Massacres and starvation in a criminal silence
20 hours 32 minutes ago
The situation in Gaza is terrible, with massacres during the distribution of food aid, starvation imposed by Israel and the systematic destruction of the region. Impunity remains total, and those who speak out against this genocide are silenced.

The social cost of China's resistance to Trump's tariff war
1 day 9 hours ago
Trump's tariffs bullied the whole world. Both Canada and China reacted strongly against them, most countries did not. This garnered a lot of international support for Beijing,. A global poll conducted by Morning Consult showed that in January last year, the U.S. in various countries scored more than 20 points while China scored negatively. However, by the end of May this year, after Trump's “Liberation Day”, the perceptions reversed, with the U.S. at -1.5 and China at +8.8. Many see this as a reflection of people's sympathy with China's resistance to Trump. This comes with a heavy price, however. China's exports have already slowed down since early 2025, and in May it plunged 34.5% year-on-year.

Serbia: controlled, decentralized chaos across the country, but power is waning
3 days ago
Since Sunday night, a veritable game of cat and mouse has been played out on the streets of Belgrade between citizens and the police. The principle is simple and highly effective: erect improvised barricades, block a street or intersection, wait for the police to arrive, then disperse peacefully before starting again further on. In this ballet of non-violent resistance, each withdrawal is a new opening. While the police dismantle the roadblocks, sometimes violently, others form elsewhere. And this elusive movement is spreading throughout the country.

Mobilisations in Argentina: Brief considerations on the current political turmoil
4 days 1 hour ago
“Everything is moving toward the eventual establishment of a new political regime in the country. Massive and sustained popular mobilisation is what can put a stop to this reactionary process, but this must not sideline the national midterm elections next October, which are also a decisive arena for struggle.”

Draft laws play hide-and-seek in Madagascar
5 days ago
In Madagascar, parliamentary bills are kept secret until they are passed. Neither citizens nor MPs can debate texts that are sometimes crucial to the life of the country. In the face of this authoritarian closure, civil society organizations are denouncing an anti-democratic drift orchestrated by Rajoelina's government.

Enhedslisten: Support for more defence - but which defence?

“The new defence and security policy adopted at the annual meeting does not indicate that initiatives to organize protests against military armament will come from this direction - at least not from the party leadership. Time will tell if others take up the task.”

State of the Resistance
1 week 2 days ago
A BIG, BEAUTIFUL popular resistance is trickling up to some of the sites of political power, including the federal courts — although not fast or far enough, by a long shot. That's been the important takeaway from the first 100-plus days of the Trump administration. But we're barely at the beginning of what will be a long battle with ups and downs.

Faced with the Iran-Israel war, a third way is possible!
1 week 3 days ago
While the skies over the Middle East are once again ablaze with smoke and flames, and the media are inundated with talk of ‘Israeli precision strikes' and the ‘promise of token vengeance of the Islamic Republic', what is once again left out is the fate of those who do not take decisions in command rooms or hide in underground bunkers.

The United States at War in the Middle East —Again
1 week 4 days ago
The United States has joined Israel in its war on Iran, increasing the chances for a wider regional war, one that could become a forever-war quagmire as the Iraq War did. President Donald Trump sent B-2 bombers to drop bunker-buster bombs on nuclear facilities in Fordo and Natanz while a submarine launched Tomahawk missiles at another facility in Istfahan.

Already in bad shape after 22 years of Putin's repression, ranging from the criminalization of any critical action by the government to the imprisonment and assassination of opponents, the Russian opposition has had to face increased violence since the invasion of Ukraine.

Miguel Urbán: "There are still set-ups like the one I suffered. There are police infiltrating social movements."

The leader of Anticapitalistas believes that the police plot that sought to implicate him in the alleged sale of 40 kilos of cocaine in 2016 was intended to attack Podemos "at a key moment in the politics of change" and announced, in an interview with elDiario.es, his willingness to take that conspiracy to the courts.

Under the yoke of the militias in Libya
2 weeks 1 day ago
A month ago, the detonations of automatic weapons and heavy artillery resounded in Tripoli, the capital of Libya, putting an end to the illusion of a stabilisation of the country. The responsibility of prime minister Abdul Dbeibah in triggering conflicts between militias to protect his corruption network has aroused popular condemnation.

Down with imperialist wars, no to the Paris Air Show!
2 weeks 1 day ago
With Israel's attack on Iran, the situation in the Middle East is accelerating again, while the international movement for Palestine is growing, especially in France, where the next stop is at Le Bourget airport in northern Paris. The massacre in Gaza gets more unbearable every day, with the murders of Gazans during humanitarian aid distributions, starvation, images of emaciated children and examples of the absolute horror experienced by the people.

The imperial engine of fascism
2 weeks 2 days ago
The far right is on the rise all over the world. Faced with this dynamic, the left is particularly at loggerheads over the right way to describe it: some fringes use the term fascism, while others consider that such a characterisation lacks lucidity. In a number of countries, the far right is now installed in government – at its head or in a coalition. When it has not formally acceded to power, its ideological hegemony over public debate pulls (even more) to the right a ruling class radicalized by the generalized crisis of capitalism. On the left, a lively debate has then opened up concerning the right way to characterise this dynamic: is it relevant to speak of fascisation, or even fascism?
