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

April 1, 2026 Isaac Saney and James Counts Early, Black Agenda Report. Strategize! Cuba, Economic Blockade, Revolution, Socialism

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.

Spain’s Migrant Regularization Marks A Rare Progressive Turn

March 30, 2026 Kim Wilson, Canadian Dimension. Create! Immigrant Rights, Socialism, Spain, Worker Rights

On a warm and sunny February morning in Alicante, dozens of people crowded outside the Algerian consulate next to the city’s central market. Almost entirely men, mostly young or middle-aged, they rummaged through documents and passports, speaking Arabic to one another in low voices. The spectacle on the street couldn’t have gone unnoticed. Small crowds of migrants have become a common sight in cities across Spain since Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez’s recent announcement that the government would soon begin the process of regularizing undocumented migrant workers currently living there.

Saying No To The Empire Is Not Enough

March 29, 2026 Max Elbaum, Portside. Strategize! Anti-war Movement, Iran, Left Politics, Socialism, US Empire, Wars and Militarism

The joint US-Israeli war against Iran puts an exclamation point on the Gaza genocide. It sends a message to the world from the regimes in Washington and Tel Aviv that if you didn’t get it before, you better get it now: We will do absolutely anything that our military strength allows us to do. There are no rules or international laws we are bound to acknowledge, much less respect. You have two choices: capitulate or be destroyed. Most European governments, all too many regimes elsewhere, and major sections of the Democratic Party leadership here offer at most a few “process objections” to this level of ruthlessness but go with the flow.

Venezuela: When The Opposition Calls For ‘Free’ And ‘Fair’ Elections, What Do They Mean?

March 19, 2026 Yader Lanuza, Popular Resistance. Strategize! Bolivarian Process, Democracy, Elections, Neoliberalism, Participatory Democracy, Socialism, Venezuela

Since Hugo Chavez came to power in 1999, the US has attacked the Bolivarian Revolution in multiple ways, including through propaganda that categorize it as “authoritarian,” “unfree,” and “undemocratic.” This US propaganda assault is intended to dictate what should be done in Venezuela, including a return to “democracy,” with “free” and “fair” elections. Emboldened by the US military attack on Jan. 3rd, and relying on the US propaganda assault, the Venezuelan opposition has launched an aggressive move to seize control of the state by seeking concessions from the Bolivarian government to purportedly ensure “democracy” through “free” and “fair” elections that guarantees “equal” political participation for all political parties. But what does the opposition mean by “equality,” “fairness,” and “democracy”?

Is the United States a fascist state? There is an authoritarian in the White House, systemic racism is rampant, our cities and towns are being militarized, concentration camps are under construction, and our politicians are controlled by corporations.

Defying Sanctions, Advancing Socialism: DPRK’s Ninth Party Congress

February 25, 2026 Ju-Hyun Park, People's Dispatch. Create! Development, Five Year Plans, North Korea, Socialism

The 9th Party Congress of the Workers’ Party of Korea is now underway. Held every five years, the Congress can be regarded as the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea’s (DPRK) most significant political event. A total of 5,000 delegates and 2,000 observers elected by party organizations from across the country are now gathered in Pyongyang for the event. As preparations for the Congress took place across the country in recent weeks, they were accompanied by celebrations of the successes of the last Five Year Plan, adopted at the 8th Party Congress in 2021. In the past month, completion ceremonies have been held for 21 local projects across the DPRK’s rural communities, ranging from the massive Sinuiju Greenhouse Farm to new factories and hospitals.

China’s Green Development Is Both Anti-Imperialist And Socialist

February 24, 2026 A. Shantha, Orinoco Tribune. Create! China, climate crisis, Green Transition, Socialism, Sovereignty

Since the turn of the century, China has been undergoing its own green industrial revolution. In 2023, China was responsible for the production of over 80% of the world’s solar panels and 60% of the world’s electric vehicles.1 China’s domestic New Energy Vehicles (NEVs) — referring to battery/pure electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, and fuel-cell electric vehicles (of which pure electric vehicles are now the most common) — make up more than 90% of sales, compared to the 50% market share held by gas-powered Chinese-branded vehicles.

