Haiti’s Choice is Social Revolution or Foreign Intervention

BY W. T. WHITNEY Photograph Source: Voice of America – https://www.voanews.com/a/angry-haitians-demand-regime-change/4782379.html – Public Domain With long experience of chaos, violence, and dysfunctional governance, Haiti looks now to be on the verge of new crisis in the form of foreign military intervention. U.S. and United Nations decision-makers have held back, but now they look to be moving, again. The need all the while has been for change so that all Haitians might live decent lives. Whatever is in the works now offers little prospect for rearrangement of political and social hierarchies in Haiti. Haitians for several years have faced high prices, recurring shortages of essential supplies, and deadly gang violence in cities that has converted Haiti into a war zone a...

The Border After Title 42: US Government is Illegal, Not Migrants

BY TAMARA PEARSON A migrant speaks out for his rights from a shelter in Mexico City. The mural behind him depicts the moon and says, “From here, you can’t see borders.” Photo by Tamara Pearson. Title 42 ends today at midnight, but the US-led war on refugees will continue, as the policies that are replacing Title 42 are in many ways, much worse. For the past three years, the US has used the pandemic as a pretext to implement Title 42 and violate basic human rights. Under the measure, it has deported or detained 6.9 million mostly Latin American and Caribbean migrants at its southern border and denied refugees their right to claim asylum. Now, Title 8 will apply, and the US government will maintain its harmful relationship with Latin America, while also violating...

May Day in Cuba: Solidarity Against the Embargo

BY WALTER SMOLAREK Photograph Source: Susan Ruggles – CC BY 2.0 This year’s May Day celebration in Cuba was interrupted by severe storms that knocked out electricity in much of the country. Authorities had no choice but to postpone the traditional mass marches. But for over 150 young grassroots organizers from the United States who had traveled to the country to mark the holiday, this turn of events was just more reason to deepen their efforts to end the U.S.-imposed blockade of the country. Miya Tada, a brigade participant from New York, explained how this showed that “the biggest obstacle the Cuban people are facing is the repression and economic warfare of our own government, and that just inspires me to further the struggle against the blockade back in the United Sta...

Tucker Carlson, The Post-Left, and the Dictatorship of the Proletariat

BY NICK PEMBERTO Drawing by Nathaniel St. Clair The left must be promoted. The left is just as important as the proletariat, if not more. I am not against the left. I am against the post-left. Upon Tucker Carlson’s firing the position of the post-left became even more clarifying. Consider these tweets from the Post-Left Watch: “These people went on Tucker Carlson: Glenn Greenwald, Aaron Maté, Max Blumenthal, Michael Tracey, Russell Brand, Dennis Kucinich, Tulsi Gabbard, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Oliver Stone, Matt Taibbi, Roger Waters, Lee Fang, Tara Reade, Jimmy Dore, Cornel West, Ro Khanna, Krystal Ball…. Other people who went on Tucker Carlson: Anya Parampil, Zaid Jilani, Stephen F. Cohen, Andrew Yang, Jill Stein, Matt Stoller, Angela Nagle, Rod Blagojevich.” These folks h...

Who blew up the Kakhovka dam?

With Ukraine’s ‘offensive’ failing, and the western psyop brigade keen to talk about everything except battlefield realities, it is not hard to see who benefits. Proletarian writers Subscribe to our  channel People navigate in a rubber dinghy through the flooded streets of Kherson city, 7 June 2023. The collapse of Kakhovka dam (on the Dnieper river in the Kherson region that was recently reincorporated into Russia) and consequent release of a flood tide of water, swamping the area and causing great loss of life and widespread infrastructural damage, is the latest incident to be blamed on Russia by Washington and Kiev, as usual without a shred of evidence. As with earlier sabotage of the Kerch bridge and the Nord Stream pipe...

War for Profit: A Short History

BY BRAD WOLF The first page of the edition of the Domenica del Corriere, an Italian paper, with a drawing by Achille Beltrame depicting Gavrilo Princip killing Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria in Sarajevo. – Public Domain The senseless slaughter of World War I began with the murder of a single man, a Crown Prince of a European empire whose name no one was particularly familiar with at the time. Archduke Franz Ferdinand Carl Ludwig Joseph Maria was the presumptive heir to the Austrian-Hungarian empire in June of 1914. His assassin was a young Bosnian Serb student and the murder of the Crown Prince set off a cataclysmic series of events resulting in the deaths of over 20 million people, half of whom were civilians. An additional 20 million people were wounded. E...

A New Republican Assault on Children: Overturning Labor Laws

BY SONALI KOLHATKAR Image Source: Marguerite Martyn – Original publication: “St. Louis Post-Dispatch, April 29, 1906 – Public Domain Two recent exposés about child labor in the United States highlight how prevalent the once-outlawed practice has become. In February, the New York Times published an extensive investigative report by Hannah Dreier about scores of undocumented Central American children who were found to be working in food processing plants, construction projects, big farms, garment factories, and other job sites in 20 states around the country. Some were working 12 hours a day and many were not attending school. A second story, revealed in a press release in early May by the U.S. Department of Labor, found more than 300 children working for th...

Things Fall Apart

BY ROB URIE Photograph by Nathaniel St. Clair The US is currently on the precipice of WWIII, Americans are dying from preventable diseases at far higher rates than the citizens of nations with functioning governments, the Biden administration is ‘fighting racism’ by racially targeting Black Socialists for arrest, large banks are once again being bailed out, nearly all of the hysterical charges leveled against the American right in recent years have been disproved, the Biden administration is doing its best to bury dissent with propaganda and censorship, and the politicians in line to assume political control are the most corrupt, least capable, people in the country. The US is in a bad way. The current press practice of channeling ‘left’ and ‘right’ news to their respective a...

“You Can Do Anything”: Trump, Rape, Fascism, and the Ruling Class

Trump shut the door, she recalled, shoved her against the wall, banging her head against the wall. He pulled down her tights, put his fingers inside of her vagina, causing great ...
