    Cuba will not fall: The fight against Washington’s energy blockade

    Wednesday, 25 February 2026 — Struggle  La Lucha

    Gary Wilson
    Honoring32
    Hundreds of thousands march in Havana to honor 32 Cuban combatants killed in the Jan. 3 U.S. assault on Caracas, as Washington escalates an energy blockade aimed at cutting Cuba’s fuel supply.

    The lights are going out in Cuba — and people are organizing their lives around the outage schedule.

    In towns and cities outside Havana, families cook when power returns, charge phones in bursts, and sleep in the heat when fans go dead. Clinics and hospitals ration generator fuel and prioritize the most urgent care. Ambulance crews and ER staff work under conditions where a delayed response means a patient may not make it. Airports face the same reality: When fuel is absent, flights are canceled, routes break, and the island’s connection to needed supplies narrows.

    1 comment on The BBC, Zelensky and the Price of Primacy: When Hegemony Calls Itself Defense

    The BBC, Zelensky and the Price of Primacy: When Hegemony Calls Itself Defense

    Tuesday, 24 February 2026 — Weaponized Information

    This essay excavates the BBC’s framing of the Ukraine war to reveal how catastrophe rhetoric and moral personalization manufacture consent. It reconstructs the documented record—NATO expansion, U.S. strategic doctrine, Minsk diplomacy, sanctions, and militarization—to widen the frame beyond headline urgency. It then situates the conflict within the deeper contradiction between imperial hegemony and national sovereignty, centering the costs borne by workers and the Global South. Finally, it calls for organized internationalist action rooted in existing anti-war, labor, and sovereignty movements.

    Lithuania’s False Flag Counter-Revolution

    Tuesday, 24 February 2026 — Global Delinquents

    Kit Klarenberg

    From January 11th – 13th, Lithuania marked the 35th anniversary of the “January Events”. Three tumultuous days in 1991 culminated in a widely-publicised mass shooting of protesters at Vilnius’ TV Tower, with 14 killed and over 140 injured. Soviet forces were purportedly responsible. The bloodshed elicited an avalanche of international sympathy for Lithuania, leading to multiple states recognising the republic as an independent country. It was a pivotal event in the USSR’s breakup, and remains widely celebrated throughout the Baltics and beyond today.

    Marco Rubio in Munich: Civilisational and Colonial Politics Back on the Agenda, Strategic Courtesies, and Geopolitical Implications

    Tuesday, 24 February 2026 — New Eastern Outlook

    Ricardo Martins

    At the Munich Security Conference, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio delivered a seemingly conciliatory speech that masked a profound ideological project: the normalisation of MAGA-inspired civilisational politics in transatlantic relations.

    White Guilt or White Pride? The False Choice That Preserves Empire

    Saturday, 21 Febbruary 2026 — Weaponized Information

    “White guilt” shrinks a global system of power into a private mood. Liberal confession mourns history while preserving the machinery of dominance. Reactionary pride weaponizes heritage to harden bloc discipline under multipolar pressure. Beyond shame and nostalgia lies defection from empire and alignment with global liberation.

    Book Review: You Don’t Miss What Doesn’t Exist

    1 February 2026 — Don Fitz

    Cox, Stan. Anthropause: The Beauty of Degrowth (2026 Seven Stories Press), Review by Don Fitz

    “Anthropause” is an amazing word and the latest book about it is an eye-opener. Stan Cox’s Anthropause: The Beauty of Degrowth (2026, Seven Stories Press), does what far too few degrowth books do – it first focuses readers’ attention to the positive experiences we could enjoy in a society less dedicated to producing unnecessary stuff. It then details the destructiveness of overproduction.

    Will this scandal bring down Keir Starmer?

    Thursday, 19 February 2026 — Declassified UK

    Such is the omnicrisis of the Labour government that it’s hard to tell what the final nail in Keir Starmer’s coffin will be. But the Labour Together scandal has got to be up there.

    It was revealed two weeks ago that Labour Together, a thinktank once run by Starmer’s right-hand man Morgan McSweeney, secretly paid a PR firm to investigate journalists.

    Turning its Back on Cuba: Government of Guyana Sells its Soul

    Thursday, 19 February 2026 — Internationalist 360°

    Gerald A. Perreira

    The government of Guyana capitulating to US pressure to expel the Cuban medical brigade is shameful beyond words

    Donald Trump and the Prince of Darkness, Marco Rubio, are now inflicting the unthinkable on Cuba – an embargo that deprives the Cuban people of vital petroleum and gas products that fuel a modern society’s ability to function. This is an immoral, illegal and ruthless attempt to deal a final death blow to Cuba, following 67 years of relentless US economic sanctions, blockades, sabotage and attempted regime change operations. The intention is to force this island nation to its knees. The question is, will the world allow Cuba, which has become a symbol of human dignity and resistance, refusing against all odds to surrender their inalienable right to self-determination and true independence, to fall. This current embargo threatens the very ability of Cuban society to function and provide vital services to their citizens and in so doing is life threatening. As such, it constitutes a form of genocide.

    Labour Spied On Journalists, Including Me

    Thursday, 19 February 2026 — Global Delinquents

    Kit Klarenberg

    An extraordinary political scandal has erupted in Britain, raising the prospect Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s already embattled government could tumble. On February 5th, it was revealed Labour Together, a dubious ‘think tank’ intimately intertwined with the Labour party, paid shady PR firm APCO Worldwide tens of thousands of pounds to spy on journalists. Primary targets were reporters exposing damning information on Labour Together’s finances, and central role in Starmer’s corrupt rise to power. Others were considered “significant persons of interest”, for reasons unclear – including me.

    MunichConference
    German Chancellor Friedrich Merz confers with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul at the 62nd Munich Security Conference on Feb. 13, 2026. The gathering served as a coordination meeting for the leading imperialist powers amid escalating military spending and global rivalry.

    The 62nd Munich Security Conference was not a diplomatic gathering.

    It was a war council — a gathering of the general staff of world imperialism, assembled not to resolve conflicts but to coordinate the next phase of aggression on a global scale.
