Far from being a personal whim of Trump's or a trap set by the Mossad, the US-Israel war on Iran is the logical conclusion of decades of imperialist policy, with bipartisan and European approval backing it up.

Ankara’s capitalist rationality identifies not Israel’s presence in the region, but rather Iran’s “game-changing” moves as the primary threat. The Turkish Bonapartist regime, confined in Syria to merely blocking the Kurdish corridor, is condemned to a similar “buffer” role in the Iran-Israel tension. This predicament—caught between protecting Iran’s gas flows (its economic lifeline) and serving as the West’s forward outpost (Kürecik, etc.)—highlights the vast gulf between the appetite for “sub-imperialist expansionism” and real power.

For the Iranian people to be able to choose their destiny, Trump’s offensive must first be defeated. History demonstrates—from the partisans of Yugoslavia to the revolutionaries of China, and including the lesson of the MEK’s failure when Iraq invaded Iran, and the crimes committed by the recent U.S. occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan—that the working class can only advance if it joins the struggle against the invader.

The struggle by JBS workers in Greeley extends beyond the shop floor. The issues of immigration and human trafficking also play a central role in understanding the relationship between the JBS workers and the managers and owners. Meatpacking workers are a highly immigrant sector of the class, and close to 50 languages are spoken on the floor of the plant. In Greeley, a significant number of the workers are Haitian immigrants, protected by Temporary Protective Status (TPS), a program that is now under attack by the Trump administration.

It has been less than 20 years since the Great Recession. The paltry reforms that Dodd-Frank introduced have failed to stop Wall Street from finding ways to gamble with the wealth of society.

His legacy is essential for understanding the history and memory of Palestine. His research is crucial for understanding the […]

The following article was originally published on the IWL website in 2017: The German news agency DW, citing the Venezuelan Observatory on Social Conflict (OVCS), claims that ‘the colectivos’ are parapolice and paramilitary groups operating in close coordination with other state security forces. DW concludes that: ‘Unarmed civilians in Venezuela are the ones most likely […]

The fightback to block the rollout of Palantir’s FDP is well and truly on across England. Health workers have been spearheading the campaign with significant support from health justice groups and Palestine solidarity groups. Last year, the BMA (the doctor’s union) passed a motion rejecting the FDP and resolved to lobby relevant NHS bodies to terminate the contract. The union is currently developing guidance for members on when and how to refuse to use the FDP without compromising patient safety while at work. This is with the view to move ‘away from the platform entirely’ when a suitable alternative has been developed. 

Joseph “Country Joe“ McDonald, a key figure of the psychedelic music scene in San Francisco and the 1960s counterculture, died of complications from Parkinson’s on March 7, 2026. From the start to the end, Country Joe was man of the left. He was born on Jan. 1, 1942, the son of two active members of […]

Teachers state that there are serious disparities in wages and rights between them and the Italian teachers working at the same school. Despite performing the same work, Turkish teachers receive significantly lower pay, cannot benefit equally from social rights, and have suffered major economic losses in recent years. They also emphasize that they have not received any wage increases for the past three years, and that the proposed raise rates do not correspond to Turkey’s current economic realities.

Upon returning to power, Donald Trump wasted no time in resuming his environmental destruction by the stroke of his felt-tip pen.

Beyond the horror of Epstein and other ruling-class figures' crimes, the Epstein scandal shows how, at the end of the day, the bourgeoisie stands united

Trump's Board of Peace further subjugates Palestinians, at the same time that it threatens to replace the UN-based imperialist system with something far worse

Despite claims by Trump and his minions, voter fraud in the U.S. is very rare. But his lies still set the basis for meddling with elections, and doing away with the rest of our democratic rights along the way

The modern police apparatus in the United States is based on the principles of intelligence fusion and intelligence-led policing. These are fancy ways of saying that all of the various police agencies are in communication and organization with each other using methods of mass surveillance, informant networks, and community engagement to enforce capitalist social order.  The ways that this communication and organization is organized are concrete and easy to identify, but largely undiscussed by politicians and the mainstream press. They are also more expansive than the police, or even the state, including in their networks large corporations’ and other private surveillance as well as executives and other elites.
