Trump ignored by other leaders at G7 Summit

Despite a string of top-level summits, still no end to multiple crises

Walter Chambers S.A. Russia 7 July, 2026

While signing the agreement with Iran, Trump claimed to have prevented a global depression by avoiding a long-drawn out war. Undoubtedly, if the war which Trump and Netanyahu initiated had escalated, the higher prices for oil, gas, fertilisers and other crucial products that transit the Strait of Hormuz would have done serious damage to the economy. But even now, Trump has succeeded in pushing the world to the edge of a new crisis.

The system’s moral panic and the struggle for queer liberation

Conor Tormey Solidarity Ireland 7 July, 2026

While the far-right and capitalist governments globally have made attacking trans rights a key aspect of their agenda under the guise of protecting women and femininity, this is also combined with a moral panic about falling birth rates resulting in increases in ‘pronatalism’, and attacks on abortion rights.

SpaceX IPO, and the AI boom – will the bubble burst?

Michael O Brien Solidarity, Ireland 7 July, 2026

The hype, coupled with the anaemic performance of other parts of the economy, has made SpaceX and AI in general a magnet for speculative investment. Without SpaceX and the AI sector, US stock markets would already be in decline. This also partly explains the support for SpaceX from the Trump regime, which is relying on these stock market increases to maintain an illusion of prosperity – at a time when hundreds of millions of ordinary people in the US are feeling an acute cost-of-living crisis.

“Get Out!” Fear and division in the Rainbow Nation.

Ikhwezi_Labantu South Africa 1 July, 2026

Elites and their political puppets prefer to scapegoat vulnerable Africans, because by doing so, they are able to divert attention from the fact that they are causing this crisis through theft and incompetence. They are bleeding the state’s coffers dry instead of investing in infrastructure and services that will actually ensure a better life for all who live in South Africa.

Elon Musk – a trillion and one reasons to be a socialist

Manus Lenihan Solidarity Ireland 26 June, 2026

This is a double obscenity: first, that one person can amass so much wealth, and second, that this one person is Elon Musk. The truth about capitalism is now more stark and obvious than ever. One myth after another falls apart in the light of the rise of this raving fascist grifter to the position of richest human in all of history.

El Niño adds fuel to the fire of climate catastrophe

Isidora Duran Solidarity Ireland 26 June, 2026

The World Meteorological Organisation is warning that a rare Super ‘El Niño’ is on its way – spelling floods, mudslides, droughts, crop failures, wildfires, skyrocketing temperatures and general climate volatility. There is an 80% chance for almost every part of the globe to reach above-average temperatures in June and July, and a 90% chance that the impacts of El Niño will be felt all the way into November, and potentially beyond.

US Empire humiliated as Iran war comes to an end

Peter O Shea Solidarity Ireland 26 June, 2026

From the viewpoint of international capitalism, it will take months for energy supplies to return to ‘normality’. The Chief Executive of Shell, Wael Sawan has stated: “You would require, we think, close to a year, if not longer, to be able to find equilibrium again.” And that is assuming the truce holds.

Flamingo Revolution in Albania: Mass protests take on Trump Family Inc

Finn McKenna Solidarity Ireland 26 June, 2026

This vast real estate project is extremely destructive to Albania’s biodiversity. The patriarchal head of the dynasty, Donald Trump himself, has clearly demonstrated his contempt for the natural world – epitomised in his sloganeering “Drill Baby Drill” and his and the Israeli regime’s ecocide in Gaza.

Peru and Colombia: Advance of the Far Right or Political Impasse in the Region?

Latin American Bureau 25 June, 2026

These examples contradict the analysis of an irrefutable triumph disseminated by the regional right and some media outlets. On the contrary, both examples show that this triumph is more apparent than real. Donald Trump’s blatant support is not only an open intervention to favor the right, but also a sign of its weakness, making it clear that it is incapable of winning on its own.

Bolivia, new mobilizations against right-wing attacks

Christian Tello Alternativa Socialista - Mexico 27 May, 2026

Protests in Bolivia have intensified in recent weeks due to a combination of economic crisis, privatizations of the agricultural sector, economic concessions to US imperialism, fuel shortages, inflation, and political tensions between the government of Rodrigo Paz, the Movement for Socialism (MAS), and the main labor and peasant organizations.

“Right-wing populism and authoritarianism” – Report of a discussion

Collective 20 May, 2026

Capitalism is waging an international offensive – it is on the warpath against the working class and the masses of the whole world. This global offensive with the election of right-populist governments and the increasing use of authoritarian measures manifests in several ways. These phenomena do not appear in pure form but as uneven and shifting combinations shaped by concrete class relations.

Hungary’s election – European Union celebrates too soon

Paul Smith Alternatywa Socjalistyczna Poland 20 April, 2026

What gave Magyar immediate political weight was not only the scandal itself, but his position within the system he was now criticising. He presented himself as someone who knew how power actually worked inside Fidesz: how political loyalty, personal networks, and access to state resources had been used to build careers and fortunes. This insider-outsider position allowed him to break through in a way the established opposition parties had been unable to.
