Gaza, Venezuela, And Enduring Relevance Of Dr. King’s Critique Of Empire

January 17, 2026 Ajamu Baraka, Black Agenda Report. Strategize! Gaza, Martin Luther King Jr, US Empire, Venezuela

Every year in the U.S., what has emerged as a cynical ritual around the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King takes place, where the state uplifts an image of Dr. King that is compatible with the fiction of what the U.S. society sees itself as and that depoliticizes King by ignoring his progressive Anti-war and anti-imperialist politics. But with the medieval barbarism of the Israeli genocide in Gaza fully supported by the U.S., rogue state gangsterism by the U.S. in Venezuela, and consolidating fascist terror domestically, the critique of the U.S. by someone with the moral clarity of King combined with a material analysis of the interests driving U.S. policy brings a new clarity to the normalizing horrors being carried out by the U.S. state.

Grand Illusion

January 10, 2026 Chris Hedges, Scheer Post. Educate! Democracy, Fascism, Greenland, NATO, US Empire

All empires, when they are dying, worship the idol of war. War will save the empire. War will resurrect past glory. War will teach an unruly world to obey. But those who bow down before the idol of war, blinded by hypermasculinity and hubris, are unaware that while idols begin by calling for the sacrifice of others, they end by demanding self-sacrifice. Ekpyrosis, the inevitable conflagration that destroys the world according to the ancient Stoics, is part of the cyclical nature of time. There is no escape. Fortuna. There is a time for individual death.

America The Rogue State

January 6, 2026 Chris Hedges, Scheer Post. Educate! Chris Hedges, Democracy, United States, US Empire

The ruling class of the United States, severed from a fact-based universe and blinded by idiocy, greed and hubris, has immolated the internal mechanisms that prevent dictatorship, and the external mechanisms designed to protect against a lawless world of colonialism and gunboat diplomacy. Our democratic institutions are moribund. They are unable or unwilling to restrain our ruling gangster class. The lobby-infested Congress is a useless appendage. It surrendered its Constitutional authority, including the right to declare war and pass legislation, long ago.

Greenland Prime Minister Responds To Trump’s Threats

January 5, 2026 News Desk, The Cradle. Educate! Greenland, Occupation, Trump Administration, US Empire

Denmark’s Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, on 5 January, publicly rejected renewed threats by US President Donald Trump calling for US annexation of Greenland, warning Washington to “stop the threats against a historically close ally.” “It makes absolutely no sense to talk about the US needing to take over Greenland,” Frederiksen said, stressing that “the US has no right to annex any of the three countries in the Danish Kingdom.” The Danish PM noted that Denmark, “and thus Greenland,” is a NATO member and protected by the alliance’s collective security guarantees.

Decline And Fall

December 30, 2025 Chris Hedges, Consortium News. Educate! British Empire, History, Poverty, US Empire

At the start of the 20th century, the British Empire was, like our own, in terminal decline. Sixty percent of Englishmen were physically unfit for military service, as are 77 percent of American youth. The Liberal Party, like the Democratic Party, while it acknowledged the need for reform, did little to address the economic and social inequalities that saw the working class condemned to live in substandard housing, breathe polluted air, be denied basic sanitation and health care and forced to work in punishing and poorly paid jobs.

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’.

What Is Really Happening In Venezuela?

November 15, 2025 Ben Norton, Geopolitical Economy. Educate! Syria, US Empire, US Regime Change, Venezuela, Wars and Militarism

Venezuela is very divided politically, but in general, the Bolivarian Revolution initiated by previous President Hugo Chávez and continued by current President Nicolás Maduro still has a lot of support from poor and working-class Venezuelans. Most rich people and elites are pro-US and anti-government. Many of them have left the country, but there are still some in Venezuela (especially in wealthy areas like Chacao). In Venezuela, most people are tired of political conflict and violence, and they simply want stability. The right-wing opposition does not have many active supporters inside the country. Whenever they try to hold a protest, only a few hundred people show up.

Evidence That The Empire Is Crumbling

September 14, 2025 Ahjamu Umi, Hood Communist. Strategize! Capitalism, Failed State, Racism, US Empire

I live in the U.S., but evidence of the increasing failures of the capitalist system applies to the entire world, particularly the capitalist countries. And, the U.S. is a very reliable measuring stick for this analysis since it has been the leading capitalist and imperialist country in the world since 1945. Before that time, Europe, particularly Britain, France, and Germany, parallelled the U.S. in world political and economic power, but World War II knocked all of Europe down several notches. After that dust settled, the U.S. stood as the dominant capitalist and imperialist country meaning it became the chief raider of world resources and terrorist oppression to ensure that dominance continues.

US’ ‘Pivot To The Pacific’ Provides An ‘Opportunity’ To Fight Empire

August 3, 2025 Natalia Marques, People's Dispatch. Strategize! Asian Pivot, Decolonization, Hawaii, Independence, US Empire

“Our nations are caught in the middle,” of the massive US escalation in aggression towards China, says Kawenaʻulaokalā Kapahua. Kapahua is the Political Education Chair for Hui Aloha ʻĀina, a Hawaiian independence party originally established in 1893 to resist the US occupation of Hawai’i. To him, the US drive towards war can in fact present “a major opportunity to start building, not just with ourselves in Hawai’i, but also with our Pacific comrades, neighbors, and cousins, to start fighting back.” “Our ocean is the frontline in this Cold War between China and the United States,” Kapahua articulates.

