Cuban Women Rally Against U.S. Blockade
FMC Secretary Teresa Amarelle Boue highlighted that this event is the result of a process of dialogue in communities where Cuban women are raising their voices against U.S. policy, which she described as genocidal. “The U.S. blockade not only affects productive activities but also directly alters life in households,” she said, thanking the support for the Cuban people shown by organizations such as the World March of Women and the Women’s International Democratic Federation.

Fewer buses on Argentina's streets as fuel costs rise and subsidies go unpaid
Public transport buses in the capital and its densely populated outskirts are running at reduced frequencies due to rising fuel prices linked to the war in the Middle East and delays in subsidy payments, industry sources said on Tuesday. The drop in activity has led to long queues of passengers queueing at the main transport hubs connecting the capital with its surrounding areas. Some two million people commute between the two regions daily.

In Brazil’s capital, Indigenous leaders rally as land disputes and mining pressures grow
Indigenous leaders also sought to apply pressure on President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, who has supported Indigenous rights and environmental stewardship in Latin America’s largest nation while also pushing oil and other projects that appear to go against those aims. The leftist leader is expected to run for reelection in October.

As Trump Threatens Genocidal Attack, House Democrats Rebuked for Dragging Feet on War Powers Vote
Journalist Adam Johnson, however, noted that Democrats had a chance to “stop the madness” weeks ago, when it seemed they may have had the votes to pass a war powers resolution in the House at the end of March that would have limited Trump’s ability to further strike Iran. But instead, said Johnson, “ranking Member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee Gregory Meeks (D-N.Y.) delayed the House War Powers vote until mid-April.”

US is ‘using Mexico as a garbage sink’ leading to ‘toxic crisis’, UN expert says
Orellana, whose title is UN special rapporteur on toxics and human rights, conducted an 11-day investigative mission in Mexico last month to learn about toxic threats facing its population. He said he found lax environmental standards and a lack of oversight, which have allowed pollution to accumulate over the years.

The capitalists are preparing for class war – and so must we
If you want to know which party the ruling class is planning to use as their loyal servants next, watch the changing tides in the flow of political donations. Traditionally, these funds ran directly to the Conservative Party – but after 15 years of using up every last drop of credibility, the financial stream started flowing in Labour’s direction. Sensing this, Labour readily sucked up to the City of London and promised to do their bidding. Lo and behold, in 2023, they received a record £13 million in individual donations! In 2024, the year of the general election, they also outraised all other parties. Just under two years later, Labour’s credibility has been wrecked, and Reform UK is now the party receiving the most donations from wealthy backers. In just the last three months of 2025, Farage’s party received over £5.4 million in large donations. £3 million of that came from one particular parasite – Christopher Harborne, a cryptocurrency investor and CEO of an offshore aviation company.

Another way to live: inside the fight for Prosfygika
On 5 February, 2026, Aristotelis Chantzis began a hunger strike to the death to defend his home from the latest development attempt that would result in the violent eviction of over 400 people. The next attack is imminent. Surrounded on either side by the police headquarters of Athens and the supreme court – two pillars of state power – the eight housing blocks that make up the squatted community of Prosfygika stand proud and unflinching – and always threatened. The neighbourhood is marked by a long history, both as a haven for refugees in Athens since the 1930s (Prosfygika means 'refugee homes' in Greek) and as a stronghold of partisan resistance in the December 1944 uprising, which left the blocks scarred by bullet holes. Today, the neighbourhood plays a key role in the fight against the ongoing state-backed gentrification of Athens. For most of the residents, living in Prosfygika is not a choice. It is imposed by the realities of housing in the city, which forces people without homes to squat. Many residents have lived in the neighbourhood all their lives, always on the Post too long.

Yes, also huge damage to NATO, confidence shook in the US being able to protect maritime trade, and guarantee energy transport to Asian allies, push for Green energy and decarbonization, weakening of US weapons stock and deterrence in Asia among others.

—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇱/🇮🇷 WHAT HAPPENED, BASED ON CURRENT INFORMATION:

– The U.S. has agreed to stop all attacks against Iran for a period of two weeks.

– In return, Iran will not strike U.S. assets or other targets in the Persian Gulf during that time period.

