Far Right

The Far Right Is Waging A ‘Holy War’ In Latin America

A reactionary wave is sweeping across the Latin American continent. With the exception of Mexico and Brazil—the region’s two powers—as well as Uruguay and Guatemala, the remaining countries have seen authoritarian far-right governments claim electoral victories. They have done so by narrow margins, yet they hold power and give voice to a mood of resentment and anti-egalitarian political aggression among a segment of the population. We are not dealing with the traditional liberal right that characterized the triumphant neoliberalism of the 1980s.

The Ugliness Of Latin America’s Angry Tide

In August, right-wing billionaire Abelardo de la Espriella took office as Colombia’s president and vowed to move an agenda of the far right even though he won by less than a percentage point over the left-wing candidate Iván Cepeda. It is characteristic of the far right of a special type to adopt any mandate and pretend that they have the authority to transform their society into their toxic swamp. Of the twenty states generally thought of as being part of Latin America, eleven now have governments of the far right: Argentina (Javier Milei since 2023), Bolivia (Rodrigo Paz since 2025), Chile (José Antonio Kast since 2026), Colombia (de la Espriella since 2026), Costa Rica (Laura Fernández since 2026), Ecuador (Daniel Noboa since 2023), El Salvador (Nayib Bukele since 2019), Honduras (Nasry Asfura since 2026), Panama (José Raúl Mulino since 2024), Paraguay (Santiago Peña since 2023), and Peru (Keiko Fujimori since 2026).

Far Right Exploits Ceuta Incident To Call For Border Crackdown

At least 88 people died during a mass crossing from Morocco into Ceuta, a North Africa territory administered by Spain, late last week. According to local reports, over 65,000 people entered Ceuta on July 30-31. The event was weaponized by far-right and right-wing groups worldwide to criticize Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez’s administration, while progressives warned such events are bound to increase under the European Union’s increasingly dehumanized approach to migration.  Last week’s images show thousands of people stranded in Ceuta, many having arrived without any belongings.

The Ruins Of Neoliberalism And Militarism In Asia

“All along the Sri Lankan coast, you’ll see old forts. These are the forts of the various colonial powers – the Portuguese, the Dutch, and the English. They are in ruins. There are now proposals to restore them and beautify them for tourism purposes. But actually, they should be left just as they are, ruins. Because that is the only true legacy that colonialism deserves in Sri Lanka.” Dr. Ahilan Kadirgamar, senior lecturer in the Department of Sociology at the University of Jaffna, Sri Lanka made this striking statement at the “Hands Off Asia” Conference in Colombo, Sri Lanka.

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

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.

Gangster Capitalism And Corruption In Trump’s America

Corruption has never been far from the center of American politics. Some of the most notorious scandals stretch from the cronyism of Warren G. Harding to the abuses of power exposed during the Watergate scandal under Richard Nixon. Yet many historians argue that what distinguishes Donald Trump from earlier corrupt presidencies is that corruption no longer operates behind closed doors, shielded by the liberal rituals of institutional legitimacy and the euphemisms of political decorum. Under Trump, corruption is performed openly as spectacle, celebrated as a sign of strength, wealth, vengeance, and personal loyalty.

Trump Plans Anti-Anti-Fascist Summit As Capitalist Crisis Deepens

In what can only be described as an acceleration and expansion of the bellicose and dangerous far-right populist movement around the globe, the U.S. government of Donald Trump is reportedly seeking to build an international coalition to oppose the anti-fascist left. Washington says U.S. counterterrorism officials are organizing a summit in the summer to discuss and develop “strategies to counter the anti-fascist movement.” White House and State Department officials have described such groups as a “serious threat to national security,” lumping together “anarchists, Marxists, and violent extremists.”

Debunked Far-Right Claims In Minnesota Lead To Anti-Somali Hate

Minneapolis, Minn.—The Trump administration and MAGA are pulling out all the stops in their attacks on Minnesota—the Nick Shirley daycare fraud “investigation,” a pause on federal child care funding, the “largest ever” ICE enforcement effort, and unprecedented racist attacks on Somali immigrants. They’re all part of a continued effort by the right to push the deportation agenda in a Democratic-governed state, defund programs that working people rely on, and flip Minnesota to the Republican column in the 2026 midterm elections.

