Italy's hard right lost its March 2026 judicial-reform referendum — yet Fratelli d'Italia remains the country's leading party, and sovereigntism the dominant ideological vector. Salvatore Cannavò argues that the Italian left is structured around three distinct tendencies (liberal, radical-democratic, socialist) and that only the socialist or class-based component is in genuine disarray. He proposes recombining socialist ideas — ecosocialism, self-management, the Paris Commune legacy — with (…)

“Historically redistricting has been carried out in all states at the time of the decennial census to reflect changes in population, but now it is being done between censuses in a partisan manner to benefit one party.”

“When Shawn Fain [president of the United Auto Workers (UAW)] supported Trump's auto tariffs, he made the mistake of thinking that a narcissistic businessman could develop a policy in workers' interests. For Trump, tariffs are a weapon used to bludgeon workers in other countries.”

Farooq Sulehria is a member of CADTM-Pakistan. He was in Brazil to attend the First Anti-Fascist Conference in Porto Alegre (March 26-29, 2026). He is the author of the recently published Media Subimperialisms and the Rise of the Global South (Palgrave Macmillan).

Xenophobic riots are intensifying. They are fuelled by the economic and social crisis, but also by the actions of politicians.

On 4 April 2026, on the occasion of the anniversary of the founding of NATO, the Global Anti-Militarist Webinar was held, organised by the “No to NATO” initiative, created following the appeal of the Workers' Party of Turkey (TIP), in which members of the Fourth International are active. Bringing together speakers from several dozen countries and nearly 200 participants, this webinar called for the organization of an International Anti-Imperialist Peace Summit in June 2026, in response to the summit of this criminal organization planned in Turkey. We are releasing the final statement of the webinar.

The combined results of the 7 May elections have thrown the current UK government into turmoil.

The elections across much of Britain on 7 May were a devastating blow to the ruling Labour Party who lost 1,229 councillors in England and also came third in the election for the Welsh Sennedd and lost support in the Scottish Parliamentary elections.

Those were the words used by Mick Antoniw, former MS (Member of the Senedd), Counsel General in the Welsh Labour government and a senior member of the Labour Party in Cymru/Wales. He was describing the election on May 7 when Cymru underwent a change of historic proportions.

The Scottish Parliament elections on 7 May produced a balance between continuity and change.

The Left Party's 46th Congress displayed an almost deafening sense of self-confidence and fighting spirit ahead of the upcoming election.

Regional elections will take place in Andalusia on 17 May in a context marked by the consolidation of the PP, which in 2018 broke decades of Socialist dominance, and the rise of an increasingly aggressive right wing. Against this backdrop, the most striking development of the campaign is the growth of Adelante Andalucía: according to the latest CIS poll, the party is on course to secure 8.5% of the vote and win six seats, overtaking the coalition led by the Communist Party, which has (…)

Faced with the G7, which is meeting in Evian to organize the destruction of peoples, the exploitation of living things and the domination of bodies, let us organize our resistance against fascism and imperialism! Let's meet from June 13 to 17, 2026 in Geneva to build the internationalist response!

During his second term as president, full of confidence and bluster, Donald Trump has turned to rule by killing, by murder, both abroad and at home. Trump's brutality and callousness, the way he talks about the violence against immigrants and Iranians with such lack of empathy and humanity has become the defining characteristic of the regime.

“The deepening climate emergency means that we need to put upfront the question of the climate and the urgent need to move away from fossil fuels. The Middle East is absolutely key to this because it sits at the centre of the world oil and gas industry, particularly in relation to global exports. The politics of the region – from Palestine to Iran – cannot be understood separate from this role of the Middle East in the global energy system.”

“This new epoch of crisis, imperialist rivalry, authoritarianism, and resistance is opening up space for the construction of a new socialist Left. Indeed, all political organizations are now growing from reformism to neo-Stalinism and revolutionary socialism. The struggle is on to shape a new generation's politics, strategies, and tactics for an epoch of crisis and class struggle.”

The record is hardly a glowing one for the Malagasy military, who seized power by presenting themselves as the protectors of the people against the former repressive regime.

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. We believe that PSOL is fundamental to this process—combining the re-election of our combative legislators with increasing our seats in Congress and state assemblies, while simultaneously driving social struggles forward.”
