The Fourth Reich Is Financial: War Is Absolution

Let us, for a moment, reflect deeply upon the martyrdom of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, killed in an aerial strike by U.S. and Israeli forces. Following the ongoing Zionist dispossession and genocide of Palestinians, as well as the trafficking and sexual exploitation of children that has ensnared not just Trump and Netanyahu, but the wealthy elite across the sector of capitalism’s excess and abuse that has come to light following the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files. Billionaires and their sycophants, and its culture of elite political access and influence continue to operate not just with impunity but with absolution.

In Spain, Amazon Workers Win With Quick-Hit Walkouts

At an Amazon fulfillment center in Spain, we used a flurry of brief walkouts late last year to force the company to improve wages and time off. We struck for three days in November and in December in a series of “flexible strikes,” timed to hit production with intermittent walkouts during the holiday “peak” season. On December 22, the union committee announced a settlement, negotiated through government mediators. The facility, RMU1 in the city of Murcia, employed 2,000 workers at the time, and our union the General Confederation of Labor (CGT) was one of four unions that represented them. 

Why The Epstein Files Are Shattering Global Theory

When British author David Icke wrote his seminal work, The Biggest Secret: The Book That Will Change the World, published in 1999, he was not speaking metaphorically. When he detailed the “reptilian genetic streams” of “elite” families—human-reptile hybrids allegedly engineering global events—he meant it literally. To Icke, the world is not run by mere men, but by an interdimensional species operating just outside the visible light spectrum. While many scoff at this as the ultimate apex of human gullibility, millions have found a dark comfort in Icke’s “wisdom”.

Near-Termination Of Two Officers Shows Power Of Anti-ICE Movement

Detroit Chief of Police, Todd Bettison, was supposedly going to fire two officers for contacting Border Patrol during traffic stops. This led to Border Patrol detaining two citizens. However, on Thursday February 19, when Detroit Board of Police Commissioners voted to suspend the two officers without pay for 30 days, the chief changed his tune and decided he was satisfied with the actions of the board being the “ultimate discipline for these officers.” His decision not to fire the officers comes after Michigan House Speaker Mike Hall warned the city that terminating the officers would go against a rule adopted by House Republicans which states that cities whose policies undercut federal immigration policy would be restricted from receiving earmark grants.

It’s Not Enough To Abolish ICE; We Have To Abolish The Police

Under Donald Trump, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has started appearing ever more like a private militia, unleashing brutal violence against families and displaying sycophantic loyalty to Trump as he mandates the dehumanizing treatment of immigrants. In the days since January, when federal immigration agents in Minneapolis, Minnesota, killed 37-year-old Alex Pretti and 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good, it’s not surprising that ICE has begun drawing even more frequent comparison to Hitler’s fascist Brownshirts, the paramilitary wing of the Nazi Party.

The Caribbean People’s Debt To Cuba

What we are seeing across the Caribbean in 2025-2026 is a total absence of political and moral leadership, specifically in regards to the failure of elected officials and prominent regional organizations like the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), to speak out against the criminal blockade and embargo of Cuba, and the imperialist attacks against Venezuela – which includes the violation of Venezuela’s sovereignty that resulted in the kidnapping of the Venezuelan President, Nicolás Maduro, and First Lady, Cilia Flores by the United States (US). 

The Meaning Of Maduro In Metropolitan Detention

I traveled all day to get there, to the prison where the leader of the Bolivarian process is held hostage. It was early January, only a week after Nicolas Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores were kidnapped from Caracas, Venezuela and flown to the prison where they are still held in the Empire State. It has taken me more than a month to write and rewrite this, struggling to distill meaning and method from this madness and mayhem which in today’s world runs the risk of appearing almost mundane – nothing to see here folks! Just another entry in the archive of outrages.

Portugal: General Strike And The Struggle Over Labour Law

On 11 December 2025, a general strike took place, called by all trade union confederations, which brought transport, much of the public services, and the largest companies in Portugal to a standstill – especially in industry, but not only. It was a strong response to a draft bill from the right-wing government, elected in March 2025, which aims to change some of the pillars of labour relations in Portugal. The strike call and its undeniable political success – which the government tried to downplay – changed the terms of the public debate and triggered a repositioning of political actors.

