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

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

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

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. 

At UN, Venezuela Accuses US Of Oil Theft, Colonial Blockade

Tuesday, during an emergency United Nations Security Council (UNSC) meeting, Venezuela condemned what it called the “confession of a crime of aggression” by the United States. Ambassador Samuel Moncada detailed US crimes in region, including a declared naval blockade of Venezuela, the theft of four million barrels of Venezuelan oil, and electronic warfare in Venezuelan airspace, all of which constitute violations of international law and threats to peace. Venezuela noted that on December 16, US President Donald Trump publicly declared the following: “Today, I am ordering a total and complete blockade of all sanctioned oil tankers entering and leaving Venezuela.”

Venezuela Hopes For A New José Gregorio Hernández Miracle

On October 19, the Venezuelan people celebrated the sanctification of José Gregorio Hernández, the “doctor of the poor.” With his beatification process launched under Pope Francis, the first Venezuelan to hold this honor was in a way an “exception” to the Catholic Church’s rules: the threshold is two “miracles” attributed to the candidate, and Hernández only has one. Now, during the holiday season and with the year drawing to a close, a second miracle comes to mind: halting a foreign military operation against our country and staving off the collapse of the Venezuelan economy in the wake of the US naval blockade.

Alliance Of Sahel States Launches Unified Military Force

The Alliance of Sahel States (AES) has taken a decisive step toward regional self defense after officially launching a joint military force aimed at combating Islamist insurgency and terrorism across the Sahel. The force was inaugurated on December 20, 2025, during a ceremony held at an air base in Bamako, Mali’s capital. The ceremony was presided over by Mali’s Transitional President, Head of State, Supreme Chief of the Armed Forces, and outgoing President of the AES, Army General Assimi Goïta. The event was the formal handover of the Unified Force of the AES banner, marking the operationalization of a long-declared commitment by Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger to jointly secure their territories’ sovereignty.

What Is An Assembly? A Guide To True Democracy

Today, we hear a lot about “democracy” from politicians and the mainstream media. Just a year ago, Kamala Harris claimed the U.S. was the “greatest democracy in the history of the world.” Meanwhile Trump, in his inaugural address to his second term, preached about how his return to office would restore democracy and freedom. Democrats, meanwhile, claim that Trump is a threat to “our democracy,” using it to help make themselves seem like the lesser of two evils.  And while it’s true that he attacks democratic rights in every way, the idea that before Trump there was real democracy for the working class and oppressed is laughable.

Workers Picket American Airlines

Philadelphia — A loud, spirited picket line of hundreds of workers marched in front of American Airlines Terminal C at Philadelphia International Airport on Dec. 20, one of the busiest air travel days of the year. The protesters coordinated with other demonstrations ranging from pickets to street theater to die-ins taking place in Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis, San Francisco and Seattle the same day. The labor actions were organized to support 10,000 UNITE HERE members working for LSG Sky Chefs. They provide food and beverages served aboard flights for American, Delta, United, Alaska and other major U.S. airlines.

Christmas Is Not A Western Story; It Is A Palestinian One

Every December, much of the Christian world enters a familiar cycle of celebration: carols, lights, decorated trees, consumer frenzy and the warm imagery of a snowy night. In the United States and Europe, public discourse often speaks of “Western Christian values”, or even the vague notion of “Judeo-Christian civilisation”. These phrases have become so common that many assume, almost automatically, that Christianity is inherently a Western religion — an expression of European culture, history and identity. It is not.

‘What Is The Christian Word In The Face Of Genocide?’

Last month, 300 people—led by the Patriarchs and Heads of Churches in Palestine— gathered in Bethlehem to launch the second Kairos Palestine document: A Moment of Truth: Faith in a Time of Genocide. 140 Palestinians and 160 internationals spent the day unpacking the theological and political descriptions of the conditions that Palestinians face and attending to the indigenous church’s call for Palestinian resistance and Christian solidarity. The conference was hosted by Kairos Palestine, the largest Palestinian Christian ecumenical nonviolent movement for freedom and justice.

Venezuela Warns The World About US State-Sponsored Attacks And Piracy

Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro sent a letter on Monday to the heads of state of Latin America and the Caribbean, as well as to the 194 nations that make up the United Nations General Assembly. The document, read by Venezuelan Foreign Minister Yván Gil from the Yellow House in Caracas, warns of an escalation of aggression by the US government that threatens to destabilize the security of the entire region and the international legal order. The letter’s central complaint focuses on the US military’s so-called “Operation Southern Spear,” a naval and air deployment that includes the presence of nuclear submarines off the coast of Venezuela, under the pretext of combating drug trafficking.

Anthony Aguilar Wins Sam Adams Award For Integrity

We are honored to give this year’s award to Anthony Aguilar (LTC, USA, ret.) for exposing some of the more egregious brutalities of the genocide in Gaza, including the U.S. role. Asked why he has spoken out about what he witnessed — like the corralling of starving people into four distribution sites and sometimes shooting them indiscriminately. Aguilar explained, when “I hung up my uniform. I didn’t hang up my oath to the Constitution.” A 25-year Army Special Forces veteran, Aguilar agreed to work with the “Gaza Humanitarian Foundation” with the thought that “there is nothing more Christian than feeding the hungry.”

Germany: Critics Of The Government Are Losing Their Bank Accounts

The German Communist Party (DKP) announced earlier this month that several associated bank accounts (including that of the party executive) will be terminated as of December 31, 2025. The reasons for the account termination remain unclear and the act in itself raises more questions than answers. The case has also drawn attention to a trend in Germany that appears to be resurfacing more and more: attacks on the material foundations of actors who criticize the German government, and especially its policies on war.
