Statement on “Operation Sindoor”

Radical Socialist

Posted May 9, 2025

THE INDIAN ARMED Forces have launched “Operation Sindoor,” which has carried out strikes in as many as nine places spread over three cities in Pakistan occupied Kashmir and Punjab province. A counter-strike by Pakistan, also to be condemned, has led to lives lost in Poonch.

All this is an extremely worrisome development, though not entirely….

From the Front Line: A Critical Look at Indo-Pak War 2025

ON THE MORNING of 7th May, when I answered my doorbell and went outside looking for who rang, my neighbor loudly asked me to turn off all my lights. This command signaled to me that we are living in a moment of war. Living near the Wahgha border, we heard a deafening noise around 8.30 am, followed by a blast. An Indian Harop drone, made by Israel, struck a close by military installation….

Statement on Civilian Killings in Pahalgam

Radical Socialist

Posted May 2, 2025

At least 26 civilians, mostly tourists, have been brutally and callously killed by militants in Pahalgam on April 22, 2025. Radical Socialist mourns the death of every single civilian, and condemns this terrorist act perpetrated by The Resistance Front that has claimed responsibility for it. It is a senseless attack which is morally unjustifiable and is completely counterproductive politically because it can further stoke and strengthen existing currents of Islamophobia in Indian society and in state…

For a May Day of anti-fascist and anti-imperialist resistance

Executive Bureau, Fourth International

Posted May 1, 2025

On 5 April in the United States, 1,300 demonstrations involving 500,000 people expressed broad anger against Trump and his far-right government. These mobilizations, significant but still in their early stages, show that it is possible to respond to the violent attacks carried out around the world against the interests of workers, migrants, victims of racial oppression, women, and the LGBTI community.

In Serbia, Greece, South Korea, Turkey, Britain, Germany, Argentina and India, significant sectors…

Mike McCallister

Posted April 29, 2025

As word spreads of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s arrest of Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan, rapid organization of three demonstrations over the weekend put Trump’s thugs on notice that this prosecution will not stand.

On the morning of April 25, FBI agents arrested Dugan in her office at the Milwaukee County Courthouse on federal charges of obstructing a US agency and concealing an individual to prevent an arrest.

Shortly thereafter, FBI Director Kash Patel posted on Twitter/X…

Debased Language, Degraded Politics: Searching for Conservatism, Finding It Nowhere

Harvey J. Graff

Posted April 28, 2025

“The problem of the 21st century is not only with conservatism. Over recent decades and especially in recent years, there is rampant confusion of all political spheres: left, center and right. But widespread loss of basic conservatism stands out. It underwrites the white-supremacist and Christian nationalist transformation of the Republican party since the 1960s and most actively since the 1980s.”

ON APRIL 9, 2025, my day began with these daily news headlines.

The Other Catastrophe: Genocide and Famine in Sudan

Gilbert Achcar

Posted April 25, 2025

Two years have passed since the war broke out in Sudan between the two sides of the military regime that the country inherited from the infamous Omar al-Bashir. While the situation in Sudan does not get even a tenth of the global media attention that the ongoing Zionist genocidal war in Gaza receives, the scale of the human catastrophe there is equally horrific. The death toll from the military-on-military war is estimated at more than 150,000, while the number of displaced people stands at approximately…

RESISTANCE ARISING

Posted April 25, 2025

Stop Trump’s Police-State Terror!

RESISTANCE IS RISING on multiple fronts against the Trump-MAGA regime’s open drive toward a police state. These are not isolated attacks – they’re a deadly threat to all of us.

The infamous kidnapping of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, transported to the CECOT penal torture center in El Salvador, shows that Trump‘s gang has no intention of obeying legal processes or court orders. The purpose is to create an atmosphere of fear everywhere in society.

The reign…

The Global Fascist Project: Crisis, Control, and the Struggle from Below

William I. Robinson

Posted April 25, 2025

The starting point for any analysis of the shocking conjuncture of events now rocking the world — trade wars, genocide, fascism — is the unprecedented crisis of global capitalism. There are four interwoven dimensions: 1) economic involving overaccumulation and chronic stagnation; 2) social reproduction and widespread social disintegration; 3) a crisis of state legitimacy and capitalist hegemony as the post-WWII international order cracks up; 4) an ecological crisis that threatens to exhaust…

A Setback for Auto Workers’ Solidarity

Dianne Feeley

Posted April 10, 2025

THE UAW STATEMENT “In a Victory for Autoworkers, Auto Tariffs Mark the Beginning of the End of NAFTA and the ‘Free Trade’ Disaster” posted on the UAW website, presents a faulty understanding of the impact NAFTA had on the restructuring of the auto industry. It then outlines a disastrous strategy for auto workers, similar to a previous UAW administration’s call on members to save their jobs by voting for two-tier contracts.

In the 1990s corporate restructuring meant automation,…
