BREAKING: Activists tried to block the Rheinmetall arms factory in Berlin. Police violentlydrove them back before they reached the gate. Rheinmetall is no bystander. Der Spiegel reported Germany cleared 10,000 rounds of its 120mm tank ammunition for Israel, to replenish stocks spent in Gaza. In June 2024 UN experts named the company directly, warning that firms arming Israel risk complicity in acts that may amount to genocide. The former Pierburg plant is being converted to make casings for 155mm NATO artillery munition — the first weapons built in Berlin since 1945, in a working-class district next to a public park. German imperialism come home: the state suspends its debt rules for weapons while it cuts schools, clinics and rent. The profit leaves; the factory stays. Action days 10–12 July, mass demo Saturday.

New article: The Pen That Outlived the Bomb: Ghassan Kanafani and the Politics ofPalestinian Liberation. 54 years ago today the Mossad assassinated Ghassan Kanafani inBeirut. He was a communist and revolutionary socialist, the spokesman of the Marxist-Leninist PFLP, and the man who tied Palestine toVietnam, Cuba and Algeria as one struggle. The line that holds his whole politics:

"The Palestinian cause is not a cause for Palestinians only, but a cause for every revolutionary, wherever he is, as a cause of the exploited and oppressed masses in our era."

Read that carefully. Kanafani is refusing to let Palestine be walled off as a private tragedy. He puts the Palestinian refugee in the same trench as the striking miner, the colonised peasant, the worker anywhere under the boot of empire. Their enemy is the same enemy, so their fight is the same fight. That is why they killed him, and why the argument outlived the bomb. Read the full Article HERE

Israeli forces killed the communist Palestinian revolutionary Ghassan Kanafani on this day in 1972. Everyone knows his iconic interview — "a conversation between the sword and the neck" — but have you seen this rare footage? Watch him explain why there is no alternative to people's war for liberation. The original film, "Resistance, Why?," was burned by right-wing Lebanese militias after production in 1971, before it could be released, and was restored only between 2019 and 2021. Kanafani was already one of the most prominent Palestinian voices before that famous interview. The Mossad assassinated him with a car bomb, and he served as spokesperson for the Marxist Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine while never once wielding a gun himself.

First a fun-fact: I was sanctioned one year ago by the European Union for posting these historical facts! Did you know that former Nazis built careers in NATO's highest ranks? Today the NATO summit opens in Ankara, Türkiye — but did you know about the alliance's Nazi legacy? The largest peacetime military alliance in the world has a dubious history of employing some of Hitler's most senior officers. The names Hans Speidel and Adolf Heusinger mean little to most people today. Yet both were key figures in Hitler's war machine who went on to hold some of the highest positions in NATO — Speidel commanding the alliance's land forces in Central Europe, and Heusinger chairing its Military Committee. Read on to learn how former Nazis helped shape NATO into the organization it is today.

Happy birthday, Frida Kahlo! The world remembers her for her art, style, and persona. But few recall she was also a committed political activist. Her work carried her communist, anti-fascist, and anti-imperialist beliefs. She joined the Mexican Communist Party in 1927. Her convictions never left her — even in death, when a hammer and sickle flag draped her coffin. Watch this video on her revolutionary legacy.

Today 64 years ago, Algeria declared official independence from France after a long and arduous struggle led by the Algerian National Liberation Front. The armed struggle of the Algerians tore down a system of racial and religious segregation, political disenfranchisement, and economic oppression. The armed struggle of the Algerian people gave birth to the People's Democratic Republic of Algeria, a nominally socialist state in North Africa that became a role model for other colonized peoples on the African continent and around the world.

Today is US Independence Day, but for Native Americans, there isn't much to celebrate. Millions of Indigenous and Black individuals have endured enslavement, torture, forced displacement, and brutal killings. Today, racism towards Indigenous and Black people still persists.

https://youtu.be/TD8SDssOLAs?is=PEvH_vO3TPweIXcR I was sanctioned over my pro-Palestine journalism. I did not commit a crime, I was not charged, sued, or found guilty by any court — I simply expressed a position that the European Union considers unacceptable, and for that I was sanctioned. The EU says that sanctions are designed to change the "non illegal behaviour". "Non-Illegal". In my conversation with Chris Hedges, we discuss the EU sanctions against me, the criminalization of independent journalism, and what my case reveals about the state of press freedom and civil liberties in Europe.

Africa's poverty is produced, not inherited. Through exploitation in trade and exploitation in investment, as Walter Rodney put it. The Congo is that thesis written in cobalt. And China now runs the machine: 15 of 19 industrial cobalt mines, the refineries, the batteries. The Congo keeps 17 cents on the dollar. They killed Lumumba for trying to stop it. READ FULL ARTICLE

"For the oppressed peoples and classes... Marxism is a shining path." Samora Machel 51 years ago today, a former hospital nurse buried a five-century empire. Portugal didn't leave Mozambique. It was driven out — by the people it bombed with napalm, armed by the world the West called its enemy. They gave guns to their daughters as well as their sons. A luta continua.

Read this twice: 168 children. A UN inquiry forensically documented their wounds — most to the head and chest, most from drones and snipers. Not an accident. A pattern. In two years, more than 20,000 children in Gaza did not survive. 5,031 were under five. around 420 were newborns. doctors watched the region's first confirmed fam!ne take hold — after 22 months of warnings. The UN has put a name to it. the report calls it the g-word: a deliberate strategy aimed at the future of an entire people. FULL REPORT HERE

read this twice. 73 shot in the head. 22 in the chest. The UN Independent Commission of Inquiry on the OPT names it: extermination, persecution, torture, sexual violence, starvation as a method of warfare — and genocide. Killing the children, it finds, was a strategy to destroy a people's biological future. Read the full record: A/HRC/62/CRP.2 — ohchr.org

An entire mining town was massacred because it backed Che Guevara. Bolivia, 1967. The miners of Siglo XX voted to send Che's guerrilla two days' wages, plus food and medicine. So on the night of San Juan, as families slept off the bonfires, the army surrounded the camp and opened fire with machine guns and dynamite. They cut the power first, so the miners' radio couldn't warn anyone. The men who ordered it were trained and paid for by Washington. Almost nobody outside the Andes knows this happened. That's not an accident. I dug through sources in three languages to tell the full story — the pledge, the dawn raid, the US fingerprints, and the town that never forgot.

"Send them back." That's what MEPs chanted in the European Parliament as the EU passed its harshest migration law in decades — offshore detention camps, 2-year cages, deportation before appeal. Von der Leyen wrote it. The far right helped pass it. I broke down what it really is 👇 READ FULL ARTICLE 'Send Them Back': The EU's Racism Is Now Out in the Open

The UK's Forgotten "Vietnam" Britain Beheaded Its Enemies. Then It Burned the Proof. On this day in 1948, the Malayan War of National Liberation ignited. Marxist guerrillas led the revolt against British colonial rule. Many were veterans of the WWII resistance against Japanese occupation — the same fighters Britain had armed, now turned against the new occupier. Inspired by the Chinese Revolution, the armed wing of the Malayan Communist Party became a formidable force, drawing its base from the ethnic Chinese working class. Britain refused to call it a war. Insurers wouldn't have paid out. But its counter-insurgency, dubbed "Britain's Vietnam," wrote the playbook the US would later run in Vietnam. They burned villages. They beheaded the dead. Then they set fire to the evidence — and won. The full story — the massacre Britain denied for more than seven decades, the women who led the fight, and the files they tried to erase - READ ON SUBSTACK
