Social Power Is Built Before It Is Seen

August 7, 2026 Vijay Prashad, Tricontinental Institute for Social Research. , , ,
From the Bengal famine of 1943 to the election of the Left Front government in 1977, the communist movement in West Bengal, India, patiently built its strength among workers, peasants, refugees, students, and cultural workers. Through campaigns for food and land, the building of trade-union power, refugee mobilisation, and resistance to state repression, the left did more than win immediate demands: it created institutions of struggle, trained generations of organisers, and developed a political culture in which the grievances of different sections of people could be understood as part of a common struggle.

Open A Community Center: Reject Digital Culture

April 28, 2026 Vincent Emanuele, Grassroots Economic Organizing. , , ,
In 2016, my best friend, Sergio, and I opened P.A.R.C. (Politics, Art, Roots, Culture), a community and cultural center located in the deindustrialized landscape of Michigan City, Indiana. Like so many towns and cities throughout the Rust Belt, Michigan City was once a vibrant manufacturing hub, where people worked for the railroad companies, steel mills, and various manufacturing plants scattered about the region. Over the decades, however, Michigan City fell victim to neoliberal economic policies. Its population significantly decreased due to the offshoring of good-paying union jobs.

Inside Oakland’s Campaign To End Military Shipments To Israel

December 9, 2025 Joseph Mogul, Mondoweiss. , , , , ,
Talia Rose starts their shift at Oakland International Airport (OAK) at 3:00 a.m., unloading same-day packages from UPS planes. Across the tarmac, they watch FedEx planes come and go. “I never had any idea what the hell is on those planes besides big metal containers that carry packages,” Rose said. But that would change in August, when Rose attended a local organizing forum where a member of the Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM) presented a soon-to-be-public report titled “Exposing Oakland’s Military Cargo Shipments to Israel.”

The Right To Resist Is The Right Of The People!

October 29, 2025 International League Of Peoples' Struggle, Black Agenda Report. , , , , , ,
Just days after the Zionist entity of “Israel” signed the ceasefire agreement with the Palestinian resistance in Gaza, numerous violations were already reported, including the firing on civilians, the blocking of the full amount of daily aid convoys promised, and failure to withdraw soldiers from all areas stipulated in the ceasefire. After two years of outright genocide and over 75 years of an openly racist settler colonial regime enacting apartheid law, there is little to be surprised about regarding “Israel’s” behavior. The question is not why "Israel" has repeatedly violated its own agreements and international law, as that is to be expected from a rogue entity committing genocide.
