization of the government of President Claudia Sheinbaum. The appointment of US Ambassador Ronald Johnson, who had suggested invading Mexico to put an end to the narco, as well as his reception and the constant calls to support a US invasion by sectors of the Mexican right, and Donald Trump’s foreign security policies towards Mexico all point in that direction.

Bolsonaro's far-right supporters attempt to occupy Presidental palace

Trump’s 50% tariff on Brazil backfired on Bolsonaro

Marcio Silva PRMI in Brazil 8 August, 2025

The organised working class and the entire progressive sector of the population eagerly awaited Bolsonaro’s arrest, which finally happened on Monday 4th of August when Moraes charged him with defying court orders after he appeared at rallies called by his supporters. It is worth remembering that not only was he the mastermind behind the coup attempt, but he is also guilty of many other crimes, from theft and corruption to deliberate negligence in the pandemic and inciting farmers to murder indigenous people and burn forests.

Trump regime being consumed by Epstein scandal

James McCabe Socialist Party, Ireland 6 August, 2025

As more and more information emerges about the sordid relationship between these two obscenely rich sexual predators, the bulk of the media coverage tends to overlook the immense trauma suffered by the victims of Epstein and his network of powerful, ruling-class men. The truth has been hidden about so many aspects of the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. However, what’s crystal clear is that the survivors have been completely failed by the justice system.
