A crushing defeat for authoritarian populism

Parliamentary elections were held in Hungary last Sunday. The results left no room for doubt: a massive rejection at the polls brought an end to Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s sixteen-year rule. Moreover, Orbán’s defeat deals a serious blow to both Putin and Trump at the same time. As the results came in, a sea of people flooded the streets of Budapest and other cities. The Hungarian masses categorically refuse to continue down Orbán’s path. It remains to be seen—beyond his campaign promises—what course his successor, Péter Magyar, will take.

Defend Tom Alter and fight the New McCarthyism!
Dr. Alter is one of many teachers, professors, and student activists on the front lines of attacks under the New McCarthyism, especially targeting the teaching of ideas about gender, race, and settler colonialism in Palestine. These attacks are only escalating as the ruling class increasingly turns to authoritarian methods.

Trump and Netanyahu fall short, and a two-week ceasefire begins

Trump and Netanyahu fall short, and a two-week ceasefire begins
After 40 days of aggression against Iran, with over 15,000 bombings, widespread destruction, and 2,000 Iranian deaths, virtually none of the imperialists' main objectives were achieved. The imperialist-Zionist dream of a new Middle East under Israeli hegemony is slipping away. Iran emerges stronger and keeps its sights set on Israel’s main ally in the Gulf, the United Arab Emirates, as well as other signatories of the shameful Abraham Accords, which normalized relations with Israel at the cost of Palestinian lives.

Down with U.S. imperialism! A trip in support of the Cuban people

Down with U.S. imperialism! A trip in support of the Cuban people
Last week, I was in Cuba. It is the country of the most celebrated revolution on the continent, a small Caribbean island that stood up to an empire and won not only independence, but also education, healthcare and, for a time, a planned economy geared towards the needs of workers and the Cuban people. Today, […]

No Kings rallies brought millions of protesters into the streets

No Kings rallies brought millions of protesters into the streets
The No Kings mobilization on March 28 was a powerful outcry against the forces of war and reaction. It was the largest single-day outpouring of street protests in U.S. history. The massive flood of people was fueled by widespread opposition to the U.S. and Israeli war on Iran, as well as by the resistance to ICE’s immigrant roundups shown by the people of Minneapolis in the winter.

London’s biggest ever British demonstration against the far right

London’s biggest ever British demonstration against the far right
Half a million people marched in London on 28 March against the far right and for many other reasons. It was organised by Together Alliance, a coalition formed in 2020 to oppose racism and the far right, which brought together over 80 organisations from trade unions to community groups, anti-racist organizations, and environmental activists.

Britain: Stop the US-Israeli Blitzkrieg on Iran

Britain: Stop the US-Israeli Blitzkrieg on Iran
During March, Starmer declared that military action against Iran is “not our war”, but then allowed three B-52 nuclear-capable American bombers to use Diego Garcia’s UK base in the Indian Ocean for ‘defensive’ strikes against Iran. As we write, the UK government is working with the USA on a ‘viable’ plan to open the Strait of Hormuz, and HMS Dragon, a Type 45 destroyer, is en route, with several minesweepers available.

The “NO” victory in the referendum: Now is the time to bring down Meloni with strikes and protests!

The “NO” victory in the referendum: Now is the time to bring down Meloni with strikes and protests!
On March 22 and 23, with very high turnout, the Italian electorate voted against the Nordio-Meloni reform. The “No” vote won by a wide margin, beating the “Yes” vote by two million votes. This result is clearly the fruit of the massive mobilizations last fall—on September 22 and October 3 and 4—and of a new generation entering politics to oppose imperialist wars, the Meloni government’s complicity in the Zionist genocide in Palestine, imperialist rearmament, and Trump’s wars.

The Iran War is not an accident

The Iran War is not an accident
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.

The Turkish Regime’s Fortification of the ‘Internal Front’: A Ruling Class Offensive in the Shadow of the Iran War

The Turkish Regime’s Fortification of the ‘Internal Front’: A Ruling Class Offensive in the Shadow of the Iran War
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.

Despite growing crises, Trump continues his attacks

Despite growing crises, Trump continues his attacks
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.

Solidarity with the JBS meatpacking workers strike!

Solidarity with the JBS meatpacking workers strike!
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.
