Einar Tangen is a Senior Fellow at Teihe Institute and a Senior Fellow at CIGI. Over the past decade, the US has increasingly been pushing adversaries such as Russia and Iran into China’s arms. While Trump promised to reverse this mistake, he is now doubling down by also pushing friendly states such as India into the Eurasian group. Each threat against BRICS countries increases the incentive to reduce dependence on the US economy.

We tend to think of all the great social movements in history as driven by progressive values – anti-racist and for civil rights, for instance. But what do we do when a vociferous, regressive, racist social movement emerges, one that threatens to destroy every gain that we have fought for over decades? On 2 August, an estimated 1,500 people attended a Britain First ‘march for remigration’ in Manchester. In addition, over the last fortnight, as recorded in our regular Calendar of Racism & Resistance, anti-refugee protests have taken place in Essex, Surrey, Staffordshire, Nottinghamshire, Portsmouth, Leeds, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Newcastle. A racist social movement calling for the deportation of every single asylum seeker in the country is emerging as one of the dominant collective political action movements of our times.

Dear friends,
Greetings from the desk of Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research.
In July, a few days after the centenary of Frantz Fanon’s birth, I had lunch with his daughter, Mireille Fanon Mendès-France. When I commented that Fanon had died so young, at thirty-nine, Mireille corrected me: ‘No, thirty-six’. Even three more years would have been a gift – to him because he might have been able to finish other work and spend more time with his family, and to us because we might have gotten the book that would have come after The Wretched of the Earth – perhaps one on how to construct a national project that would not succumb to the pitfalls of narrow nationalism. But that was not to be.

What follows is a revised and updated version of an essay from my 2020 book, Seeking Truth in a Country of Lies.
“The greatest evil is not now done in those sordid ‘dens of crime’ that Dickens loved to paint…But it is conceived and ordered (moved, seconded, carried, and minuted) in clean, carpeted, warmed, and well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voice.”
– C. S. Lewis, author’s preface, 1962, The Screwtape Letters

Nabil Anani (Palestine), In Pursuit of Utopia #1, 2020.As scholars dedicated to questions of justice and ethics we believe that Yvette Cooper’s recent proscription of Palestine Action represents an attack both on the entire pro-Palestine movement and on fundamental freedoms of expression, association, assembly, and protest. We deplore the repressive consequences that this ban has already had, and are especially concerned about the likely impact of Cooper’s ban on universities across the UK and beyond.

Clare Daly and Mick Wallace are former members of the European Parliament (MEPs), and critics of the “geopolitical” direction of the EU. The EU is losing its prosperity, security, political stability, freedoms and international relevance. Has the EU failed to adjust to a multipolar world?

President Ronald Reagan (R) and CPSU General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev (L) signed the INF Treaty, White House, Washington, August 12, 1987 The American Nobel laureate Pearl S. Buck handed down to the aspirant-Nobel American president Donald Trump a golden maxim but he seems oblivious of it — although his life is made of a surfeit of fiction. She wrote in her gripping historical novel The Living Reed: A Novel of Korea, “It is easy to destroy but hard to create. Remember that, when you want to destroy something.”
