‘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...

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’...

Project Ukraine unravels

Posted by: John Phoenix Whilst all hell is breaking out across the Middle East, hogging most of the headlines, Nato’s proxy war against Russia is coming to an ever stickier end. Project Ukraine, instigated primarily by the US and Britain, had as its aim regime-change in Moscow, to be followed by the weakening and balkanisation of the whole of Russia and the forcible opening of the country to outside market forces. Imperialism is driven to this insane behaviour because it is running out of territories to loot and cheap labour from which to milk surplus value. But the irreversible collapse of the proxy war against Russia is now slamming the door in the face of Nato barbarism. This is the end of the road for Project Ukraine. The Kiev junta is losing on the battlefield, its governm...

The promise of BRICS

Posted by: John Phoenix Since the organisation now known as BRICS was founded in 2009 it has evolved considerably under the pressure of the world crisis of imperialism.  Founded as a group initially consisting of Brazil, Russia, India and the Peoples Republic of China (South Africa joined in 2010), it arose out of a shared frustration on the part of the four founding members of the group at the dominance of the US in terms of its control over most of the international institutions that currently exist, such as the UN, IMF, World Bank and World Trade Organisation. The foundation of BRICS and its subsequent expansions have seen it evolve into an alternative international organisation that countries are now queueing up to join as US dominance of the international financial an...

Biden’s ‘Samson Option’

Posted by: John Phoenix Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky with U.S. President Joe Biden in Kiev during a visit by the U.S. president, Feb. 20, 2023. (White House/Adam Schultz) It has been clear since the terror attacks in New York and Washington on Sept. 11, 2001 — the date I choose to mark a great turn in the global order — that America’s abdication of its postwar hegemony was to rank high among the 21st century’s defining events. The questions from that day onward have been how the policy cliques in Washington would respond to such a change in America’s place in the community of nations and what they might do — how great the risks they would take — to avoid, or at least forestall, this world-historical shift. How chaotically or otherwise, to put this question anothe...
