8th March and Revolutionary Socialism

Radical Socialist — 2026-03-07T15:44:36Z

“Without organising women workers in hosieries, in jute mills, among hawkers, fighting for their rights, 8th March loses its significance. Today, when neoliberalism and Hindutva-fascism is sharpening assaults, women's rights must also be placed within the context of fighting that.”

Resist Yankee Imperialist Invasion of Venezuela and Support Venezuelan Working People

Radical Socialist — 2026-01-04T11:13:38Z

The US war against Venezuela has moved from the covert to the open stage. US armed forces have bombed Caracas, and according to the US President Trump, they have kidnapped the Venezuelan President Maduro and his wife. This unprovoked assault comes after a prolonged period of imperialist aggression with economic sanctions and murderous strikes against boats in the Caribbean Sea, killing more than 100 people in the past few months.

The BRICS and de-dollarisation

Éric Toussaint — 2025-10-07T16:14:10Z

Many perceive the BRICS countries as a counterweight to the dollar-dominated monetary order. However, the facts speak for themselves: at the BRICS summit in Rio de Janeiro (6–7 July 2025), no real desire to break away from the US currency was expressed. De-dollarisation remains a distant prospect.

Kashmir, India, Pakistan: on the history and internationalist stakes of a state of war

Pierre Rousset — 2025-05-17T17:01:13Z

This article attempts to take stock of the recent ‘hot' crisis between India and Pakistan over Kashmir. Many factors need to be taken into account. Recent events are undoubtedly part of a long history of military tensions and wars dating back to the disastrous partition imposed on the sub-continent by British imperialism in 1947. In recent years, however, profound changes have affected the countries concerned, as well as the geopolitical environment, regional management of water resources and the weapons used. So we cannot assume that history will simply repeat itself almost identically. This is perhaps the main question before us: what's new? The answer, of course, lies primarily with the left-wing organisations in the region. I shall confine myself to submitting some elements of analysis or hypotheses for discussion and criticism, even if I have to revise later my copy.

Farooq Tariq — 2025-05-11T15:20:05Z

On the morning of 7 May, when I answered my doorbell and went outside looking for who rang, my neighbor loudly asked me to turn off all my lights. This command signaled to me that we are living in a moment of war.
