When The USSR And China Saved Humanity

December 27, 2025 Ben Norton, Geopolitical Economy. Educate! China, Fascism, History, Imperialism, Soviet Union, USSR, World War Two, WWII

2025 marked the 80th anniversary of the defeat of fascism in World War Two. Unfortunately, the history of this extremely important conflict is not very well understood today. It was not the United States and its Western allies that defeated fascism in WWII. That is a myth that is promoted by Hollywood movies. In reality, it was the Soviet Union and China that defeated fascism in WWII. However, their heroic contribution was later erased by the West, when the US waged the First Cold War against the global socialist movement. The vast majority — approximately 80% — of Nazi casualties were on the Eastern Front, in the Third Reich’s savage, scorched-earth battles against the Soviet Red Army.

Dr Hussam Abu Safia’s Family Demand His Release From Israeli Prison

Exactly one year after Israeli forces kidnapped Kamal Adwan Hospital director Dr. Hussam Abu Safia, relatives and health officials renewed demands for his release on 27 December, citing his deteriorating health. The anniversary prompted statements from Gaza authorities and international rights groups calling for disclosure of his fate and an end to his arbitrary detention. Occupation forces took Dr. Abu Safia on 27 December 2024 during a military raid on Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahia. At the time, the hospital was the last operational medical center serving northern Gaza. Witness accounts said he was detained while actively carrying out his medical duties.

Somaliland: How The World Reacted To Israeli Recognition

Israel's decision to become the first country to recognise the breakaway region of Somaliland has been condemned by a string of countries, while the US president said he was not ready to immediately follow in Israel's footsteps. Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel's prime minister, announced on Friday that he had signed a mutual declaration to recognise Somaliland as an independent and sovereign state. Somaliland has been part of the unified Somali Republic since 1960, but declared its independence in 1991 and established a de facto state.

The Institute of Political Economy (IPE), Sri Lanka and the UK-based Debt Justice issued a joint statement demanding the International Monetary Fund (IMF) suspend Sri Lanka’s debt repayment to help it tackle its prolonged economic crisis compounded by Cyclone Ditwah. The statement, signed by over 120 well-known economists from across the world including Jayati Ghosh and Utsa Patnaik from India, Nobel-prize winner Joseph Stiglitz, and French economist Thomas Piketty, asks the IMF to prioritize the welfare of people and their development over financial obligations to external creditors.

Honduras: Electoral Coup Was Unprecedented Fascist Operation

Ricardo Salgado, the Honduran secretary of Strategic Planning, said that the country suffered a new form of coup d’état following the proclamation of right-wing candidate Nasry Asfura as the president of Honduras by the two CNE councilors who belong to the Honduran bipartisan system: Ana Paola Hall García and Cossette Alejandra López. On December 24, the two aforementioned CNE officials declared Asfura the winner of the November 30 elections, without completing the special recount or resolving the challenges filed in response to the numerous irregularities reported.

No To The Re-Militarization Of Puerto Rico

We are now on the threshold of a new year, and for the Puerto Rican people, it means a renewal of our struggle for independence and sovereignty. With renewed vigor, we may resume the battle against the militarization of our archipelago. In 2003, we were able to expel the most powerful naval force in the world, the U.S. Navy, after four years of relentless struggle. The entire population, regardless of political beliefs, bravely united, facing beatings and arrests at the hands of U.S. security forces. The people were determined to close the bases that stored deadly weapons and from which the Navy bombed the pristine beaches of our small island of Vieques, sowing pain, disease, and death among its inhabitants.

How Education Changed In One Year Under Trump

December 27, 2025 Nirvi Shah, The Hechinger Report. Educate! Education, Higher Education, Schools, Trump Administration

Even with a conservative think tank’s blueprint detailing how the second Trump administration should reimagine the federal government’s role in education, few might have predicted what actually materialized this year for America’s schools and colleges. Or what might be yet to come. “2025 will go down as a banner year for education: the year we restored merit in higher education, rooted out waste, fraud and abuse, and began in earnest returning education to the states,” Education Secretary Linda McMahon told The Hechinger Report. She listed canceling K-12 grants she called wasteful, investing more in charter schools, ending college admissions that consider race or anything beyond academic achievement and making college more affordable as some of the year’s accomplishments.

Nurses At 12 New York City Hospitals Vote To Authorize A Strike

December 27, 2025 Barbara Russo-Lennon, Portside. Resist! New York State, Nurses, Strike, Unions

The New York State Nurses Association (NYSNA)voted overwhelmingly on Monday to authorize a strike for 20,000 nurses in NYC — a move made just two weeks before their contract expires. The nurses, all from private hospitals throughout the five boroughs, cited staffing issues, safety concerns, fair wages and other reasons for considering a strike. The union’s vote on Dec. 22 now gives its bargaining committees the authority to call a strike if a contract that protects safe patient care is not settled by the end of the year.

