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 […]

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 […]

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

On March 13, Palestinian immigrant worker Leqaa Kordia, 33, a U.S. resident, will mark exactly one year since her detention by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and given a political prison sentence disguised as an immigration status case. She remains incarcerated in a detention center in Texas.

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.

The central dividing line in this war is clear. The United States and Israel have launched an imperialist assault on a sovereign country, openly demanding regime change and killing hundreds of civilians in the process. Whatever crimes the Islamic Republic has committed against its own people—and they are many—this does not grant Washington or Tel Aviv the right to bomb Iran, assassinate its leaders, or determine its political future. The right to remove the regime belongs to the Iranian people alone.

US imperialism and Israel are attacking Iran right now. This attack is set to be much larger than the one in June 2025. The bombings have already hit several Iranian cities, including Tehran, Isfahan, Qom, Tabriz, and others. Both Trump and Netanyahu openly aim to eliminate Khamenei and Iran’s leadership. They seek not only to […]

With the launch of his Peace Council at the World Economic Forum in Davos on January 22, US President Donald Trump is attempting to carry out his long-cherished and shamelessly publicized project to establish a Middle Eastern Riviera in Gaza by February 2025. Amidst the suffering of the Palestinian people in the face of ongoing genocide, he sees an opportunity to establish his luxury resort in full view of the world, while giving carte blanche to Israel, imperialism's military enclave, to carry out the final solution in the ongoing Nakba—the Palestinian catastrophe that has lasted for almost 78 years.

This article is a synthesis that contains parts of articles published in Correo Internacional in 2017 and 2019, as well as articles published on the LIT-CI website in 2020. Within the polemics of the different left currents, they tend to discuss the policies towards Maduro’s administration, the Constituent Assembly, and/or imperialism. But, unfortunately, little is […]

San Francisco educators and school workers have won our first strike in nearly 50 years. The strike galvanized our entire union, garnered support from the City’s working-class, and forced a long-intransigent district to concede on our key demands for better working and living conditions.

During the 2024 presidential debates between Biden and Trump, Trump pushed the lurid accusation that Haitian immigrants were “eating cats and dogs.” This claim had percolated up through social media for a while before being picked up by professional agitator Christopher Rufo, well-known for popularizing right-ring panics like the one over “critical race theory.” Rufo […]

Despite their union leadership’s betrayal, rank-and-file nurses refused to back down. Led by their executive committee, NYP strikers called an emergency rally at 11 a.m. on Feb. 11 by Herald Square. Around 100 nurses marched to the NYSNA Manhattan headquarters to protest the betrayal by their union leadership and chanted outside the building while their bargaining committee delivered a petition demanding accountability and an open hearing with NYSNA president Nancy Hagans. According to local executive committee president Beth Loudin, the petition had garnered over 1500 signatures from striking nurses overnight.
