US imperialism’s militarisation of Taiwan

By Steve Sweeney WASHINGTON is continuing to escalate tensions with China as part of its new Cold War, with last month the deployment of 200 additional troops to Taiwan. According to unnamed US officials the soldiers will be tasked with training Taiwan’s armed forces against “a rising threat from China.” The Pentagon would not be drawn on the issue, but has told the Wall Street Journal that Washington’s “commitment to Taiwan is rock-solid” (quoted by Demetri Sevastapolou in ‘Pentagon’s top China official visits Taiwan’, Financial Times, 17 February 2017). “We don’t have a comment on specific operations, engagements, or training, but I would highlight that our support for, and defence relationship with, Taiwan remains aligned against the current threat pos...

Model motion: Defy the anti-trade union laws

Within the current legal framework, workers’ right to strike in Britain has been all but annulled. This situation must be reversed by means of collective action. Proletarian writers Subscribe to our channel The policing of and media approach to the 1984/5 miners’ strike showed how seriously Britain’s capitalist class takes the class war. Until workers do likewise, they are doomed to keep sinking lower and lower into poverty and despair. This model motion for use by trade unionists and others is included in our upcoming pamphlet Manifesto for the Crisis, which will be available to buy soon in the party bookshop. ***** This [conference]* notes that, since the defeat of the heroic 1984/5 miners’ strike, several rounds of anti-trade union legis...

Model motion: No cooperation with the imperialist drive to war

Only the collective action of workers has the power to stop the war drive in its tracks. This demand must be taken up in every trade union at every level. Proletarian writers Subscribe to our channel The 78-year US occupation of south Korea has not only kept the south Korean people in misery and the entire Korean peninsula on a war footing, but has also provided the USA with a base from which to terrorise the whole of east Asia. The constant escalation of provocations against the DPRK and China, as well as the remilitarisation of Japan and its inclusion in the ‘eastern Nato’ alliance show clearly that in east Asia as in eastern Europe, US imperialism is set on provoking a new and even more catastrophic war, and is preparing the peoples of the region to become its proxi...

Model motion: Urgent measures needed to address the cost of living crisis

Why are workers being asked to pay the cost of a crisis that was not of their making? If capitalism cannot provide for its workforce, then capitalism must go. Proletarian writers Subscribe to our channel The market has proved itself to be totally unable to meet the needs of the people. The capitalists have shown themselves to be entirely unable to run their own system for the benefit of society. This model motion for use by trade unionists and others is included in our upcoming pamphlet Manifesto for the Crisis, which will be available to buy soon in the party bookshop. ***** This [conference]* notes that rampant inflation in Britain, as elsewhere, has not been caused by workers, but by capitalists, specifically by the measures the fin...

The Labour left still lost in its labyrinth

Starmer’s refusal to allow Corbyn to rejoin Labour has highlighted the true loyalties of the party’s supposed ‘left-wingers’. Proletarian writers Subscribe to our channel Are there any amongst the so-called ‘socialists’ in the parliametary Labour party who are prepared to back their former leader by seriously jeopardising their seats in parliament and jettisoning the chance to be part of the next government in order to defend their alleged ‘principles’? https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/1502261488%3Fsecret_token%3Ds-PZoq3NHKMZb&color=%23ff5500&inverse=false&auto_play=false&show_user=true In a recent article for the Times, prominent Conservative Lord Daniel Finkelstein argued that “Keir Starmer ...

Nazi entity has killed 20 journalists with impunity since 2000

Israel has killed 20 journalists with impunity since 2000 CONTACT@IFAMERICANSKNEW.ORG A mural of Al-Jazeera Arabic journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, who was killed by an Israeli soldier in the West Bank town of Jenin, is seen on a wall in Gaza City on May 15, 2022. (photo) The May 11, 2022, killing of Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh is part of a deadly, decades-long pattern. Over 22 years, the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) has documented at least 20 journalist killings by members of the Israel Defense Forces. Despite numerous IDF probes, no one has ever been charged or held responsible for these deaths. Failure to pursue justice for slain reporters undermines freedom of the press. Deaths are just one part of the story. Many journalists have...

Yeah, It’s Fascism: Connecting the Dots Between the GOP, Mass Shootings, and Terrorism

BY ANTHONY DIMAGGIO Photograph Source: Fibonacci Blue – CC BY 2.0 News reports on the mass shooter who murdered 8 people and injured 7 more at a shopping mall in Allen, Texas are now documenting his ties to rightwing extremism. NBC News reports that the killer “was a 33-year-old suspected neo-Nazi sympathizer named Mauricio Garcia,” who was “armed with an “AR-15 style assault weapon,” while The Washington Post reports that he had a patch that said “RWDS” – an acronym for “right wing death squad” – a term that’s adopted by white supremacists. NBC reports that Garcia had a history of posting on social media various “rants against Jews, women, and racial minorities” and posted content on “extremist online forums, such as 4chan,...

Beltway Mediocrities Bumble Toward Armageddon

BY EVE OTTENBERG Photograph Source: Senate Democrats – CC BY 2.0 Our government is run by second-raters. Mediocrities in the state department and national security apparatus have seized the political steering wheel, because president Joe Biden, like senator Dianne “No Show” Feinstein and many others in our extensive gerontocracy do not inspire confidence. And the results are disastrous for Americans. De-dollarization across much of the planet and the possibility of a two-front, conceivably radioactive war against China and/or Russia. You think these two developments sound far-fetched? Well, the former is already underway, and as for the latter, rabid neo-cons and jingoistic four-star generals have stepped into the vacuum at the top and on your TV screen, and these dimwits c...

The Quiet Warrior: Russell Jim’s Struggle Against Nuclear Colonialism

BY JOSHUA FRAK The following is an excerpt from the award-winning Atomic Days: The Untold Story of the Most Toxic Place in America (Haymarket Books, 2022). He was the catalyst in my belief that Indian tribes should be treated as full, equal participants in the process. — James Asselstine There are not a lot of heroes out here. Few in recent memory have risen to the daunting challenge, immersing themselves in Hanford’s scientific complexities and its historic and cultural implications. If there are any champions of the cause, Russell Jim (Kii’ahł) was certainly one of them. The “Quiet Warrior,” Jim was a lifelong advocate for the Yakama Nation. The “conscience of the cleanup,” Jim was considered by many to be the spiritual leader of the Hanford resistance. Jim serve...
