The Strait Of Hormuz, Gate To The Great Sea

April 10, 2026 Vijay Prashad, Tricontinental Institute for Social Research. Strategize! Global Economy, Global South, Iran, Strait of Hormuz, Wars and Militarism

In the thirteenth century, the great Arab geographer Yaqut al-Hamawi described the Sea of Persia (فارس) as ‘a branch of the Great Sea’. In his compendium, Mu’jem al-Buldaan (Dictionary of Countries), he wrote that through the Sea of Persia would ‘pass the ships of India, Oman, and Basra’. Hormuz was not the name of that sea but of a ‘great mart of trade to which merchants resort from India and other lands’. Centuries later, those waters would be called the Strait of Hormuz: a fifty-four–kilometre passage between the Sultanate of Oman’s Musandam Peninsula and the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Dialectics, Iran And The Long Durée Of Anticolonial Revolution

April 9, 2026 Erica Caines, Black Agenda Report. Strategize! Class war, colonization, Iran, Revolution, Wars and Militarism

Dialectical and historical materialism cannot be understated as critically important in understanding the “war on Iran”. The framework is indispensable for moving beyond the phenomena of geopolitics (sanctions, military posturing, diplomatic tensions) to grasp the essential phenomena: the structural contradictions of imperialism in its current, neocolonial phase. By examining the nation-state as an enclosure, the process of primitive accumulation, and the dialectic between the dictatorship of capital and the dictatorship of the proletariat, we can see the war on Iran not as a discrete conflict between nation-states, but as a critical battle in the ongoing class war that shapes the entire imperialist world-system.

Rethinking Resilience In A Time Of Polycrisis

April 9, 2026 Jem Bendell, Resilience. Strategize! Adaptation, collapse, Inflation, New Normal, Transformation

I’ve often said that a rising cost of living is the obvious way that most people will experience the creeping collapse of industrial consumer societies. In the decade prior to 2026, that was already happening due to market capture by monopolistic capital, corrupt monetary policies, and the damage to production from ecological depletion and climate destabilisation. Now it’s also happening due to avoidable conflicts, such as in Ukraine and the Gulf. That is not to downplay any one tragic situation; but by pointing to the rising prices which then necessitate a change in our living standards, emotional states, and life goals, I am trying to help more of us to see how collapse is not a sudden event in the future.

The Quiet Casualties Of War: Americans At Home

April 8, 2026 Kenneth A. Carlson, Scheer Post. Strategize! Austerity, Inflation, Trauma, Wars and Militarism

By the time most Americans encounter war, it arrives not with the thunder of artillery but with the quiet click of a gas pump. The price rolls upward in glowing red numbers. A family of four hesitates in the grocery aisle, comparing brands of eggs and milk. Parents postpone vacations. A small business owner rethinks hiring another employee. No bombs fall here; no air raid sirens pierce the night. Yet the costs ripple through American life all the same. In this quieter sense, we too are casualties of Donald Trump’s war on Iran. War has always traveled far beyond the battlefield.

Jonathan Kozol And The Struggle Against US Apartheid

April 7, 2026 Michael K. Smith, Counter Punch. Strategize! Apartheid, Education, History, Racism, United States

Although bookshelves groan under the weight of tracts about U.S. racism, no one’s writings on the topic are more unsettling than Jonathan Kozol’s. He is among our greatest and most eloquent dissenters. He writes not from studied objectivity but with an impassioned conviction that sears the conscience and haunts the soul. His books, once read, stay with you; his insights, once seen, can never again be unseen. Horrors we once attributed to happenstance or personal failure are revealed by Kozol for what they are: our society’s deliberate punishment of innocent poor people, whose very existence reminds us of moral failures we prefer to imagine do not exist.

No Kings In America, Real Resistance In Rome

April 6, 2026 Michael Leonardi, Counter Punch. Strategize! Antiwar Movement, Democrats, Italy, Liberal class, No Kings, US Empire

The “No Kings” slogan sounded promising when it exploded across the United States in 2025: a mass rejection of authoritarianism, unchecked executive power, and the cult of the strongman. But like so many liberal-led mobilizations in the Trump era, the U.S. version has revealed itself as carefully managed theater — heavy on performative outrage, light on principle, and deliberately blind to two of the greatest crimes of our time: Israel’s genocide in Gaza and the illegal U.S.-Israeli war on Iran. The contrast with the Italian “No Kings and Their Wars” mobilization in Rome could not be starker.

