“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.

Iranians suffer between the bombs of the imperialists and bullets of the tyrants

Walter Chambers S.A. Russia 9 April, 2026

This war was never about creating the conditions in which ordinary Iranians could organise, overthrow the dictatorship and establish a democratic society. Its real aims were to strengthen the control of US imperialism and Israel over the region, including to gain control of the oil and gas supplies, while the Iranian regime was determined to protect its dictatorship. It is further proof, if any was needed, of why a powerful internationalist anti-imperialist movement should be built based on a clear working-class political alternative to the capitalist system combined with the real material and political solidarity with those fighting the regime in Iran and elsewhere.

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 S.A. 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.
