Understanding The Relationship Between Zionism And Fascism

December 28, 2025 Alana Lentin, Mondoweiss. Educate! Fascism, History, Israel, Palestine, Zionism

Despite the mutual admiration of Zionists and fascists, both historically and in the present, it is generally considered unhelpful to characterize Zionism as fascism. However, viewing fascism from the perspective of the Black radical tradition, with its emphasis on racialism, colonialism and imperialism, rooted in supremacist ideas of western civilization, helps make fascism a useful concept for understanding Zionism. In popular definitions of fascism it is detached from nationalism and associated most strongly with authoritarianism. Israel’s self-presentation as a liberal democracy, the result of a national self-determination project, and even an anticolonial Indigenous manifestation, conflicts with dominant ideas of what fascism is.

When The USSR And China Saved Humanity

December 27, 2025 Ben Norton, Geopolitical Economy. Educate! China, Fascism, History, Imperialism, Soviet Union, USSR, World War Two, WWII

2025 marked the 80th anniversary of the defeat of fascism in World War Two. Unfortunately, the history of this extremely important conflict is not very well understood today. It was not the United States and its Western allies that defeated fascism in WWII. That is a myth that is promoted by Hollywood movies. In reality, it was the Soviet Union and China that defeated fascism in WWII. However, their heroic contribution was later erased by the West, when the US waged the First Cold War against the global socialist movement. The vast majority — approximately 80% — of Nazi casualties were on the Eastern Front, in the Third Reich’s savage, scorched-earth battles against the Soviet Red Army.

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

December 24, 2025 Rev Dr Munther Isaac, Al Jazeera. Resist! Christmas, History, Middle East, Palestine

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.

Malcolm X’s Daughters Sue NYPD, FBI About Their Role In His Assassination

December 21, 2025 Michael Smith, The Indypendent. Resist! FBI, History, Legal System, Malcolm X, NYPD

Malcolm X was assassinated 60 years ago in the Audubon Ballroom in Harlem. Assassination is a political murder. Will the truth about the role of the NYPD and the FBI in the murder and coverup finally come out? Malcolm X‘s daughters are plaintiffs in a lawsuit in Federal District Court in New York City to expose the NYPD and the FBI. They have retained some of the great police misconduct litigators in the country including Chicago attorneys Flint Taylor and Ben Elson of the Peoples Law Office (PLO), Jonathan Moore and Luna Droubi in New York City, nationally recognized civil rights attorney Ben Crump and his associate Nabeha Shaer, and Newark attorney Ray Hamlin, who has represented the family for years.

Debunking The Myth: Communism Killed 100 Million People

December 14, 2025 Esha, Historic.ly. Educate! Communism, History, Nazism, Propaganda

The fundamental flaw in the “100 million deaths” narrative: it treats political ideology as a kind of metaphysical cause of death. Policies are lifted out of context, conditions are ignored, and complex histories are reduced to an inflated scoreboard where people prosecuted for crimes that would be illegal anywhere are reframed as victims of communist persecution. In that same 1997 edition of the Black Book of Communism, Courtois again asserts that “communist regimes committed crimes involving around one hundred million people, compared to around twenty-five million under Nazism.”

Learning From UAW History And Taking Control Of Work Reductions

December 14, 2025 Nevena Pilipovic-Wengler and Andrew Bergman, Left Voice. Strategize! Capitalism, History, Job Banks, Layoffs, United Auto Workers (UAW), Worker Rights and Jobs

On the morning of October 29, autoworkers at Factory Zero, the GM electric vehicle plant in Detroit, received an urgent notification about the status of our two-month temporary layoff. For over 1,100 of us working in the plant, the news was that we would have to return to work on Thanksgiving week, only to be indefinitely laid off in January. As the bosses reduce production from two shifts down to one, the holidays are bringing uncertainty and precarity, rather than comfort and stability. Over the past year, hundreds of workers at Factory Zero have already been impacted by rolling layoffs and termination of temporary workers, often announced without notice.

What A Century-Old Press Service Teaches Us About Worker Power

December 12, 2025 Victoria Grieve, Power At Work. Educate! History, Journalism, Labor Movement, Media, Women, Worker Rights and Jobs

This won’t come as a surprise to union activists, but the mainstream press doesn’t always fairly represent the labor movement. That was true in 1919, the year the Federated Press (FP) was founded, and it remains true today. The FP was created to counteract the anti-labor bias in the mainstream press during the post-World War I strike wave. At the first convention of the Farmer-Labor Party, a coalition of labor activists, editors, and socialists hatched the idea for a cooperative, labor-oriented press service that would provide national and international news to subscribing labor newspapers. Imagine the Associated Press, but written by and for labor.

Chris Hedges Report: How Palestinian History Is Systemically Forgotten

December 3, 2025 Chris Hedges, Substack. Resistance Report Book Review, Chris Hedges, History, Palestine

“How do we understand now if we don’t understand 1948 or 1917 or all the things that happened during the British Mandate?” This is a central question Micaela Sahhar, author and educator, asks while dissecting her book, Find Me at the Jaffa Gate. Sahhar reframes these monumental events in Palestinian history through an intimate, granular lens of her own family’s displacement during the 20th century. Sahhar joins host Chris Hedges on this episode of The Chris Hedges Report, sharing more personal narratives, revealing how her family lived through the pivotal moments that shaped modern Palestine.