Racists Converge On Dearborn; Protesters And Community Fight Back

Dearborn, MI – On November 18, 20 protesters met at the Arab American Museum in Dearborn to confront a hate march put on by right-wingers who called for end to “Islamification.” Islamophobic marchers managed to gather a group of 30 people. The march was initially spearheaded by Anthony Hudson, an “America First” gubernatorial candidate who tried to recant his claims that Dearborn was under “Sharia law” – only to still face the protest anyways. Given Dearborn is home to many Arab and Muslim residents, the community took the threats made by Hudson and January 6 insurrectionist Jake Lang seriously and came out in crowds.

Manufactured ‘Hat Movement’ Rage Distracts Mexico’s Working Youth

The clashes in Mexico City’s Zócalo were dramatic, a spectacle of generational fury broadcast around the world. Thousands of young Mexicans, many sporting the wide-brimmed straw hats that have become a defiant symbol, marched under the banner of the so-called 15N “Hat Movement.” Triggered by the assassination of opposition mayor Carlos Manzo, the demonstration quickly became a furious call for President Claudia Sheinbaum’s resignation, complete with skirmishes against police and the unexpected sight of the One Piece pirate flag flying high above the turmoil. For many observers outside of Mexico, this looked like a spontaneous, organic youth rebellion against insecurity and corruption. But the political reality is far more complex.

Venezuelan Coup Leader Maria Corina Machado Vows To Privatize Oil

The 2025 Nobel Peace Prize was given to María Corina Machado, a far-right, pro-war Venezuelan opposition leader who has been funded by the US government for more than two decades. Machado has helped to lead numerous violent coup attempts in Venezuela, in 2002, 2014, 2017, 2019, and again today. She is now at the center of the US government’s regime-change war against Venezuela. In an interview with Donald Trump Jr. in February 2025, Machado made it clear that she wants to privatize Venezuela’s state-owned oil industry and sell off the South American nation’s natural resources to US corporations.

How The Far-Right Is Orchestrating A Climate Backlash In Europe

The far-right Patriots for Europe (PfE), currently the third-largest group in the European Parliament, achieved a major victory in July. The group will lead negotiations on the EU’s 2040 climate target – a powerful role that will allow it to draft the Parliament’s position on the EU’s climate policies. This appointment signals a turning point. After years on the political fringes, the far-right now holds tangible influence over the EU’s climate agenda, and plans to use this newfound power to “call for a genuine overhaul of EU climate policy,” the group declared on X.

Capitalism Is Feeding The Far Right In East And West Europe

“If capitalism doesn’t resolve the crisis, people might remember socialism,” reflected Gyula Thürmer of the Hungarian Workers’ Party during a discussion on the far right in Europe. He was speaking at the Fascism Back in Europe? conference, organized by the Zetkin Forum in Berlin from June 20-22. His comment encapsulated one of the lingering themes of the conference: how the economic crisis, corporate domination, and historical revisionism are fueling the rise of authoritarian and far-right forces across both Eastern and Western Europe. In addition to Thürmer, speakers at the conference such as Vladimir Bortun, Jelena Đureinović, and Florian Nowicki traced how decades of austerity, deindustrialization, and the dominance of international capital have devastated working-class communities in Eastern Europe, creating fertile ground for nationalist, authoritarian politics.

The Latest Chapter In The US Plunder Of CITGO

The auction of CITGO Petroleum, a key subsidiary of Petróleos de Venezuela (PDVSA) in the United States and illegally seized by the US government, is in its final stages, marking a crucial moment not only for Venezuela but also for other countries with investments in the US. According to recent reports, the judicial process, which will culminate in the illegal sale of Citgo, is continuing despite protests from President Nicolás Maduro’s government. The company, which owns strategic refineries in Texas, Louisiana, and Illinois, represents Venezuela’s most valuable asset outside its borders, with a significant pipeline network and more than 4,000 gas stations in the United States.

Poll: 82% Of Israelis Want To Expel Palestinians From Gaza

Support for genocide, mass murder, and ethnic cleansing is widespread in Israel. Israel’s former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert admitted that his country is waging a “war of extermination: the indiscriminate, unrestrained, cruel, and criminal killing of civilians”. Meanwhile, the vast majority of Israelis want to expel Palestinians from Gaza, and roughly half want to kill every single man, woman, and child in the besieged strip. This is according to a poll that was published by the major Israeli newspaper Haaretz. It found that 82% of Israelis want to expel Gazans, and 47% of support killing all Palestinians in Gaza. The more religious an Israeli is, the more likely they are to support genocide and ethnic cleansing.`
