Nicaragua joins South Africa at the ICJ in support of Palestine

Posted by: John Phoenix The way that different countries have responded to the ongoing genocide in Gaza says everything about which interests their governments really represent. Proletarian writers Subscribe to our  channel The anti-imperialist solidarity between the revolutionaries and national-liberation movements of Nicaragua and Palestine is not new, but it is testament to the principled leadership of the Sandinistas that Nicaragua is willing to put itself forward against zionism on the world stage, knowing full well that this will bring the opprobrium of international finance capital down on its head. While Yemen has been the first state actor to deliver full practical solidarity with the Palestinian struggle, and South Africa was the first to have recou...

‘Empire of lies’. Russia sums up the anti-imperialist view to the UN assembly

Posted by: John Phoenix Sergey Lavrov to general assembly: ‘Our future is being shaped by a struggle between the global majority and the neocolonial few.’ Sergey Lavrov 28 September 2023 The following speech was delivered by Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov to the 78th session of the United Nations general assembly in New York on 23 September 2023. It is becoming increasingly clear to countries targeted by imperialism, and especially the prime targets of US imperialist hostility Russia and China, that their best hope of avoiding war – or of surviving any wars they are forced into – is in working together with as many other countries as possible. Simply by adhering to terms of mutually beneficial trade and respect for the sovereignty of others, Russia an...

What is happening in the Russian economy?

Posted by: John Phoenix Enforced separation from the world market has reinforced moves back towards nationalisation and planning. Proletarian writers Subscribe to our  channel All serious commentators now agree that, far from bringing Russia to its knees, the need to respond to the sanctions war that was launched in 2014 has motivated a consolidation of its economy and a big shift back towards planning and state control of key industries. Whilst continuing to sing hymns in praise of capitalism, Russia’s leaders are increasingly looking to the period of socialist construction for inspiration. https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/1595563536%3Fsecret_token%3Ds-0qXUxImyzl7&color=%23ff5500&inverse=false&auto_play=false&am...

Josef Stalin on the Labour party and NATO

Posted by: John Phoenix ‘The Labour government has agreed to turn Britain into a military and air base for the United States of America to attack the Soviet Union.’ Josef Stalin Subscribe to our  channel ‘Mr Morrison is silent about the other freedom, which has a deeper meaning than the freedom of speech, press etc. He does not say anything about the freedom of the people from exploitation, about the freedom from economic crisis, from unemployment, from poverty. Perhaps Mr Morrison is not aware that all these freedoms have existed in the USSR for a long time. And it is precisely these freedoms that are the basis of all other freedoms. Is it because of this that Mr Morrison ashamedly keeps quiet about these basic freedoms, because these, unfortunately, do not exist in...

Josef Stalin on Winston Churchill and the spread of socialism to eastern Europe

Posted by: John Phoenix How did the Soviet Union react to former prime minister Churchill’s notoriously anticommunist ‘iron curtain’ speech in 1946? Josef Stalin Subscribe to our  channel In March 1946, only eight months after the close of hostilities, former wartime prime minister Winston Churchill gave a speech that has gone down in history as heralding the start of the cold war. In it, he outlined key tenets of British imperial policy towards the rest of the world: Britain’s so-called ‘special relationship’ with (ie, subservience to) the USA, and its determination to do everything possible to isolate and bring down the socialist camp and to destroy the influence of communism over the masses in the west. https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcl...

Your pension at work: the obscenity of ‘investment funds’

Posted by: John Phoenix What does the case of the Merseyside Pension Fund tell us about how retirement is funded in Britain today? Proletarian writers Subscribe to our  channel The imperialists, through their relentless drive for profit, cannot help but continuously expose the fact that, at both a local and a global level, ruthless exploitation of the masses is their sole concern. The first advances in the struggle for pensions in Britain came in the form of concessions from the Liberal government of Herbert Asquith in 1908. A pension for the over-70s (a very small group amongst the working class at that time) was introduced and paid for out of general taxation. This reform was built on by the establishment of the welfare state after 1945. The retirem...

Russian ambassador: October shaped the political, economic and social landscape

Posted by: John Phoenix ‘Turning to the lessons of a century ago is extremely important now that international relations are going through truly tectonic shifts.’ Russia Embassy Friday 22 November 2024 As the US-led imperialist camp wages a ruthless all-out war against the Russian Federation via its Ukrainian proxies, anti-imperialist Russia is resuscitating many bonds of anti-colonial assistance and fraternal cooperation with oppressed and socialist countries that were built during the socialist period of the USSR. This has put today’s Russia, along with the People’s Republic of China, at the heart of the worldwide struggle to finally bring an end to the era of imperialist plunder and domination. The following message was sent by the Russian embassy in London to our party’...

This is a very interesting debate, comrades. I find it both encouraging and discouraging at the same time. Why are we having this debate? I would like to say that I agree with motion 8. It’s quite clear that this is an issue which is causing genuine confusion – and not only in our party. Our party is the re...
