Imperialism

Lindsey Graham Was The Face Of The Duopoly

July 16, 2026 Margaret Kimberley, Black Agenda Report. , , ,
Lindsey Graham, South Carolina’s republican senior senator, passed away suddenly on the evening of July 11, 2026. Earlier that day he had returned from Ukraine, where for years he made the case for funding the anti-Russia proxy war and proclaimed that Ukrainians would fight, “to the last person.” There are many dead Ukrainians who acted as Graham predicted while others who are less willing are being snatched off the street and sent to the front despite their protestations.  Graham was consumed with the imperialist, white supremacist mind set and went to great lengths to defend Israel and claimed that the state had the right to drop nuclear weapons on Gaza.

Imperialism And The Moral Decay Of The West

July 16, 2026 Atilio A. Boron, Resumen-English. , , ,
The irreversible decline of the U.S. empire’s global hegemony is not merely an economic or technological issue. Such an reductionist approach would prevent us from grasping the full scope and the many dimensions of this slow but inexorable decline. It is also a military issue: the inability to win wars, continually highlighted by analysts in that country and confirmed in recent days by the setback suffered by Washington (and its cronies in Tel Aviv) in the war against Iran. It is also political, because one of the consequences of the dictatorship of capital that underlies the logic of the empire has been the growing dissatisfaction with bourgeois democracy, the practice of which has only served to make the rich exponentially wealthier and keep the vast majority of the U.S. population in poverty.

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

June 28, 2026 Jorge Remacha and Chris Amelio Castaneda, Left Voice. , , , ,
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.

Nicaragua And International Solidarity

June 25, 2026 Stephen Sefton, Resumen English. , , ,
Revolutionary struggles around the world have always inspired admiration and support among the popular movements of the Western capitalist countries. Authentic Western progressive opinion defends the ideals of equality among people, brotherhood among nations, non-aggression and self-determination of peoples. However. from the perspective of the anti-democratic Western ruling elites, revolutionary processes present a double threat. First of all, they challenge the powerful political and economic dominance over the majority world of Western corporate and financial élites.

G7 Summit: Leaders Praise Trump, Reaffirm Western Imperialism

June 18, 2026 Ana Vracar, Breakthrough News. , , ,
G7 leaders met in Évian, France, from June 15-17 to discuss – in their own words – “geopolitical issues” and “mutually beneficial international partnerships.” In the days leading up to the summit, a counter-meeting was organized in nearby Geneva, followed by a mass demonstration against the Global North’s warmongering and exploitation of the Global South.  The heads of state from the United States, United Kingdom, Japan, Italy, Germany, France, Canada and representatives of the European Union addressed pressing global issues but maintained their standard biased vision.

How Capitalism Kills The Game For Poor And Working Class People

June 18, 2026 Anthony Karefa Rogers-Wright, Black Agenda Report. , , , ,
Capitalism has a way of rendering what was once accessible to, and tactile for the masses into distant memories that themselves become the only thing that can be possessed, which is not a bad thing until said memories become the only thing that can be possessed due to profound wealth and income iniquity.  For myself, I remember a time when my single, working class mother and I could impulsively decide to go to a Yankees game or a Knicks game the same day they were being played. Moms would head to the Chemical Bank ATM, take out $40, and have the ability to purchase two decent seats along with refreshments for both of us to enjoy.

The World Needs A Living Left

June 12, 2026 Vijay Prashad, Tricontinental Institute for Social Research. , , , ,
From 29 to 31 May, forces of the South African left gathered in Johannesburg, South Africa, for the Conference of the Left. It is important to understand the context for this meeting. More than thirty years after the end of formal apartheid, South Africa’s people still struggle to meet their basic needs, with unemployment at 32.7% officially and 43.7% when discouraged workers – those available for work but no longer looking – are included. Meanwhile, the country’s riches are extracted by multinational corporations.

At Santa Marta Conference, Challenges To Climate Justice Continue

May 25, 2026 Margaret Flowers, Clearing the FOG. , , , , , , ,
At the end of April, Colombia and the Netherlands co-hosted a climate conference in Santa Marta that brought nearly 60 nations together to strategize on ways to transition off of fossil fuels. The genesis for the conference is the failure of the United Nations Conference of Parties process over the past 30 years to respond effectively to the growing climate crisis. Clearing the FOG speaks with climate activist and author, Anthony Karefa Rogers-Wright, who was part of an Afro-descendant delegation to the conference and a people's summit that took place before the Santa Marta Conference. Rogers-Wright discusses the challenges we continue to face in building a climate justice movement that focuses on the integral crises of White Supremacy, racism, imperialism, colonialism and patriarchy.