Mass Killings, Media Control, And The Machinery Of US Soft Power

July 12, 2025 Empire Watch, Popular Resistance. Resistance Report Mass killing, Media, US Empire, US Imperialism

KJ Noh, peace activist, journalist and co-host of The China Report on @BreakThroughNews joins us to dismantle the ideological architecture of U.S. empire. He exposes how atrocity becomes infrastructure and propaganda becomes profession. From the Ford Foundation’s role in Indonesia’s Cold War genocide to the rise of figures like Orville Schell and Johnny Harris, KJ unpacks how soft power functions as a weapon: manufacturing consent, laundering imperial violence, and shaping global narratives. He exposes how US think tanks, journalism schools, and digital platforms are not just media ecosystems, but actually, ideological battlegrounds built atop bloodshed.

What To Do When You, Too, Become A ‘Terrorist’: New Zine Launch

July 6, 2025 Samidoun, Orinoco Tribune. Strategize! Canada, Germany, Palestine Action, Terrorist, United Kingdom (UK), US Empire

Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network is launching a new zine, “What to do when you, too, become a ‘terrorist’” — inspired by our own experience being banned in Germany and being labeled a “Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT)” by the United States and a “terrorist entity” by Canada, and by the ongoing attempts of the British state to proscribe Palestine Action as a “terrorist” organization. Of course, it is also influenced by the years of state repression targeting a wide array of liberation struggles and movements, from the Black Liberation Movement to Indigenous warriors to Puerto Rican independentistas, not to mention the designation of Palestinian, Lebanese, Yemeni, Iranian, Filipino and other resistance organizations as “terrorists” by the imperialist powers.

Key Nuclear Allegation That Started War On Iran Was Coaxed From Palantir

The sudden claim of Iran being very close to a bomb (that seemingly jumped out of ‘nowhere’ to leave Americans puzzling how could it happen that – in the blink of eye, we are going to war – was subsequently refuted by IAEA Chief Grossi to CNN on 17 June (but only after the abrupt attack on Iran already had taken place): “We did not have any evidence of a systematic effort [by Iran] to move to a nuclear weapon”, Grossi confirmed on CNN. This statement drew the following riposte from Iran by its Foreign Ministry Spokesman, Esmaeil Baqaei on 19 June: “This is too late, Mr. Grossi – you obscured this truth in your absolutely biased report that was instrumentalized by E3/U.S. to craft a resolution with baseless allegation of [Iranian] ‘non-compliance’; the same resolution was then utilized, as a final pretext, by a genocidal warmongering regime to wage a war of aggression on Iran and to launch an unlawful attack on our peaceful nuclear facilities.

Pedagogy And Class Power: Reclaiming Freire In An Age Of Reaction

June 15, 2025 Joe Coleman, Orinoco Tribune. Strategize! Brazil, Capitalism, Class Struggle, Education, Europe, Landless Workers’ Movement (MST), Latin America, Paulo Freire, US Empire

In the early decades of the twenty-first century, education has become a frontline in the ideological struggle over the future of global capitalism. The coordinated assault on teachers, curriculum, and institutions of public learning is not an isolated culture war but a structural feature of neoliberal governance. In this context, the pedagogical philosophy of Paulo Freire demands renewed attention—not as an abstract theory of “engaged learning,” but as a revolutionary praxis situated in a broader Marxist tradition of class struggle.¹ Freire’s Pedagogy of the Oppressed, first published in 1970, emerged not from elite seminar rooms but from literacy campaigns among Brazil’s dispossessed.

Systemic Decay And The Economic Foundation Of American Fascism

June 12, 2025 Colin Jenkins, Orinoco Tribune. Strategize! American Fascism, Austerity, Deindustrialization, Fascism, Globalization, Karl Marx, Neoliberalism, US Empire, Vladimir Lenin, World War II

If you live in the United States and feel like everything is caving in around you, like you are being attacked and fleeced from every angle, like you can’t breathe, like you can’t ever seem to catch a break despite doing everything seemingly right, like you are on the verge of a mental-health crisis and/or homelessness, your feelings are justified. We are living in the middle of widespread societal breakdown. We are witnessing the erosion of an empire. We are experiencing the effects of a rotten system (capitalism) coming to its inevitable conclusion. Simply put, the capitalist class and their two political parties have run out of ways to steal from us. Because we have nothing left for them to take. So, the system is responding like a vampire who is unable to find the blood it needs to survive… erratic, rabid, frenzied, and increasingly desperate and violent, while frantically searching for new avenues of exploitation to keep it churning.

The Rule Of Idiots

June 7, 2025 Chris Hedges, Scheer Post. Educate! Donald Trump, Failed State, History, US Empire

The last days of dying empires are dominated by idiots. The Roman, Mayan, French, Habsburg, Ottoman, Romanoff, Iranian and Soviet dynasties crumbled under the stupidity of their decadent rulers who absented themselves from reality, plundered their nations and retreated into echo chambers where fact and fiction were indistinguishable. Donald Trump, and the sycophantic buffoons in his administration, are updated versions of the reigns of the Roman emperor Nero, who allocated vast state expenditures to attain magical powers; the Chinese emperor Qin Shi Huang, who funded repeated expeditions to a mythical island of immortals to bring back a potion that would give him eternal life.
