The Revolutionary Spirit Of Iran

April 30, 2026 The Chris Hedges Report. , , , , ,
The United States, in its recent war on Iran, has completely misread the Iranian people and failed to recognize the deep revolutionary spirit that pervades Iranian culture. Rather than inciting Iranian people against their government, the US-Israeli war on Iran has united the population. Rather than promoting democracy in Iran and empowering the people, US economic punishment and aggression have accomplished the opposite and have made life more difficult for most Iranians. Like Cuba, Iran is being targeted because it will not relinquish its sovereignty.

Sawdust, Sunrise Singing And Solidarity: Holy Week In Nicaragua

April 10, 2026 Becca Renk Foster, Popular Resistance. , , ,
“I don’t like the music,” my daughter whispers to me. Suddenly, a cymbal crashes, followed by tuba and trombones droning a death dirge. I peer through the incense to make out the slow movement of men burdened by an impossibly heavy bier carrying the image of Christ crucified. It’s Good Friday, and we are watching the Holy Burial in the León Cathedral. “You’re not supposed to like it,” I tell her. “Jesus is dead, this is his funeral. The music is meant to fill you with dread and sadness.” In Nicaragua, a small country that has seen much suffering, Holy Week carries a special importance.

Dialectics, Iran And The Long Durée Of Anticolonial Revolution

April 9, 2026 Erica Caines, Black Agenda Report. , , , ,
Dialectical and historical materialism cannot be understated as critically important in understanding the “war on Iran”. The framework is indispensable for moving beyond the phenomena of geopolitics (sanctions, military posturing, diplomatic tensions) to grasp the essential phenomena: the structural contradictions of imperialism in its current, neocolonial phase. By examining the nation-state as an enclosure, the process of primitive accumulation, and the dialectic between the dictatorship of capital and the dictatorship of the proletariat, we can see the war on Iran not as a discrete conflict between nation-states, but as a critical battle in the ongoing class war that shapes the entire imperialist world-system.

Popular Participation And Socialist Renewal In Cuba In A Time Of Crisis

April 1, 2026 Isaac Saney and James Counts Early, Black Agenda Report. , , ,
Central to Cuba’s strategy is the recognition that economic stabilization cannot be imposed from above. Deputy Prime Minister Oscar Pérez Oliva Fraga emphasized that the Program operates through continuous monitoring, debate, and public discussion. This reflects the realities of Cuba’s economic situation. As a small and trade-dependent economy, the country faces enormous distortions caused by the U.S. blockade and by its forced exclusion from the international financial system. The economic war’s intensification—including Cuba’s placement on the U.S. list of state sponsors of terrorism—severely obstructs banking operations, investment flows, and basic trade.

We Are Willing To Give Our Lives For The Revolution

March 30, 2026 Pablo Iglesias, Resumen English. , , ,
Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba and President of the Republic, recently gave an interview to Spanish political scientist Pablo Iglesias Turrión on the digital platform Canal Red, which was broadcast on the Cuban Mesa Redonda program. The dialogue addressed issues related to the current situation in Cuba, the impact of the economic, commercial, and financial blockade imposed by the United States government, and recent acts of international solidarity. The conversation offers insight into the internal and external challenges facing the Caribbean nation, as well as the government’s stance regarding the humanitarian flotilla that took place in recent days.

When Black People Are Xenophobic They Risk Black Deaths In Iran

March 29, 2026 Mark P. Fancher, Black Agenda Report. , , ,
In recent days, Mylo Simmons has given heart-rending interviews about his only child, Master Sergeant Tyler Simmons, who perished along with five other soldiers after a refueling aircraft they were operating crashed in Iraq and rendered them casualties of the satanic imperialist/Zionist war against Iran. If we, as an African community in America, had done our job, would Simmons not only be alive, but also have never considered enlisting in the U.S. military in the first place? The U.S. military is no place for Black youth. Because the military’s sole purpose is to wage war to advance the interests of imperialism, then ipso facto the military wages war on us.

Few Nations In The World Have Faced A War On All Fronts As Cuba Has

March 25, 2026 Oriol Sabata, Struggle - La Lucha. , , ,
In Cuba this week, the crisis has intensified—one that, in my view, has been ongoing for one or two years now. I have been living on the island for three years, and for the past two or two and a half years, I have observed how power outages occur daily or nearly daily, even in Havana, where they are less frequent than in the rest of the provinces, which gives a real sense of the severity of the energy problem. Although the United States has been actively pursuing a policy to destabilize the Cuban people since the early 1960s—beginning with Lester Mallory’s memorandum, which proposed creating material shortages to provoke the people into rebelling against their government—the truth is that this crisis has intensified with each successive administration.

