The Mirage of a Palestinian State
2 weeks 3 days ago
More countries recognizing a hypothetical entity called “State of Palestine” is positive in terms of its symbolic impact in recognizing the Palestinian people's right to a state, a right denied by most components of the Zionist establishment, especially the far-right Zionist spectrum that currently governs Israel. However, the meanings and implications of this recognition greatly vary with time.

Ukraine's New Cabinet: Neoliberal Reforms Threaten Wartime Solidarity
3 weeks ago
Ukraine's first government reshuffle since Russia's full-scale invasion has brought Yulia Svyrydenko to power as Prime Minister, but this change offers little hope for ordinary Ukrainians facing wartime hardships. Rather than addressing critical shortages in defence resources and rising poverty, the new cabinet appears committed to accelerating neoliberal reforms that prioritise private capital over public welfare.

Racist riots in Murcia
3 weeks 2 days ago
Torre Pacheco, a Spanish town of 40,000 inhabitants located in the province of Murcia, has become the scene of large-scale racist violence since 12 July. Organized far-right groups are going there from all over the country to carry out veritable manhunts for North African men, and more particularly Moroccans. It is reminiscent of the images that came to us from the United Kingdom a few months ago.

3 weeks 4 days ago
Sunday, 20 July 1995, marks three decades since the death of Ernest Mandel (1923-1995) "the most creative economist of our time," in the words of the Pakistani socialist Tariq Ali. Thus ended a whole life informed by the passion of revolutionary militancy and an intense activity in the construction of Marxist organizations and of the international itself.

Two Dead Americans—Two Americas
3 weeks 6 days ago
Last week, the nation's attention focused on two dead Americans, two men who couldn't be more different, two men who seem to embody the nation's divided politics, culture, and morality. One was John Lewis, the African American civil rights leader and legislator who died five years ago. The other was Jeffrey Epstein, the wealthy socialite and convicted pedophile who provided elite businessmen and politicians access to underage girls.

Starmer's first year – things can only get worse

Sitting in number 10 Downing Street after the government's debacle and U turn over the welfare, Prime Minister Keir Starmer's Chief of Staff Morgan McSweeney must have thought: these people are so ungrateful.
“Here they are taking a wrecking ball to Reeves and Kendall's project to save £5 billion with welfare cuts. But I made these MPs. I ensured nearly every left wing candidate had been eliminated early from any selection process. My team assiduously sifted through thousands of social (…)

Syria and the Dangers of Playing with Fire

Whatever is the origin of the recent bloody clashes in the Suwayda Governorate—whether they were merely the result of the chaos prevailing in post-Assad Syria, or a manoeuvre by Israel in order to escalate its hypocritical intervention in the region, or a manoeuvre by Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) to extend its control over southern Syria—what is unmistakable is that the first factor, the prevailing chaos, provided the conditions for the explosion.
