    Great Satan at the Strait: Iran, International law, and the collapse of the “rules-based order”

    Originally published: Weaponized Information on May 11, 2026 by Prince Kapone (more by Weaponized Information) (Posted May 13, 2026)

    This investigation excavates how Associated Press reporting frames U.S.-Israeli coercion as diplomacy while presenting Iranian sovereignty as instability and defiance. It reconstructs the omitted legal, geopolitical, and economic terrain surrounding the war, exposing the contradiction between the UN Charter system and the operational reality of imperial power. It reframes the conflict as part of a broader struggle over sovereignty, technological development, sanctions warfare, and the declining legitimacy of U.S. global domination. Finally, it advances a program of anti-imperialist organization and international solidarity aimed at resisting war, blockade, sanctions, and the normalization of permanent coercion against nations of the Global South.

    Breaking the Bonds of Fate: Epicurus, Marx, and the Struggle Against Determinism in an Age of Imperial Decline

    Originally published: Weaponized Information on December 21, 2025 by Prince Kapone (more by Weaponized Information) (Posted Dec 29, 2025)

    A Weaponized Intellects review of John Bellamy Foster’s Breaking the Bonds of Fate—recovering Epicurus as a foundational materialist, tracing Marxism’s insurgent struggle against determinism and inevitability, and reasserting historical agency against the politics of surrender in an age of imperial decline.

  • Nietzsche: The Aristocratic Rebel

    “The Philosopher of the Master Class” — Why Losurdo’s Nietzsche Matters Now

    Originally published: Weaponized Information on October 10, 2025 by Prince Kapone (more by Weaponized Information) (Posted Oct 23, 2025)

    A review of Nietzsche: The Aristocratic Rebel by Domenico Losurdo — a ruthless excavation of Europe’s most reactionary philosopher. Losurdo drags Nietzsche out of myth and into history, exposing his war on equality as the moral software of empire. Our review reads Losurdo as a weapon: a guide for revolutionaries to unmask how Nietzsche’s aristocratic creed still powers the ideologies of capital, empire, and Silicon Valley.

    Race/Class 101: The Dialectics of Nation, Class Struggle and Revolutionary Rupture in the United States

    Originally published: Weaponized Information on September 8, 2025 by Prince Kapone (more by Weaponized Information) (Posted Sep 16, 2025)

    From genocide and slavery to neoliberal globalization and Trump 2.0, the United States has never been a multiracial democracy—it has been a settler empire. To fight it demands clarity: nation and class cannot be separated.

  • Eurocentrism: Modernity, Religion, and Democracy

    The geography of lies: Samir Amin and the assassination of Eurocentrism

    Originally published: Weaponized Information on August 27, 2025 by Prince Kapone (more by Weaponized Information) (Posted Sep 08, 2025)

    A Revolutionary Review of Eurocentrism: Modernity, Religion, and Democracy by Samir Amin. Eurocentrism is not a flaw—it’s the software of global capitalism. Samir Amin detonates its ideological core, exposing how it serves empire, whitewashes history, and infects even the Marxist tradition. This review is not just critique—it’s insurgency.

  • China brings electricity, roads, and rail to the Global South

    Whose workers, whose wages? A revolutionary intervention against the Imperial Left’s China syndrome

    Originally published: Weaponized Information on July 10, 2025 by Prince Kapone (more by Weaponized Information) (Posted Aug 27, 2025)

    While China brings electricity, roads, and rail to the Global South, the imperial left brings its measuring tape—only to weep over wage gaps. But whose gap are they really mourning? And in whose name?

  • Trump

    Losurdo vs. Liberalism: Slavery, extermination, and the true history of the “Community of the Free”

    Originally published: Weaponized Information on August 9, 2025 by Prince Kapone (more by Weaponized Information) (Posted Aug 12, 2025)

    Liberalism likes to wear its Sunday best.

Monthly Review Essays

  • Parallel Universes
    Andy Merrifield

    Anybody who’s ever leafed through Finnegans Wake will quickly recognize that we’re not dealing here with a standard novel, just as anybody leafing through Marx’s Capital will know we’re not dealing with standard economics.

Lost & Found

  • The Rise and Fall of the United Farm Workers
    Michael D. Yates Cesar Chavez (center) marches with United Farm Workers members in Redondo Beach, California, July 9, 1975.

    Chavez could not abide the idea, much less the reality, that the farm workers themselves could and should run the union.
