  Agent Orange, a slow violence that still kills

  18 October, by Collectif Vietnam-Dioxine

  The Vietnam-Dioxin Collective is part of a decolonial ecology since the cause is not only ecological but is also the result of colonial and imperialist logics and of a capitalist system that produces environmental crises (which are in fact continuous) and wars in times of crisis. We demand justice for the victims of Agent Orange, a chemical and defoliant weapon used during the US-led Imperial War in Vietnam.

  Get rid of leaders to stop war in South Sudan

  17 October, by Paul Martial

  Through their corruption and ethnicist politics, the country’s elites are plunging South Sudan into a new abyss of violence. Since its separation from Sudan in July 2011, the country has only experienced civil wars, of varying intensity. For the past eight months, Riek Machar, the vice-president, has been appearing in court on several charges such as crimes against humanity, rebellion and treason.

  A confident far-right and a stagnant parliamentary left in the Netherlands


  16 October, by Alex de Jong

  On October 29 the Netherlands will have parliamentary elections, again. In early June, the government of prime-minster Dick Schoof lost its majority as the far-right PVV of Geert Wilders blew up the coalition. Shortly before the elections, the contrast between the most important political events in the Netherlands could hardly be sharper. On 20 September, after an anti-immigration rally, fascists rioted in The Hague. On October 5, a quarter of a million people marched through the streets of Amsterdam to show their solidarity with Palestine.

  A Festival of Obsequiousness

  15 October, by Gilbert Achcar

  “As for the proud Palestinian people, they have spent a century proving their refusal to submit to their oppressors – whether the British Mandate authorities or the Zionist government. They will not kiss Donald Trump’s hand or show him “appreciation”, no matter what those who claim to represent them may do.”

  Mobilization shakes regime in Madagascar

  14 October, by Paul Martial

  “The new fact is the mobilization of workers. A few days after the first demonstrations, Jirama employees went on strike, joined by the teachers’ union, SEMPAMA. Finally, Herizo Ramanambola, leader of the Solidarité trade union, called for a general strike, also demanding the resignation of the president.”

  Andreas Kloke (1953-2025)

  18 October, by Fourth International Programmatic Tendency

  Our comrade Andreas Klocke, with whom we were active in what was then the only group in the Greek section of the Fourth International, died at the beginning of October, greatly weakened by a very long illness following a complex operation. In recent years, as far as his strength allowed, Andreas continued to be involved in observing and analysing what could advance a revolutionary crisis.

  China and the IMF, supported by BRICS+, provided a lifeline to Javier Milei’s far-right government in Argentina

  7 October, by Éric Toussaint

  In September 2025, after having presided over the country since December 2023, the neo-fascist Javier Milei suffered an electoral defeat in an important vote. The result was the election in the province of Buenos Aires. This election renewed 46 seats in the provincial Chamber of Deputies and 23 in the provincial Senate. The Peronist opposition beat Milei’s party by 13 points and holds a majority in the Buenos Aires Provincial Senate. The capital province represents about 37-38% of the national electorate. The provincial elections in Buenos Aires always serve as a major test at the national level, including for Javier Milei this year.
