Iran and the Psychopathology of White Supremacy
The sincere belief that the sadistic brutalization of the Palestinian people would sever their connection to their land; that a sixty-year siege on Cuba would compel its people to abandon their revolution; or that assassinating Iran’s revolutionary and spiritual leadership would force the country to surrender its sovereignty to its historic tormentors in the United… Continue reading

The global communist resurgence, capital’s great crackdown, & the era of civil wars that we’ll need to navigate
We are in the transitional stage between when the USA started off its own demise, and when the global working class has won its final victory.

Trump New Imperial Fury or the New U.S. Lebensraum?

Zionism and U.S. hegemony are doomed to keep declining; this means that the decisive question of the 21st century is how the anti-imperialist bloc will choose to usher in the post-American era.

Imperialism’s Striving for Expansion
THE “inevitable striving of finance capital”, Lenin had written in Imperialism, (is) “to enlarge its spheres of influence and even its actual territory”.
