The second annual Anti-Capitalist Book Fair took place in Toronto on October 19. Created by Camilo Cahis Marxist Publishing House, the Anti-Capitalist Book Fair aimed to supply leftists, curious onlookers, and seasoned activists in Toronto with progressive literature. Christina Olanick, a graphic designer and organizer at Camilo Cahis Marxist Publishing House, says the book fair started because there’s a ‘real hunger’ for socialist and communist ideas. “It’s really obvious that capitalism isn’t working,” Olanick said of the importance of the book fair.

Understanding The Changes Unseen In A Century

October 29, 2025 Carlos Martinez, Friends of Socialist China. Educate! Capitalism, China, History, Socialism, Xi Jinping

General Secretary Xi Jinping has observed several times that “the world is undergoing profound changes unseen in a century”. What are these changes, and what are their implications for the current global situation? Before addressing the changes the world is experiencing today, it is worthwhile reflecting on the major changes that occurred a century ago, since the dramatic shifts of that time laid the foundations for the transformations we are witnessing now. The October Revolution of 1917 was a watershed moment marking the beginning of humanity’s transition from capitalism to socialism.

The Need For Revolutionary Pan-Africanism

October 2025 marks eighty years since the historic Fifth Pan-African Congress convened in Manchester, United Kingdom, in 1945. This congress became a revolutionary turning point in the global struggle against colonialism and imperialism. It brought together a remarkable group of African and Caribbean thinkers, workers, trade unionists, and political leaders, including Ghanaian leader Kwame Nkrumah, Caribbean-born US-based communist leader George Padmore, Trinidadian historian CLR James, Kenyan freedom fighter Jomo Kenyatta, Jamaican Pan-Africanist Amy Ashwood Garvey, and ITA Wallace-Johnson, who collectively articulated a new vision of African liberation and self-determination.

Communist Party Of China Opens Deliberations On 15th Five-Year Plan

October 22, 2025 Mauro Ramos, People's Dispatch. Create! China, Communist Party, Five Year Plans, Socialism

The Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) began this Monday, October 20, in Beijing, with the agenda focused on drafting proposals for the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030) for the country’s economic and social development. The discussion of the five-year plan at the Fourth Session represents a change in the usual calendar, as this discussion normally takes place at the Fifth Plenary Session. The change may have occurred due to the delay of the Third Plenary Session, which did not take place until August 2024. Following the usual calendar, it was expected to take place in 2023.

Convened under the theme, “Imperialism in Crisis: Pan-African Solidarity and Socialist Transformation,” the Second National Delegates Congress of the Socialist Movement of Ghana (SMG) concluded on Sunday, September 21, at the Amílcar Cabral School in Agynoa, Aburi. Bringing together 300 delegates from across Ghana, the Congress discussed the national and international situation, reviewed the work of the movement’s youth and women’s wings, and strengthened the organization’s constitution. The Congress recognized that global capitalism, particularly its neoliberal form, was in a profound crisis. Delegates argued that the “system’s reliance on exploiting labor, extracting resources, and concentrating wealth inevitably led to inequality, environmental destruction, international chaos and imperialist wars.”

Tom Alter’s Firing Marks A New Front In Campus Political Repression

September 26, 2025 Victor Harlan, Left Voice. Strategize! Employer retaliation, Free Speech, Higher Education, Socialism

Many people in the United States and around the world were watching the news very intently on September 10, but they could be forgiven for not knowing that a Texas professor was illegally fired for his political views, as it wasn’t much reported on, even in Texas. History professor Thomas Alter was terminated after being accused by Texas State University president Kelly Damphousse of “conduct that advocates for inciting violence.” This politically motivated firing, while outrageous, is sadly becoming less and less unprecedented — it’s part of a new McCarthyism in American higher education. The university said the illegal firing was the result of comments made by Alter at the virtual Revolutionary Socialism Conference. The conference was organized by Firebrand, Socialist Horizon, and the International Socialist League in early September, and was geared towards the formation of a revolutionary party.

How Does China’s System Really Work?

Today, I have the pleasure of being joined by the renowned Chinese scholar Zhang Weiwei. He is a professor at the prestigious Fudan University in Shanghai. He has millions of followers on Chinese social media. And we just participated in an academic conference. Professor Zhang, it is nice to meet you. I want to begin asking you about your idea of the “China model”. This is something you have been speaking about for many years, for almost 20 years now. If you look at China’s economic development in recent decades, it’s amazing. The statistics don’t lie.