DSA’s ‘Rank-And-File Strategy” Has 60s Roots In Berkeley

February 17, 2026 Steve Early, Popular Resistance. Strategize! DSA, Rank and File, Socialism, Unions, Working Class

Some young radicals are still pondering how they should relate, personally and collectively, to the labor movement. Should they try to become agents of workplace change while serving on the staff of local, regional, or national unions? Or should they organize “on the shop-floor”—in non-union shops or as a unionized teacher, nurse, or social worker? And then, later on, seek elected, rather than appointed, union leadership roles? A few years ago, delegates to a national convention of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) debated this latter strategy and then narrowly passed a resolution favoring the rank-and-file route.

International Opposition To Trump, ICE Shapes Milan Olympics Opening

February 9, 2026 Alex Lantier, WSWS.org. Resist! Capitalism, ICE, Italy, Mass Action, Olympics, Socialism, Working Class

The 2026 Winter Olympics has seen an outpouring of opposition to Trump and the presence in Milan of agents of his murderous Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency. Italy’s fascist prime minister, Georgia Meloni, welcomed US Vice President JD Vance to Milan and placed the city on lockdown. Nearly 6,000 heavily-armed Italian police and military officers are patrolling the streets. Snipers are deployed on the rooftops, no-fly zones have been established across the city and a special decree allows police to jail people in Milan for 12 hours on the flimsy grounds that police suspect they might engage in violent protest.

Thousands Mark Igman March Anniversary As ‘New Fascism’ Spreads

February 9, 2026 Ana Vracar, People's Dispatch. Resist! Fascism, History, Socialism, Yugoslavia

On January 27 and 28, 1942, hundreds of Yugoslav partisans marched over Mount Igman in Bosnia to evade Nazi encirclement and reach liberated territory in Foča. This feat of the First Proletarian Brigade – carried out at temperatures around −30 degrees Celsius, with dozens of fighters dying or suffering injuries due to frostbite – became a defining moment of the antifascist resistance. It is commemorated to this day, testifying to the determination and endurance of the partisans. Every year, thousands travel to Igman from across the former republics of socialist Yugoslavia to pay tribute, while also drawing inspiration and strength for contemporary struggles.

Cuba Must Not Fall!

February 6, 2026 Isaac Saney, Black Agenda Report. Strategize! Cuba, Economic Blockade, Revolution, Socialism

The struggle to defend the Cuban Revolution—to preserve Cuba’s independence, sovereignty, and right to self-determination—is not simply the struggle of a small Caribbean nation resisting a powerful neighbour. Nor is it confined to the geographical contours of an island of eleven million people. It is, rather, a struggle with profound and incalculable consequences for Latin America, the Caribbean, and the global fight for justice, human dignity, and the right of peoples to live free from imperialist diktat. What is at stake in Cuba has never been merely Cuba itself.

Socialism Much More Than Just An Idea

February 4, 2026 Rossana Cambron, People's World. Strategize! Capitalism, Democracy, New Economy, Socialism

Socialism is both a political and economic theory and a historical stage in human development. As capitalism continues to squeeze profits from workers, more people become aware of who truly produces society’s wealth—and who benefits from their labor. This growing awareness raises a critical question: if capitalism creates unbearable conditions for the majority, what comes next? At its core, socialism advocates for social ownership and democratic control of the means of production. This means that major resources and industries—such as factories, land, energy, and transportation—are owned and managed collectively, rather than by private individuals or corporations.

China Changes Everything: A Book Review

A new book edited by Kyle Ferrana, China Changes Everything, bills itself as an anthology by “social justice activists, journalists, and commentators” and brings together chapters about the People’s Republic of China written by prominent left-wing analysts, including Arnold August, Roger Harris, Radhika Desai, Carlos Martinez, Gerald Horne, Lee Siu Hin, Margaret Kimberley, Danny Haiphong, KJ Noh, Sara Flounders, and many more.

Venezuela Is Undergoing A Total Functional Economic Transformation

December 15, 2025 José Negrón Valera, Orinoco Tribune. Create! Bolivarian Revolution, Finance and the Economy, Socialism, Transformation, Venezuela

Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro recently highlighted the role of the National Council for Productive Economy in driving the growth of a new, self-sustaining economy. During a meeting on Friday, December 13, which brought together the government, the banking sector, and representatives of the country’s main business chambers, he presented the year-end gross domestic product (GDP) growth forecast of 9%, surpassing the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) projections and marking 18 consecutive quarters of sustained economic growth.
