In 2026, no one can seriously view fascism as a purely historiographical matter. We cannot ask “What is fascism?” without considering the reality that surrounds us. This question does not refer exclusively to the past, but also, and above all, to the present—a present marked by the strong rise of the far right. The new wave of authoritarian governments around the world has reignited this debate, but this word, which springs to mind when we think of Donald Trump, Javier Milei, Giorgia (…)

“We need not only an electoral and party alliance, but also one rooted in the grassroots and social movements.

Donald Trump claimed to pursue “regime change” in Iran, but in a manner distinct from the George W. Bush administration's use of the term to justify the 2003 invasion of Iraq, which was framed as bringing democracy after Saddam Hussein's overthrow. As we have repeatedly argued in these pages, even before the joint U.S.-Israeli aggression against Iran (see, for example, “Washington Will Not Bring Democracy to Iran” [Arabic], 10 February 2026), Trump's objective was – and remains – to replicate his Venezuelan strategy: abducting the president to pave the way for a successor willing to cooperate with Washington and its oil interests.

The Communist Party of Bangladesh (Marxist–Leninist), or CPB-ML, has re-emerged in a new light following the mass upheavals of August 5, 2024. Rooted in Dhaka and drawing on deep traditions of left-wing militancy and peasant struggle, CPB-ML's role since this pivotal moment has taken on strategic significance—especially when analyzed through Leon Trotsky's theory of permanent revolution and Antonio Gramsci's concept of hegemony and the war of position.
