Big banner saying "Greenland not for sale" in 2 languages

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

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

On ‘left alliances’ – the opposition, cooperation, and the next government

This is why we want to see a genuinely left government – one based on a mass anti-capitalist and socialist movement in society, that fights for democratic public ownership of the key wealth and resources of society, and a radical transformation of the economy to meet people’s needs. It isn’t a question of left-wing ‘purity’, but what’s practically necessary. Because that’s the only kind of government that can possibly deal with the multiple chronic crises we face, all of which are only going to become more acute as the capitalist world continues to devour itself in the coming years.

Protest in Greenland against Trump's threats

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

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.

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.

Socialism or Barbarism – New left parties & the struggle for revolutionary rupture

There is no reformist road to breaking with capitalism. When it has been tried, the results have been a disaster. Capitalism has at times been prepared to tolerate reforms, such as the creation of the welfare state and NHS post-World War 2. It did so because the alternative was a revolution. Faced with a powerful, organised workers movement, the ruling class risked losing their wealth and privileged place in society.

Mass demonstration by SEAT workers in Barcelona against Franco dictatorship in 1971

50 years ago Francesco Franco, Spain’s fascist dictator died

According to the Socialists and Stalinists, i.e., the Mensheviks of the first and second instances, the Spanish revolution was called upon to solve only its “democratic” tasks, for which a united front with the “democratic” bourgeoisie was indispensable. From this point of view, any and all attempts of the proletariat to go beyond the limits of bourgeois democracy are not only premature but also fatal.

Catherine Connolly address a street meeting during the Irish Presidential Campaign

Catherine Connolly trounces right-wing political establishment in Ireland – what next?

The victory for Connolly and the extremely low vote for Heather Humphreys is a significant blow to the Fianna Fáil / Fine Gael government. It was a rejection of their meek approach to the genocide in Palestine – watering down the Occupied Territories Bill to a toothless token Bill and doing so under pressure from US big business. It is a setback to their ongoing efforts to remove the Triple Lock and to fall into step with EU militarisation and further integration with NATO.

Banner at front of demonstration in Serbia reading "Your hands are dripping blood"

Serbian students tell Vucic “Your hands are bloody”

There is so much wrong for us to see. The evil is now so deep, and we are so far into the revolution that we see that corruption is only the tip of the iceberg, just one of the methods they are using to abuse us. We are living in a collective nightmare. And everyone, the whole world is experiencing it. The longer it goes on, the harder it will be to clean up the consequences of their actions.

Anti-war banners on French "Block everything" protests

France: “Your repression is our determination” say protesters

It is therefore paramount that next to being strong in terms of numbers, the movement organizes around a clear program that links the rejection of any form of austerity to a clear struggle against all forms of oppression, against the genocide of Palestinians and the destruction of our planet and for fundamental social change that goes beyond taxing the rich, but puts the question of ownership and control over the means of production on the table.

The Sumud flotilla with many boats sets out from Genoa

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.

Trump and Putin walk along red carpet after meeting in Alaska

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.

Picture oof ROSA/PRMI banner on Trans-pride London 2025

PRMI supporters in Britain define political outlook

Although a vibrant, democratic mass left wing party will be a very important step forward, it does not remove the necessity of a revolutionary Marxist organisation. The reality is that left formations can grow very rapidly, and even challenge for political power, but if they confine themselves to a reformist programme, ameliorating and softening the harshness of capitalism rather than seeking to overthrow it, they will end up in power simply operating capitalism to the detriment of the mass of the people.