I Support Cuba Because I Am On The Side Of Humanity And Life

April 6, 2026 Marxlenin Pérez Valdés, Orinoco Tribune. Strategize! Book Review, Cuba, Economic Blockade, Marxism

I met Gabriel Rockhill by chance, but not by accident. We were introduced by Helen Yaffe, a dear friend of Cuba, in January of this year during the International Congress held at the University of Havana to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Tricontinental Conference (1966). The current political climate added a unique dimension to the event: those present were standing up to the recent display of aggressivity against our country, which includes the possibility of armed aggression. That is why the meeting was not by accident. It was driven by conviction.

Against The War Without End

April 3, 2026 Vijay Prashad, Tricontinental Institute for Social Research. Strategize! Food and Agriculture, Hunger, US Imperialism, Wars and Militarism

As violence spreads from the Caribbean to Western Asia, the United States and Israel’s war of aggression against Iran is paralysing the global economy. Its consequences were predictable: it was known that if the United States and Israel attacked Iran, the Strait of Hormuz – through which a quarter of global seaborne oil trade passes – would become a chokepoint. With rising oil prices, geopolitical tensions deepen. It feels like little can be done to avert the avalanche of catastrophes that Washington and Tel Aviv have unleashed on the world.

Popular Participation And Socialist Renewal In Cuba In A Time Of Crisis

April 1, 2026 Isaac Saney and James Counts Early, Black Agenda Report. Strategize! Cuba, Economic Blockade, Revolution, Socialism

Central to Cuba’s strategy is the recognition that economic stabilization cannot be imposed from above. Deputy Prime Minister Oscar Pérez Oliva Fraga emphasized that the Program operates through continuous monitoring, debate, and public discussion. This reflects the realities of Cuba’s economic situation. As a small and trade-dependent economy, the country faces enormous distortions caused by the U.S. blockade and by its forced exclusion from the international financial system. The economic war’s intensification—including Cuba’s placement on the U.S. list of state sponsors of terrorism—severely obstructs banking operations, investment flows, and basic trade.

Labor’s New Gambit To Tax The Rich

April 1, 2026 Rebecca Burns, In These Times. Strategize! Austerity, Labor Movement, State budgets, Wealth Tax

The threat of a city government shutdown loomed large in Chicago in December 2025 as the city faced an end-of-year deadline to close a projected $1.2 billion deficit. To counteract the impact of President Donald Trump’s 2025 tax law, Mayor Brandon Johnson had pitched a budget in October that would require some of the law’s biggest beneficiaries to pay more. His proposed payroll tax — on corporations with more than 1,000 employees — would, according to his administration, amount to less than 0.01% of the Trump tax cuts bestowed on companies like Google and Walmart.

Trans People Behind Bars Share How They Navigate The Dangers Of Visibility

March 31, 2026 Gabriel Arkles, Truthout. Strategize! discrimination, Prisoner rights, Trans Day of Visibility, Transgender

Today (March 31) is International Trans Day of Visibility, a day to celebrate the resilience and accomplishments of transgender people worldwide. The extraordinary accomplishments — in law, art, and beyond — of incarcerated trans people tend to receive far too little celebration. Yet many trans people in prison keep fighting for their communities, in environments where they often face violence, solitary confinement, loss of needed health care, and punishment for self-expression. Visibility can be fraught. In prisons, where staff may forcibly — and legally — strip people as a routine security precaution, visibility can be even more loaded than in the outside world.

When Black People Are Xenophobic They Risk Black Deaths In Iran

March 29, 2026 Mark P. Fancher, Black Agenda Report. Strategize! Black Liberation, Iran, Revolution, US Embassy

In recent days, Mylo Simmons has given heart-rending interviews about his only child, Master Sergeant Tyler Simmons, who perished along with five other soldiers after a refueling aircraft they were operating crashed in Iraq and rendered them casualties of the satanic imperialist/Zionist war against Iran. If we, as an African community in America, had done our job, would Simmons not only be alive, but also have never considered enlisting in the U.S. military in the first place? The U.S. military is no place for Black youth. Because the military’s sole purpose is to wage war to advance the interests of imperialism, then ipso facto the military wages war on us.

Saying No To The Empire Is Not Enough

March 29, 2026 Max Elbaum, Portside. Strategize! Anti-war Movement, Iran, Left Politics, Socialism, US Empire, Wars and Militarism

The joint US-Israeli war against Iran puts an exclamation point on the Gaza genocide. It sends a message to the world from the regimes in Washington and Tel Aviv that if you didn’t get it before, you better get it now: We will do absolutely anything that our military strength allows us to do. There are no rules or international laws we are bound to acknowledge, much less respect. You have two choices: capitulate or be destroyed. Most European governments, all too many regimes elsewhere, and major sections of the Democratic Party leadership here offer at most a few “process objections” to this level of ruthlessness but go with the flow.
