    Cop City kills before it opens

    Originally published: Black Agenda Report on January 25, 2023 (more by Black Agenda Report)  |

    What could possibly go wrong with a $90 million, 85-acre police training ground that the community doesn’t want? Someone could be killed, and that happened before Atlanta’s awful Cop City project has even been built.

    The Ukrainian Solidarity Network: The highest stage of White Western social imperialism

    Originally published: Black Agenda Report on January 18, 2023 (more by Black Agenda Report)  |

    The Ukraine conflict was caused by the U.S. backed right wing coup in 2014 and the duplicity of Europeans who claimed to be working for peace. Anyone who supports these actions but claims leftist credentials must be challenged.

    White Lives Matter more in Ukraine

    Originally published: Black Agenda Report on January 4, 2023 (more by Black Agenda Report)  |

    The open white supremacy and fascism exhibited in Ukraine are conveniently swept under the rug. Nazis are bad, unless they serve the interests of the U.S. state.

    Ghost stories of capitalism: Racism is REAL, and it’s a class struggle

    Originally published: Black Agenda Report on December 14, 2022 (more by Black Agenda Report)  |

    In today’s political climate, the word racism has become taboo.

    Brittney Griner and the U.S. State

    Originally published: Black Agenda Report on December 14, 2022 (more by Black Agenda Report)  |

    Brittney Griner’s ordeal in Russia is over. But she has been secreted away for “reintegration” and the U.S. continues its own brand of international hostage taking.

    Hakeem Jeffries and the railroad workers

    Originally published: Black Agenda Report on December 7, 2022 (more by Black Agenda Report)  |

    A new Black “first” came along at the same moment that the Democratic Party showed itself to be a servant of the ruling classes. Hakeem Jeffries is a very willing tool of powerful people. There is no reason to celebrate his ascension to the House Minority Leader position.

    EXCERPT: Brussels Conference Act of 1890

    Originally published: Black Agenda Report on November 30, 2022 by Editors of The Black Agenda Review (more by Black Agenda Report)  | (Posted Dec 07, 2022)

    The 1890 Brussels Act provided Europeans with the legal and humanitarian justification for the colonization of Africa. Why have so few heard of it?

    The crisis of Western imperialism and the imperative of war and repression

    Originally published: Black Agenda Report on November 30, 2022 (more by Black Agenda Report)  |

    The world as we know it must change. Humanity cannot survive under imperialist and capitalist structures.

    Haiti in the Caribbean: A political economy perspective on the urgent crisis of imperialism

    Originally published: Black Agenda Report on November 23, 2022 by Tamanisha J. John (more by Black Agenda Report)  | (Posted Nov 28, 2022)

    If Haiti is “the poorest country in the hemisphere” it is because imperialist policies continue to impoverish and destabilize that nation.

    Originally published: Black Agenda Report on November 16, 2022 by Benjamin Woods (more by Black Agenda Report)  | (Posted Nov 19, 2022)

    The author makes the case that liberalism is a dead end and that socialism is the only tool for Black liberation.

    Ethiopia nears victory in Its Civil War, U.S. scrambles to control the outcome

    Originally published: Black Agenda Report on October 26, 2022 (more by Black Agenda Report)  |

    The Ethiopian and Eritrean armies now seem close to winning a two-year war with the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF,) a U.S.-backed clique that ruled Ethiopia brutally for 27 years, from 1991 to 2018.

    Politicians make Black people the face of crime

    Originally published: Black Agenda Report on November 2, 2022 (more by Black Agenda Report)  |

    Manufactured crime panics are still a successful method of getting votes from white people.

    The Global Fragility Act, April 2022

    Originally published: Black Agenda Report on October 25, 2022 by Black Agenda Report Editors (more by Black Agenda Report)  | (Posted Oct 27, 2022)

    The U.S. is ushering a new foreign policy doctrine through “The Global Fragility Act.” We need to not only understand these new forms of imperial practice, but to also see the cunning use of language in the service of U.S. imperialism.

    For African Americans, employing a radical internationalist perspective is not a luxury, but a necessity

    Originally published: Black Agenda Report on October 5, 2022 by Dr. Gerald Horne (more by Black Agenda Report)  | (Posted Oct 08, 2022)

    Black people in this country must reconnect with the internationalist tradition in order to understand the crises taking place around the world and in the U.S. Domestic and international issues cannot be separated.

    Biden lies at the United Nations

    Originally published: Black Agenda Report on September 28, 2022 (more by Black Agenda Report)  |

    U.S. presidents routinely violate international law and the United Nations Charter. Yet every year they appear before that body and proclaim American innocence.

    Asylum, migration and U.S. foreign policy

    Originally published: Black Agenda Report on September 21, 2022 (more by Black Agenda Report)  |

    Immigration rules are often determined by U.S. foreign policy. Citizens of nations under U.S. attack, such as Venezuela, are made eligible for asylum. Haitians suffer under U.S. dictates but are deported and returned to the hell that Washington created.

    BAR Book Forum: Maano Ramutsindela, Frank Matose, and Tafadzwa Mushonga’s Book, “The Violence of Conservation in Africa”

    Originally published: Black Agenda Report on September 14, 2022 by Roberto Sirvent (more by Black Agenda Report)  | (Posted Sep 21, 2022)

    Maano Ramutsindela, Frank Matose, and Tafadzwa Mushonga: “The book places African states and their behaviors towards African people in conservation spaces within the global environmental agendas of powerful states and well-funded conservation organizations. It interprets conservation as an ideology referencing African landscapes without people. Such an ideology separates people from their biophysical and cultural milieus, leading to conservation violence authorized by states against their citizens.”

    Decolonizing the mind

    Originally published: Black Agenda Report on September 14, 2022 (more by Black Agenda Report)  |

    The word decolonization should not be treated as trendy slang. It describes an important political and psychological process. Media and state attempts at indoctrination show just how important it is.

    Biden’s studen loan scam

    Originally published: Black Agenda Report on August 31, 2022 (more by Black Agenda Report)  |

    The Biden administration announcement of so-called student loan debt relief does little to alleviate the problem it claims to solve.

    Harry Magdoff | F 16N Fighting Falcon | MR Online

    In this reprint of the February 1994 “Notes from the Editors,” former MR editors Harry Magdoff and Paul M. Sweezy ask: “The United States could not have won a more decisive victory in the Cold War. Why, then, does it continue to act as though the Cold War is still on?”
