The Imperialist Offensive Is Nothing New For The Bolivarian Revolution

October 26, 2025 Cira Pasqual Marquina, Venezuelanaysis. , , , ,
In recent months, Washington has stepped up its military presence in the Caribbean, sending warships, aircraft, and even a nuclear submarine to waters near Venezuela amid extrajudicial attacks on fishing vessels. For many, this new phase of aggression is all too familiar — part of a decades-long campaign of hybrid warfare designed to undermine Venezuela’s sovereignty. In this context, Cira Pascual Marquina spoke with Ana Maldonado, a sociologist, international relations coordinator for the Francisco de Miranda Front—a national Chavista movement—and member of the Venezuelan chapter of ALBA Movements. In this interview, Maldonado offers her perspective on how Venezuelans are experiencing the latest imperialist escalation, reflects on the country’s long resistance to hybrid war.

Inside The Fight For Radical Democracy In Britain’s New Left Party

October 25, 2025 Adam Ay, Waging Nonviolence. , , ,
How do you distill the hopes and dreams of nearly one million supporters, build a political party that accurately reflects them, and do so in a matter of months? With its founding conference imminent, and a surprisingly vast base of support eager to feed into it, this was the quandary that Your Party, Britain’s brand new left-wing party, found itself in this summer.  One person who had a solution was Roger Hallam. The totemic climate activist, co-founder of Extinction Rebellion and Just Stop Oil, believed the party needed to do something both mundane and radical. It had to put its faith in local assemblies — meetings where ordinary people come together to discuss issues and find solutions.

Seven Theses On The Gen Z Uprisings In The Global South

October 24, 2025 Vijay Prashad, Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research. , , ,
The walls of Santiago, Chile – the city where I live – are marked with faded graffiti from the estallido social (social uprising) of 2019. Years later, these slogans continue to spill onto the sidewalks, from Nos quitaron tanto que nos quitaron hasta el miedo (they took so much from us that they even took away our fear) to No son 30 pesos, son 30 años (it’s not 30 pesos; it’s 30 years). Both slogans refer to the 30 years of neoliberal austerity imposed on the Chilean people, including a 30-peso hike on the price of metro tickets and deep cuts to the country’s social wage system. The uprising was led by high school students born between 2001 (age 18) and 2005 (age 14), who are part of Generation Z or ‘Gen Z’.

How ‘No Kings’ Takes The ‘Move’ Out Of Movements

October 24, 2025 Anthony Karefa Rogers-Wright, Black Agenda Report. , , ,
In his landmark speech delivered to the first Tricontinental Conference of the Peoples of Asia, Africa and Latin America held in Havana in January, 1966, Amilcar Cabral appealed to attendees, “We are not going to use this platform to rail against imperialism. An African saying very common in our country says: "When your house is burning, it’s no use beating the tom-toms.” He continued, "On a Tricontinental level, this means that we are not going to eliminate imperialism by shouting insults against it.” Last weekend a series of events across the United States branded as “No Kings” developed by the 50501 group (vis a vis Indivisible) garnered an estimated seven million attendees.

This Is The Moment To Scale Up Mobilizations For Palestine

October 24, 2025 Ana Vračar, People's Dispatch. , , , , , , ,
It was a great honor to join the “Conscience”, a large ship with 92 participants. We were mainly medics and journalists because we wanted to emphasize that these are the two professions most targeted during the genocide in Gaza. We wanted to show solidarity with our colleagues there. Almost all participants had direct links with people in Gaza through humanitarian work or Palestinian NGOs like Awda Association. Several doctors on board had worked in Gaza during the genocide, and many journalists were in touch with Palestinian citizen journalists and local news agencies. We wanted to reach Gaza to report and to offer medical assistance: that was the core message of the “Conscience”. Normally, in any conflict, humanitarian workers and journalists have access to document conditions and preserve the right to health.

How General Soleimani Cemented Venezuela-Iran Anti-Imperialist Alliance

October 23, 2025 Musa Iqbal, Orinoco Tribune. , , ,
This solidarity, forged in the people’s common struggle against Western sanctions and military aggression, combined with a history of resilience against invaders, represents a strategic partnership that transcends geographical and cultural divides. Both nations, rich in natural resources yet burdened by external pressures that seek to dominate them, have cultivated a relationship that encompasses economic cooperation, military collaboration, and diplomatic support. From joint ventures in energy to coordinated efforts in international forums, the Iran-Venezuela partnership exemplifies a broader trend of South-South cooperation, a shift that is rapidly challenging American hegemony.

No Kings And The Lure Of Spectacle

October 22, 2025 Margaret Kimberley, Black Agenda Report. , , ,
Many years ago the late Glen Ford, then the Black Agenda Report executive editor, related his experience with the One Million Man March, which took place on October 16, 1995, in Washington, DC. It was organized by Minister Louis Farrakhan of the Nation of Islam and was meant to be a day for Black men to “atone” for what were said to be their shortcomings. There were a multitude of opinions about whether Black men had to atone for anything at all, or whether its male orientation was sexist, or whether Farrakhan should have been the organizer. But on that day, the controversy was forgotten as somewhere between 500,000 and 1 million men attended.

