US imperialism

Luis Fernando Marquez discusses recent developments in Venezuela, the people’s reactions and challenges for the left.

Sanaz Azimipour and Mahtab Mahboub on why we need to oppose both imperial aggression and the Iranian regime.

Florence Oppen — For revolutionaries, the task is twofold: military opposition to imperialism, full solidarity with the Iranian people’s right of self-defense and political independence from the regime.

Eric Toussaint — As the United States launches a new war against Iran it is important to analyse, from a historical perspective, US foreign policy.

Malfred Gerig — The problem with the it’s “all about oil” thesis is that it obscures the other economic and geopolitical objectives of Washington’s regime change operation in Venezuela.

Franck Gaudichaud — The attack against Venezuela in early January are part of the new US strategy within the broader reorganization of the world and of inter-imperialist power relations.

Rafael Ramírez reflects on the trajectory of Venezuela’s resource economy, its changing geopolitical orientation, and the future of the Bolivarian cause.

Pedro Gellert — Cuba’s destruction is the price it must pay for thumbing its nose at the US behemoth. That’s why the left must do all we can to defend Cuba.

Dave Holmes — Sixty seven years after the initial victory of the Cuban Revolution, it faces perhaps its greatest ever challenge as Washington moves in for the kill.

Gilbert Achcar outlines the US’s objective in Iran, why it rests more on hope than certainty, and how it differs to those of Israel.

Kevin B Anderson — Iranian people face attacks from both US imperialism/Israel and a brutally oppressive regime amid their struggle for democracy and social justice.
