Trump's failure makes him more dangerous than ever

Daniel Tanuro — 2026-04-12T07:17:24Z

Has Trump's downfall begun? Or are we, on the contrary, on the eve of his leap into total dictatorship? It is too early to predict the outcome. But one thing seems certain: by unleashing his war against Iran with Netanyahu, by underestimating the adversary, by spitting on his imperialist and other allies with contempt (the crown prince of Saudi Arabia “didn't think he'd be kissing my ass”), the would-be dictator has put himself in an extremely difficult situation, from which it is difficult to see how he can emerge without suffering a more or less humiliating defeat... Unless he “unleashes hell”, as he says... against the Iranian people he claimed to be liberating... and against popular mobilizations in the United States.

The reality of the front belies the Kremlin's little music

Daniel Tanuro — 2026-01-05T19:33:52Z

“The Ukrainian resistance is truly admirable, despite the Western brakes. It is more than just resistance. In Kupiansk, the counter-offensive drove the Russians out of the town that Putin himself claimed to have definitively won.”

Memories of Gilbert Leclercq

Daniel Tanuro, Gilbert Leclercq — 2025-12-11T11:56:20Z

“Gilbert's commitment was the antithesis of sectarianism. For several years, he had systematically drawn attention to the urgent need for unity in anti-capitalist action in the face of the danger of the far right exploiting social frustrations within the working class itself in order to recruit disaffected elements to the service of reaction. Denouncing electoral illusions, he tirelessly advocated a united front, "the only way to ensure the mobilization of all those called upon to fight if they wish to live with dignity, freedom, and protection from abject poverty." ”

The genie of class struggle comes out of its lamp in Nepal

Daniel Tanuro — 2025-09-19T07:42:12Z

Nepal has been shaken by three days of a lightning revolt. In less than 48 hours in early September, political power was swept away like a flash in the pan by popular anger. Many official buildings and private residences of ministers were set on fire. As we write this, the military has filled the power vacuum. A very strict curfew has been decreed.

The Heavy Legacy of Leon Trotsky

Daniel Tanuro — 2025-08-20T12:10:55Z

For more than twenty years, revolutionary Marxists have been questioning themselves: was their missed appointment with ecology, in the 60s to 90s of the last century, attributable to Marx and Engels? If so, to what extent? Hundreds of pages have been written on the subject. Although the thesis of a "Marx ecology," defended by J.B. Foster, is somewhat exaggerated, no one dares to seriously maintain anymore that the authors of the Communist Manifesto were productivists who fetishized technology and had no idea of natural limits...

Understanding the Implications of US Vice President JD Vance's Confrontational Speech at the Munich Security Conference

Daniel Tanuro — 2025-02-18T09:01:01Z

In a highly confrontational speech delivered at the Munich Security Conference opening on 14 February, US Vice President JD Vance declared that the “internal threat” facing Europe was more serious than that posed by Russia and China. 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.

USA: Trump's victory: a major warning

Daniel Tanuro — 2024-11-19T19:20:00Z

The clear-cut election of Donald Trump as President of the United States of America is a major development in the process of right-wing and extreme right-wing extremism underway in global capitalism. At a time when neoliberalism has deepened abysmal social inequalities that hit women and racialised people the hardest; at a time when the ruling classes are wallowing more and more in an opulence whose legal and illegal sources are so mixed that they can no longer be distinguished; at a time when the climate catastrophe and the collapse of biodiversity caused by the race to make a profit from fossil capital are hitting millions of poor people hard and threatening to take them with them; at a time when the race for hegemony is increasingly taking on the hideous face of neo-colonial supremacism and the savage appropriation of wealth at the cost of monstrous massacres.