Shinnecock Nation Fights New York State Over Signs And Sovereignty

The Shinnecock Indian Nation’s battle to keep its two electronic signs operational will move to federal court next Tuesday, December 30, 2025. The tribal nation, located about 90 miles east of Manhattan at the gateway to the Hamptons on Long Island, is a federally recognized tribe in an area known for estates owned by the wealthy and famous. At issue is a New York state court ruling earlier this year that found the tribe did not have the right to construct and operate the billboards and ordered them shut down. Last month, the judge in the case said the company that operates the billboards and sells advertising on them was in contempt of court and again demanded that the signs be shut down.

Social And Solidarity Economy: African Youth Prepare Initiatives On Continental Scale

This initiative is part of the international project ‘Regionalisation of the UN resolution on the promotion of the Social and Solidarity Economy’, which aims to adapt and operationalise international commitments to the SSE in African contexts. In a continent where young people represent a major demographic force, but also a socio-economic challenge, the social and solidarity economy (SSE) appears to be a structuring response. Based on solidarity, democratic governance, territorial anchoring and inclusion, it is a recognised lever for decent job creation, social innovation and economic resilience.

The Right To Development Is An Inalienable Human Right

Nearly sixty years ago, in January 1966, hundreds of revolutionaries from across the Third World gathered in Havana, Cuba, for the First Solidarity Conference of the Peoples of Africa, Asia, and Latin America – the Tricontinental Conference. There, they discussed the inevitability of decolonisation and their ideas for a world beyond imperialism. Fidel Castro and the other organisers called the conference to bring together the two currents of world revolution: the current of socialist revolution and that of national liberation. The delegates saw the need to radicalise the ideals of sovereignty that had been given voice ten years earlier at the Bandung Conference.

The History And Future Of Latin America’s Engagement On Palestine

December 26, 2025 Maria Landi, Mondoweiss. Strategize! colonization, International Solidarity, Latin America, Palestine

I wrote this article when Israel’s genocide in Palestine was in its most ruthless phase (June–July 2025). As I wrote it, I felt rage, helplessness, and despair. I went to bed every night with the accounts of the ongoing horror and woke up in the morning to news of hundreds more dead. I saw corpses wrapped in blankets or shrouds piled up in mass graves and small children with their skulls or chests pierced by bullets, their bodies mutilated or emaciated, ravaged by hunger, dehydration, and infection. Like the millions of people around the world who care deeply for Palestine, over the past two years what has kept me going is an obsessive search for a way to stop this genocide before the Palestinian people are exterminated in their own land.

Chris Hedges Report: How The ‘Epstein Class’ Fails To The Top

December 26, 2025 Chris Hedges, Scheer Post. Resistance Report Capitalism, Chris Hedges, Jeffrey Epstein, Ruling Elites

Noam Chomsky once said “The more privilege you have, the more opportunity you have. The more opportunity you have, the more responsibility you have.” Today, this profound quote from an important figure is ensconced in irony, not only in light of Chomsky’s close ties with Jeffrey Epstein, but also regarding the entire ruling class structure’s facilitation of the pedophile’s rise to the top. Anand Giridharadas, in his book Winners Take All: The Elite Charade of Changing the World, talks about this privilege and the elite delusions that capitalism and capitalists can save the planet from the very problems that they create.

Algerian Parliament Declares French Colonial Rule A Crime

Algeria’s parliament unanimously passed legislation on 24 December declaring France’s colonization of Algeria a crime, stating that “full and fair compensation for all material and moral damages” is an inalienable right of the Algerian state and people. The law was adopted by Algeria’s lower house in Algiers, with lawmakers voting in favor of a bill explicitly assigning France “legal responsibility for its colonial past in Algeria and the tragedies it caused.” The vote took place on Wednesday inside the Algerian parliament, with MPs marking the moment by standing in the chamber wearing national colors, chanting “long live Algeria,” and singing the national anthem before and after the vote.

Mutual Aid Or Mutual Assured Destruction

December 26, 2025 Joe Lauria, Consortium News. Strategize! Evolution, Mutual Aid, Peter Kropotkin, Transformation

Kropotkin’s political ideas arose largely from his study of animal life and peasant society during his time in Siberia. It was on the basis of his observation of animal and human cooperation that he concluded that mutual aid, and not mutual struggle, is the primary factor in human evolution and survival. This was an argument in direct contradiction to the evolving consensus at the time put forward by Herbert Spencer and Thomas Huxley of a war for survival of the fittest. Kropotkin’s argument is essentially this: Human individuals and societies are both competitive and cooperative. The question is which has been more important in the survival of species.
