The War On The Poor Is Escalating

July 12, 2026 John Clarke, Canadian Dimension. Strategize! Austerity, Capitalism, Homeless, Housing, Poverty

We are now living in a period when poverty, homelessness, and social abandonment have reached crisis levels and the need for a united working-class challenge to this state of affairs is more important than ever. The official discourse in our society is geared to the proposition that poverty and homelessness stem from personal failings, if not moral dereliction. This assumption is shared by both right-wing and more liberal commentators, even if it is expressed by them in significantly different terms. The right-wingers simply condemn the poor as the architects of their own misfortune and seek to impose the full burden of austerity measures on them, backed up, of course, by generous doses of aggressive policing and prison sentences.

The Yippies And The Power Of Counterculture

July 11, 2026 Shane Burley, Waging Nonviolence. Strategize! Book Review, Counterculture, History, Radical activism, Yippies

Since President Donald Trump’s second inauguration, an authoritarian presidency has been accompanied by a brutal crackdown on social movements. While there are strikingly new features of Trump’s reign, many of the assaults on freedom and the persecution of activists have parallels in the histories of U.S. imperialism, the anti-Vietnam war movement and the New Left of the 1960s and 1970s, and the rise of the right in the 1980s. And many of the questions organizers are asking today were in debate then. How do you balance militant activism with the need to build a mass movement?

Data Centers Enter The Battlefield

July 10, 2026 Kamran Yeganegi, The Cradle. Strategize! Artificial Intelligence, Data Centers, Wars and Militarism, West Asia

For decades, wars in West Asia revolved around familiar strategic targets: air bases, naval facilities, oil terminals, and the maritime chokepoints that carried much of the world's energy supply. Military planners understood that control over these assets shaped the regional balance of power. The latest US-Israeli war on Iran points to another layer of infrastructure entering that equation. As missiles crossed the skies across multiple fronts, attention centered on air defenses, retaliation, and the risk of escalation. Yet beneath the visible battlefield, another strategic contest was becoming increasingly apparent.

Colombia’s Left After The 2026 Election

July 10, 2026 Teri Mattson, Orinoco Tribune. Strategize! Colombia, Elections, Latin America, Left Politics, Pink Tide

Within hours of Colombia’s June 21 presidential runoff, major international news organizations declared the country’s conservative candidate the victor. Political commentators across the hemisphere described the result as another blow to Latin America’s progressive “Pink Tide” and another victory for the global right. Yet on the streets of Bogotá, where international election observers continued watching the vote count unfold, the mood was markedly different. The official scrutiny process was still underway. Progressive candidate Iván Cepeda had not yet conceded.

Philadelphia Hot ‘Strike Summer’ Rages On

July 9, 2026 Emma Glazer and Angel Rodriguez Gomez, People's World. Strategize! Philadelphia, Strikes, Unions, Victory, Worker Rights, world cup

Philadelphia—So far, it’s been “strike summer” here in Philadelphia. As the city prepared to take the global stage for the 2026 World Cup and the nation’s 250th anniversary, the battle lines of the class struggle were squared up across the city. On one side stood corporations raking in ever-increasing, record-breaking profits. On the other side stood the workers—the bedrock of the city’s economy—holding the line on the pavement in oppressive, historic heatwaves. Anticipating a massive influx of international tourists and booming profits for local hospitality monopolies ahead of the World Cup and America 250 celebrations, hotel workers, organized with Unite HERE Local 274, took the offensive by announcing their intent to strike.

Debt Relief In The Global South Would Benefit People In The US

July 7, 2026 Aldo Caliari, Inequality.org. Strategize! Austerity, Congress, Debt Relief, Global South, Taxpayers

Amidst a succession of financial shocks, the Middle East war being only the most recent, developing countries’ debt levels are alarmingly high and continuing to rise. These burdens make it even more difficult for governments in the Global South to meet the basic needs of their populations. And because the world is inter-connected through international trade and financial markets, these developing country debts boomerang back to harm ordinary people in the United States and other advanced economies as well. To effectively address this growing crisis, we need to recognize that the debt landscape is very different today than it was in the late 1990s/early 2000s.

Hybrid Warfare Hell

July 5, 2026 Rosa Miriam Elizalde, Struggle - La Lucha. Strategize! Cuba, Economic Blockade, Hybrid Warfare, United Nations

Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla stepped up the tone of his condemnation, stating that the U.S. government’s aggression against the island is “multidimensional.” Therefore, at a press conference on June 30, he announced that Cuba had requested a session of the United Nations General Assembly for July 7, with the aim of bringing the impact of the economic and energy blockade to the attention of the international community, while the State Department is taking steps to halt the debate at the UN. We have heard the terms “hybrid war” or “multidimensional war” many times, but their nature and manifestation are not explained.

