Andriy Movchan looks at the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the far right's influence, and obstacles to solidarity with Ukraine’s left internationally.

Gilberto Araujo shares his perspective on the political moment and priorities for the coming period.

Where did the “global neofascist axis” come from, and where is it going? What destabilizing effects might Russia’s war in Ukraine have? Ilya Budraitskis and Gilbert Achcar discuss the current conjuncture.

Robert Stark — Historic elections have revealed deep public dissatisfaction with austerity, scandals, and a fading populist agenda.

Franklin Ramírez Gallegos — Noboa’s victory gives him a free hand to extend the tripartite program he has been developing since he took office in 2023: neoliberal austerity, extractive accumulation and an ‘internal war’ against drug trafficking.

CPI(ML) Liberation — With the fascist offensive intensifying, the battle for democracy calls for greater unity, strength and determination. As revolutionary communists, we must play a vanguard role in this battle.

Ociel Alí López — Authoritarian drift and political blackmail shape the runoff election in Ecuador, where incumbent President Daniel Noboa won Sunday’s vote.

Christopher Ford — Ukraine’s fight for freedom is intrinsically linked to the global battle against reactionary forces.

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.

Phil Hearse — The idea fascists can be defeated by being “no platformed“ has shown its limitations. A socialist and green political alternative that can have an impact at the level of the masses is needed.

Youngsu Won — South Korea has survived Yoon’s self-coup and the subsequent wave of extreme right-wing violence, demonstrating once again the importance of people’s power in defending and consolidating the country’s present-day democracy.

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.
