On Nazi’s Settler-Democratic Reform

On Israel’s Settler-Democratic Reform BY NICOLA PERUGINI – KAREEM RABIE Photograph Source: Oren Rozen – CC BY-SA 4.0 A lot of ink has been spilled during the recent months defining Netanyahu’s reform of Israel’s judiciary as an “assault on Israeli democracy” and a “judicial coup.” The Israeli Supreme Court began hearing arguments against the reform on Tuesday in what is being described as a “constitutional crisis.” But a closer look at the political-legal agendas and historical development of some of the most ethno-nationalist sectors of the Israeli government reveals a more complicated relationship between the judicial overhaul, the Occupation, and Israel’s settler democracy. In 2010, the two of us were in Palestine researching different aspects of Palesti...

Ukraine: Is the USA changing proxies in midstream?

With the counteroffensive proven to be a dead duck, all the ‘friends’ of Ukraine who egged it on to an impossible ‘victory’ are blaming the proxies for losing the war. Lalkar writers Subscribe to our channel Just as the Ukrainians are being used as so much disposable cannon fodder by the imperialists, so foreign mercenaries are used by Nato’s Ukrainian army. Used to swell the ranks for kamikaze assaults on Russian positions, the numbers of their fallen are uncounted and their wounded are left to bleed out until all Ukrainians have been evacuated. As the fabled Ukrainian ‘counteroffensive’ against Russian forces stutters on with nothing to show for itself save a few terrorist spectaculars (like the drone attack on the Kremlin and drone attacks on the Kerch bridge and...

With depleted uranium, nuclear war is underway in Europe

Nato war crimes in Donbass don’t stop at DU; Donbass civilians are routinely targeted by cluster bombs and petal mines. Steve Sweeney Subscribe to our channel In May this year, a warehouse containing depleted uranium rounds that had recently arrived from Britain was blown up. As the resulting radiation cloud blew westward over Poland, radiation monitoring stations were immediately closed down. Nevertheless, experts predict that the long-term effects from the radioactive dust will be felt for decades in Ukraine, Poland, the Baltics, Hungary and Germany, potentially reaching as far as Britain and delivering genetic damage and death such as was seen in Yugoslavia and Iraq – cancer, birth defects, miscarriage, infertility, lung damage and mental problems (Gulf War Syndrome...

Ofgem serves corporate energy profiteers

The energy regulators work, just not for workers. Proletarian writers Subscribe to our channel Last winter, despite being relatively mild, saw excess deaths increase by 50 percent compared with the year before. As energy debt spirals and inflation continues to grow, the problems of hunger and fuel poverty are set to increase dramatically. Energy debt has soared over the last few years, with Ofgem, the government’s energy sector ‘regulator’ estimating that collective gas and electricity debt is in the order of £2.3bn. Debt on prepay meters alone now sits at a staggering £1.032bn; an increase of more than 300 percent since 2019, when it stood at £328m. Almost eight million people had to borrow money to pay their energy b...

‘Post-socialist mortality crisis’ proves that deindustrialisation kills

‘Post-socialist mortality crisis’ proves that deindustrialisation kills

The ruling classes stir up populism amongst deindustrialised populations in order to try to persuade workers to pin the blame for their hardship onto other workers. Ella Rule Subscribe to our channel The removal of decent jobs and services created a ‘katastroika’ in the former Soviet Union and east European socialist countries, with a terrible downward spiral in social conditions and life expectancy. A recent article in the Cambridge Journal of Economics entitled ‘Deindustrialisation and the post-socialist mortality crisis’ once again draws attention to the catastrophic effect on the working-class people of the countries of the Soviet Union and eastern Europe of the overthrow of communism. The word ‘katastroika’ has been coined to describe thi...

Nigerien coup spearheads a popular revolution

Another Sahel comprador regime has fallen to a popular movement led by patriotic army officers. The contagion is bound to spread. On 26 July, units of his presidential guard arrested Niger’s president, Mohammed Bazoum. The guards proceeded to dismiss the regime headed by Ouhoumodou Mohamadou, and head of the presidential guard General Abdourahamne Tchiani was declared the leader of a new government entitled the ‘National Council for the Safeguard of the Homeland’. It soon became clear that this was no mere squabble between rival factions of the Nigerien ruling class. Actions in the streets showed unequivocally that the coup leaders had mass support – not only in Niger itself but also across the wider Sahel region. In its first official communique, the new government decla...

Macquarie stokes the roaring inflationary fires

Vulture capitalists are not ‘bad apples’ – they are the inevitable product of a system in deep and permanent crisis and decline. Lalkar writers Subscribe to our channel Much criticism has been aimed at the vulture practices of Australia’s Macquarie bank. And indeed, they are ruthless and amoral in the extreme. What workers need to understand is that this is not an aberration but the natural result of decaying capitalist desperation to make money when useful productive activity is no longer profitable. When privatised water utility Thames Water was publicly exposed for its dire record of negligence, letting Victorian-era pipes go to rack and ruin, failing to keep up with the resultant leaks and deliberately dumping raw sewage i...

Is Washington preparing to hang its stooge Zelensky out to dry

As well as losing its proxy war against Russia, Washington is also losing control of the propaganda war. Proletarian writers Subscribe to our channel Large numbers of the supposedly ‘game-changing’ tanks that were sent to ensure the success of Ukraine‘s ‘spring offensive’ were destroyed as soon as they neared the front lines. When an ‘invincible’ British Challenger 2 shared the same fate, its manufacturers were furious, demanding that from now on all Challengers should be kept at a safe distance from Russian artillery! Now that it is beginning to dawn on everyone that Kiev’s ‘counteroffensive’ is a complete failure and that pouring more and more young lives and vastly expensive weaponry into the bottomless pit of the proxy war against Russia has ...

Aymeric Monville: Report back from Xinjiang

A French communist reflects on the yawning gulf between reality on the ground and the propaganda lies being endlessly repeated in western media. Aymeric Monville Subscribe to our channel How many more times will the CIA, MI6 and co be able to promote their baseless slanders without fatally undermining the credibility of the governments they work for? Aymeric Monville is the international officer of the Pôle de Renaissance Communiste en France (PRCF) and editor at Delga printing house. ***** I am back from Xinjiang, where I spent several days in the company of the writer Maxime Vivas, some of whose books I have had the honour of publishing. We visited Kashgar, a town close to the Afghan border with a 92 percent Uyghur popul...

Iran-Venezuela cooperation: another blow to imperialist economic warfare

With one third of the world’s countries now subject to some kind of sanction, this favoured tool of coercion is fast losing its power. Proletarian writers Subscribe to our channel Increasingly, the favoured economic weapon of US imperialism – economic sanctions – is having precisely the opposite effect of the one intended. Instead of cowering before the might of the all-powerful USA, sanctioned countries are becoming ever more determined to retain their independence and sovereignty, and are working together to ensure this outcome – thus fatally undermining the global hegemony of the USA. Twenty-five years ago, the list of countries denounced as official ‘enemies’ and targeted with asphyxiating economic sanctions by US imperialism was relatively s...