Two Peace Prizes: Nobel Legitimizes War While US Peace Prize Honors Resistance

November 30, 2025 Roger D. Harris, Popular Resistance. Educate! History, Nobel Peace Prize, US Peace Memorial Foundation, Wars and Militarism

The Nobel Peace Prize was established in 1901. In the decades that followed, Mahatma Gandhi emerged as the international symbol of world peace for resistance to the dominant imperialism of his time – the British Empire. He was never recognized by the Nobel Committee. The Nobel Committee has honored figures ranging from the admirable Martin Luther King Jr. to the war criminal Henry Kissinger. Barack Obama received the prize after less than nine months in office, a “premature canonization” for not being George W. Bush. He then used his acceptance speech to justify US military invention.

40-Year Fight Against Cluster Bombs; Lessons To Stop US-Israel Weapons Pipeline

November 30, 2025 Joseph Mogul, NationofChange. Strategize! Anti-war Movement, Cluster Bombs, History, Israel, Palestine, Protests

After more than two years of Israel’s genocide in Gaza, popular outrage has mounted against the weapons manufacturers enabling the slaughter. The antiwar movement in the United States has begun targeting local nodes of the weapons supply chain in cities from Oakland to Brooklyn and Boston. These campaigns have deployed a breadth of strategies: pressuring local municipalities to divest, physically disrupting the supply chain through direct action, encouraging airports to adopt arms embargo policies and demanding public and private industrial landlords evict weapons companies.

Communism Defeated Fascism Eighty Years Ago

November 28, 2025 Vijay Prashad, Tricontinental Institute for Social Research. Strategize! China, Communism, Fascism, History, Russia

On 13 November, at the Global South Academic Forum in Shanghai, China, we released our latest study, The 80th Anniversary of the Victory in the World Anti-Fascist War – Understanding Who Saved Humanity: A Restorationist History. An edited version of my keynote speech ‘Two Lies and an Enormous Truth’, delivered to introduce the study, is reproduced here. In early August 1942, the Soviets set up loudspeakers across Leningrad. The city had been under siege for over 300 days. People were starving. The conductor, Karl Eliasberg, kept the Leningrad Radio Orchestra going by holding rehearsals and personally taking his musicians to feeding stations.

Thanksgiving: Part Of ‘Broken Circle Holiday’

November 27, 2025 LaNada War Jack, Native News Online. Educate! American genocide, History, Indigenous Sovereignty, Native Americans, Thanksgiving

Traditional American Thanksgiving acknowledges a feast shared between Pilgrims and Indigenous Native people. We know our people assisted with the early immigration process of those people arriving from Europe because they were pitiful, hungry and starving. We were kind and loving people who helped them. However, once they got a foothold, they tried to completely extinguish us, stole our lands and now we are supposed to be thankful. This runs similar to the “Redskin” mascot Issue or the “Columbus Day” celebration of genocide.

International Israeli Occupying Forces Volunteers: Today’s ‘Sniper Tourists’

November 24, 2025 James Ray, Orinoco Tribune. Educate! Bosnia, History, Israel, Militourism, Palestine, Snipers, Zionism

“I think those are bullet holes.” Those were the first words I muttered to my classmate on the bus into Sarajevo, Bosnia, during a brief visit in 2019. We had flown in from Frankfurt, Germany, as part of a study abroad program researching the interactions between the European Union (EU) and the post-Yugoslav and post-Soviet spheres. The program, as we quickly learned, amounted more to a lesson in how the German-dominated EU exploited the people of former communist projects for its own economic gain. Still, in the moment, all we could think of was how beautiful and, at the same time, damaged the city we were entering truly was.

Education Dismantling Ignores Tribal Nations

November 24, 2025 Levi Rickert, Native News Online. Educate! Department of Education, Education, History, Indigenous Peoples

As Congress weighed releasing the Epstein files last week, the Trump administration quietly announced plans to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education — shifting programs that serve Native students to other agencies without consulting a single tribe. Call it what you want: a strategic distraction, a bureaucratic reshuffling or business as usual for this administration. For Indian Country, it’s a violation of federal law. Tuesday’s announcement transferred key programs that serve Native students from the Department of Education to the departments of the Interior and Labor, with additional programs reassigned to Health and Human Services and the State Department.

The Consequences Of Imperialist Arrogance

November 17, 2025 Stephen Sefton, Tortilla con Sal. Educate! Capitalism, Energy, European Union (EU), Foreign Policy, History, Oil and Gas, Western imperialism

In almost all the tragedies of ancient Greek theater, the protagonist has committed a fatal moral offense which leads them to a deadly outcome, almost always facilitated by their overweening arrogance. In the case of the progressive collapse of the collective West, one is dealing with five centuries of countless crimes of genocidal conquest and slavery. But their hateful culture of arrogance does not allow Western leaders to admit that they owe the wealth and political-military power of their countries to this genocidal criminality. This arrogance in the face of the collective West’s decline gets expressed in diplomatic bad faith and unilateral aggression, exacerbating the lack of cooperation and trust that characterizes the current international crisis.