– The Strait of Hormuz remains CLOSED during these two weeks, but if Iran doesn’t open it, the war will resume (according to Trump)

– Israel is NOT part of the ceasefire and Iran will continue targeting it.

https://whorulesamerica.ucsc.edu/theory/marxism.html
<Marxism's emphasis on historical materialism is too narrow a base for understanding the complexity and variety of power structures across time and places. The idea that all power is rooted ultimately in the ownership and control of the means of production, with the ensuing class struggle providing the motor of history, does not fit the origins of civilization in the years from 3000 to 2300 B.C.E., when most property was held by the state and there was no class conflict; nor the 2500 years of empires of domination, when military networks were in the ascendancy; nor the 900 years after the fall of the Roman Empire, when the ideology network called "Christendom" combined with the independent armies of the nobility to create the framework within which a class-ridden capitalism and a closely intertwined system of nation-states began to rise to the fore.
<In short, there have been great stretches of history when economic forces, no matter how broadly conceived to accommodate the Marxian claim about the primacy of the "mode of production," were not primary in either the first or last instance. Moreover, there were other epochs where the activities of the ruling class were far more important in understanding new developments than any "class struggle" with direct producers, who were far too localized and lacking in organizational infrastructure to challenge the dominant class, let alone to be considered a class themselves.

Is Khrushchev /ourguy/? What does /leftypol/ think of him? Was he right to shit on Stalin in the Secret Speech?

From Socialism AI:

From a Trotskyist, materialist-historical standpoint, Nikita Khrushchev (First Secretary 1953–1964) was not a corrective of the Stalinist counter-revolution nor a socialist renewer. He was a leading figure of the Soviet bureaucracy—a managerial caste that emerged out of objective conditions created by a revolutionary past and the protracted international isolation of the USSR. Khrushchev’s policies represented attempts by layers of the bureaucracy to stabilize and legitimize their rule amid profound social and international contradictions, not a restoration of genuine proletarian democracy or socialism.

>that deal was comtemplated into the overall strategy against Iran
NTA but that doesn't make any sense - why would they make a peace deal (that was working perfectly) if they planned to invade? Are you saying Obama planned for a future president to rip up the deal and then attack? That's absurd.
American hegemony isn't a monolith, there are competing internal factions who have different strategies and goals.
>this war is a bipartisan thing that has been on the works for a long time
Just because some warhawks wanted it to happen didn't make it a guaranteed thing. Why did it take until Trump to make it happen? Why didn't Reagan or Bush Sr or Clinton or Bush Jr or Obama or Biden do it? And if it was being planned for so long then why has it been a complete disaster?
This war wasn't some grand decades-long machination. There was basically no thought put into it at all. Trump was pushed into it by Israel. Israel has been growing its influence over the past 50 years and now it effectively controls the US government.

the right has always been a sham
from around 1649-1789, it was primarily concerned with the interests of the aristocracy and arbitrarily conserving power. it had no intellectual theory of its own, while the left completely dominated all relevant areas of culture and politics. after 1789, the right was complacent with regulating the aristocracy politically, but also regulating trade to benefit them economically, such as with the corn laws of england, 1815-46 (enacted under the tories) which artificially rose prices so that british landlords could derive greater profits from their sale. Marx also speaks on how the Acts of Union (1801) with Ireland was a conspiracy to create a landed aristocracy in ireland and mass immigration into England (causing immense competition amongst labourers, as Engels notes in 1848 and Marx speaks on in 1869). This Act was also issued by the Tories. The right then in this era, were not at all loyal to the common man, and never have been. After 1900, you get the Labour Party, the first socialist party in Britain, and so the Tories (now conservatives) make these their main enemy. In 1926, there was a general strike in protest of mining companies attempting to lower wages; the resolve of the Conservative government was simply to make general strikes illegal. This led to the election of Ramsay Macdonald, the first labour PM, from 1929-35. After WW2 we get the celebrated welfare state due to the work of Clement Attlee (who also opposed the EEC, or EU, while conservatives promoted inclusion and eventually put the UK in the EU). During the 60s and 70s we get the "new right" in continental europe and the anglosphere. In the anglosphere it is about free market economics, with reactionary cultural values (now, as it will be clear, liberal values come from liberal economics, so it is already a paradox). At the same time, "free market" just means selling public assets off to the highest bidder and exporting national industry to foreigners, creating mass unemployment and dependence on the state (the descent of places in the US like Detroit are entirely synonymous with the exportation of industry, creating welfare slaves who fall into crime - this evidently stains not only racial underclasses but also deindustrialised regions in general). This period (often termed "neoliberalism") passes from around 1979-1989 with Reagan and ThatPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Recently saw a discussion in regards to "Third Worldism" as in MLM + unequal exchange (a non-Wallerstinian branch of world systems theory) having grown in influence in the anglophone/western, largely online, "communist" spaces.
Here is my dialectical engagement, as they were on to something important, not usually recognized, but also partially incorrect. I attempt to correct it ITT.

