Stop the war on Iran – oppose US and Israeli naked imperialist aggression

Socialist Party Ireland 2 March, 2026

Despite shameful reporting throughout the Western media of “preemptive strikes”, this is a naked imperialist war of aggression against a state that the US and Israel see as their chief rival in the region and have long sought to topple. These powers seek unfettered domination of West Asia, including control of Iran’s oil and gas reserves, the fourth largest in the world.

What the Epstein Files reveal about abuse, power and global elites

Walter Chambers PRMI Russia 15 February, 2026

The failure to act in previous cases, and the more than decade long cover-up to protect the rich individuals linked to Epstein and his collaborators has shown a green light to those involved allowing them to continue their systematic abuse and brutally prolonged the suffering of survivors. If action had been taken as soon as Epstein was first suspected, the pain and agony of hundreds of victims could have been prevented.

Epstein horror story: truth far stranger than fiction

James McCabe Socialist Party, Ireland 15 February, 2026

In Dec 2025, a CNN poll found that just 6% of Americans were satisfied with how much Epstein info had been released by then. Last Friday, 31 January, the Trump administration released nearly 3 million Epstein-related documents, while continuing to withhold millions more. Though limited, the files give us a sense of the depraved nature of the “boys’ club” culture of the ruling class.

Palestinian women protest in Gaza city during First Intifada

Review: “The Palestinian Left and its Decline” by Francesco Saverio Leopardi published in 2020.

Walter Chambers PRMI Russia 6 February, 2026

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

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

Eddie McCabe Socialist Party, Ireland 6 February, 2026

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.

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.

Protest in Greenland against Trump's threats

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.

Review: Words for My Comrades: A Political History of Tupac Shakur by Dean Van Nguyen

James McCabe Socialist Party, Ireland 24 January, 2026

Most portrayals of Tupac in the mainstream media superficially depict him as a reckless, antisocial tearaway, but anyone with more than a superficial familiarity with his music will know that his outlook was steeped in social awareness and political analysis. And how could it have been any other way, given that Afeni raised him in such a political environment? His godfather was Geronimo Pratt, a leader of the Black Panthers, while his godmother was Assata Shakur of the Black Liberation Army.

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.

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.

Shut down Grok – Elon Musk’s depraved AI tool

Ollie Bell Socialist Party, Ireland 21 January, 2026

Grok’s creation of AI-generated IBSA and CSAM is inherently linked to the fascist ideology it is built on. This is the same AI chatbot that referred to itself as “MechaHitler” and promoted white supremacist conspiracy theories, such as white genocide in South Africa, to users unprompted. Since Elon Musk’s takeover of X/Twitter, there has been a huge increase in misogynistic, transphobic and racist rhetoric across the platform.
