Two policies for Cuba and Venezuela in the world left

The Marx International Protests against the dictatorship in Havana There are two policies, and only two, within the global left regarding Cuba and Venezuela: On the one hand, the policy of the Progressive International and 99% of the global left, which supports the Castro-Chavista capitalist dictatorships of Cuba and Venezuela. The dictatorships of the Communist Party of Cuba (PCC) and the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) are forging agreements with global imperialism, and therefore, supporting these dictatorships implies endorsing the agreements they are making with Donald Trump. This policy is exemplified by the flotilla of support for Cuba organized by capitalist governments and sectors of imperialism linked to the UN. We reject this shameful flotilla of support for ...

These teachers are now on strike. They need our help.

Türkiye: Teachers at an Italian School Demand Equality and Fair Pay Turkish teachers working at Liceo Italiano I.M.I., an institution operating in Türkiye under Italian school status, have unionized against discriminatory practices at the school.

They are calling for an end to this inequality, which they describe as...

中国资本主义独裁政权的高层爆发危机

图片显示了习近平和张有霞关系的破裂。 中国马克思主义 一场严重的危机在中国资本主义独裁政权的最顶层爆发,该政权由习近平和中国共产党(CCP)领导。2026年1月25日 ,习近平宣布撤销中央军事委员会(CMC)副主席张又侠和刘振立的职务,指控其严重违纪。至此,中央军委仅剩下两名成员:主席习近平和副主席张升民。共产党的官方媒体刊登了张又侠和刘振立的被捕的报道后,立即引发了军队内部的震动,但直接隶属于军队的媒体并没有进行任何表态,而是在舆论上史无前例地保持了长达72小时的沉默,同时高级军官们都消极对待甚至无视习近平颁布的最新命令,集体表达了军队严肃且全面反抗习近平的意愿。 中国独裁政权的危机是全球所有独裁政权危机的一部分,正如委内瑞拉的查韦斯主义、伊朗的伊斯兰原教旨主义或古巴的资本主义独裁一样,这些政权因受到人民的唾弃和排斥而陷入危机。在中国,由于仍然强大的军事、警察暴力和过于严格的信息管控,导致明面上看不到任何统治危机,但统治阶级内部已经意识到,如果继续支持习近平极端高压的独裁模式,中国共产党的"绝对统治"将因为过度积累社会矛盾而在数年内彻底崩溃。于是,在1月29日,驻扎在各个战区的军队开始大规模地在北京城外集结,这表明了统治阶级中反对习近平的力量开始采取军事手段,试图通过"剔除"习近平来捍卫各自的政治地位与既得利益。目前,北京周边已经形成了驻扎在郊区的围城部队与负责守卫首都的部队相对峙的局面。中国目前的局势反映了该政治体制最高层爆发的尖锐危机。 军方高层清洗及其风险 虽然习近平以"涉嫌严重违纪违法"等多重罪名扣押了张又侠,但在过去,两人都属于"太子党派系",并建立了合作与信任关系。 张又侠一直是习近平在军队中的核心支柱和政治上的最大依靠,曾坚定支持习近平在2015-2017年进行军事改革,也是习近平排除反对力量,修改宪法达成无限连任的最大保障。军...

Justice and solidarity with WOW! MOMO victims!!

By Sagnik Mukherjee On January 26, 2026, a massive fire tore through a warehouse complex near Ruby Crossing in the Anandapur area of Kolkata, West Bengal. The warehouse was used by WOW! MOMO, a large Chinese food chain, owned by Indian capitalists, operating across the length and breadth of the country. The fire reportedly broke out at around 3:00 AM, originating in an adjacent decorator's godown, before rapidly engulfing the nearby WOW! Momo warehouse. Initial reports confirm the recovery of 16 charred bodies, while 23 workers remain missing. Subsequent investigations revealed that both structures lacked even the most elementary fire-safety arrangements. The fire minister arrived at the site only a day after the incident ; an arrival that itself stands as a damning indictment of the...

