The rise of the Socialist Movement (Mugimendu Sozialista) in the Basque Country

The comrades of the International Marxist Tendency are looking at with enormous interest and sympathy at the Socialist Movement in the Basque Country, which promotes the emergence of a mass communist movement, and defends the international character of socialism. We publish here a brief article on the characteristics of this extraordinary occurrence, and its current development.


Франция: ни один, ни другой!

Результат первого тура президентских выборов соответствует тому, чего хотел и к чему долго готовился Макрон. В 2017 году Макрон получил 66% голосов против Ле Пен во втором туре. Миллионы избирателей, проголосовавших за Меланшона или Амона в первом туре, мобилизовались во втором туре, чтобы «блокировать крайне правых». В течение пяти лет глава государства стремится к повторению этого сценария.


NATO løgner påvist: En tidligere NATO-analytiker snakker ut

Merknad fra redaksjonen: I dag gjengir vi noen ganske viktige artikler som skjærer gjennom den løgnaktige vestlige propagandaen rundt krigen i Ukraina fra dag én og frem til i dag. Forfatteren av disse bemerkelsesverdige dokumentene er ikke marxist. Langt ifra. Hans navn er Jacques Baud, en tidligere oberst i den sveitsiske hæren og tidligere medlem av den sveitsiske strategiske etterretningstjenesten. Han jobbet også for NATO, under og etter Ukraina-krisen i 2014, hvoretter han deltok i programmer relatert til Ukraina.


Sri Lanka: Basta! Unidade para derrubar este regime arrogante e traiçoeiro

A profunda crise econômica no Sri Lanka, que entrou em uma fase aguda nos primeiros meses deste ano, resultou na erupção de protestos espontâneos de massas. As massas não aguentam mais. Mais protestos estão planejados por todo o país, nos quais os camaradas da corrente marxista, Forward, distribuirão panfletos em cingalês e tâmil. Publicamos abaixo uma declaração em inglês, na qual esse panfleto se baseia.


« Front républicain » ou lutte des classes ?

Depuis le premier tour de l’élection présidentielle, les dirigeants de la plupart des syndicats et partis de gauche appellent à « faire barrage au Rassemblement National », le 24 avril prochain. Certains appellent explicitement à voter pour Macron. D’autres appellent à ne pas voter pour Le Pen. D’autres, enfin, appellent à « battre Le Pen ».


La guerra de Ucrania aviva el hambre en el mundo y prepara disturbios masivos

El impacto de la guerra en Ucrania se sentirá mucho más allá de las costas europeas. Dado que Rusia y Ucrania son responsables del 12% de todas las energías que se comercializan, y que el gas natural es un componente importante de los fertilizantes, la guerra está exacerbando la inflación del precio de los alimentos.