Craig Murray: 36-Minute Trials And No Jury

October 22, 2025 Craig Murray, Consortium News. , , , , ,
Those charged with terrorism for supporting Palestine Action will have no jury in trials limited to 36 minutes each, with prison sentences up to six months. These are the plans for Starmer Courts for mass trials of anti-Genocide protestors. The plans are devised by Justice Michael Snow. He is the epitome of judicial prejudice. When Julian Assange appeared before Snow in the first hearing after being dragged from the Embassy, Snow called Assange a “narcissist” even though Assange had said nothing but to confirm his name, and no evidence had been led.

Repoliticizing A Generation

October 22, 2025 Amber Murrey, Africa Is A Country. , , ,
Yesterday marked the 38th anniversary of the assassination of Thomas Sankara, who, on October 15, 1987, was killed alongside twelve of his comrades during a coup led by Blaise Compaoré. Sankara’s brief but transformative presidency (1983–1987) reoriented Burkina Faso’s political economy toward self-reliance, gender equality, ecological stewardship, and non-alignment in global affairs. For more than three decades, Aziz Salmone Fall, a pan-African activist, political scientist, and coordinator of the International Campaign Justice for Sankara (ICJS), has worked with Sankara’s family, Burkinabè activists, and international allies to demand truth and accountability.

Overcoming Divisions And Building Power For The Just Green Transition

October 22, 2025 Lina M. Pitz, Resilience. , , ,
The working class: a major social group in any industrialised country, and historically a left-wing subject at the centre of demands for a worker controlled economy and better welfare, is now a growing base of support for right-wing parties. It is becoming essential for their electoral success across Europe, courted by these parties’ seeming concern for protecting wealth and jobs.[1] Climate activists on the other hand are increasingly demonised as fanatic eco-terrorists in mainstream media whose demands are framed as extremist and harmful to working people, making them seem like an out-of-touch elite of students and academics.

Madagascar Erupts, Indian Ocean Power Dynamics In Flux

October 21, 2025 Aidan J. Simardone, The Cradle. , , , ,
After weeks of protests and a mutiny, former Madagascar president Andry Rajoelina boarded a French military plane and fled the country. With a public angry at a corrupt, western-aligned government, Madagascar has the potential to shape its future and the whole Indian Ocean. This development comes as global powers scramble for strategic access in a region that holds five of the world’s nine maritime chokepoints. India, China, and the US are expanding their naval and commercial footprint, while France – once the uncontested gatekeeper of these waters – finds itself besieged and in retreat.

Recognizing Palestinian Statehood Is The Floor

October 19, 2025 Hend Salama Abo Helow, Truthout. , , , , ,
Since I first opened my eyes to this world as a third-generation refugee, I was taught that the notorious Balfour Declaration had brought upon us this long, unrelenting history of suffering. Issued in 1917, the statement declared the British government’s support for the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine. It blatantly denied our existence in our own homeland, instead granting the Jewish people the right to establish their nation on land that is ours — under cover of the myth of “a land without a people for a people without a land.” Our homeland, with its people, was then presented on a gilded plate to Zionist militias and, eventually, the state of Israel, both of which wasted no time in massacring and displacing the Indigenous population during the Nakba and beyond.

Fighting The Arms Trade: An Inside Job?

October 19, 2025 Ben Cowles, Morning Star Online. , , ,
"You're just a war criminal,” the heckler said, appearing seemingly from nowhere. “If you’re working inside the arms industry, that makes you a war criminal. You’re complicit with imperialism,” she said, directing her ire at the Unite union rep sitting next to me. “How am I?” he asked as the rest of the table fell into an awkward silence. The rep was one of the speakers at a panel discussion at The World Transformed (TWT) Festival 2025 in Manchester last Saturday, focused on opposing militarism. His name and employer did not appear on TWT’s programme listing for the event, and so we’d better keep his identity anonymous here too.

Artificial Intelligence: Principles To Protect Workers

October 19, 2025 AFL-CIO, Portside. , , ,
There is a path where new technology makes work better and safer, with good union jobs that have fair pay and better job quality. In this vision, working people have economic security, knowing that companies and public agencies must follow rules to make sure technology such as artificial intelligence (AI) is used safely, responsibly, and fairly. These rules put people first, and include worker input in the research and development (R&D) process, during development and deployment, and at the collective bargaining table where they negotiate protections with employers. There is accountability with meaningful enforcement so that employers think twice before designing or using AI systems that hurt workers or communities.

Thousands Of Film Workers Pledge To End Complicity With Genocide

October 17, 2025 William Johnson, Mondoweiss. , , , , , , ,
In recent months, a wave of artists throughout the entertainment industry has begun speaking out against Israel’s genocide in Gaza. On September 8, more than 1,200 film workers — including A-list stars like Olivia Colman, Tilda Swinton, and Riz Ahmed — publicly pledged to refuse any work with Israeli film companies that are “implicated in genocide and apartheid against the Palestinian people.” Since September, thousands more filmworkers have signed onto the pledge, with the number of signatories now exceeding 5,000. “Both the language of this pledge, which echoes the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement’s emphasis on institutional complicity, and its material commitment to reject offers to work with nearly all Israeli film companies, represent a significant shift for a film world dominated by executives who have either remained silent about or vocally supported Israel’s genocide in Gaza for the past two years.