Missing Links In Textbook History: The American Left Part II

August 9, 2025 Jim Mamer, Scheer Post. Strategize! American Left, Communism, History, Socialism

Years ago, I took a sociology course in which we were taught how social class was determined by looking at a mix of family wealth, income, occupation and education. We were taught that those categories were often impacted by complex disparities in opportunity determined by race and gender. Societies, we were taught, are stratified into class categories of upper, middle and lower, but those are often further divided into as many as six or seven groupings. At the time I could not imagine how these multiple divisions could be of much use. I still can’t. It was not until I saw Monty Python and the Holy Grail, that those bewildering categories were cleared up. In one scene, King Arthur, dressed in white, interacts with two very busy peasants, a man and a woman, both dressed in mud. The apparently confused king asks the peasants who owns the castle on a nearby hill.

Nicaragua Celebrates The 46th Anniversary Of Its Revolution

July 23, 2025 Nan McCurdy, Resumen English. Educate! Anti-Imperialism, Nicaragua, Sandinista Revolution, Socialism

This year was different from celebrations since 2021 when there were perhaps 5,000 people invited – this year there were about 50,000! It took place in the Plaza de la Fe where the July 19th celebrations were held for years and years with open attendance of hundreds of thousands and little organization. That changed in 2020 with Covid. This time invitations were made and organized by the municipalities all over the country and those invited road in on Chinese buses down to the plaza. You can see from the photo, the organization was phenomenal to accommodate the 50,000.

Texas Residents Launch Grassroots Efforts For Post-Flood Disaster Relief

July 15, 2025 Natalia Marques, People's Dispatch. Organize! Extreme weather, Flooding, Mutual Aid, Socialism, Texas

Disastrous flash flooding in Central Texas in the beginning of July left at least 121 people dead. Rescue teams continue to search for the over 170 people still missing. The floods now rank among the deadliest natural disasters for children in the US in recent decades. 36 children lost their lives in Kerr County alone. Amid the loss of life, many argue that the flood deaths were preventable, with some pointing to the failure of local officials to implement a flood warning system. The editorial board of the Houston Chronicle published an editorial advocating for systems that would ensure more flood recovery and preparedness, writing “what’s most difficult to process is that these deaths were largely preventable.”

Who Says A Chicken Feather Can’t Fly Up To Heaven?

In 1957, Mao Zedong oversaw the publication of Socialist Upsurge in China’s Countryside, a three-volume collection of articles compiled by the Communist Party of China for the political education of the peasantry. The following year, selections from these volumes were republished in abridged and regional editions. One such edition included a report from the Anyang Regional Communist Party Committee’s Office for the Co-operative Movement with an introduction by Mao. The text, called ‘Who Says a Chicken Feather Can’t Fly up to Heaven?’, provides the title for this newsletter.

Despite The Pain In The World, Socialism Is Not A Distant Utopia

June 20, 2025 Vijay Prashad, Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research. Educate! Africa, Asia, Global South, Imperialis, Latin America, m, Multipolar World, Socialism

Every morning, I open the newspapers (now on apps rather than print) and read about atrocities taking place across the world. There is an inflation of pain, from the genocide in Gaza to the war in Sudan and the unreported chaotic violence in and around Myanmar. These conflicts seem interminable and might even confuse the casual observer who does not follow them closely. The current phase of Sudan’s war began in April 2023, with the Sudanese Armed Forces (led by General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan) arrayed against the Rapid Support Forces (led by Commander Mohamed ‘Hemedti’ Hamdan Dagalo).

Ballots And Bias: How The Press Framed Venezuela’s Elections.

May 29, 2025 Roger D. Harris, Popular Resistance. Educate! Bolivarian Revolution, Elections, Media, Propaganda, Socialism, Venezuela

The pro-government alliance achieved a sweeping victory in Venezuela’s May 25 elections, while a fractured opposition suffered losses. Western media distorted the results – spinning low turnout claims, ignoring the role of illegal US sanctions, and offering selective sympathy to elite opposition figures. At stake for the 54 contesting Venezuelan political parties were seats for 285 National Assembly deputies, 24 state governors, and 260 regional legislators. The pro-government coalition won all but one of the governorships, taking three of the four states previously held by the opposition. The loss of the state of Barinas was particularly symbolic for this was the birthplace of former President Hugo Chávez; and especially so, because the winner was Adán Chávez, the late president’s older brother.
