Nairobi declaration: Down with imperialism and fascism!
Jun 1100:07:15Tap to summarizeParty statement | 25 May 2026 The following joint statement was made by parties attending the World Anti-imperialist Platform’s tenth international conference in Nairobi, Kenya on 9 May 2026. Having been driven out in humiliation from the Sahel, the imperialist beast is roaming across Africa in search of new prey. The peoples of Africa, who have long waged courageous struggles to liberate themselves from imperialist oppression, have in recent years achieved notable victories, particularly in the Sahel region, and advanced forcefully toward people-centred societies. -------------------------------------------------- Subscribe!

Ayatollah Hussein Ali Khamenei – the leader who defined modern Iran
Jun 900:05:59Tap to summarizeThis short overview is reproduced from the Grandmasters of Geopolitics Telegram channel, with thanks. From his student days onwards, Ayatollah Khamenei’s life story was interwoven with the history of modern Iran. In the 1960s and 70s, Ali Khamenei was arrested six times by the shah’s secret police, Savak, enduring torture and internal exile. These years of underground resistance solidified his revolutionary credentials. Meanwhile, his experience on the frontlines of the US-backed 1980-88 Iran-Iraq war strengthened his antipathy and mistrust towards US imperialism. ------------------------------------------------ Subscribe!

On imperialism's perfect proxy, Ukraine – Garland Nixon & Joti Brar, ep 61
Jun 800:59:10Tap to summarizeReproduced from @garlandn with thanks. • IMPERIALISM: DECADENT & DOOMED W/JOTI BRAR... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5RPfHV7Llpc This week I spoke with Garland Nixon about my recent visit to Moscow to take part in the Third Anti-Fascist Forum, hosted by the Communist Party of the Russian Federation (KPRF), under the specific theme of anti-terrorism. We discussed the connected between imperialism and fascism, and imperialism and terrorism, and the way in which both are used to create proxy forces and an element of deniability to imperialist suppression and warmongering. The imperialists are the principal terrorists in the world today. There is nothing more terroristic than the conducting of genocidal wars against people whose only crime is to live in a place where sovereignty is considered absolutely intolerable by the overlords of monopoly finance capital! We noted the painful coincidence whereby the forum convened less than 48 hours after the horrific terrorist attack by the Nato/Kiev junta on a girl's dormitory in Russia (Starobilsk, Lugansk, to be precise), and discussed the rationale behind the systematic and deliberate targeting of children by the imperialist war machine today. What do western ‘strategists’ hope to achieve by perpetrating such outrages, which are certainly NOT accidental? We also talked about the doublespeak indulged in by imperialist politicians and media, whereby on the one hand they create forces of real terrorism which they CLAIM to be opposing (while actually supporting them), and on the other hand label all their opponents, whether internal antiwar activists or external freedom fighters, as 'terrorists' who must be suppressed in the harshest way possible – for the 'protection' of the wide population, naturally. ______________________________________________ Subscribe!

The nefarious, prejudicial and deeply-flawed IHRA ‘definition’ of antisemitism, pt 1
Jun 700:40:12Tap to summarizeRanjeet Brar | 1 May 2026 Dr Ranjeet Brar, general secretary of the CPGB-ML and consultant vascular surgeon, writes on his experience of the enforcement of the IHRA ‘definition of antisemitism’ and its deeply troubling consequences. Why has this definition taken on such importance in our society, and how is it being used to criminalise anti-zionist speech, despite not having any legal force? The IHRA ‘definition of antisemitism’ seeks to label legitimate criticism of the criminal and genocidal policies and actions of the Israeli state as ‘racist’ – and therefore to outlaw the legitimate resistance of the Palestinian people and the anti-imperialist movement which supports that resistance. -------------------------------- Subscribe!

Stalin’s Library by Geoffrey Roberts – a resumé and review, pt 7
Jun 700:16:58Tap to summarizeStalin’s study of history and diplomacy informed the Soviet Union’s careful handling of foreign affairs and in particular its dealings with the imperialist powers. Contrary to the myths peddled by Khrushchev and Trotsky and repeated endlessly by anticommunist historians, Josef Stalin was a selfless, modest and devoted revolutionary, and a lifelong student of Marxist-Leninist science. -------------------------------------------------- Subscribe!

