Attacks On Communist Ideology Using Marxist Terminology

August 31, 2026 Leo Schwarz, The Left Chapter. Educate! Book Review, Capitalism, CIA, Marxism

Shortly before his death, Herbert Marcuse wrote an essay on Rudolf Bahro’s book The Alternative in Eastern Europe. In the essay, Marcuse hailed Bahro’s “critique of actually existing socialism” as “the most important contribution to Marxist theory and practice in decades.” This statement was part of a coordinated campaign for the book and for Bahro that swept through the major media outlets of the Western world between 1977 and 1979–80. As we now know (or can know), a striking number of the key figures in this campaign maintained connections in the postwar decades to the Central Intelligence Agency or to various institutions and organizations that were either controlled, funded, or considered “friendly” by the CIA or the U.S. State Department.

Nationalize AI Under Worker And Consumer Control

August 7, 2026 David Ehrens, Left Voice. Educate! Artificial Intelligence (AI), Data Centers, Marxism, Public ownership

AI systems ingest vast amounts of data to identify underlying structures and correlations, effectively creating a functional map of what is known about a given domain of knowledge. Users interact with these models to simulate outcomes, generate output based on patterns in the model, or extract details. Although AI is capable of far more persistence and attention to detail than the average person, it does not actually “understand” anything in a human sense. Some of AI’s more useful applications include medical imaging, gene therapy, pharmaceutical research, math proofs, identifying childhood pneumonia, and modeling complex weather patterns.

Review Of Gabriel Rockhill’s ‘Who Paid The Pipers Of Western Marxism’

July 27, 2026 Arnold August, Orinoco Tribune. Educate! anti-communism, Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), CIA, Fake Left, Marxism, Western Marxism

The book, Who Paid the Pipers of Western Marxism, published by Monthly Review Press, New York, is, in fact, Volume 1 of a trilogy. Volume 2: French Theory Made in the USA. Volume 3: Radical Theory’s Infantile Disorder. This book review is being published now in July 2026, much later than I had hoped; it was originally planned for February 2026. However, a good wine improves with age. There was an important milestone, and several secondary events that occurred during this more than five-month-long delay from when I first read the book to when I actually wrote this review.

A Marxist View On The Environmental Impact Of AI Data Centers

May 24, 2026 Otis Grotewohl, Workers World. Strategize! Big Tech, Data Centers, Environment, Marxism

Recent studies show that most people in the U.S. have an unfavorable view of data centers. A new Gallup survey just revealed that 70% of the U.S. population oppose data centers near their homes, which is a massive jump from only 47% in late 2025. (tomshardware.com, May 14) Another study from the Marquette University Law School shows that 62% of the U.S. population “believes the cost of data centers outweighs the benefits.” (Washington Post, April 15) Workers object to the growth of data centers for a variety of reasons. There is growing concern about impacts on the environment, utility costs, water consumption and climate change.

Abolitionist Feminism

April 12, 2026 Sarah Jaffe, Dissent Magazine. Strategize! Abolition, Feminism, Marxism, Patriarchy, Working Class

With her 2011 book The Problem with Work, political theorist Kathi Weeks helped kickstart a theoretical renaissance of work-critical socialist feminism. Now she’s back with a new volume blending that critique of labor with prison and family abolitionism. Weeks takes the work of Shulamith Firestone, Donna Haraway, and Angela Davis as her starting point for a consideration of what it means to be an abolitionist today. Abolition Archives, Feminist Futures is an argument for the importance of Marxist feminism, and a call for structural thinking and collective action in the face of so much pressure to think and act on an individual scale.

I Support Cuba Because I Am On The Side Of Humanity And Life

April 6, 2026 Marxlenin Pérez Valdés, Orinoco Tribune. Strategize! Book Review, Cuba, Economic Blockade, Marxism

I met Gabriel Rockhill by chance, but not by accident. We were introduced by Helen Yaffe, a dear friend of Cuba, in January of this year during the International Congress held at the University of Havana to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Tricontinental Conference (1966). The current political climate added a unique dimension to the event: those present were standing up to the recent display of aggressivity against our country, which includes the possibility of armed aggression. That is why the meeting was not by accident. It was driven by conviction.

Paris Commune Showed That Workers Can Run Society Themselves

March 19, 2026 Scott Hiley, People's World. Strategize! Communes, Marxism, Paris Commune, Worker Ownership

Shortly before dawn on March 18, 1871, several detachments of the French army—recently defeated in the Franco-Prussian war—entered Paris and made their way toward the working-class neighborhoods of Montmartre and Belleville. They were under orders to seize 400 old-fashioned cannons belonging to the city’s civilian militia, the National Guard. In doing so, the conservative government of Adolphe Thiers hoped to neutralize an increasingly militant opposition within the city. But 19th century Paris, that midwife of revolutions, was not easily pacified. Workers stood up, and soldiers backed down, refusing orders to fire on the people and sometimes even deserting to join them.

Workers Of The Data World, Unite

January 31, 2026 Arnie Saiki, Decolonize Accounting. Educate! Accounting, Capitalism, Finance and the Economy, Marxism

This is a call for Marxists to begin to treat accounting as more than a technocratic background. I would argue that the most powerful battlefield of economic governance is in the field of accounting and its intermediaries. A 21st-century Marxist approach has to include accounting. For those who have been following our call for stronger civil society engagement in the revision of the UN System of National Accounts, including critiques of the SEEA and the SDG framework, this is the argument. National accounting may look technical and administrative, yet it is foundational. It determines what an economy is allowed to “see,” what states are expected to optimize, and what becomes eligible for finance, compliance, and enforcement.

