[Indigenous groups in Ecuador are currently staging large-scale protests against harsh austerity measures that are being implemented by the ruling Moreno government as part of a $4.2 billion IMF loan deal. These austerity measures include massive hikes in fuel prices, causing the cost of food and transportation to rise sharply. Protesters have faced harsh repression... Continue Reading →
[This article highlights the fact that imperialist military-intelligence agencies have infiltrated ostensibly leftist academic circles, media outlets, and political publications. The imperialists employ phony “leftists” to mislead the public, especially in the imperialist countries, into supporting imperialist endeavors such as “regime-change” operations aimed at overthrowing independent governments that resist the Western empire.

[Lenin reminds us in this 1913 article of the sinister, bourgeois, and reactionary nature of neo-Malthusianism which is a defeatist and anti-worker outlook that is antithetical to historical progress.

[More evidence that international law is a farce.

[Recently, the people of Nicaragua took to the streets to celebrate the 40-year anniversary of the Sandinista Revolution which overthrew the right-wing dictatorship of Anastasio Somoza in 1979, and also to celebrate the defeat of a US-backed coup against the Sandinista government last year in 2018. Despite recent US sanctions enacted against Nicaragua with US... Continue Reading →
[This should be obvious to anyone that has even a rudimentary knowledge of the history of the CIA. As pointed out by our own Leading Light Comrade Janelle in her article Afghanistan, the Forgotten Proxy War, the CIA has been doing this exact thing since the Carter administration. This particular RT article doesn't even touch... Continue Reading →
[US imperialism knows no shame when it comes to murdering innocent civilians around the globe. According to a recent UN report, in 2019 the United States has thus far killed more civilians than ISIS and the Taliban have in Afghanistan, demonstrating the utter hypocrisy of the US in its claims to be fighting a “war...
