Bad Bunny and the Super Bowl Halftime Show That Rebuked Trump’s Death Cult With A Celebration Of Life

Dave Zirin11 February 2026

The past year in Stephen Miller’s America has been unbearably bleak. When masked thugs with “blanket immunity” kidnap five year olds and murder nurses, it tends to darken the national mood. But international mega-star Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio (a.k.a Bad Bunny) took the stage during the Super Bowl halftime show and gave the best possible […]

VENEZUELA: Redemocratise society and politics to overcome the colonial situation

Luísa Bonilla-Molina11 February 2026

Maduro’s regime not only buried the progressive elements of Chavismo but also destroyed democracy. The events of January 3rd, with the US aggression, represented a profound blow to the Republic and ushered in a colonial situation that clearly demonstrates the historic defeat of the Bolivarian project and the 21st-century socialism embodied by Hugo Chávez Frías. […]

Noam Chomsky, Jeffrey Epstein and the Politics of Betrayal

Chris Hedges11 February 2026

I don’t expect much from politicians, corporate tycoons, the presidents of prestigious universities, billionaire philanthropists, celebrities, royalty or oligarchs. They live in narcissistic and hedonistic bubbles that cater to their self-worship and moral depravity. But I do expect a lot from intellectuals such as Noam Chomsky. The explanation by his wife Valéria – Noam suffered […]

Alex Callinicos: Is the United States turning to fascism? With aggression abroad and repression at home, Donald Trump’s drive to centralise power in his hands is undeniable

Alex Callinicos28 January 2026

It’s hardly surprising that social media is full of claims that fascism now reigns in the United States. Since 2026 began, two features of fascist regimes have been very visible. On one the hand, aggression abroad—the violent kidnapping of Nicolas Maduro and Cilia Flores in Venezuela, the threats of military action against Iran and Greenland. […]

The New World Order

Roger Silverman28 January 2026

The world today is in a more disturbed state than at any time in the last eight decades. The global structure that came into being after the Second World War had divided the world into three sharply defined sectors: the industrially developed capitalist countries (“the West” plus Japan); the Stalinist states (the USSR and its […]

Iran: Regime Change or Leader Change

Saeed Rahnema28 January 2026

Iran is once again in turmoil. Street uprisings have shaken the very foundations of the clerical regime, and its apparatus of repression is brutally killing unarmed demonstrators. The current movement shares both similarities and differences with the previous mass movement of 2022, Woman / Life / Freedom. That earlier movement was primarily social and cultural in […]

Selective Bombs and Selective Grief: Empire, Muslim Suffering and the Imperial Logic of War in Nigeria

Lawan Musa Danlami (Baba Lawan)23 January 2026

If the United States were truly motivated by the protection of Nigerian Christians, its actions would follow the geography of human suffering. But they do not. Instead, what we see is a familiar imperial pattern: war waged selectively, morality applied unevenly, and suffering acknowledged only when it aligns with strategic interest. Numerically, most victims of […]

No to US – Israeli Intervention in Iran – yes to the people’s struggle for democracy, justice and Equality!

ZASO15 January 2026

Statement of Zabalaza for Socialism (ZASO) on the situation in Iran Please note the following statement has been drafted prior to the likely US military intervention in Iran. We must be absolutely clear that US military intervention has nothing to do with support for the oppressed masses in Iran. The US has been and is […]

Op-Ed: Kidnapping or Capture?

Ali Ridha Khan9 January 2026

Sovereignty in the Age of the Raid There is a reason the argument has stalled on a single word. Not missiles. Not explosions. Not the extraordinary claim that a sitting head of state has been seized and flown out of his country by a foreign power. The word is ‘capture’ – and its rival is […]