Betrayal In Venezuela

May 20, 2026 Margaret Kimberley, Black Agenda Report. , , , , ,
On May 16, 2026, Alex Saab, once a diplomat serving Venezuela who had already suffered imprisonment at the hands of the United States, was turned over to the United States once again. Interim president Delcy Rodriguez's action against Saab was one of treachery and should be referred to as such. The pain of seeing the Bolivarian revolution being picked apart by Donald Trump with the help of some willing participants in Venezuela is devastating to anyone who supported the rights of sovereignty and self-determination for that country and its people.

Leading US Papers Defend The Indefensible In Iran Aggression

March 20, 2026 Gregory Shupak, Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting. , , ,
The United States and Israel are, for the second time in less than a year, committing “the supreme international crime” against Iran (FAIR.org, 7/3/25). Editorials in three of the United States’ most prominent newspapers, the New York Times, Wall Street Journal and Washington Post, offered varying degrees of support for the aggression. The Times waffled about bombing Iran, the Journal enthusiastically supported it, and the Post had fewer concerns about the war than the Times but more than the Journal. Crucially, however, all three papers rationalized the US/Israeli assault.

Chris Hedges Report: Can Israel And The US Sustain Iran’s Military Power?

March 8, 2026 Chris Hedges, Scheer Post. , , , ,
While the official White House X account posts video montages featuring video games and Hollywood movies spliced with real footage of their attacks on Iran, the situation on the ground could not be more different than an American propaganda blockbuster. To pierce the fog of war and offer a concrete analysis of what is taking place across the Middle East, author and former British diplomat Alastair Crooke of the Substack Conflicts Forum joins host Chris Hedges on this episode of The Chris Hedges Report.

The US Media Goes To War On Iran

March 3, 2026 Michael Arria, Mondoweiss. , , ,
Since the U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran began, the mainstream media has featured an barrage of voices openly cheering on the war. Chief among them is Masih Alinejad, an Iranian-American pundit who has spent years calling for the Iranian government to be toppled. She’s been all over cable news, celebrating the attacks. On CBS, she called on Trump to “finish the job” in Iran and attacked New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani for opposing the strikes “This is a Berlin Wall moment. Let’s tear this wall down,” Alinejad told CNN’s Dana Bash.

The Anti-Imperialist Imperative: Confronting Globalized Fascism

February 21, 2026 Ajamu Baraka, Black Agenda Report. , , ,
We are living through a decisive historical rupture. This is not a moment of policy disagreement. It is not a moment of partisan confusion among anti-imperialists or even simply a crisis of democracy. We are in the midst of a deepening capitalist crisis so profound that capital has abandoned even the performance of its commitment to liberal enlightenment values. The institutions it created— the United Nations system, the so-called rules-based international order, the human rights regime— have been stripped of their moral veneer. What remains is naked power. The doctrine now is simple: Full spectrum dominance — by any means necessary.

How Israel Controls The West

February 14, 2026 Margaret Kimberley, Black Agenda Report. , , , ,
Perhaps we should be grateful that Senator Schumer grudgingly acknowledged that he has some responsibilities other than giving public money to Israel. Although it must be said that he and his colleagues display no such level of seriousness about acting on behalf of the people of this country. They are far more interested in carrying water for oligarchs and collaborating with the people they claim to oppose.  His recent remarks were actually rather tame when one considers the reach of zionist influence around the world, especially in the “collective west” of Europe, Canada, Australia, and the United States.

The New Era Of Israeli Expansionism

February 3, 2026 Ahmed Alqarout, Mondoweiss. , , ,
Israel has entered a new era of territorial expansionism and military aggression beyond the borders of historic Palestine. Its belligerent actions have accelerated across Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, Iran, Qatar, Libya, and most recently, Somaliland. These developments aren’t due to a change in Israeli strategic ambitions, but rather to the loosening of constraints that had kept it bounded before October 2023. This expansionist turn reflects a structural recalibration of risk, leverage, and international tolerance rather than a sudden ideological shift.
