Capitalism depends on precarious migrant labour to discipline workers, deepen division, and extract wealth while weaponising anti-immigrant rhetoric to obscure the neoliberal destruction of public services and social welfare.

While capitalism confines the Global South to raw extraction and cheap exports, democratic planning can break dependence, claim technological control, and turn resources into collective economic power.

When imperialism turns knowledge, technology, and art into instruments of submission, radical traditions teach another lesson: oppressed peoples can seize those tools and transform them into weapons of liberation.

At this hour, solidarity begins with a clear demand: the United States and Israel must end their illegal war, and they must retreat.

Behind the polished story of Western progress lies another history: steam power, modern banking, and industrial capitalism were not born of peaceful innovation but paid for with the blood of enslaved people.

The revolutionary legacy of Fidel Castro, who would have turned 100 this week, reminds us that breaking free from neocolonial plunder demands the rigorous construction of productive capacity and an unyielding commitment to human dignity.

While popular energy can fill streets and win elections, social power is the patient, organised capacity of the working class to transform society and make dignity the common sense of the age.

The tapering off of news coverage on the U.S.-Israeli genocide has done little to abate the violence. In fact, its permanence is precisely what allows the world to look away.

The dollar may appear to be a neutral currency, yet it is in fact a form of imperial power, disciplining economies, financing war, and forcing the Global South to fund its own subordination.

The Global North’s prescriptions for development, including the IMF’s tired dogmas, have failed. It is time for a new development theory rooted in the experiences of the Global South.

Every year, unsafe food causes 866 million illnesses and 1.5 million deaths, with young children suffering nearly a third of all cases of foodborne disease. This is the predictable outcome of a food economy organised around profit rather than the right to food.

Venezuela is rebuilding amid an information war that obscures the effects of sanctions, frozen assets, and decades of U.S. economic warfare–and turns human suffering into another pretext to discredit the Bolivarian process.

Since the 1990s, an invisible intellectual architecture has shaped what counts as legitimate economic thought, narrowing debate until it seems like there are no alternatives. Reversing this brain capture is an urgent task.

A profound contradiction confronts East Asia: the region drives global development, yet U.S. imperialism seeks to transform it into a frontline of the New Cold War. The region’s future depends on ordinary people, not war planners.

It bears thinking that the world needs to apologize to Lebanon and to Palestine as the genocide by Israel grinds on from Gaza City to Beirut.

As a declining imperialist system lashes out to preserve its declining order, working-class organisation becomes not only necessary for the oppressed of the world but indispensable to human survival.

Economic growth alone cannot secure genuine sovereignty in Asia; a regional platform for coordination remains a vital material necessity to safeguard the region against imperialism and neocolonialism.

While the capitalist system rewards short-term cycles, building a dignified future is a slow task that requires disciplined organisation and an enduring struggle to bring forth the social forces of a new world.

The widespread misery imposed by capitalism demands that we organise hope through collective struggle; only then can we build a future where human dignity supersedes the destructive profit motive.
