May 15 marked 78 years since the Nakba, the brutal terror campaign waged by Zionist forces against Palestinians to found the state of Israel. British imperialism—having subjected the region to decades of domination, plunder, and division—was central to this catastrophe.
If anyone thought that US imperialism’s embarrassment in Iran would deter it from its escalating campaign of aggression against the Cuban Revolution, they were very mistaken.
Concretely speaking, little or nothing was achieved at the “G2” summit between China and America last week. No shift from China on Iran, no shift on tariffs, no shift on rare earths, nor on Taiwan. But in the relations of imperialist powers, the intangibles of prestige and appearance can be decisive, just as between two sets of gangsters trying to call each other’s bluff.
A Florida federal prosecutor has indicted the Cuban Revolution leader Raúl Castro with charges of conspiracy to kill US citizens and murder. This is a very dangerous escalation of the Trump-Rubio campaign to smash the Cuban Revolution and must be strongly repudiated by the working class movement internationally.
Israel is subjecting Lebanon to a campaign of “Gazafication”—systematically levelling villages, displacing populations, and targeting journalists and medical staff—under the pretext of “fighting Hezbollah.”
Nationalists. Populists. Insurgents. Independents. None of the above. These were the assorted winners of Britain’s May elections.
The closure of the Strait of Hormuz has provoked an energy crisis in India. This sudden, huge increase in the cost of living has sparked a wave of strikes across the National Capital Region encompassing nearly a hundred thousand workers.
Dublin city center was at a standstill for almost a week as farmers and haulers who had been stretched beyond breaking point blocked the streets with their heavy vehicles. Farmers joked that they had done their friends in the Green Party a favor, having at last pedestrianized Dublin City center.
Israel’s bombing of Beirut was “the deadliest ten minutes in decades,” according to The Guardian. On the same day that Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif announced a ceasefire “on all fronts,” the Zionist regime carried out the most fatal mass killing in Lebanon since the civil war of 1975–90.
According to Trump, the Iranians “ were two weeks away from having a nuclear weapon.” He has repeated this claim ad nauseum, despite saying that Iran’s nuclear program had been “totally obliterated” by American strikes during the Twelve-Day War last June. So which is it?
In January 1979, the Iranian masses brought down Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, America’s favorite Middle Eastern dictator. The movement of the Iranian people astonished the world and shook the foundations of American imperialism in the region. Though it ended in counterrevolution, the early phases of the Iranian Revolution are an inspiring example of the power of the working class.
The first casualty of war is always the truth. Here we share just a few of the ruling class’s lies about US imperialism’s war on Iran.
The Communist is the official newspaper of the party of the Revolutionary Communists of America. It is different from any other publication you’ll find in the US today. Behind this newspaper, there’s a vast network of communist activity from coast to coast. It is a tool for organizing in the streets, at protests and strikes, for building communist cells in our neighborhoods, workplaces, and campuses.
The RCA is on a mission to carry Bolshevism into the political arena of a country that’s ripe for it. Yes, we’re Bolsheviks living in the digital age, and we also use social media and our podcast to spread the communist program. But we’re not the kind of internet leftists who stay inside and “do politics” online. That’s why we need something we can carry with us into the streets and put into people’s hands. The physical paper is an instrument for building a real-life organization—a genuine Communist Party of fighters.
