Capitalism Is Feeding The Far Right In East And West Europe

June 23, 2025 Ana Vracar, People's Dispatch. Educate! Capitalism, European Union (EU), Far Right, Fascism, Liberal class

“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.

Lawyers Fight Back

June 20, 2025 Michael Steven Smith, Alte. Resist! Democracy, Donald Trump, Fascism, Lawyers

Trump and the MAGA movement behind him have taken huge steps to upend and overturn the kind of democracy, however limited by race and class, that we have lived with since our independence from England some 250 years ago. In order to secure their rule, these fascists, like those in the Hitler movement 90 years ago, attempted to get control of the various apparatuses of our society. They aimed at the major media, the universities, the states like California, the scientific establishment, the medical profession, the cultural apparatus, the top brass in the military, and the big law firms.

For Media, Unruly Protesters Are Bigger Problem Than Police State

In the early morning of Friday, June 6, several federal agencies carried out militarized immigration raids across Los Angeles (Al Jazeera, 6/7/25). Armed and masked Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, along with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), FBI and DEA, tore through these neighborhoods in unmarked vehicles, carrying out a new method of targeted raids in workplaces like Home Depot, Ambiance Apparel and car washes (Washington Post, 6/8/25, 6/12/25, LA Times, 6/10/25). Later that morning, demonstrations formed in front of the Edward R. Roybal Federal Building and Metropolitan Detention Center, where detainees were believed to be held (Al Jazeera, 6/11/25).

Systemic Decay And The Economic Foundation Of American Fascism

If you live in the United States and feel like everything is caving in around you, like you are being attacked and fleeced from every angle, like you can’t breathe, like you can’t ever seem to catch a break despite doing everything seemingly right, like you are on the verge of a mental-health crisis and/or homelessness, your feelings are justified. We are living in the middle of widespread societal breakdown. We are witnessing the erosion of an empire. We are experiencing the effects of a rotten system (capitalism) coming to its inevitable conclusion. Simply put, the capitalist class and their two political parties have run out of ways to steal from us. Because we have nothing left for them to take. So, the system is responding like a vampire who is unable to find the blood it needs to survive… erratic, rabid, frenzied, and increasingly desperate and violent, while frantically searching for new avenues of exploitation to keep it churning.

Trump Fascism: A Reality Check

June 3, 2025 Stansfield Smith, Popular Resistance. Educate! Adolf Hitler, Democrats, Donald Trump, Fascism, Germany, Nazism

With the second coming of Trump, many who profess left credentials again proclaim fascism is back, after we voted “fascism” out in 2020. Every four years we hear the story: “this election is the most important in our lifetime.” Republicans are the new fascism, Democrats are the lesser evil. No matter corporate interests fund both parties and dictate their policies. No matter Democrat Biden green-lighted the ongoing slaughter in Gaza. No matter Biden deported more than Trump did, no matter every year the police killed more under Biden than Trump. Trump is the Hitler, not Biden. So once again, time for a reality check on actually existing fascism.

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

May 30, 2025 Ben Norton, Geopolitical Economy. Educate! Benjamin Netanyahu, Extreme Right, Far Right, Fascism, Gaza, Genocide, Israel, Palestine

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.`

A Dangerous Feminist Path Against The Grain Of Capital

May 27, 2025 Sanja Kovačević, Portside. Strategize! Fascism, Human Rights, Neoliberalism, Slovenia, Women's Activism

The Anti-Fascist Women’s Front (AFŽ) as an organisation formed in the Second World War enabled women at that time to have their say in an organised way and for that voice to be heard. They needed women so badly that they could promise them everything they needed. That organisation is the foundation of everything that emerged in socialism. But it wasn’t so simple or quick. The AFŽ was disbanded in 1954 mainly because Vida Tomšič, who was leading the organisation at the time, judged that women had become too closed off in their organisation and therefore could not achieve anything that was really important, while at the same time high politics was doing its own thing and there were no women there.

Trump’s Far-Fetched Attempt To Divide Russia And China Is Clearly Failing

US President Donald Trump claimed he would “un-unite” Russia and China. However, this divide-and-conquer strategy — which prominent US officials like Henry Kissinger have advocated since the 1970s — is clearly failing. In a meeting in Moscow celebrating the 80th anniversary of their nations’ shared victory in World War Two, Presidents Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin reaffirmed that “China-Russia relations have reached the highest level in history”. In a lengthy statement, Beijing and Moscow vowed to “jointly resist any attempts to interfere with and disrupt the traditional friendship and deep mutual trust between China and Russia”.

Class War At Universities: Workers, Students Unite Against Fascism!