Unequal exchange, Mao/Chinese aesthetics and purely performative MLM rhetoric has grown in recent years… But with time comes change.

The original 90s ThirdWorldism "movement", centered in north-america diverged from MLM on a variety of theoretical issues, most crucially the revolutionary nature of the proletariat. They supplemented their divergence with integrating post-Marxist turns happening in word-systems theory (which was ongoing in western academia between the 80s and 90s). As ""Maoism" ThirdWorldism" largely accomplished nothing, other than maybe increasing confusion in the communist movement during the era of blackest reaction, we mostly remember them by their cartoony writing and online media available through archives from that era.

So if 90s Third Worldism was a north-american revisionist offshoot from MLM which integrated non-Wallerstinian unequal exchange theory and rejecting revolution in the imperial core for rhetorical "support" of [far off, peripheral countries]… What are the particularities of the contemporary expression?

2020s Third Worldism can be observed as being a north-american right-wing revisionist movement which retains both the non-Wallerstinian unequal exchange theory and the purely symbolic appeals to Mao, but now replacing the "MLM" pretender framing for the simpler, safer state ideology of social-imperialist China; that also just so happens to feign adherence to 'Mao Zedong Thought', even after it was systematically replaced with the Bukharinist-Dengist capitulationist counterrevolution. which is continued today, the true basis for Xi Jinping Thought, as the bureaucrat-monopoly capitalist heading the political line of the party has only deepened the cementation of a new pole in the capitalist imperialist world system since Deng, when neither as many NEZ, stock markets, overall % of bourgeois in the party or billionaires existed in China.

I place it more down to structural issues leading to the reserve army of labor such as the anarchy of production. Over-accumulation leads to wasted work for some and unemployment for others. Small businesses are extremely inefficient in part because they have to do the same HR work every other business has to do. But you can't simply legislate away the greater and greater managerial work caused by the anarchy of production. Socialism in one country will inevitably lead to a massive contradiction between the socialist and capitalist bloc. It's a confusing technical issue tied to the town-country contradiction which I hope telework and other communications innovations will help solve. Nonetheless, I believe the centralized administration of employment by the state is a step forward.

Stop calling this a false flag. The man who attacked this Zio gathering place only did so out of his justified anger over the murder of his family in Lebanon by the Zionist entity. Every and all Zios are NOT “innocent” and should never be mourned.

Realize that the left only shoots itself in the foot when they denounce legitimate acts of resistance as “false flags” and the people engaged in said resistance as “agent provocateurs.” The Years of Lead in Italy were successful for western imperialists largely because communists kept accusing other communists of being provocateurs, e.g. the Italian Communist Party claiming the Red Brigades were agents. When Greek anarchists occupied the Polytechnic in Athens in 1973, the Greek Communist Party denounced them as “CIA agents”, only for the Greek communists to claim credit for the occupations when students from the general student body took over. Likewise, during the George Floyd Uprising, Black activists who engaged in radical direct actions were accused of being agent provocateurs by white peace police. The problem is NEVER comrades who engage in violence aimed at oppressors but ALWAYS the people spreading lies about those direct actions being “false flags.” Learn this.

I see the problem. Personally, I see paganism as rooted in authority rather than tradition per se. IMO "neo-tradition" is a silly concept. So neo-paganism is perfectly sensible for fascists. You're right that paganism doesn't fit into the mold of religion as belief but IMO religion as coherent belief system is really a very modern concept. Historically, religion was basically just a part of the state and the legal system. Not really sure why Christianity should be respected more than paganism which is open about being rooted in authority more than anything else.

Well the same goes for punk too. Like there's a lot of anarchist and anti-capitalist punk, but a lot of hardcore right-wing music has taken on punk as a form of expression. This video is an Italian punk band associated with Casa Pound which is a neofascist group in Italy. (I think this music is garbage but just to illustrate what I'm talking about.)

But an element of fascist politics is youth energy. It gets steered down this ultra-nationalist direction. That doesn't mean youth energy = fascist. Or music that has that energy = fascist. It's definitely a different aesthetic and mood than The Cure.

Article of the kind of stuff I was talking about. Yes, Christianity became dominated early on by Biblical literalism. Not sure why that is more respectable than treating myths as allegory.
