US policy regarding Latin America is nothing new. The Monroe Doctrine (1823) established a US sphere of influence in the Western Hemisphere, which considers Latin America as the backyard of the US and treats any interference there as an act of war. The recent attack on Venezuela took place following […]
With Israel repeatedly announcing the launch of large-scale military operations in the West Bank, particularly in Nablus and Tubas, and more recently in Hebron, a series of reports published by Israeli and Western media during the final quarter of 2025 has resurfaced. These reports addressed what was described as “Iranian […]
It’s a question asked by many working people. The US establishment already has access to Greenland’s rich natural resources, and NATO already has a number of bases there. The Danish establishment was happy with its subordinate relationship with the US and willing to allow the US to expand its military […]
In December, I argued that calls to “tax the billionaires” stop well short of the real problem. The billionaire is not a moral aberration or a failure of regulation. The billionaire is the logical outcome of capitalism itself. That argument dealt with redistribution and its limits. This article follows directly […]
The rallying cry at demonstrations across Denmark over the past weeks has been: “Hands off. Greenland belongs to the Greenlanders.” On the face of it, a country united from left to right in resistance to US aggression. ‘We want democracy, we want freedom, we stand behind Greenland,’ they chant. ‘We […]
In the dark days of December, the Irish ruling class through their government, not once, not twice but three times displayed their contempt for the concept of democracy and political and economic sovereignty. They rushed through the Dail their proposals to abandon the Triple Lock governing the deployment of Irish […]
Edwin Starr’s epic anti-war song from the 1970’s asked the question ‘War, what is it good for?’ and answered ‘Absolutely Nothin!’. Notwithstanding the noble aspirations of the writer and how it positively reflected and resonated with the growing anti-Vietnam mobilisations in the US, we beg to differ with Mr Starr […]
The military and sanctions strategy against Venezuela, developed by U.S. President Donald Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, is as cynical as it is dangerous. This driven ideological plan is part of a global strategy of US monopoly capitalism. It hides behind the childlike […]
Washington’s ruling class recognises a material fact: China is now too large, too economically integrated, and too militarily capable for direct confrontation. An invasive war would be catastrophic and unwinnable. US imperialism has therefore shifted towards consolidation, prioritising not global expansion but the tightening of control over strategic regional spaces, […]
Among the rapid peace deals on the outgoing U.S. president’s agenda is an imposed “reconciliation” between Morocco and Algeria. Compared to the flashpoints in Ukraine and Gaza, their conflict has so far been fought through propaganda, not military means. In Western Sahara, the only recurring hostilities are pinprick attacks by […]
Donal Trump remains as unpredictable as ever and never more so than with his latest pronouncement on the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Just when Europe’s leading advocates of endless war were anticipating increased US participation in the conflict on behalf of the Kiev regime, Trump disappointed them. The Whitehouse […]
A new fashion dominates polite progressive politics: denouncing the billionaire. The political and media establishment now routinely laments rising inequality, yet their critique never dares to name the system that produces it. Their solution—their rallying cry—is as bold as a wet leaf: “tax the billionaires.” At first glance, the demand […]
Twenty-first-century imperialism can no longer rely on classic colonialism to transfer surplus from the Global South to the Global North. Instead, neoliberalism offshores production to low-wage countries, manufacturing commodities at lower costs by pushing wages below subsistence levels. This model requires sustained poverty in the Global South as a fundamental precondition for […]
Ireland’s projected budget surpluses for 2025 and 2026—€10.2 billion and €5.1 billion—havesparked renewed calls from the political and media establishment for deeper militaryintegration with Europe. The Financial Times, in a recent piece labelling Ireland “the weaklink in EU defence,” claims that because Ireland hosts Big Tech, Big Pharma and Big […]
The misery of academia in Ireland today reflects the deep subordination of intellectual life to the intertwined forces of Zionism, capital, and militarised research. The Irish university has become an instrument of Zionist-dominated imperialist, geopolitical, and corporate power. Ireland’s universities now operate under the neoliberal laws of profit, where the language of […]
Hardly a week passes without a new attack upon the neutrality of this state—a policy supported by the majority of the people of Ireland. It is not just an attack upon neutrality, but against the Irish people themselves. At the end of October 2025, a former senior NATO commander, Rear […]
