How Can Workers Fight Back? Just under a year ago, John Healey, Labour’s Defence Secretary in Britain, visited a munitions factory. There, he made a speech extolling the virtues of a dawning new era of “military Keynesianism.” Slashing overseas aid budgets and “reinforcing the British industrial base” would lead to “more jobs in every part […]

On 19 April, Trump posted on Truth Social declaring “NO MORE MR. NICE GUY,” threatening to end the ceasefire and carry out wide-ranging attacks on Iranian infrastructure. Two days later — on the eve of the ceasefire deadline and in the type of walk-back now characteristic of Trump — he announced a one-sided ceasefire extension […]

Towards a fragile deal or an escalating war? With hours left of the “ceasefire” with Iran, Trump is zigzagging between announcing that he is “very close to a fair deal” and again threatening to “knock out every power plant and bridge” in Iran.

2026 has begun with US imperialism on the offensive. The reactionary juggernaut of Donald Trump dominated 2025, shaking world relations to the core. But the naked, shameless imperialist aggression against Venezuela with which he kicked off 2026 has taken things to a new level. Having grotesquely campaigned as a peacemaker, Trump bombed his seventh country […]

War and militarism are an inextricable part of imperialism. Even in periods of relative stability and less sharp inter-imperialist tensions—like during the height of neoliberal globalization in the 1990s and early 2000s when the number of wars decreased—the contradictions that produce war under capitalism did not go away.