Iran, Imperialist Aggression, And The Western Left’s Blind Spot

December 6, 2025 Brahim Rouabah and Corinna Mullin, Black Agenda Report. Educate! Iran, Marxism, US Empire, Western Imperislism

Western Marxism, as Ponce de León and Rockhill (Citation2024) note in their introduction to Domenico Losurdo’s Western Marxism, has long been characterized by ‘the dogmatic rejection of actually existing socialism’ and a neglect of national liberation and anti-colonial struggles. This is not an intellectual quirk, it is a structural feature: it treats the fight for sovereignty in the Global South as a secondary matter – at best a distraction, at worst a reactionary detour. The logics behind this are rooted in Eurocentrism and sustained by the material privileges of the imperialist core – what Lenin (Citation1916) identified as a bribed ‘upper stratum’ of the working class, made possible by ‘super profits’ from colonial exploitation that ‘foster, give shape to, and strengthen opportunism’.

Kerala Becomes First Indian State To Eradicate Extreme Poverty

November 5, 2025 Abdul Rahman, People's Dispatch. Create! India, Kerala, Marxism, Poverty

On Saturday, November 1, India’s southern state of Kerala officially declared itself free of extreme poverty. This makes the left-ruled state the first and only state in the country to achieve such a milestone. Announcing the achievement during a session of the state’s legislative assembly, left leader and Chief Minister of the state Pinarayi Vijayan called it a “historic and proud moment” for the state and its people and hoped that “our experiments will become a model that states in the country can benefit from.” India has the world’s largest population living in extreme poverty, as per the data released by the World Bank last year.

In Honor Of Comrade Abiodun Aremu

October 16, 2025 Black Alliance For Peace Africa Team, Black Agenda Report. Educate! Abiodun Aremu, Activists, Africa, African Liberation Movement, Marxism, Obituary

The Black Alliance for Peace Africa Team and U.S. Out of Africa Network join the masses in Nigeria and across the African continent in mourning the tragic loss of our comrade and U.S. Out of Africa Network Steering Committee member, Abiodun Aremu. Comrade Aremu was a Pan-Africanist and an internationalist in the truest sense. His profound understanding of the struggle extended beyond the borders of Nigeria, rooted in a deep commitment to the liberation of the entire African working class from the grip of imperialism. As a teacher and a steadfast general, his life was dedicated to the ideological and political work necessary for our collective emancipation, exemplified by his founding of the Amilcar Cabral Institute of Ideological Studies.

American Lumpen Development: The Data Center Boom

March 5, 2025 Hanna Eid, Black Agenda Report. Strategize! Big Tech, Class Struggle, Marxism, Socialism

In the Marxist view of economics, the development of the productive forces is a key element which defines the overall development of a certain country or place. This generally means urbanization paired with real industrialization and the reduction of the urban-rural gap through land reform and an agricultural policy that promotes food sovereignty and self sufficiency. All of this paired with schools, hospitals, mass public transit and other markers of the development of social and cultural life can provide people with jobs and livelihoods that are the building blocks for socialist development.

The Anastasis Of Marx

February 20, 2025 Arnie Saiki, oni’s Substack. Educate! Capitalism, Communism, Karl Marx, Marxism, Working Class

If Karl Marx were to experience an anastasis and rise from the grave today, he might be both astonished and vindicated by the enduring relevance of his critique of capitalism in the modern world. Upon his first visit to a mall, how long would it take for him to get past the manufactured happiness that drives consumer culture and perverts his critique of production? Capitalism no longer simply estranges workers from their labor; it engineers desire, making consumption feel like fulfillment. The act of purchasing, of acquiring, is not just an economic transaction but an addiction, a temporary salve for an alienation that he once attributed to the separation from one's own production.

A Return To Basics: Rasmus, The ‘Neoliberal’ Turn, And Exploitation

February 14, 2025 Greg Godels, ZZ's Blog. Strategize! Marxism, Socialism, Wages, Worker Rights

Instead of the conservative motto, 'A fair day's wage for a fair day's work!' they ought to inscribe on their banner the revolutionary watchword: 'Abolition of the wage system!' Karl Marx, Value, Price, and Profit Today, the point that Marx made in his 1865 address to the First International Working Men’s Association is largely lost on the trade unions and even with many self-styled Marxists. The distinction between the goal of “a fair day's wage” and the goal of eliminating exploitation-- the wage system embedded in capitalism-- is lost before a common, but unfocused revulsion to the exploding growth of inequality. It is one thing to deplore the growth of inequality, it is quite another to establish what would replace the logic of unfettered accumulation.

Chris Hedges Report: Virtue Hoarders And The Rejection Of Liberalism

February 13, 2025 Chris Hedges, Scheer Post. Resistance Report Liberal class, Liberalism, Marxism, Professional Managerial Class, Working Class

The material needs of working class people in America continue to be obscured and co-opted by politicians and people claiming to know what’s best on both sides of the political aisle. While Republicans and right-wingers address some of these needs head on, they do so by luring people through empty rhetoric and culture war distractions. On the other side, Democrats and liberals police and enforce a cancel-culture paradigm built by elites that also distracts and divides the proletariat from ever engaging in meaningful connection and change.
