The attempts by groups like ANSWER to isolate and censure the recent attempts at building a multi-tendency antiwar coalition have been proven to be totally without justification. ANSWER, and the other forces that attacked this February’s Rage Against the War Machine rally, weren’t trying to help us find what’s best for the class struggle; they […]

After a process of decline in U.S. power which got accelerated by the War on Terror, and decades of neoliberal attacks upon the workers, our class conflict has reached a point where it’s experiencing ever-more-frequent escalations. As strikes keep disrupting capital, and helping more of the people become radicalized, our elites are seeking to maintain

Popular support for the anti-imperialist cause within the USA is much bigger than the left’s opportunistic elements want us to believe; as is the proportion of the people who have a primary material interest in ending U.S. imperialism, and therefore could be brought towards antiwar ideas. It’s not just those who are most socially enlightened,

The narrative actors who have an interest in seeing U.S. imperialism triumph are, in the midst of Washington’s defeat by Russia, having to pretend like the dramas which the hegemon instigates all count as “wins.” They’ve already been doing this for a long time throughout the empire’s decline, at least since the Ukraine proxy conflict

Eurasia has been lost by the U.S. empire. We can tell this from how Taiwan still hasn’t been turned into a location for proxy warfare; even though a couple years ago the U.S. was testing its capacity to carry out a false flag within Taiwan; and such a direct war with China is clearly what Ukraine was

Even though from a practical perspective the imperialists at some point have

To say that the left lacks ownership over the modern antiwar movement isn’t even to make an ideological statement. It’s simply an observation about the objective conditions of today’s American political landscape. A realignment has been occurring within the consciousness of the country’s people; one where in response to the new cold war and its

Above: this month’s Russia-Africa summit The backfiring of Biden’s Ukraine proxy war—which the president himself has implicitly admitted to be a failure with his “Ukraine can’t join NATO till it’s won” ultimatum—has necessitated that the empire shift towards a new front in the great-power competition. This front is going to be a campaign of hybrid warfare against

The strategy of the united front has always been instrumental to the task of winning power, and has always been superior to the modern American left’s default strategy of acting like only others within the “left” are worth reaching out to. Frederick Douglas and his movement achieved abolition by creating an anti-slavery power coalition; the
