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.

March 8 is a historic day of struggle on which working women rise up against exploitation and domination. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the resistance of women workers in textile factories, against low wages, long working hours, and inhumane conditions, laid the foundations of today’s women’s struggle. That resistance continues today against a system of exploitation whose roots run deep.

Turkiye’s stance, behind a mask of supposed neutrality, continues its cooperation with the U.S.–Israel bloc. Trade with Israel has continued for years. While the Kürecik radar base monitors Iranian airspace together with radar installations in Azerbaijan, the extent of the U.S. Air Force’s support for operations from the Incirlik Air Base remains unclear due to media censorship. Turkiye aims to transform its rising influence in the region, following the weakening of the Assad dictatorship in Syria, into regional hegemony with the weakening of Iran.

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.

As Afghanistan and Pakistan slip into war, nationalism now dominates political discourse. The Pakistani elite accuses Afghan leadership of harboring terrorism, while Afghan authorities speak of sovereignty. Yet on both sides, structural violence is ignored: unemployment, extremely weak public services (education and health sectors among the lowest state expenditures), and militarized politics that channel vast resources into destruction instead of social investment.

The protests stands as one of the largest single action by workers anywhere in India. These are contract workers, many of whom come from rural regions of Bihar and North India, they come for a better life to Haryana. Their labour built up one of India’s fastest growing industrial regions. Yet, for their sacrifices, they aren’t given the basic respect of a regular pay.

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.

There has been a general strike almost every year since the year 2010, yet the Indian capitalist class has grown only bolder in its attacks on the working class. It is important to understand why this contradiction exists, and to understand the general strike in context.

Four years after the large-scale invasion on February 24, 2022, and the occupation of Ukraine by the army of one of the world's greatest military powers, we can see that Putin has suffered a strategic defeat, regardless of the final outcome of the war. His goal was to conquer Kyiv in “a few days,” and replace it with a subservient regime. In this goal, he has completely failed, and Ukrainian resistance remains stronger than ever

Palantir, a US AI and tech firm, is set to roll out a platform for amalgamating all patient data in NHS England. In 2021, they were awarded a £300 million contract for the project. And yet four years on, just 15 percent of NHS trusts are using it and there is sizeable pushback from NHS workers and patients. So who is Palantir? How did we get to where we are now?

As Russia’s full-scale war on Ukraine enters its fifth year on Feb. 24, the UKRAINE SOLIDARITY NETWORK (US) calls on progressive and peace-minded people to renew their moral, political, and material support for the people of Ukraine in their resistance to Russia’s invasion and their rights to self-defense and self-determination.

Lately, although Trump’s military operation in Venezuela, the threats to Greenland, the social explosion in Iran in the face of the Ayatollah’s tyranny’s repression and the continued genocide in Gaza dominate the global agenda, Ukraine remains one of those powder kegs and silent carnages amidst the earthly chaos, under the skies. The class struggle in […]

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 […]