What do you think of Stalin?
Jun 500:04:01Tap to summarizeHere is what he had to say in an interview with German author Emil Ludwig when asked if he 'ruled through fear' “Do you really believe that we could have retained power and have had the backing of the vast masses for 14 years by methods of intimidation and terrorisation? No, that is impossible. The tsarist government excelled all others in knowing how to intimidate. It had long and vast experience in that sphere. The European bourgeoisie, particularly the French, gave tsarism every assistance in this matter and taught it to terrorise the people. ... Just now you asked me whether everything in our country was decided by one person. Never under any circumstances would our workers now tolerate power in the hands of one person.” Joseph Stalin, Works.

The late and unlamented Eddy Shah
Jun 400:19:57Tap to summarizeEddy Shah, prime minister and Margaret Thatcher at the National Free Enterprise awards in 1984. Shah saw his chance when new printing technology and new anti-union laws presented the perfect opportunity for trying to break the power of the print workers’ union. But the foundation for the printers’ defeat was laid not only by state forces but also by the sell-outs within the trade union movement itself: namely, by the treacherous leaders of the TUC and the electricians’ union. The maverick newspaper owner who worked with scabs, the TUC and the state to bring down Britain’s powerful print workers’ union. ---------------------------------------------- Subscribe! Donate!

Report from Tommy Robinson’s Unite The Kingdom fascist rally
Jun 200:06:12Tap to summarizeYaxley-Lennon and his lumpen flock are a crude domestic manifestation of the racism generated by bourgeois ideology in all imperialist countries. Tommy Robinson, paid-up rent-a-fascist of the zionists, roused a mob devoid of rationality and fed on a diet of lies, to think and act in direct opposition to their own interests. Workers must be educated to recognise the ruling class for what it is – the true enemy of the working class. ------------------------------------------------- Subscribe! Donate!

Joti arrested by Kenyan police on demo – Garland Nixon & Joti Brar, ep 60
Jun 100:47:07Tap to summarizeReproduced from @garlandn with thanks. This week I spoke with Garland Nixon about my recent experience inside a Kenyan police cell. Why were we in Nairobi joining an anti-imperialist conference and then a street protest against the France-Africa summit in the first place? What is France’s interest in Kenya, and what is the Kenyan government’s role in Nato and in the African front of WW3? And what can three days and nights in police cells teach us about the nature of the Kenyan state and its relationship to its own people? What do the conditions and processes we experienced there reveal about the nature of neocolonial rule in Africa? One other notable aspect of our incarceration was that while it was major news in Kenya and some other parts of the world, the British media, British political establishment AND the British 'left' (antiwar movement, trade union movement, 'independent' media, various 'communist' and 'socialist' parties) all maintained a strict silence over the event. No one here seemed remotely interested in highlighting the unlawful locking up of a British citizen and anti-imperialist activist in a nation that is known to be a close 'ally' (proxy) of Britain. Meanwhile, the political nature of our detention was made very clear to us, since the Kenyan state had to break its own constitution and the police had to override all their own procedures to keep us locked up for so long without bringing us to court. It was made clear that the orders came from 'on high', but HOW high? Were those giving the orders inside or OUTSIDE the country? The fight for freedom and sovereignty in Kenya and Africa continue, and our comrades in the CPM Kenya are building a broad movement that aims to carry through the national-democratic revolution that was denied the people in 1963. Their activities and the growing anger of the impoverished masses has clearly put fear into the ruling comprador elite and their imperialist paymasters.

Why is North Korea not the aggressor state?
May 3100:04:15Tap to summarizeSouth Korea is a colony of Anglo-American imperialism. The Democratic Republic of Korea, otherwise known as North Korea, is a demonised state that is described as 'the aggressor' by Western Media for its defensive actions in response to the U.S. empire which killed 2.5 million innocent civilians during the 1950s Korean war and still seeks to destroy them today. To the West, the DPRK does not have an army, prisons, an intelligence service, and national interests, but death squads, prison camps, secret police, and rogue-state interests. This is the language to the West employs to victimise themselves. As taken from: 'US Aggression in Korea: playing with fire!'
