US imperialism is engaging in brutal blackmail against Ukraine, a betrayal that has been waiting in the wings since the beginning of the war.

While official discourse says that the Knesset elections are "critically important", the political results have already been set in advance. Israel's government will continue to have an overwhelming majority in the Knesset of racist deputies, dedicated to Jewish supremacy and the expansion of the Zionist colonialist project at the expense of the native Palestinian population and neighboring Arab peoples.

Maricarmen was 87 years old when they evicted her from her home. That was the spark. Within a few days, what began as a fight to stop an eviction turned into demonstrations. Protest camps spread from Madrid to other cities; thousands of young people filled the streets; and what began as an economic grievance became […]

Vladyslav "Iskra" Zhuravlev survived detention in a Russian POW camp and faced extra punishment because of his leftist beliefs. Now free in Ukraine, he shares his experiences from the front lines and beyond.

The Emergence, Growth, and Characteristics of a Large-Scale Mobilization Just a few days before the start of the school year, there were teachers’ strikes and high school blockades, independent of the movement that emerged later: in Mayotte (Indian Ocean), in Rennes, in Villeneuve d’Ascq, and in Caen. But it was the Saint-Exupéry High School in […]

We reprint here two urgent messages from the ongoing uprising in Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir. For months now, Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir, has been the site of a massive social upheaval as a millions strong movement has called for autonomy and economic relief from the dictatorial government of Pakistan. Following a surge in the movement in July, the government of Pakistan has responded with brutal repression, cutting internet access to the region, brutally attacking protests and arresting organizers. In solidarity with the broader struggle for national liberation across Pakistan-, India-, and Chinese-occupied Jammu and Kashmir, we call for the release of Sajid Khan!

The CJP first protested against the education minister following the horrible mishandling of the NEET exam. The youth protesters in Delhi were met with heavy handed policing back then, this time the government came out even stronger against the protests. The July and August protests resulted in the resignation of the then Education Minister. The success of the earlier protests emboldened the youth movement that has formed under the banner of the “Cockroach Janata Party” (Cockroach People Party).

All over the United States, grassroots opposition is growing against expanding mass surveillance, data center construction, and the ongoing crackdowns on immigrants and democratic rights. Technologies like Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs) face opposition in town and city halls around the country. Community members from all walks of life are organizing networks to raise awareness about ICE activities in their neighborhoods. After a year of ICE and CBP violently occupying and terrorizing working-class communities from coast to coast, the call to “abolish ICE” is being raised by even some mainstream Democratic Party politicians.

Outrage has swept across the United States and around the world in response to the emergence of the details of a horrific gang rape in a frat house at Cornell, one of the country’s most prestigious academic institutions. A short week later, almost on the other side of the country in Arizona, the story broke […]

“After the Paris Commune had been drowned in blood and the reactionary knaves of the whole world dragged its banner in the filth of vilification and slander, there were not a few democratic Philistines who, adapting themselves to reaction, slandered the Communards for shooting 64 hostages headed by the Paris archbishop. Marx did not hesitate […]

By Javier Martínez and Jordi García for Corriente Roja, Spanish State Exactly one week ago today, Maricarmen was evicted. This event sparked one of Spain’s most significant ongoing conflicts: the housing crisis. It was just one of more than 25,000 evictions that take place each year, highlighting the plight of the working class, who are […]

Puerto Rico is of financial and military importance as a colony to the U.S. imperial core. There is an immensely tight grip around the archipelago because it is an outpost for the Caribbean, giving the U.S. greater ability to pursue its imperialist domination in the rest of Latin America and the globe. Just as reformist policies will do nothing for Boricuas against Esencia, the U.S. will not grant or negotiate the freedom of its subjects unless a counterforce is mobilized to seize what is needed and break Borikén’s colonial chains.

Unlike Flávio Bolsonaro, who seeks to fully subordinate Brazil to Trump’s interests, and unlike Lula—whose vision of sovereignty is limited to selling off Brazil’s natural wealth to the highest bidder (whether to Chinese or U.S. imperialism)—the PSTU advocates for sovereignty rooted in the interests of the working class.

From September 18 to 20, voting for the parliament—known as the State Duma—took place over three days and three nights. There have been no free or democratic elections in the country for several decades. In particular, since Putin came to power, elections have been a mere formality within a regime whose central institution is the FSB—the direct successor to the KGB. The State Duma and the Federation Council serve a purely decorative function, with a handful of parties under the regime’s strict control. But on this occasion, due to the economic, social, demographic, political, and military crisis engulfing the country—a result of its imperialist war in Ukraine becoming bogged down—that regime revealed its enormous fragility. And the “election results” it presented to the world only heightened its embarrassing ridicule.

The search for alternatives has led Saudi Arabia, the most powerful and independent of the Gulf monarchies, to construct an alliance with Pakistan and Turkiye. Today, the pact has been formalized as the Mecca pact, involving three countries. This new defensive military alliance, grants Saudi Arabia security under Pakistan’s nuclear umbrella and the security of Turkish military power. For Turkiye and Pakistan, it provides reach into the wider Arabian Peninsula while for Pakistan, allows it both economic support from the Saudis (in exchange of military security) and potential for economic and diplomatic blackmail against India, as Saudi Arabia remains one of India’s main oil suppliers.
