A World on Fire

“I call all the shots. He doesn’t call the shots.” Or so Donald Trump says. In light of the recent fragile ceasefire in the Middle East, we are addressing this head-on.

After a short hiatus, we are back delivering analysis and a Marxist perspective on the inner workings of the British state and British capitalism. Trapped in an age of political spectacle and impotence, the system is driving increasing frustration for both the ruling class and, most importantly, the working class.

We begin this season by connecting the dots between a capitalist ruling class responsible for the historic crimes of the Nakba and the crises of today: racism, war, and poverty

We’re digging into the systemic roots of racism and explain the WHOLE capitalist class are promoting these divisive ideas. Why did BLM reach a dead-end? More importantly we look at how the class struggle can be used to fight racism in Britain and beyond.

To mark International Working Women’s Day, we’re tackling your questions head-on. From the rise of the “manosphere” to the persistence of misogyny on social media, we explore why the fight for women’s liberation often feels like it’s moving in reverse.

As events escalated in the Middle East over the weekend, Britain found itself unceremoniously dragged into another criminal conflict. Despite Donald Trump’s evident contempt for “Sir” Keir Starmer, the Prime Minister has fallen right in line behind the latest US-Israeli attack on Iran.

With the political centre in collapse and Labour struggling to maintain an image of control, we discuss to what extent Nigel Farage can truly emulate the Trump model.

Meanwhile, a major showdown looms in Gorton and Denton between Reform and the Greens. As many ask if Farage is “Britain’s Trump,” we examine whether the Green Party’s message of “Hope” is enough to halt Reform’s momentum.

Donald Trump’s threats to annex Greenland have effectively taken a bulldozer to NATO and all other western institutions. Despite Keir Starmer’s speeches and diplomatic efforts, he appears powerless to bridge the growing divide between Europe and the United States.

Britain has pushed for regime change in Venezuela for decades. Though Britain played no direct role in the criminal abduction of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro by US forces, the UK government has offered its tacit support.

As the White House launches its Anti-Communist Week, the right wing seems increasingly puzzled by one question: why are so many young people in the West drawn to communist ideas

Why do capitalists go to war? Is it enough to point to the profits of the arms industry, or is war and militarism rooted more deeply in the very foundations of the capitalist system itself?
