  • Trump’s Nationalist Conservative White Christian Agenda

    Originally published: Guancha on February 27, 2025 (more by Guancha)

    The Trump-orchestrated blitzkrieg exposition of a Nationalist Conservative White Christian Agenda raises a series of questions, including: What are the internal contradictions within the US ruling class that have given rise to recent developments? What are the underlying changes within the base and superstructure of the United States? What are the long-term ideological and political consequences on US foreign policy? How should the Global South respond?

  • 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing

    An interpretation of the CPC’s 20th congress report: the western media’s omertà on the China model of modernization and its disingenuous response to the CPC’s self-revolution

    Originally published: Guancha on November 2, 2022 by Deborah Veneziale (more by Guancha)

    The Western media, due to their own bias, have either ignored or maliciously misinterpreted General Secretary Xi Jinping’s recently published report on the just concluded 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC). All peace-loving and progressive people who are concerned about the world should cross these barriers of bias and carefully interpret this important report.

    Why the U.S. failed to control COVID-19: incompetence, class violence, deception, and lies

    Originally published: Guancha on June 29, 2022 (more by Guancha)

    The United States (together with its Western allies) always tries to tell China what to do in managing COVID-19 outbreaks, and since the whole city of Shanghai was under lockdown, the U.S. media seems to have even more reasons to criticize China’s anti-virus policy.

    Who is leading the United States to war?

    Deborah Veneziale

    The world is sensing the United States’s growing rapacious intent for war. Amid the development of the Ukraine crisis, the United States and NATO have been attempting to escalate their proxy war with Russia while continuing to intensify their siege and provocations against China.

  • Russian Tanks

    The U.S. is preparing war with China and Russia at the same time

    Deborah Veneziale

    In the strategic vision of the U.S., Russia should be disarmed to become part of Europe as a “sidekick” and a bridgehead to contain China, the “more dangerous enemy” as Kissinger described it.

Monthly Review Essays

  • Nikolai Gogol’s Department of Government Efficiency
    Andy Merrifield A 1926 Soviet illustration of a production of Gogol's play The Government Inspector, showing audience members in the foreground, and actors on stage in the background.

    Almost two centuries after its opening night, Gogol’s five-act satirical play The Government Inspector continues to create a stir with every performance, seemingly no matter where. Maybe because corruption and self-serving double-talk aren’t just familiar features of 19th-century Russia, but have become ingrained facets of all systems of government and officialdom, making them recognizable to […]

  • Dividends Are Not Royalties: The SAT and Surplus Value
    Michael Parenti A young man at a desk takes the SAT.

    Michael Parenti, the Marxist author and scholar, died on January 24, 2026 at the age of ninety-two. This article originally appeared in Monthly Review 45, no. 5 (October 1993). It has been frequently noted that IQ examinations, while professing to measure innate intelligence, are riddled with racial, gender, and class biases. Thus a low-income, inner-city youth, […]
