Who blew up Nord Stream?

The mysterious sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines has all the elements of a Hollywood crime drama: conspiracy, cover-up – and betrayal. A new series of revelations from the German police, published in the American press, purport to blow the case wide open. But when it comes to the Ukraine War, where lies have played an enormous role, we can accept nothing at face value.

The Soviet economy: how it worked… and how it didn’t

Marx explained that every social system is subject to its own laws: objective dynamics, forces, and pressures that govern its motion and development. In this article, Adam Booth examines the early decades of the Soviet Union, in order to provide a concrete understanding of the economic laws which imposed themselves on the young workers’ state, and to arm a new generation with the lessons required to carry out the successful struggle for communism.

Lottiamo contro l’imperialismo e la guerra! Lavoratori di tutti i paesi, unitevi! – Dichiarazione della ICR

Il capitalismo è un sistema malato che ha esaurito la sua utilità molto tempo fa. Nell’epoca del suo declino senile genera guerra, razzismo, povertà e fame. L’imperialismo, la fase suprema del capitalismo, è caratterizzato dalla lotta tra diverse bande di rapinatori capitalisti, volta alla spartizione del bottino. Oggi, mentre tale bottino diviene più magro sotto l’impatto della crisi del capitalismo, la loro lotta si intensifica e assistiamo a una nuova corsa verso il militarismo e la guerra.


הצהרת המהפכנים הקומוניסטים הבינלאומיים: להילחם באימפריאליזם ובמלחמה! עובדי העולם התאחדו! 

הקפיטליזם זוהי מערכת חולה שמזמן עברה את התועלת שלה. בעידן הדעיכה הסנילית שלה, היא מייצרת מלחמה, גזענות, עוני ורעב. האימפריאליזם, השלב הגבוה ביותר של הקפיטליזם, מאופיין במאבק בין כנופיות שונות של שודדים קפיטליסטים על חלוקת השלל. היום, כשהשלל מצטמצם תחת השפעת המשבר של הקפיטליזם, מאבקם מתגבר, ואנו עדים להתגברות חדשה של מיליטריזם ומלחמה.

Bangladesh: los trabajadores comienzan a moverse

El derrocamiento revolucionario del régimen de Hasina, provocado por los estudiantes y sus valientes protestas, ha abierto las puertas a una nueva oleada de lucha de clases en Bangladesh. ¡La revolución avanza!


Bangladeş için sırada ne var?

Bir hafta önce devrimci dalgaların Şeyh Hasina'yı süpürüp götürmesinden bu yana, öğrencilerin başını çektiği kitleler harekete geçmeye devam ediyor. Komiteler ülke genelinde - özellikle ama sadece öğrenciler arasında değil - genişliyor. Pek çok yerde devletin işlevlerini yerinden ettiler. Egemen  sınıf havada asılı kalmış durumda. Bir tür ikili iktidar var. Ancak devrim şimdi yeni tehlikelerle karşı karşıya - sadece devrik Awami Ligi'nin devam eden komploları değil, aynı zamanda gidişatın yönü konusunda kafa karışıklığı.
