Weekly briefing by the Lindsey German

Samantha

Good morning. The words of the second witch in Macbeth speak of an intuitive sense of danger. Many on the left have been experiencing similar intimations in recent weeks. One such was generated by the ‘peace plan’ engineered by Trump, backed by the craven Arab states, which will take any minimal power from the people of Gaza to have any say over their lives. The western imperialists will directly control Gaza, in the grotesque embodiment of the war criminal Tony Blair as a kind of imperial viceroy. There is massive pressure for…

The world stands shocked at this reckless act on the part of the Putin government and the loss of life and suffering among the peoples exposed to the conflict. This is not a battle between the progressive forces present in the region versus reactionary ones. Both sides represent the anti-people interests of rival imperialist powers determined to control resources and gain geo-political advantage. Ukraine is a sovereign country that can choose to trade and ally itself…

Samantha

By Daniel Campos- The Marx International One of the main debates within the global left is about China, a topic on which the global left oscillates between two positions: Some argue that China is still a “socialist” country , with varying degrees of support, from those who claim it is still a workers’ state to those who speak of “market socialism .” On the other hand, there are those who claim that China is an imperialist country, competing with the US for dominance of the global capitalist economy.

Trump’s colonialist ultimatum to the Palestinians

Samantha

Presented as a turning point in the history of civilization, the “Trump Plan” for Gaza is nothing more than a colonial, enslaving ultimatum to the Palestinian resistance and the Palestinian masses. It is no coincidence that Netanyahu immediately claimed that it achieves the fundamental objectives of the ongoing genocidal operation, starting with the first: the total destruction of Hamas and the Palestinian resistance forces and their complete exclusion from any future political function. As for the oppressed Palestinian masses of Gaza and the West Bank, the democratic message is: you…
