    Trump transforms global alliances and will establish a new era of colonialism

    20 February, by Dan La Botz

    President Donald Trump is fundamentally altering U.S. foreign policy and transforming global alliances that have been in place for eighty years. Trump has chosen Vladimir Putin over NATO. Trump and Putin apparently plan to impose a treaty that will force Ukraine to give up 20 percent of its territory and prohibit its membership in NATO. Trump points out that president Volodymyr Zelensky’s low poll numbers, suggesting that he has no right to speak for Ukraine. The United States and Russia have long been imperial powers, and now they are cooperating and isolating from peace negotiations the European powers who fear that if Russia gains territory in Ukraine, Putin’s next move will be to take Transnistria, Moldova, Estonia or Poland.

    Argentina: ‘Anti-fascist and anti-racist pride’ against Milei

    19 February, by Fabrice Thomas

    On Saturday 1 February, huge demonstrations took place across Argentina in response to President Javier Milei’s speech at the Davos forum the previous week. In a half-hour speech to the cream of the capitalist world, Milei, in a significant mimicry of Trump, unrolled the catalogue of his hatreds: feminists, ‘wokism’, gay couples (whom he accused of paedophilia), progressivism, the left and ‘leftists’ (who must be ‘driven out’). Hundreds of thousands of people across the country rose up not only against Milei and his ideology, but to assert their determination to fight for all democratic and social rights and to stop the wave of fascism sweeping the world.

    18 February, by Daniel Tanuro

He criticised the annulment of a recent election in Romania, the prosecution of an anti-abortion protester in the United Kingdom, and the exclusion of far-right and far-left German politicians from the event itself.

    17 February, by Tamara Knežević

  • Belgium: Massive demonstration against the federal government

    16 February, by LCR-SAP

    On Thursday 13 February, 2025, 100,000 people marched through the streets of Brussels in response to a call from the trade union common front: a multitude of sectors (trade unions, feminists, anti-fascists, among many others) mobilised against the all-out attacks by the new federal government, the “Arizona coalition” which has been in power in Belgium since the beginning of February. This remarkable turnout represents a real acceleration in social tension. The Gauche anticapitaliste (Belgian section of the Fourth International ) was present and marched with Commune Colère, a unitary pole bringing together workers from many backgrounds (trade union left, feminist, anti-racist and anti-fascist collectives, environmental activists and so on), whose bloc brought together several hundred people around combative slogans.
