Recent events in the Atlantic and Mediterranean oceans are a tale of two classes: one, the story of tremendous efforts being made to save five buccaneering billionaires; the other, the tragedy of hundreds of migrants being killed by capitalism.
All the mainstream media has been focussed this week on the deaths of a handful of billionaires exploring the shipwreck of the Titanic. Meanwhile, little attention has been paid to the tragic drowning of hundreds of migrants in the Mediterranean.
There has been much optimism surrounding the election of left-wing governments in Colombia, Chile, Brazil, and other Latin American countries. But already, these are hitting up against barriers. Only revolutionary struggle can offer a way forward.
The combined impact of the war, the pandemic, and inflation, on top of decades of imperialist exploitation, has left the world’s poorest nations buried in debt. This is preparing the ground for revolutionary explosions in one country after another.
We conclude our recent series on Israel-Palestine by examining recent events in the region, the situation today, and the way forward for workers and youth. Only revolutionary struggle can offer a real solution. Intifada until victory!
Liberal supporters of Ukraine have recently attacked the IMT for openly defending our position on the war. While some ‘lefts’ happily side with their own ruling class, we proudly stand in the Marxist tradition of class-based internationalism.
After months of build up, the much-heralded Ukrainian offensive has begun. Alan Woods discusses the prospects for this latest military campaign, the propaganda of western imperialism, the perspectives for the war, and the task of the Marxists.
Tensions between the major powers are heightening. The rise of China and the relative decline of US imperialism are creating a new – unstable – balance of forces in world relations. Communists must fight for international socialist revolution.
Following their victory in last year’s Stormont elections, Sinn Féin have come out top in the recent local elections in the North, marking another deadly blow for unionism. Workers and youth must fight for a Socialist United Ireland.
The US economy is hurtling towards a disastrous default, as Democrats and Republicans haggle over spending and cuts. This dangerous game of chicken highlights the madness of capitalism. We say: make the billionaires pay for this crisis!
Today marks the anniversary of the Irish Rebellion – a mass revolt against landlordism and colonialism, which began on the dawn of 24 May 1798. Revolutionaries in Ireland, Britain, and beyond should study the lessons of these inspiring events.
In the latest part of our series on Israel-Palestine, we discuss the demand for boycotts, divestment, and sanctions aimed at Israeli businesses. Instead, workers and youth must organise, mobilise, and fight for revolution.
