Balochistan: a long tale of oppression and resistance – what is the solution?
The struggle of the Baloch people in Pakistan has reached unprecedented levels, while state repression and the brutality by the Pakistani ruling class have exceeded all limits. It is hell-bent on crushing the aspirations of these oppressed people.

The global arms race intensifies: imperialism, militarism, and capitalism
As the world becomes a more dangerous place, it seems we are once again being asked by our governments to love the bomb.

Moves to impeach Brazilian MP Glauber Braga! Solidarity and mobilisation in defence of his mandate!
The moves to impeach the popular left-wing MP Glauber Braga have been stepped up. The case goes back to April last year when Glauber, a Socialism and Liberty Party (PSOL) member of parliament for Rio de Janeiro, was assaulted in parliament by members of the far-right Free Brazil Movement (MBL). He confronted them and physically ejected them from the parliamentary building. Now, he is being accused of conduct unbecoming of an elected representative, and the Chamber’s Ethics Council has started a trial to remove him as a member of parliament.

Spring statement: Starmer and Reeves sharpen their knives
Karl Marx once compared capitalism to an insatiable vampire, gorging itself by sucking the life out of the working class. As a trusted servant of British capitalism, it seems that ‘Sir’ Keir Starmer has also developed a taste for blood.

The truth about World War 2: Marxist historian sets the record straight
The Second World War is one of the most mythologised events in history. In the West, we are led to believe that Winston Churchill and Roosevelt single-handedly led the Allies in a struggle for democracy against the fascist totalitarianism of Nazi Germany. But what’s the real story of WWII, the one they don’t teach you at school?

US-China trade war: who holds the cards?
The global trade war launched by Trump has already resolved into one between the two dominant actors of the world economy, the US and China. The question is posed: who holds the cards? Who will blink first? This question determines the fate of the world economy.

“Guns, not butter!” – European imperialism’s doomed attempt at asserting its role in the world
It is just six weeks since US Vice President JD Vance spoke at the Munich Security Conference in February and told Europe that the decades-old relationship the US had with the old continent was over. Ever since, the European leaders have been frantically running around from one summit to another – from a virtual meeting to a gathering of the ‘coalition of the willing’ – looking in all directions and none at the same time to try and deal with this major shift in world relations.

Britain: Gary, Jeremy, and the super-rich – how do we make the billionaires pay for this crisis?
While workers and the poor face ever-greater hardships, the super-rich are making a killing. In response to this gaping wealth divide, left wingers in Britain like Jeremy Corbyn and Gary Stevenson are saying we should ‘tax the rich’. But does this offer a real solution?

First Congress of the RCP in Italy – Revolutionary Communists are on the advance!
From 11 to 13 April, the First Congress of the Revolutionary Communist Party (PCR) in Italy was held in Cervia. Exactly one year earlier, the political organisation Sinistra Classe Rivoluzione decided to establish itself as a party and raise the flag of revolutionary communism, calling together all young people and workers ready to do battle against the capitalist system. A year later, the exciting growth of the party's forces and the tumultuous development of events on a global scale offer the best confirmation of the courageous choice we made and the political perspectives on which we base our action.

France: on the sentencing of Marine Le Pen
The sentencing of Marine Le Pen to five years of ineligibility for elected office, with immediate effect, is a political earthquake whose aftershocks and effects will be considerable. On the eve of this sentence, a new poll placed Marine Le Pen far ahead of all her competitors in the presidential election. Today, the leader of the Rassemblement National (RN) has been ruled out – perhaps definitively – from the next race to the Elysée.

Trump’s tariff programme deepens protectionist tendencies in world economy
Trump is about to announce his new tariff package on what he termed ‘liberty day’. Commentators, politicians, diplomats and CEOs are scrambling to work out what is coming. Trump, characteristically, has kept everyone waiting. But although the details aren’t clear, the direction of travel is.

Sweden in the world wars – Part one: Making gold out of bombs
For Sweden, both world wars followed the same pattern: first they supported Germany, then they turned tail and supported the other side when the tide of war turned. Contrary to the lie of a neutral and compassionate Sweden, the only thing that mattered to the war hawks was how much money they could make from the slaughter and destruction. But there were also those who fought back: the left and the Communists.

Britain: nationalising the losses – Labour’s emergency rescue for British Steel
Over the weekend, the Labour government passed emergency legislation to take control of steel – in particular Scunthorpe’s steelworks. While the union leaders breathe a sigh of relief, we say: No trust in Starmer! Expropriate all the parasites!

Who was Karl Marx?
Karl Marx was a German philosopher, economist and journalist, and above all a revolutionary. He continues to haunt the nightmares of the rich and powerful, just as he inspires workers, the poor and youth to struggle for a future without exploitation and oppression. The popular CrashCourse channel has attempted to explain Marx’s theories and their continued relevance, but we think we can do better…

The case of Marine Le Pen: how the ‘democrats’ are destroying democracy
To begin with the glaringly obvious. The author of these lines has absolutely nothing in common with Marine Le Pen, or the ideology or the movement for which she is the most visible head.

Germany: victory for the Palestine movement as case against Adrian dropped!
The Würzburg public prosecutor has dropped the charges against our comrade Adrian. They no longer consider the exclamation “Yallah Intifada, Intifada until victory!”, which was contained in his speech at a pro-Palestine demonstration, to be a criminal offense. This is a great success for the entire Palestine movement!

Canada: ruling class places its bets on Mark Carney
