    No Kings! Freedom! Millions Protest Trump across the United States

    16 June, by Dan La Botz

    At least five million people participated in 2,000 “No Kings Day” protests in big cities and small towns in all 50 states, the largest yet in a series of national demonstrations. In a festive but defiant spirit, with bands and drummers, the marchers chanted, sang songs, and waved their signs with slogans like “No Kings since 1776” or signs opposing President Donald Trump’s attacks on health care, food programs for children and the elderly, or his attacks on education and science. Some banners read “Fight Oligarchy.”

    Victory for right, neo-fascists in second place in Portuguese elections

    15 June, by Daniel Borges

    The results of the Portuguese parliamentary elections on 18 May 2025 mark a turning point in the country’s politics. The traditional right was comfortably in the lead and the Socialist Party has fewer deputies than the far right (after counting the votes of the emigrant constituencies). The right-wing parties as a whole won two-thirds of the seats in the Assembly, while the left obtained the lowest result in its history.
    All the parties to the left of the PS recorded their lowest results. (…)

    Ukraine at war, Ukraine in struggle...

    13 June, by Gin Vola, Elias Vola

    Resistance to the Russian invasion has not erased class divisions within Ukrainian society. The inequalities of our capitalist societies and the brutal neoliberalism applied by the Zelensky government are significantly affecting the population of Ukraine. The popular classes thus fight on a "double front", against anti-social policies and imperialist aggression.

    Student protest in Serbia: “either we stop or there will be a civil war”

    12 June, by Gaëlle Guehennec

    Since November 2024, Serbian students have been leading an unprecedented revolt against Vučić’s corrupt government. Along with two Belgian comrades from the Gauche Anticapitaliste, I went to Belgrade to meet them.
    In front of Belgrade’s Faculty of Philosophy, a table and camping chairs were set up. A dozen or so students wrapped up in duvets were watching the entrance. On the table were sudokus and packets of cigarettes to pass the time. The students take 8am shifts to secure the faculty, (…)

  • The EU’s weak point: Energy

    The EU and Energy - and the three white elephants

    22 April 2021, by Mikael Hertoft

    One got the feeling that Frans Timmermans came flying in on a white elephant when he presented the EU solution for the future ’green’ economy on 8 July: Hydrogen – the fuel that can be produced cleanly and must be used in the new hydrogen economy. Unfortunately, the road to the hydrogen economy is paved with CO2 emissions – and the EU solution has both economics, as well as natural laws, against it.

    Western Imperialism and the Role of Sub-imperialism in the Global South

    22 April 2021, by Ana Garcia, Miguel Borba , Patrick Bond

    “As seen above, multinational corporations from BRICS countries, as well as projects financed by BRICS institutions, are reinforcing accumulation patterns that are socially and environmentally predatory, destroying the forms of life and work of populations in their territories. In order to overcome this predicament, South-South relations must be built with profound respect for counter-hegemonic social forces in these countries, as well as at the global scale.”
