Anti-war banners on French "Block everything" protests

France: “Your repression is our determination” say protesters

Philipp Chmel PRMI in Austria 16 September, 2025

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.

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.

Nepal’s ‘Gen Z’ rise up: Prime Minister resigns after deadly crackdown

Serge Jordan PRMI in India 9 September, 2025

The grotesque contrast between the opulent lifestyle of politicians and the crushing poverty facing ordinary people has fed mass outrage. In the days and weeks leading to the protests, a viral “Nepo Kid” campaign spotlighted the children of politicians and influential figures, accusing them of enjoying luxury —foreign education, lavish cars, expensive holidays— while the rest of the country is struggling.

Chennai Sanitation workers on strike attacked by the police

Chennai’s Sanitation Workers Fight Back Against Capital and Caste

Socialist Struggle PRMI in India 9 September, 2025

This struggle is fundamentally a feminist one. Sanitation work in India is not gender-neutral—it is an occupation overwhelmingly performed by women from Dalit communities. Their bodies are on the front lines, exposed to toxic waste, health hazards, and the social stigma of their caste. When the government moves to privatize sanitation services, it is not just threatening jobs; it is directly targeting the livelihoods of thousands of marginalized women.

Strike against Gaza holocaust—Shut down the system of genocide

Socialist Party Ireland 8 September, 2025

A struggle for Palestinian national liberation is bound with a need for more fundamental revolutionary change. The Israeli State is part of the system of capitalism and imperialism that dominates and exploits the peoples of the Middle East and beyond – a system built on racism, exploitation, poverty and oppression. Its whole rule must be torn down.

The Sumud flotilla with many boats sets out from Genoa

Sumud flotilla sets out as Arab rulers bury heads in the sand

Paul Moorhouse PRMI in Scotland 3 September, 2025

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.

Indonesia explodes in revolt

Serge Jordan PRMI in India 2 September, 2025

These protests have expressed not just outrage at parliamentary ‘excesses’, but deep rage at a system built on structural inequalities, elite plunder, and growing state authoritarianism– all at the expense of the millions who toil to survive. Ruling institutions are perceived as so rotten and untrustworthy that protesters have been calling for “Bubarkan DPR”—the dissolution of the Parliament itself.

Imperialists argue about ‘peace’ as they trample on Ukraine’s rights

Walter Chambers PRMI Russia 26 August, 2025

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.

Young women in pain suffering from endometriosis

Endometriosis, medical misogyny, and capitalism

Marie-Claire Jennequin Socialist Party Ireland 26 August, 2025

Medical misogyny plays a central role in the crisis of endometriosis care. Historically, women’s reproductive pain has been normalised or pathologised as “emotional,” leading to diagnostic delays that average nearly a decade. This isn’t accidental – it reflects underfunding of gynaecological research, male-dominated clinical leadership, and a biomedical model that treats male bodies as the default.

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.

Mass protests in pre-election period in Cote d'Ivoire

Côte d’Ivoire: Presidential elections of October 25

Militant Cote d Ivoire PRMI in Cote d Ivoire 19 August, 2025

On top of numerous broken campaign promises, the Ouattara government has also been responsible for a record level of public fund embezzlement. From inflated infrastructure project costs to funds meant for basic social services — water, electricity, education, and healthcare — public money has been diverted often with impunity and in full view of the public. Ouattara fears losing power because he doesn’t want to be held accountable.