US Empire Crumbling: A New World In Birth

July 4, 2026 Larry Holmes, Workers World. Strategize! Global South, International Solidarity, Social Movements, Socialism, US Empire

The biggest significance of the 250th anniversary of the U.S. is that the world dominated by the U.S. Empire is ending. This is like a giant dam breaking, a dam that had at once been a catalyst for change but has also stifled it. The impact of this is as enormous as it is unpredictable. It could be that what the world needs, what revolutionaries have dreamed about and dedicated our lives to, is no longer unthinkable in the foreseeable future. This is the time for revolutionary forces everywhere to ask themselves, “What is our new political orientation for the post-U.S. Empire world that is coming into being?”

It’s The Message Not The Messenger

July 2, 2026 Dr. Wilmer J. Leon, III, Popular Resistance. Strategize! Black America, Black misleadership class, Democratic Party, Elections

No matter what you call it, no matter what you call them, those who are championing civil rights, workers’ rights, equal pay for equal work, an end to these senseless, illegal and immoral wars of choice should be listened to. There is a new politics developing and members of the African American electorate should be paying attention because the constituents are not being paid by AIPAC to vote against their own interests and the interests of their community. Too many so-called people in positions of leadership are. Remember, it’s not the messenger, it’s the message.

Finding Real National Pride On America’s 250th Birthday

July 1, 2026 Sarah Van Gelder, Waging Nonviolence. Strategize! American genocide, American Revolution, Fourth of July, Racism, Reparations, Slavery

During this year of celebrating our nation’s 250th anniversary, I’ve been experiencing an unexpected emotion: pride. For months, it’s been something far different — a mixture of disappointment, disbelief and disgust at the undermining of our freedoms, our wellbeing, our children’s futures and even our prospects for survival. But recently, something shifted for me. I saw the excitement and global unity of World Cup fans. I talked to small business owners here in my small town in Washington state who were placing signs in their windows to let immigrants know they are welcome.

Solidarity Strikes And Taft-Hartley’s Long Shadow

June 30, 2026 Hayley Brown, Counter Punch. Strategize! Labor Movement, Strikes, Taft-Hartley Act, Unions

This week marks the anniversary of the enactment of one of the most consequential pieces of labor legislation in US history. The Labor Management Relations Act, better known as the Taft-Hartley Act, was passed over President Truman’s veto on June 23, 1947, and substantially narrowed the forms of collective action protected under federal labor law. The Taft-Hartley Act provided employers with a myriad of new legal weapons while suppressing some of organized labor’s most powerful tactics, dramatically reshaping the US labor landscape.

This July 4, Celebrate That The People Are Supposed To Be In Charge

June 30, 2026 By Michael Chameides, Meg Bostrom, and Elaine Mejia, Inequality. Org. Strategize! Democracy, Fourth of July, popular power, Ruling Elites

Two hundred fifty years ago, Americans rejected monarchy. They rejected the idea that power should rest in the hands of one person, one family, or a distant ruling class. Instead, they enshrined an American promise: legitimate power comes from the people. Our Constitution opens with three words: “We the People.” As the country marks its 250th anniversary, that promise is worth remembering: in America, the people are supposed to be in charge. Indeed, every day we see neighbors working together to improve their lives, their communities, and the country.

‘Catabolic Capitalism’: How Capitalism Profits From Collapse

June 29, 2026 Craig Collins, Resilience. Strategize! Capitalism, climate crisis, Finite Planet, Growth

For most of the modern era, capitalism justified itself through growth. Industrial societies converted vast amounts of fossil energy into production, wealth, and rising living standards. Roads, bridges, power grids, schools, and public institutions expanded alongside the economy. Inequality and exploitation remained deeply embedded in the system, but they were partly obscured by a broader story of material progress. That story is beginning to unravel. Across much of the developed world, economic life increasingly feels less like construction than demolition. Infrastructure deteriorates. Public institutions struggle to perform basic functions.

For A Pride Against Capitalism, Imperialism, And The Far Right

June 28, 2026 Jorge Remacha and Chris Amelio Castaneda, Left Voice. Strategize! Capitalism, Far Right, Imperialism, LGBTQ Rights, Pride Month

Pride has its roots in the 1969 Stonewall uprising in New York City, when the LGBTQ+ community, Black and Latino youth, and trans and gender-nonconforming people fought back against police brutality, state harassment, and the criminalization of their lives. This year, we must honor this spirit, recognizing that the fight for sexual and gender liberation is part of the international struggle to overthrow the exploitative and oppressive capitalist system. In recent decades, the crisis of neoliberalism has led governments across the world to attack the living conditions of the working majority, all while ramping up its imperialist wars and plunder.

From Brain Capture To Intellectual Sovereignty

June 26, 2026 Vijay Prashad, Tricontinental Institute or Social Research. Strategize! Colonialism, Debt, Finance and the Economy, International Monetary Fund

Two decades ago, I was in South Africa with the Malawian economist Thandika Mkandawire (1940–2020). We were talking about his generation of scholars, who came of age during the national liberation movements. We had in mind people such as the Egyptian economist Samir Amin (1931–2018), Brazilian economists Ruy Mauro Marini (1932–1997) and Vânia Bambirra (1940–2015), Pakistani political scientist Eqbal Ahmad (1934–1999), South African anthropologist Archie Mafeje (1936–2007), and Nigerian political scientist Claude Ake (1939–1996).