Cuba Is Not Afraid

March 21, 2026 Vijay Prashad, Tricontinental Institute for Social Research. , , ,
On 13 March 2026, President Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez gave a press conference in Havana, Cuba. The country has been wracked by a worsening fuel and electricity crisis produced by the long-standing illegal US blockade, which the Trump administration tightened further in early 2026 by effectively cutting off oil shipments to the island. On 29 January, Trump issued an executive order filled with the bluster of falsehoods – including the claim that Cuba ‘welcomes transnational terrorist groups, such as Hezbollah and Hamas’ – and threatened tariffs against any country that tried to send oil to Cuba.

Toward A Revolutionary Charter For Comprehensive Liberation

March 17, 2026 Al-Akhbar, Orinoco Tribune. , , , , , ,
As liberation movements in the Global South forged their new political language reflecting the perspective of colonized peoples, Amílcar Cabral was one of several leaders who identified the role of intellectuals and the educated elite as a critical vulnerability at the heart of popular revolutions. Some intellectuals have sought to promote Western-friendly approaches while normalizing conciliatory, defeatist frameworks. Cabral’s warning resurfaces sharply in the Palestinian and Arab context, after a brutal and unprecedented genocide met with a widespread silence and betrayal from the public, and complicity on the part of many Arab and Muslim regimes.

Why The US Wants To Destroy Cuba

March 15, 2026 Pablo Meriguet, People's Dispatch. , , , ,
The administration of US President Donald Trump has launched a series of military and political offensives in the last several months in different corners of the globe. The goals of Washington’s various military and diplomatic actions have been the subject of heated debate. Are they aimed at reestablishing a threatened hegemony? Do they strive to secure a unipolar position that was never really in danger? Or are these the dying (and most violent) breaths of an empire in decline? What is certain is that these actions have had a major impact on the peoples of Latin America and the Caribbean, as the US government appears eager to secure key territories and/or to conquer natural resources that are indispensable for the geopolitical and military conflicts it anticipates.

Mojtaba Khamenei And The Continuity Of The Islamic Revolution

March 9, 2026 Sayid Marcos Tenorio, Middle East Monitor. , , , ,
The election of Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Hosseini Khamenei as the new Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran represents far more than a simple institutional succession. Coming amid an open regional conflict and following the martyrdom of Iran’s long-time leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the decision by the Assembly of Experts is widely seen as a direct political response to external attempts to destabilise the country. The announcement followed an extraordinary session convened under dramatic circumstances. Despite bombardments and threats against their own facilities, the members of the Assembly moved swiftly to appoint a new leader.

Venezuela After January 3: A Nation Standing In The Storm

March 5, 2026 Medea Benjamin, Popular Resistance. , , , , , ,
On our recent delegation to Venezuela, one quote echoed again and again — a warning written nearly two centuries ago by Simón Bolívar in 1829: “The United States appears destined by Providence to plague America with misery in the name of liberty.” For many Venezuelans, that line no longer feels like history. It feels like the present. The January 3 U.S. military operation that seized President Nicolás Maduro and First Lady Cilia Flores marked a dramatic escalation in a conflict that Venezuelans describe not as sudden but as cumulative — the culmination of decades of pressure, sanctions, and attempts at isolation.

The Caribbean People’s Debt To Cuba

February 27, 2026 Tamanisha J. John and Kevin Edmonds, Black Agenda Report. , , ,
What we are seeing across the Caribbean in 2025-2026 is a total absence of political and moral leadership, specifically in regards to the failure of elected officials and prominent regional organizations like the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), to speak out against the criminal blockade and embargo of Cuba, and the imperialist attacks against Venezuela – which includes the violation of Venezuela’s sovereignty that resulted in the kidnapping of the Venezuelan President, Nicolás Maduro, and First Lady, Cilia Flores by the United States (US). 

The Cuban Revolution Holds Out Against US Imperialism

February 19, 2026 Vijay Prashad, People's Dispatch. , , ,
In January 2026, US President Donald Trump declared Cuba to be an “unusual and extraordinary threat” to US security, a designation that allows the United States government to use sweeping economic restrictions traditionally reserved for national security adversaries. The US blockade against Cuba began in the 1960s, right after the Cuban Revolution of 1959, but has tightened over the years. Without any mandate from the United Nations Security Council (which permits sanctions under strict conditions) the United States has operated an illegal, unilateral blockade that tries to force countries from around the world to stop doing basic commerce with Cuba.

As The US Ramps Up Its Attacks On Cuba, Support For Its Revolution Grows

February 16, 2026 Margaret Flowers, Clearing the FOG. , , , , ,
On January 29, which coincides with the twelfth anniversary of the declaration of Latin America and the Caribbean as a Zone of Peace (at the CELAC meeting in Havana, Cuba), the Trump administration designated Cuba as "an unusual and extraordinary threat... to the national security and foreign policy of the United States.” As a result of this designation, the US is tightening the economic blockade on Cuba, with a particular emphasis on stopping fuel deliveries, and is threatening any nation that provides aid. Clearing the FOG speaks with Netfa Freeman of the Black Alliance for Peace about the impact of the blockade, the significance of Cuba's example of internationalism and defending its sovereignty, as well as assisting other nations in doing the same, and efforts to support the Cuban people.