알렉스 캘리니코스 논평:그린란드 위기가 보여 주는 골육상쟁 제국주의

아침에 읽는〈노동자 연대〉 구독구독 정기구독  후원다양한 온라인 채널스마트폰 앱  종이 신문 구입처 〈노동자 연대〉 570호   입력 2026-01-20 19:05알렉스 캘리니코스 그린란드를 둘러싼 미국과 유럽의 갈등에 관해 맨 먼저 지적해야 할 것은, 둘 다 그 섬의 운명을 결정할 권리가 없다는 것이다. 그럴 권리는 오직 그곳의 다수 주민 [그리고 선주민 — 역자] 이누이트에게 있다. 그린란드는 덴마크의 식민지다. 덴마크는 1815년 덴마크-노르웨이 동군연합이 해체될 때 그곳을 단독 지배하겠다고 선언했다. 미국은 1917년 덴마크령 서인도 제도(오늘날의 미국령 버진 아일랜드)를 사들이는 조약을 체결하면서 덴마크의 그린란드 지배를 인정했다. 트럼프는 덴마크로부터 그린란드를 사들여 이런 식의 식민지 땅따먹기를 되풀이하려 한다. 그린란드는 대체로 미개발된 천연자원이 풍부한 곳이다. 그리고 북극으로 가는 관문에 있기도 하다. 지구 온난화로 빙하가 녹으면서 북극권은 제국주의 경쟁의 주요 무대가 됐다. 미국, 중국, 러시아 등의 강대국들이 북극의 항로와 광물을 차지하기 위해 경쟁하고 있기 때문이다. 또, 트럼프는 미국의 이익을 위해 그가 개발하려 하는 “골든 돔” 미사일 방어 체계에서 그린란드가 중요한 구실을 해야 한다고 말한다. 덴마크의 사회민주당 정부는 미국이 그린란드를 병합하지 않아도 트럼프가 원하는 바를 이룰 수 있다고 호소해 왔다. 사실 덴...

QE5 faces the “perfect storm of capitalism”

mperialism activates the money-creation machine to cope with the crises that emerge from the collapse of capitalism. Daniel Campos - The Marx International The announcements made by US Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell and the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) on September 18, 2025, signaled the start of a new round of financial bailouts and rescues of the global capitalist economy. This round is the fifth that the central banks of imperialist countries have carried out since 2008, hence the name QE5, which comes from the number 5 after the term "Quantitative Easing " (QE), meaning the easing of rules for creating money. Following those announcements on September 18, Powell and the FOMC implemented three interest rate cuts, from a range of 5% to ...

History: Remembering Vladimir Ilyich Lenin on the Anniversary of His Passing

On 21 January 1924, Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, the lead architect of the 1917 October Revolution and the foundational theorist of the world's first successful socialist state, died at the age of 53. His passing was not merely the death of a man but a seismic event in the history of the global class struggle. It marked the end of the Bolshevik Revolution's first, most dynamic phase and opened a period of intense contestation over the socialist project's future. Lenin's leadership was forged in the furnace of a collapsing Tsarist autocracy, a system of feudal-capitalist barbarity that oppressed workers, peasants, and entire nations within the Russian Empire. Lenin's indispensable contribution was the translation of Marxist theory into a practical revolutionary science for the imperialist epoc...

美帝滾出委內瑞拉–北車快閃行動

1 月 11 日中午12點,火花前往台北車站,針對美國入侵委內瑞拉,進行快閃性質的街講活動。本次行動控訴美國對於委內瑞拉的介入是一種帝國主義行為,委內瑞拉的獨裁者要由委內瑞拉人民推翻,美國的介入無法帶來自由民主,只會帶來資源掠奪並換聽命於美國的買辦政府上台。 川普不在乎委內瑞拉是否民主,而在乎委內瑞拉是否聽話,是否能夠讓美國順利獲取石油資源而已,從美國與原政權的副總統已經達成某種默契就可以看的出來。 火花也同步聲援伊朗的革命,期待人民能夠靠自己推翻神權的獨裁政府,並指出去年Z世代革命與前年孟加拉革命的例子,顯示人民的力量是巨大的,同時也向台灣人民喊話,中國對台灣的併吞意圖與美國對委內瑞拉的入侵是一樣的,都是帝國的擴張,火花將與所有被壓迫者站在一起,反對這個強者可以任意欺壓弱者的世界。 東海工學社與其他參與者也同步補充美國之前的擴張歷史,說明美國的行為是不正義的,美國的擴張只會把苦難帶給其他地區的人民,並不能帶來自由與民主。 最後參與者們高唱團結人民之歌的中文版,期許所有台灣人都能來關注這個議題,並拒絕任何形式的帝國擴張 #handsoffvenezuela #委內瑞拉 #美國 #帝國主義 #侵略...
