Donald Trump

Socialist Project — The growing threat of the right must be addressed. But this must not come at the expense of dissolving socialist politics into coalitions whose strategies have been responsible for the growth of hard-right forces in the first place.

Dmitry Pozhidaev — Trump’s tariffs are less a blueprint for industrial renewal than a prelude to a new techno-nationalist order organised around capital control, technological dominance and regional economic blocs.

Lance Selfa — Even if Trump tends to see U.S. foreign policy as little more than an extension of his reality TV persona, the changes that his administration are initiating are momentous.

Sam Gindin — Whatever Trump’s inclinations, without an ability to deliver on his economic promises and an escape route from the tariff chaos, Trump’s problems will deepen.

Michael Roberts explains the recent raft of tariffs announced by US President Donald Trump, how they fit into his broader project to reassert US global hegemony, and what a left response could look like.   

Will Shoki — Africa today stands at a crossroads, caught between internal crises, shifting global power dynamics, and the slow unraveling of the post-liberation political order.

DK Renton — Rather than concentrating on applying the (at times, misleading) label of fascist to Trump, the important thing is to learn the lessons from historical antifascist movements to formulate a robust counterpolitics to the Trumpian agenda.

Thomas Hummel — The rise of the global far right defines our historical moment. Revolutionary socialists must revive the strategy of the united front to challenge this new authoritarianism.

Bloco de Esquerda — There are several imperialisms in the global system. But none of them will play a progressive role because all act according to the interests of their capitalist elites.

Amandla! Collective — The second coming of Trump has started to reconfigure the international political architecture that emerged after World War II. This has profound implications for countries both in the global North and South.

Tempest Collective — The Trump administration’s arrest, detention, and possible deportation of Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil is a threat to all our democratic rights.

Steve Ellner — During his first term, Trump exerted a “maximum pressure” campaign against perceived US adversaries in Latin America. But how committed is Trump to fighting Venezuela, Cuba and Nicaragua? Today, it is anyone’s guess.