May 10, 2025 Will Hodgkinson, Workers World. Strategize! Boston, Fascism, Higher Education, Solidarity, Working Class

Boston - Students, professors and workers are confronting the Trump administration’s fascist crackdown at universities across the U.S. Since President Donald Trump took office on Jan. 20, immigration officials have revoked at least 1,700 student visas. In the Boston area alone, hundreds of students at Harvard, Northeastern, Emerson, Berklee School of Music, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Tufts have already lost legal protection and face deportation. Over the past few months, authorities have kidnapped and detained dozens of students and university workers who have opposed the ongoing Zionist genocide in Palestine.

Eighty Years On: Remembering The Defeat Of Fascism

May 9, 2025 Biljana Vankovska, People's Dispatch. Educate! European Union (EU), Fascism, History, Neo-fascism, Red Army, USSR, Victory Day, Yugoslavia

As we approach a major anniversary – 80 years since the defeat of fascism – a strange silence hangs over my country, Macedonia, and the broader region we now call the territory of former Yugoslavia. National authorities have been under sustained external (Western) pressure for years: May 9 must no longer be associated with the victory over fascism. Year after year, in both public memory and the education system, May 9 has been rebranded as Europe Day. Older generations still remember, but what do younger ones know about Yugoslavia’s enormous human sacrifice, second only to the USSR, in the struggle against Evil? Almost nothing.

Abrego Garcia’s Wrongful Deportation Case More About Individual Rights Than Trump’s Foreign Policy

May 8, 2025 Chimene Keitner, Scheer Post. Educate! El Salvador, Fascism, Foreign Policy, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, Mass Deportation, Supreme Court, Trump Administration, Venezuela

Trump administration officials have repeatedly claimed that judges who order the administration to take action to bring deported Venezuelans back from the El Salvador prison where the U.S. sent them are meddling in the conduct of foreign policy. “The foreign policy of the United States is conducted by President Donald J. Trump − not by a court − and no court in the United States has a right to conduct the foreign policy of the United States,” Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on April 14. His comments refer to cases including that of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a 29-year-old Salvadoran man who was deported to El Salvador on March 15, 2025, without any due process.

I Faced Censorship And Attacks For Trying To Teach About Palestine

April 25, 2025 Michel DeGraff, Mondoweiss. Educate! Censorship, Education, Fascism, Massachusetts, MIT, Palestine, Repression

At MIT, I have witnessed firsthand how institutional priorities shift under the weight of political pressures and personal allegiances. My proposal for a course that critically engages via language and linguistics with the realities of settler colonialism vs. decolonization was not simply met with skepticism; it was censored and actively surveilled, doxed, and it is still being delegitimized. My experience is not an isolated incident, but part of a larger, systemic issue that permeates education across the United States. It is a symptom of what I have come to understand as the “Palestine exception,” where conversations surrounding Israel/Palestine are subjected to unique levels of scrutiny and suppression, from academic units, to students’ newspapers and faculty newsletters, to Executive Orders and Homeland Security.

Labour Victories, Failures And Lessons In History And Solidarity

April 12, 2025 Tom Sandborn, Rabble. Strategize! Fascism, Solidarity, Vancouver, Worker Rights and Jobs

They say that if we fail to learn the lessons of history, we are doomed to repeat it. Recent events in my hometown of Vancouver and across North America call this warning to mind today. On April 5 in Vancouver, a municipal special election saw two candidates from the more or less left end of the political spectrum, Sean Orr of the Coalition of Progressive Electors (COPE) and Lucy Maloney of the NDP-adjacent One City party, elected to city council, a result that represents a stern voters’ rebuke to the developer-friendly regime of Mayor Ken Sim and his ABC party.

The Fire This Time

We live in perilous times. The mobilizing passions of fascism are no longer a distant echo of history—they are here, surging through the United States like an electric current. We are in a period of social, ideological, and racial cleansing. First, the notion of government as a democratizing public good and institution of social responsibility—that once held power to account, protected the vulnerable, and nurtured the ideals of justice and collective responsibility—is being methodically destroyed. The common good, once seen as the essence of democratic life, has become the enemy of the neoliberal fascist state. It is not merely being neglected—it is being assaulted, stripped bare, and left to rot in the shadows of privatization, greed, and brutality—the main features of gangster capitalism.

Canada’s Support For LNG Is Support For Trump’s Fossil-Fuelled Fascism

April 4, 2025 Nick Gottlieb, Canadian Dimension. Strategize! Canada, climate crisis, Fascism, Fossil Fuels, Trump Administration

American so-called “natural gas” (the mixture of hydrocarbons made up mostly of methane) production began to explode under President Barack Obama and has continued to increase under every president since. Liquified natural gas exports, which involve an energy intensive liquefaction process that enables the gas to be shipped, kicked off around 2016 and have also climbed steadily upwards every year. The main problem that the gas industry faces is not regulation, but markets: the rate of renewable adoption in Asia is exceeding all expectations and LNG markets are expected to be dramatically oversupplied in the coming years.
