Trump with South Korean President Lee Jae Myung on October 29, 2025 -- public domain image Via Dae-Han Song In a flagrant disregard for international law and national sovereignty, the Trump administration invaded and kidnapped Venezuela’s President Maduro and First Lady Cilia Flores. Rather than being an isolated event, the increasing bravado of and remarks from President Donald Trump open the terrifying possibility that, if not opposed, Trump’s war machine will proliferate

By Biljana Vankovska The New Year did not begin with hope or joy, except for the arms dealers. More precisely, for the military-industrial-media-academic-NGO complex that feeds on permanent war. Orders are flowing, profits are booming, and blood has once again become a growth sector. For any normal society, pirates belong in adventure films, not in the civilian power corridor. Yet Venezuela, more precisely, its legally elected president Nicolás Maduro, became the first trophy

Britain's Communist Party has condemned the latest threats against Cuba and challenged the British government to uphold international law. At the party's Political Committee on Sunday (January 11) , general secretary Robert Griffiths was responding to President Trump's announcement that the 64-year long economic embargo embargo on Cuba would now include all exports of Venezuela oil to the Caribbean island.

The recent military aggression by the United States and the kidnapping of President Nicolás Maduro constitute the most serious and explicit attack that US imperialism has carried out in the entire history of the Venezuelan nation. At the same time, they repres

The relationship between Cuba and Venezuela transcends traditional diplomacy; it is a phenomenon of direct confrontation against imperialism and a model of cooperation between peoples that has transformed the geopolitics of the Caribbean and South America. This alliance is not a recent or improvised development; it has deep roots, and its destruction has become a primary strategic objective for the United States.

On the case of illegalisation of the KPP We strongly condemn the unacceptable decision of the District Court in Warsaw to remove the Communist Party of Poland from the register of political parties. This decision is based on a prior ruling of the Constitutional Tribunal, issued in violation of the law, which, at the request of the President Nawrocki, ruled that the Party's goals and activities were incompatible with the Constitution of the Republic of Poland. The Tribunal's j

By Atul Chandra and Tings Chak On January 3, 2026, the United States did not merely bomb a sovereign country and capture its president. It displayed, in the most unambiguous terms, a total defiance of the post-War international order that it helped create. When US special forces captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife and National Assembly deputy Cilia Flores from Caracas and transported them to a Brooklyn jail, they did not simply violate Venezuelan sover

A new book by J.N. Cheney, an independent socialist historian focusing on the labor movement, radical politics, and community action in New York State's Mohawk Valley, looks at a largely forgotten but important moment in US labour history. The Little Falls Textile Strike of 1912-1913 took place between the famous Bread & Roses Strike and the Paterson Silk Strike, which likely contributes to its relative obscurity. Conditions for the strike were similar to the one in Lawrence,

Canada, despite claiming to have imposed an arms embargo, continues to fuel the violence unabated, its factories producing fighter jet components, explosives, and munitions that move through US channels directly into the assault. By Anne Kamath & Umer Azad, Common Dreams For decades, Canada has carefully cultivated a global reputation for principle, human rights , and moral clarity. However, that image is now cracking, and cracking fast. For too long, Canada has cloaked its i

By Shadab Murtaza In the analysis of contemporary struggles against oppression and exploitation, a recurring pattern emerges particularly on social media spaces in which debates are often artificially reduced to a false binary. On one side is the defense of local ruling elites and bourgeois governments; on the other is the endorsement of imperialist intervention and externally imposed regime change. This framing not only distorts the reality of class struggle but also sideli

Solidarity with the Venezuelan people and its government against U.S. imperialism! Freedom for President Nicolás Maduro!

Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla, member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of Cuba and Foreign Minister of Cuba: The US intends to impose its will on the rights of sovereign States and has resorted to force and aggression against Cuba for 67 years now. On its side there is its huge military power and the dimensions of its economy, plus a vast experience in aggressions and crimes. On our side there is reason, International Law and the patriotic spirit of an entire people.

Despite the candor with which US officials have stated their intent “to intimidate or coerce” Venezuelans and Cubans, US reporters and commentators seem unwilling to use the word “terror.” Trump on January 6 -- public domain image By Kevin Young, Common Dreams The US government’s official definition of “international terrorism” includes “violent acts” intended “to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion,” including through “kidnapping.” By the US def

The “polluter pays” principle transformed the energy industry half a century ago. Now, as industrial agriculture drives climate breakdown, deforestation, and water scarcity, experts say it’s time to apply the same rule to our food systems—and make corporations, not consumers, bear the cost of the damage.

Mass rally in Caracas January 7 demanding the release of Maduro -- image via X By Daniela Ortiz and Gisela Cernadas Current developments in Venezuela may appear to be unfathomable—until one recalls the long history of imperialist interference in Latin America and the Caribbean.