Standing With Iran

The United States has been determined to crush the Islamic Republic of Iran ever since a revolution brought it to power 47 years ago. In the 1980s the U.S. made Iraq’s president Saddam Hussein their proxy as he unleashed a war against Iran that killed an estimated 1 million people. The chemical weapons that the U.S. later used as a pretext for invasion and occupation of Iraq were actually used against Iran. The U.S. navy shot down an Iranian civilian airliner and killed 290 people in 1988. Vice President George H.W. Bush famously responded with these words. “I'll never apologize for the United States of America, ever. I don't care what the facts are. I’m not an apologize-for-America kind of guy.”

Fighting Autocracy And Corruption

My first contact with labor reformers in New York City was nearly 50 years ago. Like many rank-and-file dissidents, before and since, these critics of union corruption were prophets without honor in their own local. Teamsters Local 282 was, at the time, one of the most mobbed-up affiliates of a national union then rightly notorious for its organized crime ties. Its members drove trucks full of cement or other building materials to local construction sites, while 282 leaders like Bobby Sasso extorted bribes to insure labor peace or allow non-union operations.

The Youth Movement In A Post-Growth World

Bringing about alternatives to our capitalist growth system at the speed and scale needed is no easy task. The herculean work to develop transformative worldviews, including theories toward a steady state economy, is ongoing and increasingly cross-sectoral. At the core of this endeavor is the recognition that we cannot implement alternatives to growth capitalism without first addressing cultural and social dynamics deeply rooted in colonialism and cultural appropriation. In this context, youth movements, particularly those focusing on environmental justice, have led the way for many.

How Workers In The Indian State Of Karnataka Shut Down Production

​Mass detentions, motorcycle rallies, protest marches and demonstrations, pickets in industrial areas forcing factories to shut down, and the ubiquitous red flags fluttering over these actions marked the All-India General Strike on February 12 in South India’s largest state, Karnataka. ​Over 600,000 workers downed tools. Almost 100,000 workers, farmers, and activists participated in street actions across its 31 districts. Production had largely come to a halt in most major industrial areas of the state capital, Bangalore, and the neighboring Ramanagar districts.

‘Reforms’ Didn’t End Police Violence In 2020

Escalating opposition to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Minneapolis, Chicago, Los Angeles, and beyond is pushing renewed debate within the Democratic Party about Donald Trump’s war on immigrants. From rallies and ICE watch trainings to mutual aid and coordinated strikes, countless people are demanding an end to ICE’s deadly regime. In response to this robust organizing and the high-profile immigration agent-perpetrated murders of Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti, Democrats are refusing to approve the current Department of Homeland Security funding bill without the inclusion of ICE reforms.

The Plan To Put Health At The Heart Of The Global Economy

For decades, finance ministers have viewed health spending the way homeowners view leaky roofs: a necessary nuisance, a cost to be minimized. Hospitals consume budgets. Doctors require salaries. Medicines drain foreign exchange. When economies tighten, health is often among the first cabinet ministers sent home with a smaller envelope. But a quiet revolution might be underway in Geneva, and it threatens to flip this logic on its head. This May, when Member States gather for the 79th World Health Assembly, they will be asked to approve something unprecedented: a formal strategy declaring that health is not a cost at all.

The Anti-Imperialist Imperative: Confronting Globalized Fascism

We are living through a decisive historical rupture. This is not a moment of policy disagreement. It is not a moment of partisan confusion among anti-imperialists or even simply a crisis of democracy. We are in the midst of a deepening capitalist crisis so profound that capital has abandoned even the performance of its commitment to liberal enlightenment values. The institutions it created— the United Nations system, the so-called rules-based international order, the human rights regime— have been stripped of their moral veneer. What remains is naked power. The doctrine now is simple: Full spectrum dominance — by any means necessary.
