Colombia: The end of the Uribista cycle
Beyond the speculation and the last-minute shifts, there is a climate of tension in the streets of Colombia. Petro himself has been warning of an eventual coup d’état and a fraud that would seek to prevent a triumph that his followers take for granted.
Australia: Good riddance to Morrison, time to fight Labor!
The union leaders have stood by for years while the bosses and governments have got away with whittling away jobs and workplace rights. That has to end.
Israel promises more ethnic cleansing of Palestinians
Despite Israel’s ongoing repression, Palestinians inside the Zionist state and in the occupied Palestinian territories have continued to resist Zionist settler-colonialism, occupation and oppression.
US groups demand full probe after Israeli forces kill journalist Shireen Abu Akleh
Shireen Abu Akleh, a well-known 51-year-old Palestinian-American correspondent, was wearing a helmet and press jacket that clearly identified her as a journalist when Israeli forces shot her in the face as she covered an Israel Defense Forces (IDF) raid on the Jenin refugee camp in the illegally occupied West Bank of Palestine.
Faced with popular hostility Macron imposed his re-election
Not only was Macron badly elected, but half of his votes in the second round were in no way in support of record or his programme. They come from a vote of refusal, to prevent the election of Marine Le Pen, which the polls on the evening of the first round had presented as a serious possibility.
The Imran Khan’s ouster: From ‘New Pakistan’ to the old one!
It is no exaggeration to say that the almost four years of PTI’s stint in power was one of the darkest periods of this country, which only drove society backwards—and in the absence of a mass revolutionary upsurge, its reactionary political, social, and cultural ramifications will continue to haunt Pakistan.

A memorandum on the radical anti-imperialist position regarding the war in Ukraine
The Russian invasion of Ukraine is the second defining moment of the New Cold War in which the world has been plunged since the turn of the century as a result of the US decision to expand NATO.
Russian imperialism under Putin
Imperialist countries invade weaker nations and try to impose their rule over them. Once the world is divided up by the great powers, one imperialist’s gain can come only at the expense of another. That is the nub of the matter today.
The Ukrainian-Syrian-Russian triangle and the world
The relations between Western powers and Russia have never been closer to war since WWII than after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, while the US and Russia was never closer to each other than in Syria after the chemical deal in September 2013.
Understanding Putin’s Russia
Putin’s approval rating spiked after the 2014 annexation of Crimea, as it had fifteen years earlier with the bombing of Chechnya. An ideological climate of conservatism and nationalism has dominated the country for almost ten years, at least among older Russians.
No to war, no to imperialism
Already, the situation has significantly raised the danger of a broader military conflict in Europe. A full scale or even partial invasion of Ukraine will lead to death and destruction on an enormous scale.
