  • Capitalism’s General Crisis is Back with a Vengeance

    Why are we experiencing a period  of such crisis in international relations in Britain, Europe, the Americas and across the world? So many responses to this question fail to locate it in what the international communist movement has long called the “general crisis of capitalism.” At its base, capitalism cannot resolve the cyclical and structural […]

  • Latin America Pushes Back Against U.S. Intervention

    Photo: Nuestra America gathering in Bogotá, Colombia. Credit: Progressive International When Senator Tim Kaine told Secretary of State Marco Rubio at a recent Senate hearing on Venezuela that the administration’s announcement of a new Monroe Doctrine “does not land well in the Americas,” he was putting it mildly. I just returned from an emergency gathering in Bogotá […]

  • The US Is Pushing So Many Regime Change Agendas It’s Hard To Keep Up

    It’s just incredible how quickly and aggressively the US is advancing longstanding agendas of global conquest under the Trump administration. Now they’re racing to take out Cuba. The US president has signed an executive order to impose new tariffs on countries that supply oil to Cuba, even indirectly, which is expected to dramatically increase the pressure […]

  • The Neocolonial Ambitions of NATO Countries

    The Neocolonial Ambitions of NATO Countries

    The term neocolonialism first appeared in the mid-twentieth century and was used to describe the continuing control of colonial powers (Great Britain, France, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Belgium, Italy) over other nominally independent states, especially their colonies in Africa. In the 21st century, the meaning of the term neocolonialism has expanded and is now used to […]

  • ‘The Weak Must Suffer’

    The empty UN Security Council Chamber in New York City (Wikipedia) These are exceptional times. The United States has been threatening to take over Greenland, an aggressive move against Europe. Now, and only now, are political leaders and compliant news media publicly acknowledging that the ‘international rules-based order’ is no more. Of course, it was […]

  • The US-Israel Hybrid War Against Iran

    The question is not if the US and Israel will attack Iran, but when. In the nuclear age, the US refrains from all-out war, since it can easily lead to nuclear escalation. Instead, the US and Israel are waging war against Iran through a combination of crushing economic sanctions, targeted military strikes, cyberwarfare, stoking unrest, and […]

    Our Right to be Human and the Need to be Humane

    Yeah, this latest column/commentary of mine came out Dec. 31, in the Lincoln County Leader. You have to understand my method, though: while I am a full-fledged communist, I have to navigate my local community. I have already been banned from teaching in the k12 system, at the local community college. I am an unemployable […]

    https://worldbeyondwar.org/a-picture-that-shows-whats-wrong-with-military-bases/ Of course it would take millions of images to convey the full story of the harm done by military bases, foreign and domestic, but a key point is, I think, conveyed by the map above. The countries colored blue or purple have U.S. military bases in them. The countries colored red or purple have […]

  • Considerations on the Morality of Donald Trump

    In an interview with the New York Times, when asked if there were any checks on his powers on the world stage, Trump replied: “Yeah, there is one thing. My own morality. My own mind. It’s the only thing that can stop me.” A voice jumps in to ask: “Not international law?” “I don’t need […]

  • Is It about the Oil?

    “No War for Oil” is one of the most popular slogans in the many emergency demonstrations sprouting up around the world in response to the criminal kidnapping of Nicolas Maduro and Cilia Flores from their residence in Caracas, Venezuela and their forced removal to detention in the US. For many outraged by the naked military […]
