Iran is alone against the Zionist aggression supported by all Western imperiaslist powers

Russia and China deny any real aid to Iran

Italian version The war of the Zionist state against Iran has the direct support, and/or political endorsement, of all the old imperialist powers of America and Europe. The new imperialist powers, Russia and China, rivals of the former, won't lift a finger to defend Iran. This is a bare fact. A fact full of political significance, for anyone willing to face reality. First of all – the Zionist war has wiped out in few hours the hypocritical humanitarian masquerade of European...

We denounce the aggression of the Zionist state to Iran

Italian version The aggression of the Zionist state to Iran is part of the Netanyahu government's warmongering policy. The same colonial state that is exterminating the Palestinian people is asserting its almighty power throughout the Middle East. After occupying Gaza, colonising the West Bank, attacking Lebanon, expanding its occupation of the Syrian Golan Heights, and bombing Yemen, Israel is now once again turning its missiles and bombers against Iran. We do not recognise any right of...

The International Trotskyist Opposition joins the International Socialist League

The unity of the revolutionary marxists around the world moves forward

Italian version The congress of the International Trotskyist Opposition (ITO), held in Rimini on May 23-25, decided by a large majority to dissolve itself in order to join the International Socialist League (LIS). This is a step forward for the unity of consistent Trotskyists around the world. The decision taken by the ITO is consistent with its basic approach. The ITO was a small international organization (present in Italy, the US, Denmark, Britain, France, and Hungary) of which the PCL...

The death of a Pope

Italian version As communists, we do not join in the universal, unanimous mourning for the death of Pope Bergoglio. In particular, we disagree with the ecstatic commemoration of his figure by the so-called radical left. Of course we deeply respect religious freedom and the feelings of the personal religious faith. But not at cost of the truth. Religion – any religion – is the opium of the people, as Marx wrote. The Catholic Church is the main world-wide dispenser of this opium,...

The inter-imperialist trade war

The test of protectionism for Trump. The independent interest of the international working class

Italian version The great revival of protectionism distinguishes Donald Trump's new direction. The use of protectionist policies is of course not new, even in recent times. Since the Great crisis of 2008, and particularly in the last decade, the raising of tariffs on import has become a widespread tool in the competition between imperialist powers. This happened even in the USA, where tariffs were first introduced by the first Trump administration and then largely retained, not...

Ukraine. The proxy war hoax falls apart

Contradictions and ending of a grotesque representation

Italian version The sweeping sequence of the international events tests the schemes of analysis. This is certainly the case with the war in Ukraine. REMOVING THE FACTS As is well known, a dominant school of thought on the left has read the Russian war of invasion in Ukraine as a proxy war of the West against Russia through Ukraine. For three years, the proxy war scheme has risen to the rank of dogma, a sort of a priori in every discussion about the war. If facts contradict theory, so...

The end of the West?

The cyclone of Trumpism and the vertiginous crisis of the transatlantic axis

Italian version Two great imperialist powers, the US and Russia, have opened negotiations for the partition of Ukraine. European imperialisms, dumped by Trump and ignored by Putin, are looking for a way to get back on the scene and participate in the banquet, but are suffering a heavy marginalization of their role. Zelensky is willing to give his country’s mineral resources to the US in exchange for military protection, only to be humiliated on mondovision by the US imperialism that...

Arms industry and Italian imperialism

Italian version Trump’s victory in the U.S. is a further factor driving the arms race in Europe. The race has been going on for at least a decade in all the imperialist states of the old continent. The Russian invasion of Ukraine has accelerated its pace. Now the pace becomes frantic. Even before the U.S. elections and their predictable outcome, the Draghi report had emphasized the need for a “common European defense” through two combined paths: raising the huge funds...

Capitalism, democracy, and the 2024 US elections

Italian version In all major US elections, a chorus of liberals, social democrats, Stalinists, and post-Stalinists urges a vote for candidates of the Democratic Party. “The Democrats have their weaknesses,” they say, “but a Republican victory would be a disaster.” This year, the chorus is louder than ever. “Democracy is at stake!” the advocates for voting for the Democrats say. But is this true? Would the election of Donald Trump destroy democracy in the...
